Punch

No, because it isn't an NFL only award and it often includes off the field factors. These are all the individual NFL players to have won--- the bolded also won AP NFL MVP: • Terry Bradshaw (1979) • Reggie Williams (1987) • Joe Montana (1990) • Tom Brady (2005) • Brett Favre (2007) • Drew Brees (2010) • Peyton Manning (2013) • J.J. Watt (2017) • Tom Brady (2021) • Josh Allen (2024) ???

Wayne Gretzky and Jim Carrey have both mentioned being Bills' fans over the years, which isn't surprising considering they hail from Ontario. I believe Carrey's daughter sang the National Anthem at a Bills game during the drought era.

Now, here's a guy...

Rick James on the sidelines with Leon Spinks in 1979.

Just like Josh Allen's predraft evaluation, the Buffalo Bills success in 2024 does not match the existing priors of the so called expert analysts.

Stephen A.'s job is to take a stance and fight for it tooth and nail. Only a few days ago he was pushing back hard against Cam Newton in defense of Josh Allen vs. Lamar Jackson, with regards to playoff performance. It isn't really a contradiction but more so an exercise in debate team tactics: rather than espousing a heartfelt opinion they're simply dueling devil's advocates, which generates clicks/views and is entertaining to some, but aggravating to most.

I've seen Lamar credited as 3-1 against Allen head to head in the regular season but they're including the 2018 season opener--- incidentally the first game of their NFL careers. Although Josh and Lamar both played in the game, neither started. It was 'QB1' Nathan Peterman vs. 'Elite' Joe Flacco. Lamar is 2-1 in the regular season and it's Josh 1-0 in the playoffs.

It's especially douchey for Coleman to bring it up again after Bills fans donated $7,000 to Alzheimer's research in his mother's name after it was announced she was dying from the disease. He openly broke down on air discussing it.

Maybe relevant, maybe not.

What's particularly obnoxious about it is we only know Allen was vocal about the missed call because Romo mentioned it on the broadcast as he was criticizing the officials. Mahomes is caught on camera being much more demonstrative in working the refs. Having said that, when Allen was asked during the postgame press conference if Ninovich apologized for the missed call he smiled and said he wasn't going to comment on it. That leads me to believe he may have actually apologized (or at least acknowledged) it was a missed call.

No player has ever existed whose been epic enough to match the magnitude of the Super Bowl... until Josh Allen.

Especially considering it was a Week 4 game where the Bills were missing arguably their 3 best defensive players in Milano, Bernard and Taron Johnson plus Shakir was injured in game.

How was it 1st and 10? The Unsportsmanlike call was at the 5, shouldn't it be 1st and goal from the 20?

Unsportsmanlike conduct after two blatantly missed DPIs? BS.

The throw was incredible, Ty's catch and his attempt to stay in bounds was physics defying. Unreal!

It might be "flagrant" by definition, but it wasn't dirty. More Allen's fault than the defender, imho. Prayers up, Ray.

Shakir is so good.

A TD here is effectively ballgame. The Bills are dominating the game, but Denver has had numerous bounces go their way plus the Bills stalling inside the 10 twice. Alot of playoff games go this way, let's get it to the garage, boys.

Even though I'm admittedly a Bills fan, it does feel like the Bills are disproportionately on the end of no calls/bad calls. This is based on casual observation watching games (Bills and non-Bills) and also seeing social media reaction by non-Bills related analysts and commentators.

Most of us in this thread probably grew up in Western NY, that doesn't mean we know how to prevent a snowstorm.
