It pains me to say this, but I think Tyreek Hill should at least be part of the non-QB MVP discussion. With a strong finish to the season, he might end up with 2000+ yards receiving.

If we count any mistake in a loss as being directly responsible for the loss, then yes he is. He also led go-ahead or game-tying scoring drives in the final 2 minutes of 4 out of their 6 losses. As has been the case his entire career, the Bills defense has been awful at preventing last minute scores.
It's funny that if the Bills defense could finish off games Josh Allen's reputation would be completely opposite of what you wrote. Almost every heartbreaking Bills loss in the past 6 years had a final 2 minutes Bills scoring drive to either tie the game or give them the lead. That includes 13 seconds, Hail Murray, the Jefferson miracle catch, and losses this season to the Jets, Pats, Broncos, and Eagles.
There are too many people at ESPN/Disney who don't realize there are actually people out there who enjoy sports. Like, the actual sports games. Not the celebrity hype machine, the social media jarring, or single game parlay bonuses, but the organized competition between two teams wearing different uniforms.
The ManningCast is an interesting novelty when it's 2 brothers who have played a lot of football providing a commentary track for a football game. In the current format, it's the 2 worst talk show hosts of all-time doing a pandemic era Zoom production while a football game is played in the background. It doesn't help that the real MNF broadcast has a duo who have developed into excellent sportscasters. If I have a choice between listening to Peyton and Eli ask Martha Stewart for her favorite turkey roasting tips or listening to Buck and Aikman elevate a November MNF game to the point that I'm convinced it might decide who goes to the Super Bowl, I'm going with Buck and Aikman.
I'm confident they would be favored in any game against a team ranked 10th or worst. Right now they're only 3 point underdogs for their next game, which is against the #3 Chiefs in Kansas City.
