      No such thing as the Madden curse. Pat Mahomes won the SB the year he was on the cover.

      This will be the first time I’ve purchased Madden in almost a decade. The game just isn’t really that good. It was a mistake for the NFL to give EA exclusive rights to make NFL games.

      Have you noticed Brandon Beane is going for tall physical players? I feel Brandon Beane understands you got have 44 starters to be prepared for the season. What do you feel?

      Josh and Bills Mafia on cover, no one gave him a chance since before college, he will have the happy ending he wants and we want soon enough Bills Fans! Hang in there, Bills are gonna win the whole damn thing, and yes, some of the nfl is pulling for us, and the day they win it all, the whole world 🌎 in a small moment in time will all be Bills fans, for that 1 moment. Go Bills

      One of the best episodes yet. Loved your true feelings and insight into our QB. I might not be alone in enjoying getting to know the real Joe and what makes him tick!

      And they didn’t make a significant upgrade to the receiver room, again. Thought Beane woulda learned his lesson after last year but apparently not…here’s a rookie TE, now go away kid and don’t bother me. They really don’t deserve Josh and they better hope Dorsey – the 2nd year inexperienced OC – improves enough to overcome neglecting O playmakers again or I will be the first person to start a petition to force the Bills to trade Josh to a team who appreciates what they have w him & does anything it takes to build around him rather than wasting his career. And I’m a positive Bills fan, imagine what the negative responses will be like. Sorry I just really thought Beane had something up his sleeve, I thought we’d do whatever it took to bring in a playmaker like Dhop, but nope! Really gonna depend on an inexperienced rookie TE…I’m sure this won’t end badly or anything

      I definitely wouldn't recommend buying a new console/PC to play the new Madden game, Joe. It is definitely cool to see Josh Allen and Bills Mafia on the cover, but the games are simply not the worth the money at all. EA, the company who makes and publishes the Madden games, basically copy and paste content every year and pack their games full of microtransactions because they face no competition. Just trying to save you your money.

      As a former Madden gamer, stay away! The more you know about football the more frustrating the game is. Just prop it up on your Bills shelf!

    23. Adam Maurer on

      Joe! I just love your passion and knowledge, but most of all, your humble nature and regular ability to provide much-needed perspective as we sort through all of the new Bills news. Joe, you're a treasure. I'm subscribed, hit like, etc., but let us know how else we can support you. We can't lose you in FA!

      Great now we got to worry about the Madden curse when we're trying to win a Superbowl we actually look like we got somewhat of a decent team this year who cares about a video game they better stay healthy or the season's going to be over real fast too many good teams to be behind in the standings

      They don't call him the curse breaker for nothing! He's going to flip the Madden curse into a desirable superstition and win the superbowl… key to breaking the curse was putting the Mafia on their with him!

    40. JarjTheJargj on

      Josh Allen and Bills Mafians really will be rockin out in a celebratory fervor like that all season long and straight on through to their super bowl victory. Just wait and see.

    41. Nu-En-Jin 77 on

      Joe,

      As a life long Bills fan and growing up during the Super Bills era of the 90's, I have never seen before the Buffalo Bills finally getting the respect they deserve. Definitely puts a big smile on your face as a fan. Now, to solidify all these accolades we need to bring home a Superbowl trophy to Buffalo. Billieving this will be the year. Great show as always. Go Bills!
