bobobonators Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 4 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: His comment about everyone from the Bills who goes to the Pats goes to either Super Bowls or Pro Bowls. Super Bowls? No **** Sherlock. Pro Bowls? ? Nope. Try again. Gilmore actually went to the Pro Bowl with the Bills but was not selected with the Pats. No former Bills were selected to the Pro Bowl. As an aside, Zach Brown also went to the Pro bowl with the Bills, but then was not selected with the Redskins. None of the other guys he mentioned who had good seasons after they left (all WRs btw, nice throwing TT under the bus along the way) who made the playoffs (boohoo oh wait you did too) went to the pro Bowl either. The author tried like Gumby to make it look like Gillislee did anything, which was amusing. Hes an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: Those guys didn't back into the playoffs on a lucky Dalton 40+ yard TD strike on 4th and 12 to a rookie who had an underwhelming season. And to everyone else hating on him...its pretty silly to do that. He is a FA...the reporter is specifically asking him about the Pats. What is Preston supposed to say? Screw the Pats? Is he supposed to have loyalty to the Bills Team who isnt yet showing him the loyalty? Is he supposed to piss on the Pats in the press and eliminate them as a possible place to sign if the Bills dont step up and keep him? I dont get fans. They always demand loyalty from the players who are never shown the same loyalty by either the fans or the teams they play for. He didn't say he would rather be there, he just said, as he should, that he felt he was a good enough player to help that team. He should feel confident enough to be able to believe he can help any team in the league. So if a reporter asks him if he can help a certain franchise, the answer is always going to be yes. Its a business...its in his best interest to not be negative about the Pats both in keeping his FA options open and to keep Bills moving towards keeping him. Which he has stated publicly he wants to stay here. .....and the Patriots didn't get any help from the refs along the way? I'm proud of the Bills and how they got in. They won their last game and yes, got some help from Dalton, but I am proud of them nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 He looks to definitely be trying to do some damage control on his twitter now. Forget him, and forget these pathetic people tweeting out pictures of their kids and dogs in Preston Brown jerseys begging him to stay. He's solid, but he's not great. Certainly not above replacement level. Let him go, it's vitriolic but it's how I feel. !@#$ him, rescind any offer and tell him to !@#$ off. !@#$ing slow ass wack in coverage MLB. !@#$ him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Preston wasn't only complimentary of the Pats. He started bringing up others guys who left for other teams and their success, a bit irrelevant to his value and dealings with the Pats, you wouldn't say? Not only that, I know Goodwin had a good year but he lumped him in and left it to he inferred by people the Goodwin made the playoffs. It is a business, the way he went about it was just wrong in my opinion. He could have just said they're a successful organization that maximizes talent, why he started bringing up all these other guys irrelevant to the Pats is beyond me. And then saying, "They always get the best out of the buffalo bills". He made a lot of mistakes, I try to be objective and it cuts both ways. Saying this was just business, and a smart move by Preston is just trolling or going above and beyond trying to be objective. Fair enough, and yeah I actually missed part of the article as an ad broke it up, so I didn't see the rest of his comments and went back to see them. I assure you I wasn't trolling (which is a waste of time), or going beyond trying to be objective. I just only caught the first part of the article and thought it was done and missed him further elaborating. So I do agree, that while I wouldn't expect him to say negative things, he probably said more than he should have and went a little too far with it. So I see your point, good reply and I more or less agree with you on this now. I still want him back though, and overall am not too concerned or bothered personally about it to not want him to stay. But thats just me, I get why others may feel differently. Edited February 28, 2018 by Alphadawg7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Call me crazy, but even after just one year I'll trust the Bills' braintrust to properly evaluate Brown and make a decision on what they should/shouldn't pay to retain him. I thought Brown's comments in that article were fine, except for the fact he made it sound like Goodwin went to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wsam4031 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Typical Boston paper making these guys out to be better than they are. Hogan- ok Gilmore- happy he left- chandler- wont even give a response TD mike- sorry to lose him but was nothing for them. If Brown wants to go let him. If hes gonna talk about hopefully signing with the Pats after playing with the bills for the past few years I hope he does an dhope he stays when we finally start to beat they as@@s. Talk about kicking the bills in the gut. If you wanna sign then sign don't talk about how you want to go to the dark side now Bills fans will forever hate him after reading that article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 That was honestly one of the most bizarre series of statements I've seen from an active player - campaigning to be picked up by another team (division rival nonetheless).
