are they hanging on a wall, or out on display in any way?

 

They were hanging on the wall, between two Norman Rockwell photos.  Then I got married.  My wife made me put them away in the attic.

Then I gave them to my father in law, he gave them back.  Now they're in the garage.

Interesting thing regarding the Mack situation: 

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/rookie-could-be-key-to-unlocking-raiders-pass-rush/2018/08/06/48bd279c-99bc-11e8-a8d8-9b4c13286d6b_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.bc9d997310d6

 

Would it surprise anyone to see the raiders trade an all pro and replace him with a guy with a ton of character concerns?

I wanted variety and I had a lot of wall space.  These were good Rockwell prints and I couldn't afford to buy more....so I stuck with two.

 

This is literally what my wall looked like behind my TV.   It was unique.

The swords were directly behind the TV.

 

The Rockwells were 20 inches apart on each side from the swords.

 

I also had a black, round bar table with two tall stools.  That was in the corner by the sliding glass door that lead to the balcony.  

 

Sectional couch that was dark green.  Black coffee table from IKEA.

 

Red bean bag too.

 

Nothing matched but people still came over.  Even girls.

Twitter accounts to monitor over the next 24 hours:

 

https://twitter.com/52mack_

 

see if the location changes from Oakland CA or Bills stuff appears

See if Bills stuff is removed

 

Beane has usually been good about keeping the player involved well informed - so these may be early signs of some action on Astro's prediction

Nope.

 

Outside of quarterback, very few players in the NFL are worth that kind of investment - unless you KNOW he is the last piece necessary to make a championship run.  And the Bills are nowhere close to that point in their building process.

  • First of all, Khalil Mack would cost us a 1st Round Pick.  Bare minimum.  And considering all the question marks on our roster, it's quite possible that pick will be Top 10.  For most decent GMs, a Top 10 pick should be a slam-dunk starting caliber player.
  • If that wasn't already enough, (assuming we aren't looking for a 1-year rental) I've been reading that it's very possible Mack hits $20 million per year in salary.  For a comparison, Star Lotulelei just signed for $10 million per.  Jerry Hughes makes $9 million per.  Trent Murphy came for about $7 million.  Kyle Williams and Micah Hyde make roughly $6 million per.  Jordan Poyer is between $3-4 million per.

 

At the end of the day, the cost of trading for Mack would be at least 3 strong NFL starters.  Depending on how well we played the free agency game, that money could go even farther.  I'm talking 5-6 starting players.  When you are building for long-term success, you can't justify that.

at the time it was what i thought too.  it seemed like the most logical move at the time.  

 

 

Man, teef, if the defensive lineman in front of you, a LB, aren't very good then it makes your life more difficult.

 

However, if the QB throwing passes to you, a WR, isn't very good...then you suck.

?

 

Maybe you make that move if you have a QB you are SO SURE is your future, but no offense, you don't do it for EJ. even with what we knew about him back then coming off a reasonable first year.

 

I just keep replaying these mistakes in my head.  It's easy to paraphrase "sins of the father' here with "sins of previous GMs and coaches".

 

They are gone, but we are left to suffer.

If anyone is seriously monitoring Jerry Hughes' Twitter because they think Astro's vague tweet implies a trade, that said trade would be for Khalil Mack, and that a Khalil Mack trade would have to involve Jerry Hughes... I just don't know what to say.

How long can you keep going F5? Gotta do something else. And yes, some of us fans are not the most effcient when it comes to use of our time.?

Because most likely we will be a 5 or 6 win team and that is usually top 10.

 

I like this years team better than last years and they managed to win 9.

 

I would be happy with 8,9 or 10 wins and would be ecstatic with more but only slightly disappointed with less than 8.

Please don't do that to me. I see you post and make the assumption that there's some news, or at least a rumor from a verified source. I'm sending the hospital bill to you next time.

There is news.  Astrobot tweeted that Beane's not done!  Connect the dots...

 

Time to order your Mack jersey

It has nothing to do with what anyone does with their time. Just to say that following Hughes' Twitter would be getting RIDICULOUSLY ahead of yourself.

 

There has been no indication that Mack is available and that we'd even be in on it if he were. And even if he was and we were - there's no guarantee it would definitively involve Hughes.

If life were so simple, would you have 18 pages of posts in this thread?

............ also monitor the preseason games to see who the Bills / Raiders have sitting out.  Should give us an idea who is involved in the trade.  Can't wait.  F5 F5 F5.
