You're right WEO, winning just happens. Successful organizations just happen because in order for them to be successful they just have to first be successful. Right? Right???? Creating a culture of accountability, work ethic, preparation, discipline, structured program, recruiting, scouting, development, proper training these are all just made up buzz words, terms and processes that are thrown out there that have no meaning. Because, ya'know Winning just happens! Amirite? First win! Then culture comes. This line of thinking is pure and adulterated ignorance. I will say it again and I will stand by it knowing that you and any other person who believes this to be the case which is that winning creates culture rather than the other way around has never been a part of a consistently successful organization or program.

This is pure ignorance. That's not how it works and it is clear that you have never been a part of an ongoing successful program or organization.

Of course. Winning organizations don't just magically happen.

That's not how it works. Culture is established before the winning. Winning only reinforces and validates it.

You're living in the past, let it go.

Provided he stays healthy, he will be an important contributor and all the reports from camp and practice indicate that to be the case.

I wont commit to their stats this year as Kroft will be in the picture (maybe). But I believe if Sweeney were our #1 and #2 TE's and they got the playing time that corresponds to that then I'd say between the two of them they'd get over 80 receptions their rookie years and would only get better with time. But I dont know McD and Dabol's plans, they may want Lee Smith to have a large role with his blocking ability, who knows how Kroft recovers and he could play a large role as well and of course that would have major implications for Sweeney and Knox. Even though I think it will be difficult for Kroft to get any sort of rapport with Allen, optimistically probably not until the 2nd half of the year could he become a factor. And Croom, I think his days are numbered. Over time, I do believe Sweeney and Knox will be our 1 - 2 punch from the TE spot. I'm hoping this year as I think they will be up for the challenge.

Well, you can count me in with the kooky funny crowd because I am going to go out on a limb and say that both Knox and Sweeney will be the best TE tandem that the Bills have had in since.....well..... Forever. I'm on both their bandwagons

Barring any trades Brown Beasley Zay Jones Foster Robert's Are all locks Foster's on the field performance last year cannot be ignored and if he were to be cut this would be the first move of Beanes that I have seen that I'd question. I just dont think that will happen. Zay was Allen's top target last year, is a process guy and has good rapport with Allen. If he isnt traded he wont be cut. I had Ray Ray ahead of Duke last week, not any more. Duke is turning it up and my guess is he will get some time with the 1's over this week and lots with the 2's to see whether or not of he is beginning to blossom. With that said McKenzie has shown he can produce when it counts and he has more special teams value than Duke. So he definitely has the edge. But Duke is a physical receiver who can block and high point it and that is something the Bills like.

Certainly shaping up to be the best secondary the Bills have had in my lifetime. If they stay healthy, I dont see why they wont be. We have the right system, players and coaches to make that happen

That's too bad. Perfect fit for this scheme and the Bills were a better team when he was on the field. Maybe next year.

Cam is tall! Oliver looked short compared next to him.

Dak is a decent starting QB, somewhere in the top 13-15. Definitely not worth $40m a year. For the value he gives to the Cowboys at that price tag he'd break them.

Not sure these qualify as "surprise" cuts Yarborough Croom Yeldon Bodine Ray Ray Lee Smith if all the TE's start off the year healthy. Sweeney wins the 3rd spot.

By any objective measure, Ed Oliver did not struggle.

The wide receiver you are talking about was a pariah with his Bill's teammates, was often injured, inconsistent and was going to want a huge contract. He massively underperformed his contract with the Rams and the Chiefs and he has continue to prove to be very injury prone. There is very little doubt that it was the right move. You know I respect you but this is not even reasonably debatable.

Not pursuing Watkins was a really good decision by Bills brass for numerous reasons that have been discussed ad nauseum. Not sure how this is even still a debate in some quarters.

No such thing as culture. It's a catch phrase for losers just trying to buy themselves more time. At least so I've been told.

There you go again. Being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. Arguing who is more polished due to the position he plays. Doesnt it get tiring? Always just wanting to argue.

Sometimes I think you just argue to argue. He was viewed as the best guard prospect coming into college in over a decade. Became first team All-pro his rookie year. For someone to take a guess that he will be a generational talent based off that is not a stretch and certainly not worth arguing about.

That was an odd statement. He stood his ground, shed the block and assisted on the tackle at the line of scrimmage. In which then Q piled on top after the tackle.

What to me stood out aside from his explosiveness is how he anchored himself on those double teams and didnt get wiped out of the play. In fact he actually made a tackle after a double team with Q involved, held his ground and still made the tackle at around the line of scrimmage.

Teller will make the team but won't start over Spain.

I agree with most of your analysis but your Singletary take is way off. He was one of the best players on the field, despite the stats. Barring injuries, by the end of the season he will lead the team in touches.

A lot of people have a hard time understanding this concept.
