'Hard Knocks' season finale exposes Bills' cuts, culture and championship dreams

The final episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills" closed the loop on who was waived and who was brought back to the practice squad.

It also featured some funny moments in the closing of the show with Tre'Davious White attempting to rap, but it's strongly suggested that he not quit his day job in the NFL.

Here are a few moments that stood out in the closing episode of the five-part look at the Bills.

Casey Rogers on team chemistry

In the show's opening segment, the Bills' defensive line got together for dinner. Local kid Casey Rogers discussed the "natural bonding" he has with his Bills' teammates.

"Just how easy you guys were to wrap your arms around me, just made it fun", said Rogers. He continued, "Like, real talk, I usually hate fall camp. I like, woke up every day excited to be with you guys."

Jordan Poyer & Jordan Phillips Reflect on Bills’s Culture

Later in the show, Jordan Poyer and Jordan Phillips talked about their return to Buffalo. "When you leave here, you see how it's more of a business. Guys aren't really hanging out. It's not really fun, you're just going to work, you're going home, yada yada yada, that's not fun", said Phillips. He continued, "You know, it's just like I much rather be doing it with the people I love. You can be yourself, you can have fun, people care about your families. You just can't beat it."

Poyer added, "Being in Miami didn't even feel right. This is home, man, this is where my heart is. I grew up so much from 2017 to 2023, and i just felt like I got a lot, a lot to prove to this game, to myself." Adding, "This is my safe space. This is where I feel me."
