I mean, it's most valuable player. How can that not be Josh if we only have one other pro-bowler on the original ballot, no other any team all-pros, and a coach who's not even in coach of the year discussions?
We're tied for the 3rd best team in football in point differential, which is generally accepted to be a decent proxy for team performance, and would have been 2nd if we gave the slightest of shits about the 17th game. We were 4th in DVOA, one of the best advanced metrics, 4th in FPI (3rd offensively) and essentially finished 2 games ahead of Baltimore.
What are we just doing it all with voodoo and smoke and mirrors or something? It's ridiculous how little respect this team is getting. Both ESPN and NFL.com have analysts predicting a Denver win. The most likely upset in the AFC in the 1st round is Baltimore, because they're missing their #1 WR, divisional opponent, and their offense's history in the playoffs. And God I hope it happens at this point.
