Josh Allen, that's why. Yes it was a retooling year for the Bills, but they still had #17.

 

When it became clear that Minnesota would start the season with Sam Darnold most people assumed they'd be looking at a losing record - maybe even a five or six win season.  That's why O'Connell will run away with the award although I agree that McDermott deserves some consideration.

Most of the talking heads said the Bills were a 9-8, 8-9 team with their veterans losses and would miss the playoffs.
 

McD has done a great job and deserves the COY.

Individual awards are dumb, over time, the media makes up the rules...for coach of year it is "who did the most above what was expected" or a team that has not had good success in a long time.  Once you are entrenched with a coach who wins every year they have no shot.  For MVP it is typically the QB with the best stats on the team with the best record.  Pro Bowl is random BS.  All Pro has some meaning.   My advice is dont spend any brain energy worrying bout nonsense like this.

It's probably the same reason Josh never wins MVP . This is Buffalo Bills football & the only way this team will ever get any respect is to win it all and even then there will be some reason the Bills don't get all the respect they deserve .

 

It also is like those fans here that call for him to be fired, they are fans & don't have a clue how hard it is to be consistent enough to go to the play offs every year with a different cast of players and even with the amount of success he has had since he got here they still want him fired makes NO sense at all ...

 

GO BILLS !!

If I had a vote it would be between O'Connell of Minnesota and Gannon of Arizona who is another guy I think has done a tremendous job.
