Yea I had to play it back, he said it quick.

Would you trade Josh Allen for Sam Darnold?

Apparently the Monday matchup is normally 4 v 5, so based on that, I think that’s least likely for us. Given Bal and Pit both play this Saturday, I’m figuring at least one of them on Saturday that weekend. That said, I’d put my money on us playing sometime on Sunday. Given Denver is a 2 hour time difference, it wouldn’t surprise me if we’re the 4 pm slot on Sunday or potentially SNF.

Just wait til we host the Ravens in the divisional round, and the debates/hype/etc. that will surround that matchup.

Broussard has an NBA MVP vote, not NFL. But if people like him are finally ceding to Allen, I’ve got faith the actual MVP voters will give Josh the majority vote.

So you’re thinking the scouting staff was advising Beane against Bishop, but Beane decided to go rogue and take Kincaid’s input on him instead?

Beane picked Bishop because of what players on the team thought, while the scouting staff was saying to not pick him?

No MVP has ever had more than 7 losses. No way Burrow gets MVP, even if Bengals get in the playoffs. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-player-with-most-losses-in-a-mvp-season

If Pitt rests their starters so that they end up with the 6 seed and a rematch with Ravens, I’m okay with that. Not really worried if the Bengals win, because it’d be a shocker if both the Broncos and Dolphins lose.

The staff should definitely get prepping for Denver, Miami and Cincy more this week, probably spending more time in Denver than the other two. The staff should already know Miami real well anyway. The odds are heavily in favor of us playing Denver. I’d be shocked if the staff hasn’t been prepping for potential playoff matchups already given we clinched the division a few weeks back. As for the extra day, our best guys should be fairly rested for the WC Round too, given I wouldn’t expect our best starters to be active or playing much against the Pats anyways.

The Jests only got ONE problem?

The Ravens still need to win their division, so Lamar will be playing…

Here were some of the predictions from our in-house experts:

Keon at the 1:30 mark at Josh’s MVP status: "It took this long? S---, he was MVP five games ago," Coleman said when asked about Allen being the front-runner. "But I'm biased." I think him and Josh will be alright.

Trade him!!!

They sound like a bunch of spoiled brats.

Well and I believe each voter has a 1 thru 5 vote, with the player ranked 1 getting the highest weight. So it’s even more complicated than 25-25 and less likely a co-MVP could happen.

Gonna hear a lot of sour Ravens fans complaining over the next several weeks. Beating them in Buffalo will help shut them up.

Was that actually Eric Moulds???

Lamar didn’t need to play Week 18 last year either and still won MVP easy. Josh isn’t going to get dinged for finishing his test early and being 13-3 doing it.

MVP isn’t announced until a couple days before the Super Bowl.

Tony Romo going to help hype Josh up today and bring the MVP home for him.

When Burrow’s team doesn’t make the playoffs next week, he should get exactly zero first place votes for MVP.

From the forecast I saw, wondering if wind will be the bigger factor than rain at this point.

We will ultimately find out when the votes are cast where Acho lands. People can’t just glaze Josh nonstop when Lamar is actually putting up better numbers. After Lamar’s performance on Wed, Acho acknowledged the race isn’t over yet, but also posted a video clarifying how the MVP is about which play is most valuable, not necessarily who has the best stats. Whoever Acho and others vote for, they’re ultimately going to need to answer for that, so a measured approach is to show consideration for various perspectives. I continue to believe if Josh and the team lock up the 2 seed tomorrow, barring a horrible day by Josh, he will end up winning MVP. And he still has a decent shot to win it even with a bad day in a win tomorrow.
