And that exhibit of Lamar is your MVP….

[BuffaloBlitz83]

10 points vs Texans. 1-4 in playoffs…..

[Mace]

I'll be happier if it's 1-5.

[Novacane]

Don't jinx it damn you!

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Don't jinx it damn you!

Last 2 passes should have been picked smh

[Novacane]

His running is killer though. I don't know why the Texans don't spy him on every back up.

[Mike13]

Waaaaaay too early in the game for that.

[Novacane]

Game over! One half does not make a game! :negrep:

[Buffalogic]

Game is boring. Both teams are unimpressive.

Game is boring. Both teams are unimpressive.

Huh? In the first half I agree but the Ravens did whatever they wanted to in the 2nd.

[imbondz]

That’s Lamar’s first playoff win?

[Mad Max]

That’s Lamar’s first playoff win?
Second

[johndhall1]

And his last one this year.

[Historian]

Man, that one play, where everyone blocked right, and he just cut left and gained 30-some yards convinced me.

He made it look so simple.

Just because we love our QB doesn't mean Lamar isn't great too. This was a silly thread. And a jinx :mad:

I question his pass ability. Still do.

[BillsOwnAll]

If Allen has the same exact game as Lamar, same results.

Some will say he sucks on this board still.

It’s just the nature of being a fan. You have to develop an irrational level of dislike, bordering on hatred, for those players/teams/coaches that aren’t your guy.

I could not care less who wins NFL MVP. Winning a MVP and Super Bowl in the same season is the ANOMALY.

Patrick Mahomes doing so last year was the first time in it's happened THIS CENTURY....23 years.

I did research back in late 2022 and posted this thread....Here's Hoping Josh Allen Does NOT Win MVP for 2022 (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261912-Here%E2%80%99s-Hoping-Josh-Allen-Does-NOT-Win-MVP-for-2022?highlight=)

The facts are eye opening....


Yes, certainly winning MVP is a huge personal honor.

But, the likelihood of winning a Super Bowl the same year as winning the MVP is surprisingly bad.

I was thinking about Aaron Rodgers winning the MVP two years in a row, despite the fact that the Packers did not even get to the SB during those years, with last year a one-and-out debacle.

So....I did a little research. The results are pretty eye opening....


List of MVP’s that played in Super Bowl....

2017 – Tom Brady – Lost SB
2016 – Matt Ryan – Lost SB
2015 – Cam Newton – Lost SB
2013 – Peyton Manning – Lost SB
2009 – Peyton Manning – Lost SB
2007 – Tom Brady – Lost SB
2005 – Shaun Alexander – Lost SB
2002 – Rich Gannon – Lost SB
2001 – Kurt Warner – Lost SB

1999 – Kurt Warner – WON SB
1998 – Terrell Davis – WON SB
1997 – Brett Farve (co-MVP w/ Barry Sanders) – Lost SB
1996 – Brett Farve – WON SB
1994 – Steve Young – WON SB
1993 – Emmitt Smith – WON SB
1991 – Thurmon Thomas – Lost SB
1989 – Joe Montana – WON SB
1988 – Boomer Esiason – Lost SB
1987 – John Elway – Lost SB
1986 – Lawrence Taylor – WON SB
1984 – Dan Marino – Lost SB
1983 – Joe Theismann – Lost SB
1982 – Mark Moseley – WON SB
1981 – Ken Anderson – Lost SB
1978 – Terry Bradshaw – WON SB
1972 – Larry Brown – Lost SB
1968 – Earl Morrall – Lost SB
1966 – Bart Starr – WON SB


28 times MVP played in SB
10 times MVP WON SB
18 times MVP Lost SB

55 SB’s – 18% won MVP and SB
55 SB’s – 33% win MVP and Lost SB
55 SB’s – 51% (28) of MVP's played in game
55 SB’s – 49% (27) of MVP's did NOT even get to SB.


The last time a player won the MVP and WON the SB was 23 years ago.....literally LAST CENTURY.

I’d rather (and I suspect every Bills player including Josh Allen) would rather have the Lombardi Trophy over the MVP.

It will be very interesting to see if the very unusual happens and the MVP winner also wins the SB in the same season two years in a row. That has happened only twice in the 57 year Super Bowl era.

1999 – Kurt Warner – WON SB
1998 – Terrell Davis – WON SB

and

1994 – Steve Young – WON SB
1993 – Emmitt Smith – WON SB
