January 19, 2025 Baltimore 27 at Buffalo 38 Just finishing the pattern here

Who did each of these voters select for 1st team all-pro QB?

May be.

I usually bet ON the Bills because I have faith in them to win and it sweetens things. I generally would only bet against them if I already had a ton of money riding on the Bills (like a Super Bowl bet), and wanted to hedge in some way. Otherwise, no amount of money that I’m willing to bet would make me feel better if they lose.

If you want to get your hopes back up, this CBS sports writer makes a good comp to Manning v McNair back in 2003, and why Josh still has a good chance to win MVP even though Lamar was 1st team all-pro. Similar argument as Peter King, makes a lot of sense. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/lamar-jackson-vs-josh-allen-which-qb-deserves-mvp-most-and-why-its-not-a-done-deal-despite-all-pro-results/amp/

This is what I’m hoping, although some pundits (like Florio & Simms) talk like it’s a certainty that Lamar is winning. Hope enough voters ultimately distinguished MVP from All-Pro this year, but not counting on it either. Regardless, if the Bills beat the Ravens this weekend, that matters more than whoever actually wins the MVP.

Agree, ESPN confirmed the Vikes are 24th pick. That’d be pick 56 by my count.

Florio and Simms are already touting Lamar as the eventual MVP (two of the voters), then saying in the same breath maybe their projected “snub” will light a fire under the Bills. Between the Raven fans and these talking heads, I want this team to beat the Ravens so bad next week. The stadium would be going nuts.

You’re seeing snow in the forecast for Sunday night?

And I’m convinced that Texans team was laying down on Christmas. They had lost Tank Dell a few days prior in KC, and really had no chance to improve their seeding from the 4 spot. The media keeps touting how Baltimore has had the top defense over the past six weeks or so, but look at the crappy offenses they’ve played. Even more sickening if Lamar wins the MVP because they played crap teams down the stretch.

Agree, this team is happy to run so long as the other team can’t stop it. Baltimore is very tough against the run, arguably better than Denver at it. I’d be surprised if we’re able to be as successful running next week, but Brady will no doubt plan for that too. The Ravens have some solid players in their secondary (Hamilton is a great safety), but don’t have Patrick Surtain. I’d expect we need to open up the passing game more next week than we needed to against Denver, but we’ll see.

No worries man, love the optimism! Hope you’re right and we keep winning.

And then beat the Rams in the SB.

And they’re gonna do the same for the Chiefs in the AFCCG. Sets up nicely for this team to keep proving people wrong.

One could argue this will be the real Super Bowl….

And there’s a: This just in Why you ask Hear me out 😂😂😂

The turf will hurt a big guy like Henry more when he’s tackled to it as well.

This is what I’m expecting. Chiefs/Texans first, then our game. NFC games next Sunday.

You think the OP is serious?

Amazing handoff by the MVP there

Let Russ weld!

Let’s see how Playoff Lamar does on the road against a Bills team that keeps getting underestimated. This team is going to come out pissed tomorrow and the rest of the playoffs too.

Would totally love if all the Lamar voters get egg on their faces.

Weren’t you saying Josh would win it in a landslide recently? He’s still got a shot , but it’s obviously going to be close.

This is the part of the movie right before George McFly knocks Biff out
