Does everyone saying Lamar should be MVP watch him? He's not bad, but he's had 1 great game against a bad team that nearly won. He had a game against a now 0-6 team his HOF kicker bailed him out against. He's had 2 games where he's had more Turnovers than TDs. And the first time his team dominated another good team this season it was really all about Baltimore's D, not him. And I also have to say that as much as we all want to see Allen fix his fumbling issues, Jackson has much further to go in doing that. So... 2 plays are your entire argument?

Didn't say he was the frontrunner

Carr is having a really good season, not at an MVP level so far. Herbert has been too up and down. I don't agree with your tiers, but I think all 7 of those guys from Allen up on your list are bunched closely together. Allen’s not at the front, but he's still one of the frontrunners. Part of this is also projecting what's coming. We're going from the toughest 2 game stretch (where Allen played fantastic in primetime... even in a loss) to a bye week immediately after a loss (the McDermott Buffalo Bills are 5-0 coming off the bye) with the easiest 4 game stretch on our schedule. Buffalo only has 1 more game against an obvious playoff team. Last night Josh excelled despite playing a defense that was clearly prepared for him, sub par offensive line play and a reversion to pretty much no running game. Is anyone going to bet that he's not going to come out in Orchard Park absolutely on fire against the Dolphins? He already OWNS the Dolphins! Then it's Jags, Jets, Colts before 2 primetime games in a row against the Saints and Patriots. All this is to say that even after an ugly game 1 and shaky game 2, Allen has rounded into his 2020 MVP form and has put himself up in the group of frontrunners. Can't wait to see what comes after the bye.

Loved the idea to go for it. Hated the hesitation and lack of preparation in doing it that gave Tennessee enough time to prepare for it.

Context bruh Call should ALWAYS be in your back pocket without having to call a timeout so that the D doesn't have time to prepare for the play. Are you new being a Bills fan? Those of us who've been around for awhile watched Brady do that to us and everyone else successfully for nearly 20 years

If a 74.5% completion percentage, 375+ yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT is an "off game" for any QB then break out the gold jacket already.

If the defense isn't good enough, don't you go for the Win?

Tonight SUCKED!!! Biggest thing that sucked about it was that 2 things we all probably recently thought we fixed proved they still need plenty of attention: Defense and OL. But even in a loss, Allen was excellent. The interception was partially on him because he should have thrown it earlier or sensed the pressure... but even that might be a little unfair. Overall he came up with clutch play after clutch play. Heck I knew he'd drive the team down the field at the end of the 4th; even though he didn't do that a lot last season (he didn't really have to), he led the league in 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives through his first 2 years. Daboll just made--and yes, hindsight is 20/20--a bad call to end the game. (I also think he stuck with the run game just a little too much... but I understand the reason for it). I loved that playcall by Daboll, but only if he makes sure Allen has it in his back pocket for situations just like that last play. And frankly, that's the last hurdle I believe this team needs to get over... mastering situational football. I've said it several times, but 3rd or 4th and short with a giant QB like Allen should be a no brainer run to the line QB sneak or fake QB sneak. Just freaking do it already! Brady made a career doing that! Regardless, as upset as I am about that loss (and I am!!!), Josh has really come into form after a fairly rough start to the season. Oh... and let’s all just remember the heartbreaking road loss this team suffered right before their bye last season and the thrashing we put on teams after. Yeah... I envision Josh and the team stewing over this loss and coming out angry to finish the season. Lord help you Miami...

Honestly I don't even want to ruin the show. If you don't know anything about it and you like good and really unique storylines and great acting, watch it. The creator/director also did Haunting of Hill House. It's a bit of a slow burn, but it's amazing. Also... plenty of social commentary mixed in there... specifically of a religious nature.

Midnight Mass is spectacular

Sure did! He was great last night! Loved every minute of it!

Sure was annoyed at how desperately he wanted to make excuses for KC while simultaneously avoiding praising Buffalo.

***** you Nick Wright!!! Say what you wanna say cause everyone knows you're just saying outlandish ridiculous shot at this point to get clicks!

Super awesome! Much like Milano... he's one of those late round gems Beane drafted. I'm just so friggin ecstatic at the turnaround for this team over the last few years without high profile trades or free agent signings other than Diggs.

Yes, I understood what he was asking... hence, the accompanying emoji (or whatever that's called)

Don't care how it looks? Fine... I'll be in the minority. I care how this team looks... I think it's important to have a team firing on all cylinders and getting Ws rather than lucking into a W because the ball luckily keeps bouncing their way and the refs keep giving them calls. I'll obviously take the latter... but absolutely prefer the former... and I think some of you who are saying otherwise feel the same way. And if you do.... you care how it looks.

Play great or play below average to horrible? Josh would choose to play great, obviously

I'm sorry, but this team has reached the point where how we look also matters. We care about getting to the Super Bowl and winning it, don't we? If you don't, that's where I am. Anything short of winning the Super Bowl this year will be disappointing to me. Finally, I feel like I can legitimately say that. Of course I'll be happy if we win, no matter what. However, being ecstatic about a win and having viable concerns about your offense are not mutually exclusive. I want Buffalo to be the best team in the NFL and win the whole darn thing. I don't want them to be the Pittsburgh Steelers of last year who won a buncha games despite some serious offensive concerns that were eventually exposed late in the year. Forgive me for dreaming big... but that's what I'm doing.

See... this I disagree with. This is a head vs. heart thing for me: HEAD: We should win this game because we're clearly better in 2 of 3 phases (Defense and Special Teams) and on paper are at least equal on offense. Mainly... we should win because our Defense is Elite. If they play that way this week, our offense doesn't have to be great because this won't be the shootout so many think it will be. HEART: I'm a Bills fan. This is a big game on the national stage. We'll lose.

You're confused. I'm talking more about the national narrative, not my own personal feelings, although I think a lot of what you're saying here is a little simplistic. Allen knows this is a huge game for him in his career and it's about playing well... not just getting the win. And the Buffalo Bills' offense and Josh Allen would like to remind you of how they felt after a 35-0 shutout of Miami... a game where Allen and the offense didn't play very well.

Total and utter rubbish. I'd use an American slang word but it'd just be censored. This is a gigantic game to me on so many levels. If we lose this game, the Chiefs start creeping into that category that the Patriots were in for nearly 2 decades. Buffalo needs this win. And in terms of individual players, I think this is a game Josh needs to play really, really well in. This is the game where if he plays exceptionally well against one of the NFL's best teams on the road in SNF, there can be no doubt among ALL the NFL (not just Bills fans) that he's among the cream of the crop in the NFL at QB for the next decade plus. If he loses and plays poorly... or even if we win and he's meh like he was against Miami, we'll keep hearing some of the doubters (more than just Nick Wright... who just doesn't count considering today he said KC is the best team in the NFL) talking about how "Josh Allen is too inconsistent" or "Josh Allen shrinks on big stages" or... fill in the blank. I want this win so goshdarn bad. And all the quotes from the players and coaches about how this is "just another game" is just plain horsehockey.

He's been the most consistent player on the team through 4 games... I really hope this is just a blip and he's good to go.

I respectfully disagree. I like them both, but Singletary looks like the better back right now. He has better vision and looks more explosive. Yes, I think Moss is the better short yardage back... and I really do think this is close... but Singletary is the one who needs more touches this year. ...and the fact that he's my fantasy RB is completely irrelevant
