@RiotAct It's a reference from the books and tv show, Game of Thrones. THE NIGHT'S WATCH

I have watched the city of Buffalo and our football team be pilloried over the last 18 hours by the entire sports media complex. AB was being sent to "Siberia", he was being sent "North of the Wall, to the Night's Watch." "The Steelers are trading him to Buffalo to punish him." The Bills are a terrible team. Josh Allen is trash. Buffalo is trash. Nobody wants to play in Buffalo... I hope every member of the Bills is listening to this crap. I hope it pisses them off. I hope we as fans embrace this and run with it. I hope our new offensive line is full of pissed off bad asses and their nickname becomes the Night's Watch. I hope fans show up to games next year dressed as the Night's Watch. They want to make it an insult, I hope the Bills wear it as a badge of honor. Winter is Coming? You're damn right it is....

If I were a rich, young, single guy I wouldn't mind living and playing in Las Vegas. They have no state income tax in Nevada either.

Rappaport says AB refused to come to Buffalo and that scuttled the deal.

Rappaport now says Bills officially out of the AB running on NFL network

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...

We play the Steelers in Pittsburgh this season...

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Steelers are "closing in on a deal" to trade Antonio Brown to the Bills. Wow. It will be interesting to see what the Bills are sending the Steelers' direction, as Buffalo doesn't have any extra picks in the early rounds, holding their own first-, second-, and third-round picks, with the first being at No. 9 overall. Going from Ben Roethlisberger and Pittsburgh to Josh Allen and Buffalo is a significant downgrade for Brown both in football and life. His fantasy prospects will obviously take a big hit with this deal. It's truly fair to wonder if Brown will willingly go to Buffalo.

I wish I had a paid subscription to Rotoworld just so I could cancel it.

Everyone knows Big Ben is a Douche Canoe. We may find that AB just needs a change of scenery. I'll be glad if it ends up being in Buffalo.

AB just signed a fair market value contract with the Steelers in February 2017 , I don't know why the Bills have to renegotiate it. It's four years $68 MM, with a $19 MM signing bonus. He's already under contract. I don't see any reason the Bills should extend his contract past age 35. Let's not get squirrley here McBeane.

Fair point Augie. You might hit on a late round pick. I would rather have them spend their money in free agency to shore up the O- line and if that's not successful for whatever reason, invest heavily in the O-Line in the draft. I suspect that a 5th rounder might require more coaching up than a 1st rounder. Drafting your franchise quarterback and then not investing in the linemen to protect him seems like a good way to be back in the franchise quarterback market in 2-3 years.

This needs to be the year of the O-Line at One Bills Drive. If they can grab two solid O-Linemen in free agency (Paradis/ Williams/Williams/Zeitler/Morse) then I think you have the luxury of looking at EDGE or DT or WR at 9, otherwise they need to grab the best O-Lineman on the board at 9. No point in spending all that capital to get your franchise QB if he is running for his life every other snap. The O-Line isn't sexy but it is the heart of the offense. Can't run the ball, can't pass the ball without a decent O-Line. If Allen is going to continue to develop, he needs an O-Line.

So Case Keenum was basically worth a subway token and half a ham sandwich. Beane's trade of Tyrod is looking better all the time...

The Three Divas... Mayfield, Landry, and ODB in the same locker room? Get me some pop corn! This is gonna get ugly in a hurry!!!

With at least two and possibly three quarterbacks going ahead of us we should be able to grab an elite talent at 9. If we can grab two O-linemen in free agency then I think an EDGE or WR should be on the table. If we can't grab two O-lineman in free agency, we have to grab the best O-linemen left on the board, either Willams or Taylor. The O-line is not sexy like an EDGE or WR but the O-line is the foundation of our offense. We have to solidify the O-line this year. There will likely be four new starters on the O-line this season. They will need all the snaps together they can get at OTAs, camp, preseason, and likely a quarter of the regular season to gel and work as a unit. This needs to be the year of the O-line at One Bills Drive. We can not go into another year with a bad O-line and our franchise quarterback running for his life every other snap with no running game.

Belichick drafted Garoppolo with with the 62nd pick ( late 2nd rd). I don't see him parting with a 1st rounder for his back up qb / Brady heir apparent. I think he feels he can develop a QB just like he did with Garappolo and will grab a solid QB at the end of the 2nd again this year. Ultimately, I just don't think Rosen is a Belichick kind of QB. Belichick still routinely chews Brady's ass in front of the entire team when Brady screws up. I don't see Rosen thriving in that environment. I think Belichick will look for a QB who has two traits, mental toughness to survive Belichick's coaching style, and someone who has a great football IQ. Rosen might be smart, but I just don't think he will do well with Belichick busting his chops all the time.

I pray he doesn't go to the Pats just so I don't have to listen to the media ball wash Belichick over his amazing move to get a first round QB prospect with a 3rd round pick. Having Allen, Darnold, and Rosen all in the AFC East might be interesting though....

I agree with this opinion but the nature of the NFL Coaching Carousel probably makes grabbing a new QB this year more appealing to Vrabel. Most coaches get three years to get the job done and then they get the ax. If Vrabel sticks with Mariota again this year and he doesn't get the job done, then they are going to be drafting a rookie QB or trading for a retread QB in year three of Vrabel's tenure. Not a good situation to be in for Vrabel. Conversely, if they draft a rookie QB this year, Vrabel probably gets a mulligan for his first year with Mariota, and he'll have two years, more likely three years, to develop the new QB. From a job security point of view, I think Vrable is in better shape drafting a new QB this year.

I knew we we're going to be in good shape next year but I had no idea the Bills were that flush. Solid info. Thanks for posting.

Fair point ODB. I think its likely with the cap space and draft picks we will add to the roster in those areas and not subtract. I can't imagine the O-line or WR groups being worse than they were last year. I am so glad Benjamin is gone. In all my years of being a Bills fan, I have never hated a Bills player until Kelvin Benjamin.

I don't see 1,000 rushing yards but I do think this is a break out season for Allen. Look at what Allen did in the second half of the year with no supporting cast. This will be his second year in the offense, he should have a decent O-line in front of him so he's not running for his life every snap, a running game to keep the defense honest, give him a couple receivers who can get separation and catch the ball, and I think Allen is going to surprise a lot of the "experts" with what he can do. I think we are on the verge of being a good football team again for the first time in two decades.

Too bad you weren't hanging out with my friend that night...

http://www.realclearlife.com/sports/super-bowl-champ-patriots-have-nfls-second-easiest-schedule-in-2019/ Thanks to the strength of their 2019 schedule, the road for the Patriots to advance to their third straight Super Bowl is going to be an easy one. Based on strength of schedule rankings for each team, only the Washington Redskins have an easier path in 2019 than the Patriots. The rankings are done by determining the combined winning percentage of a team’s 16 upcoming opponents based on their record from the previous year. Inconceivable!!!

I was listening to the Pro Football Focus radio show on NFL Radio Sunday night and the two guys from PFF said it was a near certainty that Kyler Murray was going to be their #1 ranked QB going into the draft this year.
