Listening to these two interviews and considering everything else, I’d actually put my money on Ingram being the planned starter this week rather than Elam. Like you’re saying, seems like Elam knows his time here is pretty much up and he’s just biding his time now. We’ll see.

I will tell you, even Sal Capaccio could have returned that one for a pick 6.

Elam must not “practice” hard enough Hoping he gets the nod and proves coach wrong

What’s wrong with that?

Must get this thread to 100 pages first, let’s go!

Plus better than getting an INT in the stats.

Kupp:

And lack of CMC also contributes. A joke that Purdy was in MVP conversation at one point last year.

Oh yea, some of the voters are already saying it’s Josh’s “unless Saquon breaks the rushing record”. Well, Saquon likely will break the record bc his last three games are against trash running defenses. Which means if Josh is going to win MVP, he needs to not give any reasons otherwise these last four weeks.

If Douglas, Rapp, and Hamlin all miss the game, thinking our starting secondary will be Benford, Elam, Johnson, Lewis & Bishop?

Right, while Chase had a really good week, receivers put up those numbers all the time in the NFL. Josh put up some numbers only seen once before.

Hailee ain’t no Rachel Bush. In fact, I give Hailee at least some of the credit for Josh having his clearest mind ever now!

This makes too much sense 💯

Josh only scored 6 TDs in a manner that’d been done once 70 years ago. Like Josh said, needed to do more. /s Ridiculous.

Agree. The way that Goff could get it in my mind is if Goff somehow outplays Josh this weekend, those odds will come down from like 13/1 to 7/1. And then if Lions finish 16-1 and Bills somehow lose one of last three or worse, Josh maybe loses support in favor of Barkley or Goff. The chance of all of that happening is probably fairly low, hence the current odds on Goff.

If the Bills go 12-5 or worse, I’d be concerned the door opens up enough for Barkley or Goff to win. Aside from stats, the MVP voters put a huge emphasis on wins. Hence Lamar beating out Josh last season, or why Burrow isn’t in the MVP mix this year in spite of his amazing stats. We can probably lose to the Lions and Josh still win it, so long as the Bills handle the rest of their business. If Josh is rested in Week 18 bc we’ve wrapped up the 2 seed and we lose to finish 12-5, that might be a scenario where voters would give him a pass. As someone with money on Josh and who loves the Bills, I’d really like a win against the Lions this weekend. Don’t see how they’d finish worse than 13-4 then, would knock Goff out of consideration, and would keep them in the 1 seed race.

Plus, if Allen doesn’t win MVP at this point, it’d likely be because we have additional losses down the stretch, which I don’t think Josh or anyone here wants.

I think good/great rushing teams alone are our Achilles heal. Just so happened that Stafford and his WRs decided to go supernova against us this week too, but I think getting beat in the air will be more the anomaly than a frequent occurrence. Hope Goff doesn’t prove me wrong 😬

To me if we can slow down Detroit’s run game enough and hold them to FGs, we have a great chance of winning. That’s a big IF for this team though.

AFC North is pretty much going to come down to the BAL/PIT game in Week 16. If Steelers win that, they win the division. Ravens win, their odds go up big time. And Ravens probably have the better chance of winning that game, given it will be in Baltimore.

So you’re saying this was inevitable, huh? 🙃

JA Phone Home

I am biased, but I think Josh should get it. He did something only done once 70 years ago!

Just have to accept the NFL wanted the Rams to win this one. Hopefully we’re scripted to win this week and the eventual Super Bowl.

Are these people professional football coaches and experts, though?
