Will be nice to have a stree free game to chill and watch. Because the 1st playoff game is going to be high anxiety.

I’m telling you guys. And you can bookmark this post on page 72 and look at it on the night of February 8th. Our guy, Josh Allen is getting the MVP and the voting won’t be very close. There is nothing Lamar can do to win it this season… or Burrow or Darnold or Saquon or Goff. Lamar already having 2 MVPs and his playoff resume have sunk him for this season. If the Bills don’t make the Super Bowl at least Josh will get this hardware and it will be very meaningful for him, the organization and the City…and his future legacy.

Case in point, when the Ravens lost to Pitt in game #1, Harbaugh was heavily criticized for the game plan running Henry only 13 times while Lamar threw 33 passes. In the 2nd game vs the Steelers, Lamar passed 23 times and Henry ran 24 for 162. I'm not bashing Lamar, I've repeatedly said he's had a great season. But again, Allen is doing more with less, has two marquis wins that no other QB can match.. and the stats are not wide enough of a disparity to give it to the guy with more losses and (which included losses to two crappy teams). I really think all the debate is just bluster and Allen is getting this award. But i guess we still have to hear it debated everywhere for another month or so.

I heard Adam Schein on his Sirius show yesterday. He flat out said he’s voting for Allen and it’s not close.

Hyde has been a "break glass in case of emergency" signing all along. Good for the Bills if the DB's get decimated, good for Micah if he gets a ring out of being in the lockeroom. He had a serious neck injury a couple years ago, they aren't exposing him in a meaningless game.

Yeah, i agree. That's why I've been posting everyday in this thread for 2 months. lol. Allen should be a lock. The man has carried the Bills to a 13-3 record. The same Bills who many people said would be 2nd or 3rd in the division, and would definitely take a step backwards. These other fan bases celebrate 40+ TDs like it's the greatest accomplishment. Allen rolls out of bed and puts up 40 TDs every season. As Mike Greenberg said on his show this morning. Nothing against Lamar or anyone else, it feels like it's Josh Allen's time to win it.

If the D can tread water and get a take away or two, and/or a fourth down stuff or two, I’ll take it. That might mean they give up 21 to 24 points but I’m confident Josh and the offense are gonna go off in the playoffs.

True but I would hope Bills fans would be going equally ballistic if Lamar were the betting favorite now, and we'd be flooding other people timelines.

Shefter has said that from everything he's heard, Barkley will not be exposed in a meaningless week 18 game. They wanted the 2,000 and got it. If they chase the record the Eagles are also exposing their starting Olinemen. Other reporters have said that coach is leaving it up to the players themselves if they want to chase it. I do think if he breaks the rushing record that will get him more votes but not sure how much it will affect the overall voting. Allen sitting in week 18 will be the same as Lamar sitting week 18 last season. It didn't affect the MVP voting at all.

That Denver game will be something. I can see if Wentz and KC go up 7-0 early the Broncos are going to be puckered up for sure. Even if Denver chokes I honestly cannot see Miami losing to the NYJ. I'm assuming Tua would be back this week. Of course I'd rather play Miami at home than Cincinnati, but i hate having to beat the same team 3 times. You just never know. Maybe Miami would ultimately be the better draw than a dangerous Denver team.

If he plays well and beats Detroit for the 1 seed, he certainly should be right there. I personally think the media "anoints" the guys they think should be MVP from the first game. The well known QB producers. Then the betting lines follow. Darnold didn't start getting hype until week 8 or so. If he plays like this next season from the beginning he would be part of that. I said at the time when the Bills clinched with 5 games remaining that it would hurt Allen. To his credit he played monster games at LA and at Detroit. Meanwhile Lamar, Burrow, Darnold, Goff, etc.. are playing meaningful games every week until the seasons end and it shows in the stats. I do think Allen should also get massive credit for clinching that early, and sitting in 4th Qtrs as often as he does. Clearly he's elevated this club to heights no one predicted. Detroit and KC being 0-2 vs Bills and 29-1 vs everyone else is the final thing that swings everything Allen's way. Those are 2 awesome wins and he made amazing plays.

