It definitely is but Lamar got 45 out of 50 1st team all pro votes and 49 out of 50 MVP voters last year. That's at least four voters who though all pro and MVP were different criteria. So, if Lamar gets say 28 first team all pro votes Allen could still win MVP.

I get your overall point but what does the pandemic have to do with it?

Interesting chart based on betting odds. Allen not winning would be the exception to the rule

Seems kind of cruel to wait until Tuesday but that's the Raiders for you.

Lamar seems like good value at +180 to +350 depending on the sports book. In my experience, that's a suckers bet. The sharps are on Allen based on the criteria with how MVP voters have voted in the past.

Gave up a 3rd round pick to get him too. Also, gave up a third round pick to pay for Sneed from the Chiefs. That's now the first pick in the 3rd round. Dear GM's, stop doing business with the Chiefs. Overpaying for Ridley, Landry III, and Awuzie didn't help either. He deserved to get the can.

Yup. That's it. Sometimes new head coaches will get the current GM fired though during the off-season (if they're smart). The obvious example is McDermott and Whaley not seeing eye to eye before he was fired and then hiring Beane.

Quietest walk to the car ever. I still have Natron Means nightmares. We had some crazy home playoff winning streak too. Kelly carted off the field. Bad day. On the bright side, Mark Brunell was much more experienced than Bo Nix.

No clue but half of the weekly Bills party we have was spent trying to explain to the casuals why both teams wanted to lose. We do jello shots every time the Bills score usually but on Sunday even we just did it every time either team scored.

I didn't want to even bring that up but since you did that was my immediate thought listening to McDermott. I don't know if it was a physical or mental health thing with him or someone close to him. A football game with a bunch of kids (in a lot of our eyes) isn't that important. Plus, you can get great value on the Denver point spread right now.

If someone that close to him died I don't think McDermott would say "I hope so." Seems insensitive IMO. Oh darn. I'm casting aspersions.

Rest him. Make sure he's 100% for mini camp next season.

Nobody freak out about Cooper until Wednesday if he's not there. Promise?

Anybody know what time the Bengals and Dolphins play next week?

It was a really weird game to watch because both teams deep down knew it was beneficial to lose. If the goal was to get players their incentives, not get anyone injured, and lose to knock the Pats out of the one spot mission accomplished. Dolphins and Bengals getting eliminated was the icing on the cake.

Out of all the crazy stats this year the most impressive imo is forcing the third most turnovers (32) and turning the ball over the least (only 8). A turnover differential of plus 24 is crazy and is best in the league by eight. That's coaching and making a concerted effort on offense to draft players/sign free agents that aren't loose with the football. Plus, Josh Allen not throwing into triple coverage in the end zone helps too.

A little but the Chiefs let go of Hill while he was still in his prime and got much better compensation. My feelings about Diggs the person will always be mixed but I do know he hasn't had any of the legal problems Hill's had.

People praise the Chiefs for trading Hill when they did and deservedly so. They knew the person he was though and knew it couldn't continue. I wouldn't touch this guy with a ten foot pole.

Tua's a system QB who's strengths are best for that offense and they gave him the bag. They're pot committed for another year with both.

They've been preparing for them the last week so that should help.

It's about 1.5 nowadays. Maybe 2 points at Buffalo.

I could nap during an alien invasion.

Still have their starters in up 31-9 with three minutes left?

I don't see that. They're way better than they were in 2022. Especially on defense. I think they just caught a hungrier and more focused team.

By winning 14 games. They might have been reading their own press clippings this week though.
