The handle McD has on the locker room is why I think the AB to Buffalo trade makes sense. Tomlin is a big part of the problem in Steeler country IMO. We have two elite players now that really don't want to play for the Steelers. How about Bell and Brown both in Bills uni's, Steal the killer B's from the Steelers

Overreact would mean "declare a national emergency " so we can post on TSW. -
Would you trade a high 2020 draft choice for AB?

These are all good points including the McD/Beane purge. -

Amazing what BB and Tom Brady have accomplished. Myself personally, I just don't put AB in the same category as a Josh Gordon. -

In light of the way AB's last season ended, I understand why many of you feel this way. Myself personally, keeping players like AB in check is why we keep role model players like LeSean McCoy. Touche on the zero rings... -

Never said I don't care about team chemistry, just the opposite actually. Elite players set the bar high for those around them IMO. Whats really funny is how bad AB hurt team chemistry when they win a championship. LoL. Or how bad he hurts team chemistry scoring 15 TD's last season. LOL. Ever think maybe AB's not the problem. LOL. After all we gave to draft Sammy Watkins, and what does Beane do when he's doesn't fit the Bill? thats right, we send him packing. LOL. Thanks for the laughs.LOL Sorry fellas, this is a rude way for me to respond, but what comes around goes around sometimes. -

Myself personally, the odds of drafting what will become arguably the best WR in the game are slim to none. The odds of drafting a #1 WR are somewhat slim IMO. Even If you are fortunate enough to hit pay dirt at the WR position it still may take upwards of 3 seasons before the athlete is capable of taking on the position/production of a #1 WR in my humble opinion. If I was a betting man I would bet Josh Allen and Company can handle the off the field antics/crying of AB, vs the slim odds of drafting a player that would even come close to the talent and on field production. I agree with you when it comes to Buffalo not being very high on the list of favorable destinations in AB's mind. On the other hand the the skill set of Big Ben and Josh Allen are very similar when it comes to arm strenghth , mobility, and an ability to extend plays. Making JA and AB a good on field match in my humble opinion. Allowing AB to continue right where he left off as one of the best scoring machines in the NFL. -

Its probably a mute point now, but all this talk about hurting a young QB, well how about how much arguably the best WR in the game can help Josh Allen on the football field. Good grief, these are grown men and If AB came to Buffalo and didn't fit the so called process or disrupts the chemistry McD/Beane would send him packing. Again, AB scored 15 TD's last season, two more then the whole Bills O, TE's WR's RB's combined.( receiving) The only reason AB is even remotely available is by choice IMO. Clearly AB doesn't like his QB and perhaps he has good reasons not to that go beyond the playing field. Apparently AB is important enough to the Steelers organization for the owner to step in and try to remedy the problem. -

Antonio Brown scored 15 TD's last season. Now to me that screams get AB the football. In comparison Buffalo's TE's WR's and RB's combined scored 13 TD's. ( receiving) 15 TD's can help win allot of football games my friend. As a RB back in the day Thurman Thomas wanted the football. Buffalo was smart enough to give it to him. Big fan of Thurman Thomas, but it would not surprise me If he was a miserable person to be around sometimes If he didn't get his touches. The Bills team that went to 4 straight Superbowls bickered because it was full of talented players with big ego's. Its funny how when your winning all the negativity along the way is easily forgotten, when you lose everything gets magnifified. My point is the Steelers have been crowned world champions in the past with AB as a big part of their process/ team chemistry. Myself personally, If Buffalo shows a genuine interest in AB its because McD feels the leadership in the locker room is strong enough to handle it. I agree with you on OBJ, he's a major distraction, but I don't know If I can put AB in the same category. -
Well he is a die hard Packers fan and they did kick our ass last time we played so that qualifies as opposition IMO.

I get where your coming from but, for me the pro's out weigh the con's because for #1 AB has proven he can handle the heavy load. I also think the similarities between Josh Allen and big Ben would allow AB to continue right where he left off as one of the best go to guys in the league. Myself personally, sometimes a change of scenery works wonders for a fella's attitude even If he needs it adjusted a little by leaders in the Bills locker room. Great players at the WR position want the football and AB has earned that right in my humble opinion. -
Despite all the high scoring O's in the NFL this season in the end it was spectacular D from both teams that stole the show. Myself personally, Gilmore deserved Superbowl MVP honors. Not a player on a unit that only scored 13 points, regardless of how many catches he made, IMO. I've grown accustomed to commenting year in and year out, " If only Buffalo could grow QB's like we grow CB's" I'm not sure I can say that anymore ...

Protecting Allen properly and giving him a quality security blanket at the TE position is key IMO. Watching the Superbowl I kept thinking to myself this is the kind of D McD can bring, and this is the kind of football game Josh Allen is going to find a way to win.

The Ninja foodi I posted about finishes off frozen wings with an air fryer/crisper after pressure cooking for 5 minutes. Makes the best wings I've ever eaten. I air fry them about 16 minutes. I'm no chef, but the Ninja foodi makes me feel like one... -

T-Bone Steaks, FF's, and crab legs I think the old son of a bum might have something up his sleeve for this one my friend. -
The dogs would be supported by border patrol providing a mobile, flexible security blanket thats hard to out smart IMO. At a fraction of the price. Awesome reply by the way.

I understand No, but equipped with GPS tracking devices and drone surveillance flying above them.
