You are absolutely gonna get flamed but you are right, Lamar has a really good case because his year has been insane. It doesn’t matter though. Purdy had an incredible statistical season last year and wasn’t close. And Lamar won’t get 3 MVPs before he’s made a Super Bowl. The money is rightly on Josh.

lol I think Myles Garrett is ABSOLUTELY than Miller, Milano, Douglas, Daquan and Bass. And he may cost us the next Elam or Boogie Basham or Cody Ford??? Perish the thought.

What 5 backs do you have over Cook?

Hey now, that first round pick could be anything. It could even be Myles Garrett!

I have saved this post if the Bengals do get in, and Burrow starts off 14/14.

Trestman called the plays IIRC. No to first time playcallers.

As I said at the time of the extension, I was fine with Brown getting paid as long as they thought he had LT potential. not that I necessarily want him over there either but if Dion departs and we have nothing over there, having Brown over a guy who has no business playing LT is about as good of a succession plan as you can get. The Eagles did that with Peters and Lane Johnson. They gave Johnson big money in part to wait and see what happened with the LT spot. They got lucky that Mailata hit, but they had a backup plan.

If you could get Garrett for our first and a fourth, you would be stupid to not do it. Legitimately. He’s not just a starting DE, he’s a superstar EDGE and he also isn’t in a contract year. If he does ever get moved, it will be closer to the Mack package (2 1sts, a 3rd and a 6th for Mack, a 2nd and a 7th), than a Montez Sweat package (2nd round pick).

60 year old retreads are at an all time low around the league. 10 years ago, Spags would have gotten a shot again. The days of bums like Fisher or Mularkey getting their ninth shot are over.

I’d like to trade for Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but I’m thinking I wouldn’t go higher than a 4th.

If you want continuity, you hire a guy who has failed at HC already. Thats how the Chiefs kept Spags. That’s how the Pats kept McDaniels.

It would start at two 1’s probably.

The Bills need to hire a former failed offensive HC so they don’t have to worry about them getting poached.

You could pay Cook, let Cooper walk, trade for DK and go for it all imo.

Can we put this on my tombstone?

Good post. i didn’t really read it, but i agree.

You can look at the Bills defensive stats per drive and red zone% for answers to all your questions. They are 11th in points allowed but 16th in points per drive. They are also 26th in yards per drive, 24th in plays allowed per drive, and 25th in time allowed per drive. Fifth in starting field position. They are 17th in red zone percentage. They are first in TO% and 23rd in score%. They are 29th in first downs allowed. The numbers are clear. Teams can and do convert on them and drive on them, (not always needing to get to third down, because again, 29th in first downs) but they stiffen up a bit in the RZ to a closer to average defense. Their raw numbers are beneficiaries from taking the ball away the best in the NFL. If they keep up the takeaways like they have been, they are average to below average. If the TOs dry up, they will just be bad. It's very interesting because going back to the last 6 years, the team with the most takeaways in the NFL ranked (in points per drive): 1st 4th 4th 5th 3rd 1st We have to force the most TO's in the NFL to maintain being smack dab league average at that stat.

It's not what the hive mind has convinced themselves of. It's the way it is. It should go to a skill position player because their opportunity for MVP is completely limited. They could just go full hockey and call it "Best QB" and "best skill position player" awards. They don't but that's effectively how it goes and imo it should be that way. I don't think it's appropriate for a QB to win both MVP and OPOY.

OPOY is a skill position award because it’s near impossible for a skill position player to win MVP.

If this team bids against themselves give Mack a contract like this, I will lose my mind.

He is another Ramon Humber. a big slow terrible LB vet. Always gotta have one on the roster.

Lamar has turned into a playoff choker in the Monken era too though.

Probably 5 minutes.

Do you think I would post something inaccurate??????

I know I know, we don't have Andy Reid or Chris Jones or Travis Kelce. But let's look at the similarities: Major questions surrounding QB after trading away their best WR. QB then plays at an MVP level, and arguably the best blend of big play and smart play of their career with a less than star studded supporting cast Questionable defenses Let's look at: Mahomes' 2022 top 6 pass catchers Kelce Juju MVS Mckinnon Watson Gray Josh's 2024 top 6 pass catchers Shakir Coleman Kincaid Hollins Knox Cooper Not too much difference there, outside of Kelce. Now let's compare their numbers and the offenses numbers: 2022 Mahomes 5608 total yards, 45 TD's, 12 INT's, 5 fumbles, 105.2 passer rating, 79 QBR 14-3 record 2024 Allen 4262 total yards, 41 TD's, 6 INT's, 5 fumbles, 101.4 passer rating, 76.7 QBR 13-3 record Obviously yardage is the starkest difference, but the 2024 Bills were much run heavier, with Mahomes passing 165 more times. And they did have Kelce as well, as above. Now let's look at their offenses: 2024 Bills offense 31.8 PPG (2nd in NFL) 5846 yards (9th in NFL) 2022 Chiefs offense 29.2 PPG (1st in NFL) 7032 yards (1st in NFL) This Bills offense, with worse talent IMO put up more points than that SB winning, MVP having team. Yardage again the biggest difference. And now finally, let's look at the defense. There is a lot said about the style of play the Chiefs have now, but their 2022 defense was most certainly not elite. 2022 Chiefs 16th in points 11th in yards 11th in yards per drive 21st in points per drive 2024 Bills 11th in points 20th in yards 26th in yards per drive 16th in points per drive So there you have it. Both teams had offseason departures in talent and honestly questionable regular season defenses, but with their QB's playing at an MVP level, the best year in their careers, they managed to post one of the best records in the conference. Now its time to see if history can repeat itself and Allen can continue his flawless play into the postseason, and the defense can step up when it needs to.
