Lamar could lose votes to Henry similar to what happened to CMac and Purdy last season. Considering most preseason writers felt this was going to be an off year Allen might get a serious shot if we get a top 2 seed in Conference and McDermott might be in COY discussion along with Dan Campbell and Kevin O'Connell.

Purdy also had that 5 INT game against the Ravens which completely killed any MVP chance he had, and that’s the game that vaulted Lamar to the front runner position.  There’s still a lot of season left for Lamar to have a huge clunker or two, and someone else like Josh to take the lead.

Unless things really change, Josh doesn't have a realistic chance.

 

Lamar is playing lights out and running away with it. The antithesis of last year.

 

Lamar/Baltimore would need to hit the skids and Josh would have to crank up the production. I just don't see it.

Two things

If Josh really cares about the regular season MVP then he needs to play big against the big boys in the next four weeks

If Josh cares about winning the SB, he really cares about the 1 showing up on the Win column

[GoBillsForeverAndAlways]

I could definitely see Josh getting it this year. I think the next 4 games will be very telling, let's see what happens. Could definitely happen!

[zow2]

I wouldn’t rule out Mahomes. He’s been more productive lately and if he puts up numbers vs Bills and down the stretch, gets the #1 seed, i can see them awarding him.

These things don’t have to be mutually exclusive

I’m sorry but you don’t win an MVP when you aren’t even leading your division 

 

Lamar is no longer leading the vote now 

[DapperCam]

Lions did everything they could to padd Goff's stats today. Jeez Louise. Any sane team would have sat him halfway through the third.

Correct. 
Of course it depends on how you define MVP, but how do you not consider Daniels in the conversation. He’s completely turned that franchise around. 

[zevo]

Josh should be the leader in the clubhouse after that win

[ghostwriter]

Josh Allen has willed this team to a 9-2 record.

He will be without a doubt now. His to lose at this time. 

[Process]

After the int in the first half it wasn't looking good for Josh's MVP run. 

 

The play at the end changes everything.

 

That was his MVP moment.

Absolutely.  I think to this point Daniels IS the MVP, that team was hot garbage without him and a legit contender with it, but he’ll win OROY and not get the MVP this year.  The media loves Lamar, so any excuse for him to be in the race on the back side of this year will be used.  Mahomes numbers say he doesn’t really have a case, but the record is there and Josh is back to throwing picks, so he’s probably going to have that thrown in his face.    If the Bills some how pull the 1 seed, it will give JA a shot.  Otherwise, I’m assuming KC will get it and in that case, gotta think Mahomes gets MVP, he’s working with very little and still winning, even if the numbers are pedestrian.   Goff should be in the mix, but I don’t know if anyone really believes the success is not in spite of him and actually because of him.

Allen is playing too good for Lamar not to get MVP #3.

 

In all seriousness, Lamar is having an outstanding season. I don’t think Allen has much of a shot.

His name is Jackson. Why does he get first name status? That is bs.

Even Mahomes doesn't get that. 

Jackson is a good player, but he ain't no Lebron. 

[Reks Ryan]

4th down run with the whole country watching.

 

That was Allen’s Heisman Moment. He’s  winning MVP

Why do people even care about the MVP. If you don't win a Super Bowl it is just a consolation prize.

While I agree, I also think it's a nice accolade to have, even though other skill groups get screwed sometimes. 

[Governor]

Right now Goff is out in front so we need to beat them.

Because I may or may not have a bet on Allen winning it
