The Bills coaching staff must not agree with you because he was benched in favor of them

 

This is good examples of the bad guard play by the Bills.  And this has been going on for awhile this season and is a big issue in the run game... Hard to believe that what Spain offers isn't as adequate or needed especially with the injury to Ford

I disagree.  I believe that women prefer the softer core pornography with fancy stories and costumes that whisks them away to another place in time.

Not going to fact check this  one. Will trust your expertise.

Cant they say no when his contract is guaranteed this year? What if  another injury occurs this week?

That's obviously a chance they're taking, but maybe they didn't want to expose the other guys to waivers and risk losing them, when clearly Spain didn't want to be here.

Showed up out of shape and never really seemed bought in this year.

 

Won an off-season award ostensibly for conditioning.  Not sure what happened, but not a good look for the front office to go form a 3 year contract extension to releasing him 7 months in.

New O line for the Jets game.

Dawkins, Bottler, Morse, Mongo, Williams 

 

Someone in the beer industry is starting at LG?  I knew Buffalo needed help at guard, but not that much.

I think Spain just wanted out and the Bills obliged.  Something happened behind the scenes.

^^^^^^This.

yeah i just don't get it.  He's making money.  He can pout, but what if someone gets hurt.  And now we have almost no money to sign a guy off the street because of the dead cap hit this year.

Hmmm...this can’t be right; I was told that I don’t know what I’m talking about regarding guard play when I said that the guards have been brutal

When Spain goes to the Chiefs or another contender and looks better than Ford/Winters or plays like a borderline probowl level it's going to be interesting to see the comments on here.

 

Also seems to be a lot of hype over a guy (Feliciano) who was not even as good as Spain was last year for this team and his return isn't going to change anything in the run game, pass blocking, etc.

 

 

Could this be Spain himself?

 

Go Bills!!

This is essentially the timeline:

1. Bills re-sign Spain 
2. Bills name Spain starting LG
3. Spain gets benched
4. Spain throws a temper tantrum and asks to be released
5. Bills release Spain

Calling it now, Spain will sign with the Chiefs given the glaring hole they have at the guard position (not that it mattered against the Bills though even though it was an issue in every other game for them this year).

I could see Dallas in the equation as well with the injury Monday night 

[babulator]

The stars and moons aligned on this one.  Spain fell in the pecking order, Mongo is coming back, so used what leverage he could to get out. We clearly have bigger issues than worrying about appeasing a disgruntled backup. No sense letting that cancer start to fester. Im sure Beane started making calls immediately after the foot soreness. That's the kind cancer that needs to get rooted out immediately, especially if his contract allows you to do so.

Wyatt Teller would be our best o-lineman right now.

OMG - Spain wasn't active!!!  HE DID NOT PLAY. 

 

Now maybe he looked bad in practice?

Im not singling out any certain individual player on the line.....the o line has been horrid in run blocking....now it could be dabols run scheme as i still think his running playbook is very bland and easy to read for defenses

riiight it’s always a “temper tantrum” by the player - no chance that the coaches and Spain sat down and had an adult discussion about his current and future role on the team. 🙄

Addition by subtraction!? Spain signed a 3/$15M deal...kinda odd!
