Patriots fans can only laugh at how Joe Brady's first offseason is aging

"“So obviously, now that Brady is running the show, he opted to get Allen multiple good WRs, right? Wrong,” Beckman wrote. “Their offensive move this offseason was trading a second-round pick for a 29-year-old D.J. Moore... and that's it.” Buffalo's D.J. Moore gamble hasn't changed the problem Patriots fans saw coming"

"Despite having one of the top-five quarterbacks in the game, the Bills refuse to give Allen more than a single playmaking wide receiver. Moore is no Stefon Diggs, and while he will be an obvious upgrade over Keon Coleman, he wound up being cast off by Chicago for youngsters like Rome Odunze and Luther Burden."

"Since Allen became the starter, the Bills have had Zay Jones, Diggs, and Khalil Shakir led the team in receiving. That's simply not good enough. Of course, Mike Vrabel and company won't complain one bit about that. They just have to focus on keeping James Cook in check and double-teaming Moore, knowing that Allen will ultimately have to put his Superman cape on, as usual."

The New England Patriots have dominated the AFC East for decades, but Josh Allen’s rise has made the Buffalo Bills a major divisional threat. Buffalo won multiple consecutive division titles before a Patriots breakthrough in 2025. During the Joe Brady era, Buffalo’s first major move was trading a second-round pick for D.J. Moore, without adding additional wide receiver weapons. The concern is that Moore alone does not solve the broader issue of surrounding Allen with enough playmakers. Since Allen became the starter, receiving production has been led by Zay Jones, Stefon Diggs, and Khalil Shakir, which is viewed as insufficient. The Patriots can focus on containing James Cook and double-teaming Moore, expecting Allen to compensate through exceptional play.
