Episode notes
Josh Allen Is Buffalo’s Everything
- Colin Cowherd argues Josh Allen is the game's most valuable player because Buffalo is overwhelmingly dependent on him to win.
- The Bills' offense derives roughly 76% of its touchdowns from Allen, making the team quarterback-centric in ways other contenders are not.
Team Depth Trumps Single-Star Reliance
- Cowherd contrasts teams like Kansas City, Baltimore, and Philadelphia that win with depth and systems versus Buffalo's reliance on a transcendent QB.
- He uses historical examples to show other franchises won before their current stars, while Buffalo only improved markedly with Allen.
Pittsburgh Shrinks Offensive Talent
- Cowherd identifies a persistent offensive collapse in Pittsburgh: talent leaves and flourishes elsewhere while players shrink in Pittsburgh's system.
- He frames the Steelers as a structural problem rather than a personnel or single-quarterback issue.
