East coast is full of arses for sure, but the vast majority of football fans are player worshiping, particularly QB worshiping, almost gang related religious nutjobs.

I don't really think much different when people here ask stupid questions or day stupid things about RW. It's like politics. 2 + 2 doesn't ACTUALLY = 4 because of whichiver dumb cattle reason. Facts don't matter. Only belief and full on man worship.

Same ish, different gang. Blood in blood out, holmes.

The reality in this league these days is a missed opportunity or 2 in a game and the score can end up being unflattering or way too flattering to your team but games tend to be pretty close so if you want to find an angle that supports your team you can usually find it. Most fans don't want to hear our team stinks, we were lucky to have put points on the board you want to hear the "experts" say we were right there if not for a bad bounce

The only universe where Wentz should be ahead of Wilson in the MVP race is one that gives points for being on the east coast and being in a larger media market. Unfortunately, that appears to be the universe we're in.

Yeah. I always thought the definition of "MVP" was the player that did the most to help his team win. Wilson kind of defines that this season. Hard to win it from far Egypt, though.

The MVP race is not settled in one game, it's over the course of a season.

Wilson and Wentz's stats are very close..........so if Wentz picks right back up where he left off before coming here, and leads his team to the #1 seed? Then yeah, you gotta consider him for MVP.

Personally I think as of now Russell deserves it, he IS our offense right now, to the tune of 80% of it. IMO that's what an MVP is. But that's not how some voters vote, it's more about who's the best player on a great team (best record, top seed, etc).

Exactly. What's the definition of MVP?

East Coast has most the writers that Vote, they still have more media outlets and more touted writers, they are more consolidated in a specific area, we are Seattle the next big center is in California. Really hard to sway things unless the dominance is off the charts. Why Heisman is hard to win on the West Coast also unless your just a full head better then anything East.

2/3rds of the people are on that eastern seaboard. 2/3rds of the food is in the west. Gotta prioritize.

They got kicked around, and lost by 2 touchdowns. Suck it up, buttercup. And their fans at the stadium were obnoxious as always. Loved seeing the angry looks on their faces all night.
