There's a lot of receipts being saved about Allen.

James Jones has backed Allen all season but i think I heard him say it's over. There's nothing Allen can do this Sunday..... the MVP belongs to Lamar. At least Acho who is a voter has not said that.

It says in The Buffalo News today that Allen is dealing with right elbow and right shoulder injuries after the Patriots game. This feels like with the weather it's going to be a ground and pound and quick screen passes, type of game.

The Chiefs are better today than they were in September, so that is worrying. Also, they are the only AFC playoff team with that "refuse to lose" mentality. We haven't seen that out of Buffalo or Baltimore in the playoffs in the last 5 years. You know Allen has that mentality, but he cannot control the defensive and special teams sides of the ball. If KC's offense in on the field last, or their defense is on the field last...they Always make the play necessary to win. That obviously has to change.

Bills started pressuring Maye like crazy in the 2nd half last weekend. They need to do that more this Sunday. We can't let any QB just stand there and pick the secondary apart. They cannot hold coverage, not many secondary's can.

The award isn't named the "Lamar Jackson annual MVP award" I do think the voters have Lamar fatigue and they are going in a different direction this season. If Josh does not win it, i believe the award will go to Saquon or Goff... or maybe even Darnold if they earn the 1 seed. He would certainly be deserving with that accomplishment. The voters can point to Baltimore having 5 losses and Derrick Henry having a phenomenal season as reasons to go in a different direction and not be slammed.

RG3 was Lamar’s backup for a season or two. They are pretty tight I think. I just don’t get how Lamar got all the national accolades for scoring 5 TDs vs the Giants. On the same day as Allen defeated the Lions, a much tougher opponent. Those games were not even in stature but they somehow pulled Lamar closer to Allen in the minds of media. Since that day, all the momentum has swung to LJ.

The Bills are getting good experience playing in all types of “our” weather the last three home games. Which you would think would be a playoff advantage for the home games. vs SF cold and snowy entire game vs NE freezing cold near single digits vs NY rain forecasted entire game, 55

This game is a hard watch so far.

I went to a game a few years ago (2021)? We sat in a steady hard cold rain the entire day and the Bills beat Houston like 40-0. Allen passed and ran with ease in the rain, so hopefully that can be replicated.

I do have the feeling something weird will happen to them in round 1. All those close wins and they will be on the receiving end of a heartbreaker.

If Lamar start running in the playoffs,,,and I mean taking off and running whenever the field opens up for him, our defense or any defense is in trouble.

I am obsessed with them wearing only this Blue over white combo for every home game. So it gets to the point where they don’t have to release a post ever again about uniform combo for home games.

The gap between Lamar and Allen isn’t large enough to give Jackson a 3rd MVP over Allen’s zero. Especially if the Bills finish with 2 fewer losses in their meaningful games. Again. Detroit and KC are 0-2 vs Buffalo and 28-1 against everyone else. Argh. i wish i didn’t care this much!

The Ravens have been playing meaningful games for a while now trying to catch and surpass Pittsburgh. Buffalo wrapped up with 5 games remaining and I just don't think the urgency is there. It's very different from last season when the final 6-7 Bills games were played with extreme urgency right until the clock hit 0:00 each game. The season was on the line each week. So Allen racked up great stats until the end of the Miami game and got the 2 seed. I thought after a sloppy Rams game, McDermott and the guys made a concerted effort to get back on track vs Detroit. They did a good job there. I think after a sloppy Pats game, and a very unhappy McDermott, the players will ramp it up this week in the rain. They will play a solid game against the Jets, get a big W, Allen will have some good stats,,,and no one of any importance will play week 18. Will that be enough for the MVP? maybe.

Right before our game last week I checked the mock drafts and they had the Pats taking Travis Hunter at #3. Maye to Hunter could be a pretty solid combo over the next 5 years if that happens.

As my teenage son tells me....the glazing of Lamar is heavy this week.

Lamar and Mahomes are playing w supreme confidence right now. For whatever reason the Bills went through the motions last week on offense. They wanted to keep it vanilla but they also didn’t execute the vanilla well. Id like to see Allen and the O get their mojo back this week. Impose their will. A win and it’s the final dress rehearsal for playoffs.

Bills 34 Jets 17

This is likely the starters final game before playoffs. As others have said, Allen needs to stuff the stat sheet vs the Jets. If he does, he will have a great chance to win MVP. We don’t want to string together 3 and outs during the first Qtr again.

True, and yet somehow Lamar is #1 with a gaudy 121.6 QB rating while Allen is way down at #10 with a 101.2 rating. I don’t know if voters will factor in the crappy late season Orchard Park weather or the Derrick Henry affect on Lamar’s passing numbers

I need at least 2 probably 3 full seasons to come to a conclusion. Worthy has come on lately and Keon had the one splash play vs Detroit but the Bills sort of shut things down vs NE in a weird game.

The Chiefs and Ravens both looked great today. One of them or the Bills are the only AFC team that will end up in New Orleans. National observers probably have Buffalo #3 on that list as of today based on how the Bills looked last Sunday.

The Bills need to be a real stubborn “out” much like Cincinnati was the year they went to the SB. Their D was sticky in coverage, and they were opportunistic with takeaways. the Bills can’t allow teams to just freely roam down the field and “hope” we get a takeaway. Gotta be aggressive. On the offensive side i think the Bills can outscore anyone with Allen leading the charge.

I think last week was the week to take the points (which i did). I believe McD will be super charged for this game. Maybe the final dress rehearsal for the playoffs. I wish it wasn’t going to be rainy, but i think the Bills still will come out and make amends for last week.
