How lucky we are...

Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs is reportedly unhappy with his role in the offense and his lack of a voice in play-calling, according to a source.

Our receivers block for the run game, run whatever route is called, catch it when it comes to them, shut their mouths, and put team above self.  

It is so easy to like this team.  From the front office on down, the organization has a winning culture throughout.  And it's special.  For you guys who have been around a while, you know that this hasn't always been the case.  Enjoy it and appreciate it.

There are a number of things I love about the WR corps:

1.) Crazy talented

2.) Driven to WIN, not just put up stats (Chase slamming his helmet after the final offensive play in Super Bowl).  

3.) Support each other (remember when Irwin had that big game?  They were all so happy for that dude)

4.) Let Joe decide.  No calling out when they are open.  Joe will get them the ball when that is what the defense dictates.  He doesn't play favorites.

5.) Blocking (as you mentioned)  I will never forget the play where Chase caught up to Mixon in Detroit and (hilariously) blocked the same guy twice.  The second block putting him on his ass.

6.) Confidence.  Sure, all WRs have it, right?  Or is it sometimes a false bravado?  These guys know they can beat you and aren't afraid of anyone.  

7.) I wasn't sure what to call this one, but I am going to go with:  "Youthful Energy".  They bring so much energy, fun, and passion to the game.  It carries over to the entire team.
