00:00Let's talk through some MVP movement here, and I want to start with a little bit of credit

00:05Because DRS you talked about the Josh Allen highs and lows

00:09Yes, we saw the Buffalo Bills get off to a red-hot start people all of a sudden banging the drum

00:16Oh, this is the Buffalo year

00:18but then that tough stretch of schedule came up with the road games in Baltimore Houston and

00:23Against the Jets and you said just wait for a dip now

00:27It didn't dip to 10 to 1 12 to 1 or anything like that

00:31But it dipped a bit

00:32We sit here now heading into week number nine and the six and two bills

00:35Starting quarterback and Josh Allen is once again the favorite for the award and what's not to like about the guy

00:40I mean honestly like we know the immense talent that he has but coming into the season

00:44I found myself going like well if they're gonna have a good season

00:46He is gonna have to be everything for that football team now that it started out fantastic

00:51Yes, they did was like you know what you still have to be able to be able to lead your division

00:55And they're doing that here you still have to be healthy which he is at this point you have to put up good statistics

01:00Which is something Patrick Holmes is winning, but not necessarily doing up until last week

01:03We threw a couple touchdown passes against the Vegas Raiders

01:06So I wanted to buy the dip playing against good teams and also the team is better now like cook is a better running back

01:11Joe this year than he was last year

01:12He looks like he's a top ten back

01:14Maybe even top five at this point the way he's running the football to solid tight ends decent offensive line

01:18Then you add Amari Cooper, which isn't supposed to be nine targets eight catches a buck seventy

01:23but it's that's the guy can go to in one-on-one coverage that can beat his man on a third and seven and free up the

01:29Entire football field and I'll say this and it's been weeks now. I've been saying this I love everything about the Buffalo Bills offense

01:35I think it's perfectly matched here and a legitimate chance at not only the MVP, but when the AFC

01:39I agree with Donnie in regards to him being the front-runner. I mean they have skill players

01:45They're not elite names maybe but they fit and work in their positions respectively. They are solid at wide receiver

01:52They have two great tight ends

01:53The running backs are a three-headed monster would Ray Davis now and Ty Johnson and that they could always have fresh legs in the in

02:01The ballgame at any time Josh Allen's not turning the football over they're getting continuity on the offensive line

02:06What more can you ask for and they're starting to hammer teams down the stretch? That's what I want to see

02:12They dominated Seattle from start to finish. Does it continue today against a divisional opponent?

02:17We'll see in terms of the Miami Dolphins. He's owned Miami

02:21I think when you look at the list though

02:22the biggest standout for me is where can you get value right from the list Kev and

02:28Jerry Goff right now is playing in an MVP level

02:31They get this victory today over Green Bay and Jared Goff even in with a wet track

02:37Complete 70% of his passes doesn't turn the football over at six to one. That's great value

02:43I mean if this team is gonna be 13 and for Jared Goff, I think is deserving up there with Josh Allen

02:49So, I mean look golf is being given plenty respect within the market right at six to one

02:55But we also I think and I'm not that you guys aren't but the whole argument on golf is going to be their record

03:02Right. Yes. No, no one actually here thinks that Jared Goff is as good as Josh Allen. He's gonna get more Jackson

03:09He's gonna get brought 100% right again. Yeah, that that is again

03:13Brock was a win away from winning leagues MVP last year

03:16And so they lost him they gave it to the other quarterback despite him not playing well in the game in Lamar Jackson

03:22Which is the point I want to make on Josh and again right now. He's in a great spot

03:27But also

03:28You would really struggle to argue that he is played better or been more valuable than Lamar Jackson this season Lamar

03:35First of all the whole bag on Lamar, right?

03:37Ah the ground the ground Lamar's as a passer right better than Josh Allen. They see more yards more touchdowns

03:43I mean he has been better as a passer. So how did Lamar get jumped? They lost the Cleveland. That's what happened, right?

03:50So my thing with this with this market right as we we sift through this whole thing here, right?

03:57Josh is plus 270 you win the award

04:00how many games within Kansas City do they need to be for him to win the award because the updated win total for the Chiefs is

04:0614 and a half and you guys know that I'm gonna be kicking and screaming and losing my mind if my homes wins league MVP

04:11But it truly now at this point feels that all my homes has to do is win that game against Buffalo coming up in a few

04:19Weeks and he's gonna go to he's gonna go to minus money to win the award playing well or not

04:23No, you're right

04:24I mean the head-to-head does matter and they value the quarterback position in terms of wins and losses

04:29So you're right about Pat my homes. I do feel that if there are other players

04:34Outside of Pat this year, you know, whether it be Jalen or where you know, Jared Goff that you know go on a run

04:40I think in terms of the awards that's where you know

04:43They would be apt to maybe vote for somebody else if Pat doesn't have these dynamic numbers, right?

04:49but you look at Lamar last year it was by default because everybody tailed off because of

04:56Brock Purdy losing that game to the Ravens at the end of the regular season and Lamar having the head to head

05:01Right and how how they lost it's not that he didn't play, you know

05:05Well, but he turned the football over his team lost by double digits and they were five and a half point favorites in that matchup
