It's especially cool in that I remember one of our players - might have been Hyde - explaining why it was especially difficult for an LB in Milano's role to get that recognition, because they're lumped into a category with a lot of pass-rusher types.

Logic Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I am really glad Milano is getting the recognition he deserves. He's perpetually underrated and underappreciated by non-Bills fans. I bet if you ask the average NFL fan, they've never even heard of him. He's an elite player, and hugely important to the Bills' defensive success. Great (and unexpected) re-signing by Beane. 3 1 Quote

Logic Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Josh Allen would swear up and down if you asked him that he doesn't care about individual accolades like the Pro Bowl and All-Pro votes. But I promise you, he cares, and it's gonna piss him off. What was that he said last year? "WHO THE ***** DID THEY THINK I WAS?!" 1 Quote

You're entirely wrong about which matters more lol. Your 1st sentence says it all. You say it took the national media too long to see this. Like they don't know what they are seeing. Then you perform a 180 and say All-Pro voting by that same media matters more?! How does that even work? As to the bold: In your opinion? Sure. You do realize that's all this is, right?!? Opinions. Which is why I wrote "I'd rather have coaches, players and fans voting". I also stated it was" Way more impressive to me". I try not to act like my posts are 100 percent right, especially when based on opinion. See what I did there? Quote

Milano wasn't even a ProBowler. All-Pro has always mattered more in player circles and HoF voting etc. Your opinion is your opinion. Edited January 13, 2023 by FireChans 1 4 1 Quote

Mr. WEO Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 6 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: Hurts was better than Allen in virtually every statistical category except total passing yards, total TDs, and yards per carry. He had a PHENOMENAL season and was deserving. Allen had a great year too, of course. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm he did have a great season relatively speaking, but Josh also had more YPG passing, more yards rushing (on far fewer carries) for a much better YPC and accounted for 42/50 (84%) of the teams Offensive TDs and for 5045/6361 (79%) of their yards from scrimmage. Hurts was responsible for 35/57 (61%) TDs and 4461/6614 (67%) of yards from scrimmage. Those aren't similar stats. 1 2 1 Quote
BillsPride12 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Nice to see Matty get the recognition. He was the MVP of our Defense this year 1 Quote

We don't talk about it but the Bills got sneaky lucky that he was banged up in 2020 and battling that hamstring. Probably drove down his value a decent bit and he returned to form just after that year. Quote
Zag20 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Don’t bury the lede. These long snapper tally’s might need their own thread. Long Snappers Andrew DePaola, Minnesota, 87 (26); Nick Moore, Baltimore, 29 (8); Luke Rhodes, Indianapolis, 25 (7); Zach Wood, New Orleans, 23 (2); Morgan Cox, Tennessee, 19 (4); Jon Weeks, Houston, 4 (1); Liam McCullough, Atlanta, 3 (1); Trent Sieg, Las Vegas, 3 (1); Josh Harris, Los Angeles Chargers, 3; Rick Lovato, Philadelphia, 2; J.J.

Hurts was responsible for 35/57 (61%) TDs and 4461/6614 (67%) of yards from scrimmage. Those aren't similar stats. Better QB rating. Far fewer turnovers (fewer INTs, fewer fumbles). Better completion pct. Better YPA. These are key categories, particularly YPA. And one of the reasons his ypc was lower is because he had so many touchdowns (touchdown runs lower the yards you would have gained if the EZ line wasn't there). Anyway, as I mention in my thread below, Allen and Hurts were deemed by PFR to tie for the league lead in approximate value. He was entirely deserving. Allen was deserving too, but I have no issue with Hurts getting it given JA's propensity for red zone turnovers this season. It was a problem. 2 1 Quote
