We couldn't stop Gibbs, and they stopped giving him the ball. They finished the year without Montgomery, so it doesn't matter what the run game was predicated on, you're 2 games away from the Super Bowl, your RB is averaging over 7 yards a carry, and you stopped feeding him the rock.

Montgomery had 7 carries in the game. Was he as productive as Gibbs? No, but he had missed the end of the season, as you said, and this was his first game back.

During the season those two averaged 25.6 carries per game. They had 21 carries in this game and were playing from behind for a reasonable amount of time, which I don’t believe was all that common for them during the season, so running it 4.6 fewer times than average doesn’t surprise me since regardless of how well you are running the ball, you are still chewing up more clock that way.

But sure, if someone is averaging 7.5 yards a carry on more than just a couple runs, asking why he didn’t get more is a logical question.

Also their longest fastest TD of the game was a running play.


JD was the MVP in my book too. Most valuable. Did more with less, like you said. JA and LJ played on stacked teams already. Our top non QB rusher had less than 800 yards and just 8 TDs.

Lamar, sure. but Allen? The Bills top receivers this year were Shakir, Coleman, and Kincaid. McLaurin is way ahead of any of those three, and I would take Ertz over Kincaid.

Cook is solid, but he's not that much better than the combined tandem of Ekeler and Robinson.

Unfortunately the NFL MVP goes to the most valuable in the league, not specifically to his team. Also not the “who did more with less” award….

That’s all the talk on the sports shows this morning…

Then they should rename the award. Best player? 100% Jackson. MVP? Allen by a reasonable amount given what he was working with after what they shed in the offseason because of the salary cap and still had a fantastic season. IMO of course…

Well the good news is we are playing the team with by far the worst QB left in the tourney. The bad news is we are playing the team with by far the best RB, OL, and DL in the tourney.

The injury report will be interesting this week. A Hurts who can’t run will be useless.

It’s like the Norris Trophy for best defenseman. It doesn’t go to the best. it goes to the guy who is most flashy and scores the most points. Never to the best defenseman.

NFL MVP is the same. Who is the splashy name who puts up the best stats.
 
Ok, we all know we're witnessing something special in JD. It's unprecedented, we know that. There are a bunch of stats and "firsts" that support how rare this is. GmFB just posted this one, to illustrate that every other (of the four previous) rookie QB to even measure it to the conference championship game, all of them were carried by their defense.

Not Jayden.

He's carrying this team, all season, especially in the playoffs. We all know it. He's the real MVP.

Yeah, that was a great segment. Also, Brandt made the point that the plan in every other case was let the D carry the team, ask the rookie to make a play or two, and then get the hell out of the way. IN JD's case, he's the one carrying the D, they're here because he's brough them.

GMFB has been all in on JD from the jump. Brandt's segment on Friday on Daniels' having the best debut since Jane Austin in 1819 and the guy who invented the bread slicer in 1908 was an all-time classic.

History of bad calls against us. I've seen enough games this year to know how this script goes.

Lattimore 5 feet from Devonta Smith.

"THAT'S HOLDING! 10 YARDS!"

I wonder if they just leave Lattimore on one side of the field like on Sat night. Goff only had 1 target, and no completions to his side. Not sure if that will work against Philly, but could be better than following AJB.

Lattimore has actually been solid in run support (which will matter against Barkley). He had a key tackle in Tampa that forced the 3rd & 1 where they botched the snap count.

I’d def leave Lattimore and Sainistril to their own sides. Take who they get.

AJB is SO strong, but Davanta Smith is no cake walk.

I do like Lattimore’s strength vs AJB, but? Sainistril is SUCH a gamer.

Bigger the stage for Mike S, better the output

We were talking about Lattimore on Sunday. I saw him hit one dude as he was going out of bounds and that was about it. But for a corner that is a great compliment. So yeah, let’s keep them to their sides. But we need to lock down the middle of the field. That is where they kill us.

It will be an absolute treat as a football fan to see if BJ can get CW to play at JD's level. If not, then it reflects on all three of them, Poles, BJ and CW. But more so it reflects on all our guys, AP, DQ, KK and JD himself. I'll take our four guys over anyone else in the NFL right now.
