Late morning Mug-o-Beer with Joe. No better way to start the afternoon!
Joe, thank you for your diligence and expert analysis of the Bills and their roster! You are a consummate professional!
Go Bills!!!
🦬🦬🦬
Big props to your willingness to increase content output Joe. 👏 🦬 Have a great weekend.
D.J Moore career stats are better then A.J Brown plus their same age and he’s more durable great pick up! Who cares about another 2 round Coleman at pick 60! Moore is a dog!
Joe is crazy 3 vids today and I love it just watched the 2 mock offseason vids and was hungry for more bills content and saw that joe posted again. I really dont know how Joe does that an absolute beast. Greetings from germany, really love this show
I'm not thrilled we gave up our second but the Bills needed to add talent. We cant go back to starting Brandon Cooks. DJ Moore might not be everyone's top choice but there's no doubt the Bills added a dependable and good WR
Josh, should he develop chemistry with DJ, should be a nightmare to game plan against. Now Shakir and Kincaid (when healthy) will have an easier time getting white space on the field. Let's see how this plays out before we judge this trade. Two years of high production with Josh is what my expectations are. Year three will be the challenge with Moore, this contract and the Bills. As such, can we please draft a WR we are committed to developing not named Keon Coleman?
Go bills I like this pick up that 2nd round pick was pretty much a 3rd
A lil steep on the price, but if Moore proves himself as wr1 and dont bomb like Coleman or Cooper, nobody will make a ruckus about "value"
Awful bean 🫘 blunder he’s a jets operative obviously nobody sucks this bad 😂
Josh has to be pretty excited
Buffalo has always had good receivers until 2024, when beane fumbled. But now we have another no 1 receiver
When was the last time Beane negotiated a trade and the Bills clearly had the upper hand on value?
Thanks for all the content Joe 👍
DJ Moore wore a C on his chest and from what I'm reading, he's a leader, and respected in the locker room. Let him get in here with Josh and see what we have. Plus I'm hoping he can mentor Keon and get him playing to his full potential.
I'm thinking a few teams that picked higher were offering a 3rd and with our 2nd basically being a 3rd, the 2nd is what was needed to get it done.
Kincaid is going go crazy this season, bruh. Calling it now, 700 yards, 8 TD.
3???
Well…, we'll see won't we? Just stop wasting Josh's wonderful talent…. I love re-watching Ravens loss in Game 1. It was masterful Quarterbacking… In a disgusting game UNTIL THE LAST 4 MINUTES! Don't tell me The Brady Bunch can't win a SB. They can. You just have to get COMPETENT FAIR REFFING in crucial Playoff games. What is the word on NFL determination for Cheff Officiating crew as a result of the Denver fuck up?
They get a #1 receiver now with the best QB in the NFL
As always I took a few months away from football after we were knocked out but man I missed listening to Joe.
I've seen a lot of comments from Bears fans sorry to see him go (and very new saying they're glad). I think that's a good sign.
1 year with Allen and the DJ Moore contract will look like a steal. Who cares about a late 2nd round pick, Beane filled a need and I doubt any receiver at pick 60 would be as good as Moore is now. Rams have one 1st round pick in 10 years and it seems to have worked for them. I think everyone doubted Diggs and that worked out great, well Moore is a more muscular Diggs and took even less to get. We can't beg for a receiver and then complain about the great player we get because we gave up pick 60 for him. Can't give up on betting on players because ones in the past got hurt, Milano always had injury problems and Miller got a 6 year deal at 33 years old… Still draft a receiver to develop but now they can attack gaping holes on defense and interior line. Good move, shows that they are trying to capitilize on Josh Allen prime and not be cheap.
12-5 dumped in second round of playoffs. Josh in LA land in 2029
How possible would it be to trade Ed Oliver for picks
Call it what it is. Its a pick swap 60 for 164.
What’s funny about value…is nationally no one acts like we have to much for DJ Moore….with the pick and the cost of his contract….they think that’s just the cost of the WR1 market…but locally everyone’s like OMG a 2nd?
I think we trade down with the raiders so they can move up to draft any of those late 1st WRs like Boston, KC, or Omar Cooper. Then we get and extra 3rd and a 6th for them to move up from 36 to 26
Joe- I always appreciate your level headed review of Bills moves. You are a NEVER MISS for me… Appreciate the content! Go 🦬🦬🦬
A very pricey aging panther…..jeez louise.could have drafted a wr and defensive help on rookie contracts.but obviously this team can't scout talent.so we let the Panthers from 7 yrs ago as our scouting department.bad move imo.but you know what they say about opinions right?
