If something like this was in the works, i would have heard it. And no offense meant, but we've been down this road with others before. Why should we believe you?

thenorthremembers Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 6 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: 26 pages on a tweet that has no real news or substance other than what we all already know? There is 0% chance anyone inside the Bills shared any detailed information with Astro about trades or any other personnel decisions. At best, Astro just restated a blanket statement someone said that Beane is still open to exploring other trade options...or even just tweeted his own speculative opinion. Which we don’t need anyone to tell us anyway as a Beane as proven over and over he will always be open to looking at trade scenarios any time of the year. This tweet really wasn’t any news, just stating the obvious IMO. I completely agree with you. However, if there is nothing to it, why make the tweet at all? And then to top it off, follow up on the tweet? If you're stating the obvious, preface it by saying "this is only my opinion but" or "I have no inside information but" Stuff like this is the reason you have Jerry Sullivan on Buffalo Rumblings blasting non-union writers. I fully support the guy's right to do something he loves, but if he truly had no real information (acknowledging the tweet was cryptic and not specific to Mack) he should have stayed off of twitter, or at the very least been more responsible about it. Because as it stands now this looks like an attempt to gain twitter followers to push his writing career. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldnt! But i guess its fun for some to put this out there. My point is that its very easy to make very bleek comments on this board and sit back and watch ppl get carried away with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtothebrown Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I do know several ppl within the org, and like i said they dont call me to tell me things that are happening within, and some of the stuff they do tell me, i dont repeat on a fan forum. When there is conversation about the team, its not mentioned in gosdip, its more like this guys having a bad traing camp, or the coaches arent fond of this guys attitude or there looking to upgrade this or that. Every once in a while, there will be some major news such as the team may be looking to trade a player or two, but im not gonna come on here to tell everyone what im being told by ppl that trust me to keep to myself.

Yeah again no offense taken, we had people come in claiming they were "in the know" and that really meant they knew nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah "Beane's not done" sounds like an actual transaction is going to happen as opposed to maybe being considered. The next time Astro says something like this I will not look at it the same way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, let me get this straight 26CB..this forum took "Beane's not done yet" and morphed it in 26 short pages to Khalil Mack is going to be a Buffalo Bill via trade for either half the existing D-line and the next six #1 draft picks or a bucket of tape. This forum did that? No way.... Astro contributes/contributed a lot to this forum during training camp and the draft especially. His training camp reports are things of beauty. I am willing to let him speculate something may be happening every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but when you say "beanes not done" youre saying it as fact and not a hunch. It could mean a trade for anyone but it was dumb to make it seem like he had info and 2 days later back off that and say it was a hunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take such things with a high degree of skepticism as they most often amount to nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Maybe they introduce Mack tonight at the game from the Pegula’s suite, a la Roger Clemens IN GEOAWGE STOINBRENNAH’S BAWX at that Yanky game years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
