Thank you, I didn't know that. I still like Co-MVP. Who do you like and who do you think won? Lamar has the better stats but Josh had less to work with. |
Lamar garnered 30 of the 50 first place votes for first team all-Pro. I think the first team all-Pro QB has won MVP the last 12 times, something like that. Indeed, the MVP odds are now Lamar -300. |

Bo Nix ain't no joke. He got blasted but stood in and tossed a strike. Broncos scratch on first possession

Josh Allen's using his legs. He's a large person 6ā² 5ā³, 237 lbs. He's hard to bring down.

Denver with a good first half, Payton stole a possession with the fake punt even though they didn't score off it.
Still like Buffalo to win, but Denver with a much more respectable effort than the Chargers provided yesterday.

Did anyone on the Billsā staff tell the players they are in the win or go home phase of the season?

The dreaded DOINK to end the first half.

Buffalo only had 3 offensive drives in the first half. That's how Denver is still in this game. |

The Bills usually perform below expectations in the playoffs. This is par for the course. |

| Don't think anybody picked the Broncos to win this game but the way they are playing so far it would not surprise me if they pull off the upset. |

If you can imagine what doink would sound like when the ball hits the goal post that's it. I love that sound. doink If that had been the Chiefs it would have gone through 
Edit: I bought a new flack jacket to ward off the blows I'll receive if the Chiefs lose

They have won 4 years in a row in the Wild Card round. Would still be surprised if they lose this one. The only teams they've lost to since 2020 in the playoffs have been the Chiefs (3 times) and the Bengals (Joe Burrow). I like Bo Nix a lot but I just don't see them winning this one. This has still been an impressive Denver season, especially considering that they are carrying Russell Wilson's massive dead cap hit, and still will be next year as well. |

That kind of dirty hit needs to be an automatic ejection.

That incredible 4th and 1 long TD by Buffalo is going to probably be the decisive blow but I do admire Nix and Denver's grit.
If it does turn out this way, I absolutely will be tuning in when Baltimore travels to Buffalo next week....that will be must see NFL Playoff Football.

Looks like a Jackson-Allen matchup is in the works.

Down by 14, you're getting dominated in time of possession, and you come out running on 1st and 10 and then again on 2nd and 7. Puzzling. |

Aaaaaand this one is over. Buffalo not f'ing around in the 2nd half. The explosive plays that weren't there in the 1st half are now there.
Lamar at Josh next week. Grab your popcorn, folks. |

Smart to snap the ball before they could review that catch.

Not exactly a Sean Payton masterclass in this second half. You have to challenge that if there's even a remote chance that it might get overturned, and from the replay it looked like it may have been, if challenged. Nothing to lose, at that point, down by 21 and they've just hit a big 3rd down play. |

Agreed, what do you have to lose?

Those odds are from before the All Pro votes came out.
CS is right. Lamar is now the favorite.

Next week should be fun. The Bills will be favored. They are at home.
And Allen has sent Lamar home before in the playoffs.
But it ain't 2021 anymore.
