    This.

     

    Damn near every pass thrown today has interference from the WR & DB. Jostling for position on the ball, hand fighting through the route and forcing a guy to the sideline. I expect a very high number of incompletions to be overruled by DPI. If I’m not mistaken, a successful challenge means you can do it all game, right?

    No. You just get to keep your timeout. You have two challenges whether or not they are successful.

    As I said before, this looks like a diva throwing a tantrum because someone (Buffalo) didn't bow to his demands.  Why would he be this fixated on Buffalo otherwise?  Buffalo had the audacity to not give the legend in his own mind everything he wanted.

     

    If I was a FA and said to my agent, "You know, not Buffalo." then got Vegas, I'd be happy.  I didn't want to go to Buffalo, I didn't go there.  That would be the end of it.  I wouldn't be like "You know who sucks?  Buffalo.", "Buffalo is my least favorite city in New York.", "Did I mention Vegas = Yay!, Buffalo = Boo!", "I could have gone to Buffalo, but didn't want to.", "You know a city I don't like?  Buffalo.", "Buffalo is a city full of doo-doo heads!", "Man, I'm glad I didn't go to Buffalo." ...etc.

     

    For someone that supposedly wanted nothing to do with Buffalo, he certainly can't stop talking about it, can he?  That's the behavior of someone who is seriously butt-hurt, not someone who simply didn't want to come here from the start.

    Makes no sense in the context of this audio recording. AB isn't the one who's butthurt.

    You an believe what you want.  That he went to the Raiders proves it was about money.

    No, it doesn't. Players don't look at last year's records. It's about tradition and perception. The Raiders are a sexier organization, period. Not to mention better weather and more celebrity. The evidence clearly indicates that AB didn't want to go to Buffalo, period, so money wasn't even discussed. Just accept it and move on.

  4. I'm very glad this came out, because now it'll only be people who are truly in denial (see: John Murphy, and some in this thread) who still believe that Beane nixed this.

     

    What some of you are saying is hilarious and not believable in any way. Just accept the fact that some people really do feel the way AB does about Buffalo.

     

    Rapoport's reports were true, from the deal being close to AB not wanting to go to Buffalo. It was the BILLS doing all of the damage control in this situation. This phone call confirms what was obvious in the first place... The reason they didn't talk compensation is because AB made clear to Rosenhaus that he didn't want to go to Buffalo. I can't wait to hear Murphy explain this away tomorrow. We now have hard evidence that AB balked at the Bills, yet Murph will probably still try to twist it somehow and say that no one feels that way. ?

     

    AB is making fun of the Bills now because he was offended by the suggestion that the Bills walked away. He thinks it's funny that they're doing damage control and wants the truth to be known. He started this all the way back on the first night with #fakenews.

    Looks like a thug. I approve.

    In all seriousness, what makes him look like a thug? I'm not criticizing you; I actually want to know. Women love thugs, and I'd like to look more like one.

     

    Is it the tattoos? The headgear? The sloppy beard? The facial expression? All of the above?

    I think he goes in the 2nd or 3rd at the end of the day and I would love for him to be one of our picks. 

     

    I almost wonder if this is a smokescreen though because they’re literally exposing that they’re interested in him with every possible opportunity. 

    I don't think anyone really bothers with smokescreens for mid-to-late picks.

  7. Good long interview, but nothing really new:

     

    Got a lot of positive feedback on his "It really pisses me off" defense of Buffalo.

    None of the free agents they talked to said anything negative about Buffalo, whether they landed the player or not.

    Morse is a "clear upgrade"

    AB negotiations were dead almost 2 days before the Rapoport tweet. Said "We had stalled" talks based upon compensation on AB's side.

    Josh did some great things and did some head-scratching things. Injury was a blessing in disguise. The problem is not accuracy; it's decision making. Needs to take the easy throws. His 90-yard TD run in scrimmage was eye-opening.

    A lot of their planning is done with the goal of matching up with the Patriots. NE has greatest coach and QB of all time, so they're hard to stop.

    NYG called about O'Dell. Beane told them we're focused on FA; circle back later if you don't get another deal done.

    Still need to scout each class of QBs in case someone you like falls to mid-rounds. Can be good trade asset.
