Boomer Esiason won it with 19 turnovers. But he had 1 whole extra win (12 instead of 11).

I am shocked at this list. I too thought it was old school beat guys. This is a list of talking heads. The types we throw into the talking heads thread because they’re practically useless in analysis.

There was, but you’re incapable of admitting it, so we all moved on. Its like trying to convince the mother-in-law she puts too much celery in the macaroni salad. It’s a losing battle.

Which one. The original, or the one you changed to “pretty good” stats? Actually nevermind. I’m going to bed.

The point was that you know the ins and outs of the Bills games because you watched them. If you watch every NFL game you begin to see that even the blowouts, many of them are closer than the score appears. You don’t see them all, so you don’t see the flaws that the victor had in the game. But you intimately remember the Bills flaws in their TD+ victories, because you watched them all. So Lamar certainly didn’t win because of his record against playoff teams (Allen had a better record). And I don’t know how it could be about his margin of victory, because Allen had a 13 point MOV against playoff teams (even though you want to discredit some). And it can’t be about TD’s - because Allen had more of those. And they both won 6 of their last 7 games. But Lamar did have the #1 seed. So there is that. Congratulations Lamar - you had less TD’s and a worse record against playoff teams … but you got the #1 seed, so here’s your MVP. Hip hip hooray. Im going to bed.

No, earlier you said “great” stats. You’ve downgraded that to “pretty good” - right move - because Lamar’s stats certainly weren’t great. Tannehill in 2021 was on the Titans #1 seeded team had a 106 passer rating with 3700 yards and 28 TD’s. Again, zero MVP votes. In fact, Lamar’s stats may be the worst for an MVP winner in a decade or more.

That’s closer to accurate. “Pretty good” Definitely not great. So the path to MVP is have “pretty good” stats and be on the #1 seeded team.

It’s almost like games are more than the scores, huh? You point out the Bills needing a punt return TD against Miami but don’t mention how Baltimore blew out Cleveland the first game because Dorian Thompson-Robinson (a 3rd stringer) was their starting QB.

You missed the point. I was pointing out that Lamar’s stats weren’t great. They were Jared Goff 2022 level.

Not sure what you didn’t understand. The Bills had 5 wins against playoff teams. 4 of those came by a TD or more.

To put what you’re calling a great year into perspective, in 2022 a player had nearly identical stats to Lamar’s 2023 campaign. 99 passer rating, 31 TD, 7 INT’s. His name was Jared Goff and he didn’t receive even a single MVP vote. Not even a second or third plate vote.

4 of the Bills 5 wins against playoff teams were by a TD or more. Hardly an eeking, and I think i’m one of the last posters anyone on this forum would label a homer.

I guess that’s what it comes down to now. QB of the 1 seed… MVP. Which (checks notes), would make Tannehill the MVP a couple years ago.

Well it certainly wasn’t because of his record against playoff teams (Allen had a better record). And I don’t know how it could be about his margin of victory, because Allen had a 13 point MOV against playoff teams. And it can’t be about TD’s - because Allen had more of those. And they both won 6 of their last 7 games.

Allen’s 5-1 record against playoff teams came with average margin of victory of 13 points. There is no way around it. Lamar was no more the MVP than Allen.

Diggs answer in todays interview was significantly better. Perhaps someone talked to him and coached him on what to say.

Allen was 5-1 against playoff teams. Lamar was 6-3.

Narratives swing SO easily. - If he wins on Sunday, the "GOAT" talk will spring up. - But if he loses, that means he will have as lost as many Super Bowls as he has won and the GOAT talk will be down to it's embers. Just FYI for everyone, Mahomes stats in the Super Bowl is 5 TD's, 4 INT's and 3 Fumbles. At the same age, Brady's stats in the Super Bowl was 6 TD's, 1 INT, 1 Fumble.

First SB Win: 59%, 145 yards, 1 TD Third SB Win: 69%, 236 yards, 2 TD, 1 Fumble Sixth SB Win: 60%, 262 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 Fumble Id say Belichick carried Brady for 3 SB’s and Brady carried Belichick for 3. It was a good partnership.

If I recall correctly, I believe he is 4-6 against Belichick.

Psychosis is right lol. He has been spamming this thread and tagging me and quoting me and reacting me for literally the past 5 hours. And here’s the thing - I haven’t responded to a single one of his rants. So he’s just been talking to himself for hours 🤷🏻‍♂️.

So… you agree with us. What a waste of time this conversation was 😂

If you mean it’s a nothing burger because he won’t cause any trouble - totally agree. But he certainly said wha the said on purpose. And he said it for a reason. Ignoring that is just silly imo. Speaking for myself, I have no axe to grind. I love Diggs. Got some Diggs paraphernalia to sell? I’ll buy it! I’m a big Diggs fan. But i’m not blinded by my love for him to not see the obvious. .

Ask Josh Allen that same question and no version of “I don’t know” or money stuff comes out of his mouth. Zero. Zip. Nada It would simply be “Absolutely and I can’t wait”, or some version of that. And no it wasn’t a standard, nothing, Belichick type answer. Do you know what Belichick said just 3 days before he was fired? He said he plans to be the coach the next year. Because THAT is the type of answer you’re supposed to give.
