I don't get the talk that Josh Allen sealed the deal with MVP last night like he's the run away winner. I wouldn't even have him as the winner much less the run way winner.

 

It's reductive, but it comes mostly down to two things 1) People feel like Allen has done it with less talent and 2) wins and losses.  There hasn't been an MVP winner from a 5 loss team since 2016.  If the Ravens lose again, there hasn't ever been a QB who has won MVP from a team with 6 losses or more.

And then I'm sure the fact that Lamar has 2 MVP's and Allen has 0 factors in as well.  If it's close, people are going to give it to Allen.

But I would agree, the fact that Allen is -900 and Lamar is +750 with 3 games to go is kind of crazy.  If there were 1 game to go, I would agree with those odds.  With 3 left, there's enough randomness left to potentially flip it.

I know it's not the "Best Player of the Year" award, but Joe Burrow is better than either of them

Only if you ignore the fact that Lamar and Allen provide value while running the ball.

Lamar has a better QB rating, QBR, fewer picks, more total yards (pass and rush) and 1 more TD. Burrow with a narrow lead in comp%. Burrow is better than Allen in QB rating, total yards, comp% and has 1 more TD. Allen has a better QBR and fewer picks. Both Lamar and Allen have better yards per attempt and fewer sacks. I’d also argue Allen has the worst weapons around him (no Ja’Marr Chase or Derrick Henry).

Burrow is really good, but if he had the same numbers and the Bengals 9-5 like the Ravens, he’d still be third behind those two guys.

David Montgomery out now too. Damn. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Teams are only 15-12 when their QBs throw for 500, almost added another loss with Goff coming 6 yards short.

Kirk Cousins went an entire half without throwing a pick. He wastes no time in the 2nd half, throwing one on his first attempt. Now at 73 on the season.

I fully expect them to let Darnold go in the offseason, followed by JJ blowing out his other knee and Darnold winning a Super Bowl with his new team.

Ok I'm starting to buy into the KOC thing

In the midst of a playoff run, Cousins has been benched.  Penix gets the start on Sunday.

It’s amazing how poorly this has gone considering the talent on that side of the ball. And this isn’t all on Cousins. Raheem and Zac have made plenty of head scratching decisions.

Falcons expected to cut Kirk Cousins before $10M bonus due

So If i understand THIS correctly the Falcons are about to light $ 65 Million on fire.

[Soul]

Oh man Dell blew his knee in the worst way.

Lamar Jackson currently sitting at 37 passing TDs to 3 INTs.
