Without question...this bleeds into my earlier point re his fantastic ToTD/ToTO ratio this year. He's doing so many MVP things, all in the absence of an MVP caliber line (to say the least).

Agree. Give him roughly same # attempts as Zeke, Chub, Mixon...and we're all talking about a Top 5 back, ypg. That's about 5-6 more attempts/g. I'm NOT suggesting team go this route, but simply adding perspective to the discussion. This is to say nothing of his PB excellence (imv)...or relatively poor reception skills. Bottom line: send him to the RB equivalent of TE U and Bills may really have something.

Agree all but just to add: he's the least sacked in the league, period.

The crazy thing is Bills are #1 in the league for Sacks Allowed (8)! It's just ridiculous what this guy is doing: great numbers, burden carrying...and bailing out his line all at once.

Hah, Peyton just invoked the "matriculate down the field" quip. Must be following @oldmanfan

Don't know about the game: I'm just waiting for the 3rd Q shenanigans.

As this thread leans to the offensive side, I'll add: Bills need to enact the Tasker Law, and pull McKitrick from returns to fully focus on offensive duties. Perhaps this is a controversial point. But...it seems the O is lacking that extra 5-10 percent "pop" that moves one from very, very good to Lombardi Land. Would IM jets, chunk yd plays (or threats thereof) be the answer? Not entirely sold, but think it's worth a shot. Hell, maybe they're saving such a change for January.

I really respect Brady. There, I said it. Can't say anything bad about his body of work; speaks for itself. But, and for the first time, he actually looked old last night at T-2min. Bucs I consider a serious threat, but not one to fear per se.

Diggs telling JA he's not in MVP consideration:

Thx for this. Very interesting. Some here seem to believe this type of break is dynamic. However, this presentation--when you put it in plain English--indicates a certain percent are indeed overuse injuries (my word, not in the document). Request to @BuffaninSarasota: this is a great resource. With any high profile injuries in future, please post similar presentation. Thanks again.

All I can say: The Jamie Lee Curtis intro was history's most cringe worthy lead into a game. Frankly, I was surprised she could read her lines with Jerry's d**k in her mouth.

Real world? Gotta be at least top 3, and I don't mean just statistically (he's #2 in made percentage). Folk, Tucker? I also like Koo....if one can actually be a fan of a kicker. I know it's been said many times, but what a great freaking pick by McB.

Literally first response in that thread: "Who ****ing cares, we deserve it." Very funny.

Remember when the "stat" was rolled out? Highest single game QBR: Charlie Batch's 2-pick, 180+ yd game in 2010. Not kidding. There's an article but I don't feel like looking it up bc it's so egregious. The guy on TBL last wk, talking about new QB metric, seems much more accurate (vid was posted but can't find). Esp welcome bc, as I recall, JA was top/top 3(?) this year.

Fair pointo, but I'd let it slide. Not too egregious in context. If, however, he ever uses the "feed me" or the "shoosh" gestures--popular, but I personally hate them--then I am done, DONE w JA17. /mostly s

Still, don't those brass ones get kinda heavy?😎

Winner👆

Serious question, as I don't bet (anymore): what was your anxiety level giving 14? I ask b/c my nerves would overcome game enjoyment on a bet like that.

Umm, "click-click" (I copy). And I figure we'd all agree. But, I wasn't advocating one over the other. Reg season/SB MVPs not mutually exclusive!

I should've been more clear...I mean I couldn't have imagined this, in light of the QB play in the drought years. His high level performance is now "normalized" in my brain.

I'll eschew MVP comments for moment (too early). But: QB TTD-TO ratios are, generally speaking, way underrated; imo, due to fantasy dominance/interest. Now, look at JA: 20/4. Per statsmuse, 0.57/game this year; rookie year 1.17, last year 1.0. And, btw, only 8 sacks, behind an avg at best OL. Bottom line: this is ridiculous improvement AND top tier performance. Esp in light of his offensive burden, and the supposed last knock on him (ball security). I would never have imagined this 5 yrs ago. I don't know about MVP this minute, but he'll win multiple SBs/MVPs during his career.

Has the a** kicking begun yet?

Fyi: I'm 10 pages behind b/c I'm on this damn zoom call (I know you were all worried about me).

Someone just scheduled me for zoom call at 3p. WTFO??
