Have there been more tweets from Spain other than the deleted "if you knew the reason" thing? ...nothing I've seen other than the Beane explanation.....plenty of posts here looking forward to Spain's return..what did he do in your assessment to be demoted from his starting position?........ Beane explanation ‘“It’s hard when you’re not a starter, in fairness to him,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said. “There’s no blame to go around. Quinton Spain’s a good guy, a good person. He didn’t see this. You never know how things are going to work out when you put a roster together. Every team’s a new team. Nothing happened. There’s no one thing like, this happened and the dam broke and all the water went out. It’s just, we decided at the end of the day, being today, that he would be happier having a chance to start. And so we just gave him that freedom and wish him nothing but the best.”’

That would be hella dirty laundry to throw out of the locker room. Bad look by Cody Ford if so. The Ford quote is a lyric from a Meek Mill song. I can obviously see why Ford posting THAT line would raise some eyebrows -- particularly with Spain "liking" the Tweet. It seems crazy to me that an o-line with Dion Dawkins and Mitch Morse would be bickering/dysfunctional. Both are good guys and, by all appearances, good leaders. 1

He still needs to evaluate him, if he’s healthy he should play. I think their offense could look decent with all 3 top WRs, Becton back at LT maybe Perine can add something. Bills fans will hate it but this is probably going to be a game that won’t erase all the negativity. We have a ton of injuries. This. Funny that the undefeated titans didn’t worry too many bills fans...wait til tre, Milano and smoke sit vs the jets. Oh man. Josh, Diggs and Beasley better be dam good on Sunday. They’re gonna earn their money this week if we win. our lack of a running game allows any and every opposing DC to win the game vs us. And when JBrown isn’t out there, our offense hasn’t shown to be effective. Edited October 22, 2020 by NewEra 2

And two of the tweets Spain made were Beanie Sigel lyrics One can't help thinking that the lyrics are telling a story to them I would be surprised if there isn't a lot of tension on the Bills OL at present, especially at the guard position. Dawkins Morse and Williams seem set. But Spain lost his starting job, Ford lost his guard gig and moved into Spain's job, and all 5 of them are under intense scrutiny because we can't run the ball against 7. There has to be a lot of pressure from McDermott onto Daboll and from Daboll onto the OL coaches and from the OL coaches onto the guys in the trenches Ford and Winters playing hurt and Spain getting cut regardless can't help I'm sure guys have opinions about that and their opinions may differ. 23 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Hopefully just a song lyric.

ShakAttack Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 All this talk about Jets having their WRs for the first time this season... Crowder popped up on the injury report yesterday with a new groin injury was limited yesterday and OUT of practice today. I don’t think he’s a lock to play at all, and he’s the most dangerous WR they’ve got... 1

The Tre and Poyer hits are surely frustration and the whole D has to feel embarrassed. If the O can get back on track I would think the Spain stuff will blow over. Wins cure a lot of things and losses bring them out. I really believe the team has high expectations for this year and those 2 Ls hurt them bad. 1

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 What’s the deal with Milano? We need this guy back. Jets or not, we are not the same without him. He makes a huge difference

CNYfan Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Definitely a lack of discipline the last two weeks. I am looking at the high number of pre-snap penalties in Nashville and the roughing penalties last week. Gabriel #13 misses many blocks and the Dline is playing like they are in three feet of water. Besides getting blown up the DLine does not chase run plays down the line or from behind. 97 Old Addison just stands there and watches guys run by a few yards away. Not sure what is wrong with the OL and won't guess, but they are not playing well. I think the Jets game is going to be a struggle.
