Congrats to Josh! It's not the MVP, but it's pretty cool that both his on the field & off the field work is being recognized as best in league.

 

"Allen ends 2024 on a crash course to what could be his first league MVP award. At the time of publishing, Allen is first in Expected Points Added (EPA) per play, and second in a composite of Expected Points Added per play and Completion Percentage Over Expectation (EPA+CPOE), a metric that measures quarterback skill beyond typical box score statistics. After the Bills shed some of their most tenured players like wide receiver Stefon Diggs and safety Jordan Poyer this offseason, the team was expected to regress. Instead, the team is off to a 10–3 start, with a firm stranglehold on the AFC East. 

 

Allen’s fourth-and-2 game-winning touchdown run against the rival Kansas City Chiefs from 26 yards out is on a short list of the year’s best and most critical plays.  But what pushed Allen over the edge for NFL Player of the Year is his relationship with the community of Buffalo and, in particular, the Children’s Hospital where Allen is a regular visitor, fundraiser and cheerleader. He is in the hospital at least a few times per season.  "

Fly high, free bird!

That’s great.  Now, how about a trifecta with the MVP, and then the ultimate, a ring.

too bad Sports Illustrated is a joke now.  did the A.I. pick Josh for player of the year?  Josh has bigger fish to fry.

This guy is having a YEAR. Get that cherry on top

Josh Allen... extend his contract again, now.

 

Here's to hoping Hailee doesn't lure him out of town. That is a worry in the back of my mind.

 

For your reference: "Josh Allen signed a $258M, six year extension with the Bills on August 6, 2021"

Hailee ain’t no Rachel Bush.  In fact, I give Hailee at least some of the credit for Josh having his clearest mind ever now!

'firm stranglehold' as opposed to a soft one I suppose

My read is Josh is sincerely loyal, he stayed an extra year at WYoming because he told the coach he would and then he was projected to potentially be the top pick in the draft, he still stayed.

[Big Turk]

There was an article that talked about Goff's futile bid to overtake Allen as MVP and it said to ignore the EPA+CPOE because Allen's EPA per play edge is so large he has been 20% more effective per play on average than the 2nd best QB Lamar.

Time magazine is the exact same... desperate for relevancy in a social media landscape.

Throw in Super Bowl MVP for good measure.

either way..it was a great well written article

[Kelly to Allen]

Doesn't this kinda forecast that the writers have pretty much already decided Allen is MVP?