That's fine. I could not care less about a consecutive games streak. Other than a SB the only thing I'm rooting for is for Allen to get MVP.

Chiefs and Lions 0-2 vs Buffalo 28-1 vs everyone else. Still pending tonight’s result. Pretty darn impressive for the Bills.

One drive? he better only do one play.

Watching Detroit and Goff makes me think how opposing fans view Allen and the Bills sometimes. When they are in rhythm, the ball never hits the ground, the RB gets chunks, they are so hard to stop.

This is going to be such a bizarre game. I can guarantee that NE executives and ownership want to lose this game and hold on to that #1 overall pick to use it as they please. Meanwhile the Bills better have Allen and any other important starter in track suits on the sidelines. If they don't they are idiots. To hell with a consecutive games streak no one cares. So it will be the battle of backups and if the Bills lose that will hurt New England.

I watch that show a few days per week. Acho has been very pro-Allen all season. The last couple weeks he's dialed it back because they run an MVP segment everyday and they need good debate. Acho is also very aware what it means historically to award someone 3 MVP's who has not done much in the playoffs. He's not going in that direction.

I'd disagree there. I've seen some competence but nothing special from Drake Maye yet. Granted he's on a lousy team I give him that. But the Commanders didn't come into the season with a bounty of offensive talent, they were a horrendous defense last year too. Daniels has transformed the franchise and he's shown a bunch of "special" this season. I would take him over all the rookies.

Someone can link the segment later, but on First Things First, Broussard broke down the MVP favorites by 4 categories and assigned points to them. He said that's what he does for his NBA MVP vote. Anyway, Josh won with 9 points, Lamar and Saquon each had 7. Regarding historic precedent, I thought it was interesting when he said no one in the NBA who had 2-MVP's ever won a 3rd MVP until his team won a Championship. Nick Wright made a pitch for Darnold as MVP if he wins the #1 seed next weekend. Individual Stats Team Success Supporting Cast Historic Precedent

If Denver blows it, even when the Chiefs are giving them the gift of backups, then i would take Miami over Cinci. It's not only Bills fans that don't want to see Cincinnati, the Chiefs don't want the Bengals hanging around either.

Did you all see the video shot in the Atlanta sports bar last night, when the walk off field goal was short? Pretty funny. All the ATL fans thought it was good and started prematurely celebrating going crazy. The bar set off a big celebration. People online said it was the most Falcons thing ever.

They better be at least 10-0.

That would be my concern, that's why i said it. But let's be real. Daboll went to a lesser roster and no Josh Allen. That would not be the case in Buffalo.

And memo to folks here not to get lost in the sauce this coming weekend. Lamar is going to play vs Cleveland of course and he may account for 5 TD's by halftime and it will be 35-3 Baltimore. Harbaugh will keep him in there the entire 2nd half too. Cleveland is tanking that's why they've been using DTR and not Winston. Jameis might actually outscore someone. The Browns don't want that. Allen had to play right through week 18 last season and Lamar sat out week 18 vs Pittsburgh as did almost all the Ravens starters. Didn't matter. Lamar was still 49-1 in the final vote. The final weekend means much different priorities for different teams and the voters aren't stupid.

Here's the deal. I don't know if Joe Brady is a great leader of men, or a great culture creator. I have no idea. I really appreciate McDermott and what he has meant for the Bills and his record of regular season success with Allen has been awesome. I have never been on that train calling for McD to be let go. BUT, if the Bills lose in the Wild Card round or Divisional I'd shake his hand if I were ownership, thank McD and name Joe Brady as the head coach. Why? because Joe is going to get a head coach job somewhere in the offseason and it might as well be here. He's not only close with the franchise QB, he's been really really good for the entire offense.
