I remember that play, he forced Darnold to throw it earlier than he wanted for an incomplete pass. I had no idea that is how he got freed up. Awesome power.

I'm not the least bit worried about Beasley. With that said, even though he was getting open he did make 2 mistakes that hurt the team today. He will.

Brown - Consistently was beating his man and caught everything thrown his way The entire defense- many of them played well they smothered the Jets and they rarely could find any rhythm. Stopped them in critical situations McD - Leader of men. The team never gave up despite have all the fluky stuff go against them. Singletary - Without his spark and playmaking ability we dont win. I said it after we drafted him despite all the teeth gnashing that he was going to end up being the main RB on the team. Allen - Played better than his stats showed, aside 3-4 passes he showed remarkable poise, stood tall under pressure, made some very nice passes and led us to victory with clutch throws. True gamer

Without doubt the biggest determinant of whether or not the Bills will have success this year rests on Josh Allen's shoulders. Without him making that year 2 leap we will be a middling sort of 7-9 to 9-7 sort of team. The Bills have upgraded pretty much everywhere on the team so they will be improved from last year. Defenses will try to take away the run and key in on Beasley to take away Allen's go to receiver, but I also believe that defenses will try to also takeaway the deep ball to Brown and Foster. That is why I believe that the mid range 10-25 yard passes can be there to be had for the TE's and WR's. If protection can hold up and Allen can trust his receivers and the line, then these opportunities will be available.

I'm going with Singletary from about 5-15 yards out.

Many posters on this board, and I won't name names (starts with an S and ends with W) believe otherwise.

Because sometimes players fall through the cracks for a time period. The shelf line on this crack is quickly expiring.

That helps. With that said I think it was also a matter of tweaking certain things they were doing. I completely expect them to improve their Redzone D.

Yep, he is a British guy and took me out to a popular sports bar and was very friendly about it and how I had a lot to look forward to in life but that I had alot of maturing to do and wished me the best. I was shell shocked to say the least. In retrospect I'm glad he did it, it humbled me not to mention it led to a course of events that I wouldn't have traded for anything.

Until we fix our red zone defense, which we were awful with last year, we wont be elite.

Sometimes in life you can begin to get a little cocky until something dramatically humbles you. I know that happened in my life, when I was younger I was the top producer for a company that I worked for, thought that this level of production allowed me to say and do things that were outside of normal bounds and one day the owner of the company invited me out for dinner and essentially fired me. Talk about a wake up call. Not saying that would be the case here but it's worth exploring and laying out the clear ground rules.

I was just listening to KC Joyner on Sirius NFL radio and he was discussing Singletary who he happens to be very bullish on from a fantasy perspective and then they got to talking about Shady. Joyner has this metric system and one of the metrics he looks at is "when there is good blocking" metric. Shady ranked 2nd to last in the NFL at what he called an "abysmal" rate. Also there was a similar metric for screen passes when there was "good blocking" from the team and again Shady ranked in the bottom 5 of the league. He mentioned how in just about every category metric they look at he was exceptionally poor this past year. I'm a fan of shady and thought he was a great teammate but he did have an awful year this year and it wasnt all the line's fault as dome have suggested.

I loved Shady's attitude when he was with the Bills and he was a fantastic teammate who helped mentor and support players on the team. He had some really productive years and was definitely a big reason we made it to the playoffs. With that said he definitely had lost a step and with the emergence of Singletary and Gore/Yeldon combo to fill in the void and the freeing up a substantial amount of cap space, along with Bodine departure the Bills are in great position to pounce on some potentially good players who will be cut or available.

It's not a matter of hate but a matter of how much of a douchebag he has shown to be.

Looks pretty solid. I suppose if I had any differences it would be Yeldon, Johnson and Munnerlyn would make the team. Maybe Kroft and Joseph as well.

I was blasted by the Rosen fan boys of this board (and there were many) when I said that one of the reasons Rosen's stock continued to fall after the draft was because of how much of an insufferable douche he can be. He still continues to be that same guy.

The players didnt like Watkins, I'm sure they were just fine with him leaving.

I would say that the team is stacked with a number of mid level backup 2nd - 3rd tier NFL roster level WR's.

It is not a matter of needing it is a matter of upgrading.

No, it has been insinuated but not established.

?

He didn't trip on his own.

I'd be perfectly fine with it because the way I see it, they are both going to be good pro's in this league. I think they both have really good potential in being true #1 TE's in this league.

Everything is judged on a relative basis, of course just about every team attempts to instill a culture of success and on the surface many of the teams are doing similar activities to attempt to achieve that goal, the difference is that the organizations that do it right, usually have a few common traits. Detailed organization, structure and execution. There are a number of examples such as: That you may have a coach that conducts practices that will work on concepts A, B and C and you may have another coach that touches on those same concepts but end up having totally different results with similar levels of talent. One of the main differences between coach A and coach B could be proper preparation, how efficiently they conduct their practices with time management concepts, how they structure their practices etc. Or if we are talking about from a GM point of view, organization is key. Who do they surround themselves with, how they go about their scouting, what metrics do they use to judge talent, what sort of structure do they have in place to conduct their activities. The varied nuances between similar on the surface structured organizations are endless. Every team has scouting departments, the implication that the poster above made was that " They all have scouting departments, structure" etc etc. Therefore, since they all do this, this is not the important factor. I have been part of a powerhouse program in youth sports and a well-to-do organization that were doing very well years before I became a part of it, while I was there and many years afterwards. They didn't just get from Point A to Point B by just "winning". There was a process in how these things unfolded. There are large differences between these programs and organizations that continue to endure success and the ones that don't. The other notion that was thrown out there was "talent" was the determining factor. I agree that talent is hugely important but again, this is where this line of thinking fails. Bringing in "talent" consistently for years on end doesn't just happen. Sure, every talent and scouting department will be able to bring in good talent, but the best organizations that have the best processes and culture in place are the ones that do it consistently. This doesn't just Happen. You never get from Point A to Point B consistently by luck. The ones that do it the most often are the ones that have the best processes in place. This is not logically disputable. For me, it's as clear as day and maybe that is because I have been fortunate to be a part of them and I'm grateful for that because I have been able to apply some of those concepts into other things that I'm currently doing. "Culture" I know is an abstract concept, it's not as easily able to detect or gauge as other linear beliefs or theories. This is why some people have a hard time believing that "culture" and process matter. The difference always lies in the structure, details and nuances of how things are approached. It's within those differences that separate the ones that are consistently at the top 1/4 of their peers and the rest.
