I'm not sure why so many people think Pittsburgh and Buffalo are vastly different (from a city standpoint). Weather wise it snows more in Buffalo but other than that it's pretty similar. Plus I always hated the hilly terrain in Pittsburgh.

Kinkhabwala:  "From what I was told a little bit ago, the Steelers have said they are accepting bids up until Friday morning, that as Ian has said, they're closing in. I was told earlier today that the Bills seemingly had the best offer but that the Steelers were going to keep their word, that they are accepting bids until tomorrow morning."

AB options as Twitter ridiculously overreacts and tries to tell us why AB going to Buffalo will lead to him retiring.....ok let's look at the other options if true:

 

1.  After telling us he needed to be the man in Pittsburgh, he's going to go to the Packers and share targets with Adams.....after getting salty JuJu became such a go to guy for Ben.  Plus, Brown doesnt help their defense and that they might be the 3rd best team in that division.  

 

2.  The Raiders.  Lol ok Derek Carr has been a tire fire and so is the state of the team.  Worst team in the West.

 

3.  The Titans.  Mariota is terrible.  /story.  

 

4.  Redskins.  Ok Case Keenum here you go.  Good luck guys.  

 

5.  49ers.  Dont appear interested likely cap issues

 

6.  Jets.  Possible but probably dont or cant offer what we can.  

 

 

Any place he ended up will be seen as laughable by the low info media and fans.  The Bills make the most sense for so many reasons.  A focused AB with an improved oline and we're a playoff team.  

 

Whether the Bills bias allows you to admit it or not, Mariota, Keenum, and Carr have all proven and shown more in this league than Josh Allen. Hell, they all showed more in college too. We're hoping Josh Allen becomes something he's never been, while the others have all shown at one point or another how good they can be.

Why would you dislike acquiring a HOF WR still in the prime of his career?

 

Bills not ready to compete. I rather build up young core around Allen. Now you got Allen having to deal with a WR who is a headcase. It puts undue pressure on your franchise QB. I think the Bills end up regretting this move if it goes through and that is not knowing what the compensation will be and the contract they need to give for him to even show up in Buffalo.

Dont let his dumb commentary spoil the good name of Mary Jane.  

 

She’s a miracle, but she can’t fix trolls.

 

I have no problem with it at all as it does have many positives. But every single one of his posts also shows the negative effects it can have, lol.

Rappaport is NFL Networks top insider doubt he puts this out there without it being pretty much done if this was Lacanfora or Espcially Schefter  I could pretty write it off as fake news  and ready for the Mega contract we give Funchess 

 

Schefter is one of the best at breaking news.

whether there is truth to this or not, you have to commend the Bills for trying a move like this. Regardless of AB's baggage, he's an elite player that the Bills have too often in the past not gone after. So good for them. Please don't @ me about his age either, he hasn't shown any real drop off yet.

The real question is why didn't we grab Keenum for the sweet deal the Redskins got him for?

Swapping late round picks & splitting that yearly contract with the Broncos? That's no risk, all upside for someone with that experience.

Seriously? they have 3 QBs under contract.

Because Schurmur Theilin and Diggs dont come with him.

 

He's trash.  Look what a supporting cast did for him.  And when he "only" had Sanders and DT.  Train wreck.

 

Makes me giddy about what one will do for Allen.

You don't watch the NFL much, do you?

 

NFL is so ridiculously year to year that saying the Bills are "not ready to compete" is utterly ridiculous if you believe the Front Office found their QB.

Everyone is worried that Schefter, or whoever isnt confirming the trade.

 

I bet you he's pissed that he didnt get the scoop first and is wanting to seed doubt in rapsheets word by not confirming. 

 

 

 

Hope you're right... going to bed now and hope this trade holds up.

Swinging for the fences with a single flashy free agent name is not how you build a strong, championship contending team.

 

This is nothing the Bills haven't tried many times in the past.  Sabres too for that matter, at various points in their respective histories.

 

This reminds me of trading up for Sammy Watkins with EJ Manuel as the QB, and in a slightly different way, buying Mario Williams for the largest defensive K in league history, at least at the time.

 

PS:  If the Bills really have swung for the fences in a bid to get Brown, does that mean everything we've been hearing for so long about "the process" and "culture" was just 100% BS?

This does not seem like a very Bills move under the new regime. Need to see what we are potentially giving up here draft capital wise before making a judgement, AB is definitely talented but it's not like we're a star WR away from going to the superbowl.

Maybe, but it definitely puts them in the playoff picture.

 

Heres the thing, the colts, jets, and browns have cap space and are going to spend for the marquee players whether it be tyrell williams, leveon bell, or matt paradis. 

 

Its better for the bills to jump ahead of them and get the best WR available. 

 

Besides who would you rather pay big money to? Brown or Tyrell?

Beane has never had the capital to make big acquisitions before now, so how he would act with some money in his pocket has really been an unknown.  The Bills needed a #1 WR and they may have just filled that whole in the roster before the draft with one of the top three WR's in the league. Hard to complain about that.  Now if we can just grab a couple of O-Line free agents...

WHAT IF:

 

We trade for AB swapping firsts. 

 

Then draft Marquise Brown in the 2nd. 

 

Pats will be getting a Brown Out s**t storm twice a year!  

 

Boomin!  GoBills!

I am talking about championships and not being a one and done playoff team. 

 

Seems more like a Russ Brandon special that being about the process McDermott preaches. I guess we will see who ends up being right if deal goes down.

The unfounded consensus on this thread is that we’re getting Brown for an 11 pick trade back.

 

Those arguing against the trade are doing 1 of two things:

 

1- arguing against adding a HOF player in the late prime of his career without knowing the compensation. 

 

2- (using the above stated assumption) arguing against adding a HOF player in the late prime of his career for the literal price of Cordy Glenn.

TO helped propel the Eagles to the Super Bowl, which they might have won if he wasn't playing on a fractured leg.

My guess is that this was really just a (dirty) play from Steelers and it was leaked in order to make Raiders increase their offer.

 

He will not come here, I am really not sure if it is good news or bad news. Probably bad news, since if Beane was to bring AB in here, I am pretty sure he'd had some prior agreement with him and he would normally play for Buffalo (without any drama).

Mcnabb was entering his prime going into his 6th year. What was the Eagles record leading up to those years. 1st in the NFC east for the 3 years prior to that losing in the conference championship each year. Maybe it is you who doesn’t watch enough football.

That alcohol is a drug? I'm pretty sure everyone knows this. He said no more beers for me, and I was saying I haven't had a beer in over 10 years. Don't think thay was too hard to understand.

Yes but you alluded to having a problem with alcohol which you seem to implying was the problem with the Devil’s lettuce. Pot/kettle....
