  1. I know, he won the last 2, he doesn't care about this award so much as he does about winning the Super Bowl, & MVP of that game.

    A few weeks ago the talking heads were saying it was, the voting, over, that Josh Allen had it wrapped up after his four games and did something no other quarterback had done in the NFL, passing wise, while Lamar was on a bye...

    Especially since his team was now going to win their division and possibly be the 1 seed.

    Welp, after a couple of weeks have now passed, Josh had an off game, Lamar did Lamar things and now, he has his team in position to win their division and have a home playoff game. Meanwhile the Cheifs, not the Bills will be the 1 seed.

    So now that their teams are even, okay, the Bills are 12-3, Ravens 11-5, Lamar holds the tie breaker having out played Josh when their teams met in week 4, Josh throwing for only 180 yards on 16 of 29 passing 0 tds and 0 picks. 21 yards rushing on 5 carries.

    While Lamar had 2 tds on 13 of 18 passing for 156 yards, as the Ravens won 35-10... but I digress

    Their numbers now?

    Allen 3,549 yards passing, 7.8 yards per attempt, 26 tds, 6 picks for 101.2 qb rating with 514 yards rushing and 11 rushing tds

    Lamar 3,955 yards passing, 8.9 yards per pass (leads the league) 39 tds to 4 picks (leads the league) for a league pending 121.6 qbr with 852 yards rushing( leads the league) and 4 rushing tds.

    So any way you look at the numbers Lamar clearly has Josh beat. But the talking heads are looking for any reason to keep Lamar from his three-peat, and I'm okay with that.

  2. Could be papa, but the Pit game may have shown us something. They, Lamar included, just let it all out, played more relaxed, trusted one another more, the result?

    The "ball bounced their way", turnovers were avoided or collected when usually the other team got those breaks.

    Lamar got on point, ran when given the chance, connected when he had or made just enough time.

    If they play that way, and everything we have seen the past number of games shows us they can/will, then I like their chances.

    Shoot, they destroyed Buffalo, one toe away from beating the Cheifs. Should have beaten the Iggles, seem to have learned from their mistakes.

    Didn't play down to the Giants, werent tight against Pit, didn't lean on their big victory over Pit and have a let down against Houston.

    Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket

  3. What worries me most is the defense, the pass defense to be exact.

    They haven't really played a very good offense, pass offense since the "change".

    Granted, a large part of the pass defense issues was against one team, the Bengals, almost 900 yards in one month. (392+428=820) That really skews the numbers.

    So, is it really fixed or has it just been a tale of bad passing offenses?

    Early in the season the ball bounced away from the Ravens, while this last part, wow, the Ravens fumble and recover their own. Their opponents fumble now they recover them.

    Even Tucker is nailing 58 yard field goals with ease, dead center, after not being able to make an extra point.

    It has been a crazy season, so why not us?
