Rock-A-Bye Beasley

What?

Never said I like him. Only said I think it's embarrassing to see Bills fans call him a loser when he outscores all Bills receivers every year.

Incorrect. It was phrased as "If they have a disastrous season" which coach would most likely be fired. Still disagree, but it's a big difference. Cossell said there were some plays where Oliver struggled in the Colts game. Said he played well overall and was going against a good player in Nelson. He also prefaced it by saying he knows Bills fans will overreact to even that. Thanks for proving him right guys!

Depends, what do you call players that end up in gold jackets?

It just reminds me of the posters in this thread calling AB a loser. Same motivation. Making themselves feel better because they think there’s something worse that what the Bills put out on offense last season.

I was referring to a thread earlier this month with posters making fun of Gruden for complimenting Peterman.

haha. It's embarrassing seeing Bills fans on this forum make fun of Antonio Brown (and call him a "loser") and, earlier this summer, John Gruden for complimenting Peterman. Maybe take a look in the mirror first.

So funny. Well he's back at practice. We will see if he can once again outscore the entire Bills wide receiver corps and wipe that underserved smirk off Bills fans faces. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/antonio-brown-actually-shows-up-for-raiders-practice-and-it-appears-his-crazy-helmet-saga-is-finally-over/?ftag=SPM-16-10abi8e

i know!

I get that you don't want him on the team (although his play far outweighs his distraction), but if Beane wanted him on the team enough to give up assets to acquire him, why do you care if he gave him money also? Plenty of cap space this year and next btw You really don't think they had a deal in place? If not, why did Beane back away? money?

You hope our GM wanted to trade for the best WR in the league but not pay him?

Oh you think I thought it was finalized with the league? That would be crazy. I don't know at what point it fell through but it seems like the two teams were done negotiating and had a deal in place at the very least. After that it gets hazy, but if Beane backed out because he didn't want to sign AB to the deal he got from the Raiders I'm very disappointed. What I think is more likely is Brown expressed his displeasure with having to go to Buffalo and that's when Beane backed away from the deal. I hope so at least.

No one knows! I just hope Beane didn't back out because he thought we couldn't afford to pay the best WR in the league in the two years they have the most cap space in team history.

I never said finalized. You added that part in your previous post. You're now arguing against yourself, congrats!

I respectfully ask that you leave me alone. I'm arguing on a message board with two posters about the same issue. Others are also taking my side, yet you're singling me out. Nope! ...But they don't fall apart because of money when the team trying to acquire the player has more than enough cap space. I'm glad Beane tried to get Brown. If he backed off because he didn't want to give him a two year deal in two years where we have more than enough cap space then i'm disappointed.

Right because the Bills didn't really have the cap space this year or next.

The burden of proof isn't on me. That's my point. Shady stated it as a fact.

Don't worry. I'm not upset. Maybe focus on yourself or someone else that's arguing with me.

wrong. You obviously agree with them. That's ok, but I question your intelligence if that's the case. Royale and shady (who brought it up in the first place) on one side and c biscuit and me on the other. Yet you chose to quote me and say i'm upset.

Why do YOU care? You took the time to respond to me. I'm not the one who cares. Why are you quoting me and not the people who are claiming the deal wasn't done. They posted THAT first. I'm simply correcting them, followed by a back and forth. If you really don't care it should be equally annoying to see either side's argument. It WAS reported the deal was done. It has never been refuted clearly. The Beane quote doesn't say there was no deal. No, you prove to me "with concrete evidence" that they were wrong.

Looks like he's back at practice. So we will see. The Steelers were pretty good while he was there.

It's more likely that they weren't wrong. Why is that so hard for YOU to understand?

Why do you say that? don't you think it's possible he plays week 1 and has a good year? John Brown has 1 catch in preseason, it doesn't matter.

Yes, why would they report it if it wasn't agreed upon by PIT and BUF. You tell me.
