No kidding. In a vacuum, a single PFF grade vs. a single coaches grade doesn't prove much, which is pretty plainly all I'm suggesting. In a later post in this thread, I largely agree with what you posted. Meanwhile, PFF grades are "molded by the NFL" as our old friend Matthew Coller tweeted (I'll reiterate for the third time, I do not necessarily wholeheartedly endorse PFF):

It's already been pointed out in this thread, but NFL teams pay for and utilize PFF analysis. Many, if not most, NFL teams also employ their own analysts that compile and review similar data. I don't wholeheartedly endorse PFF by any means, but the type of analysis they provide should be weighted appropriately in concert with more traditional coaching and scouting analysis. Any kind of data analytics is only a piece of the puzzle. Even PFF supports this notion.

The Chiefs' injury list is pretty long, but most are practicing fully. Sneed being limited is something to keep an on:

Schatz, in particular, has staunchly defended Allen, going so far as to publish an article articulating his stance that Josh should be the QB selection for the All-Pro team. It's interesting to watch as it unfolds, and refreshing that so many analysts who held such firm opinions have been willing to reevaluate their stance and pivot to try and understand what makes Allen different (outlier or not).

Not PFF specific, but it seemed almost the entire analytics crowd hated Josh Allen when he was coming out of college. Now, by large, the analytics community is constantly defending him whereas most of the criticism he receives comes almost exclusively from former players and talking heads--- typically, the least informed sports commentators wrt anything but the most casual biased stereotypes.

I've seen him in a different setting where he isn't "in character" and he appears to be an intelligent, well spoken guy. It's easy to see how he was able to work his way up through the ranks as a sports talker. Unfortunately, like all News and Sports TV, now that he's risen to his current station, he's got to put on a show and act the fool. I'm 100% certain that deep down, he respects the hell out of Josh Allen and the Bills (just like Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, et al do.), but he'll never admit it and ultimately, who cares either way.

PFF loves Josh Allen, FWIW. Not to defend PFF, but "literally putting a coaches grade next to a PFF grade" doesn't really prove much considering how many meatheads are coaching in the NFL. Coaches are constantly wrong when evaluating talent and situation.

I was obviously referring to your clear implication.

Continue sitting on the couch out of spite or get an NFL paycheck? Hmmm, tough call.

I like how he says "told y'all". None of his tweets have any engagement whatsoever: no comments, no retweets, no likes--- who the hell is he tweeting at??? Gaze into the abyss...

Agreed. I have no problem with Murray. He plays limited snaps and is a complementary player for the most part on the field and appears to be a leader in the lockerroom. The combination of Cook, Murray and Ty Johnson has been successful all year. Fournette filled in okay when needed, and now they need to move on due to injuries. Maybe he'll be re-signed, maybe not--- but this doesn't really move the needle as a dramatic development.

Your larger point still stands, their record is unimpressive and the results are the polar opposite of the Bills. Oddly enough, the Bengals and Jaguars both beat Buffalo. If the Bills win those 2, the Bengals and Jags would both be 8-9.

That's incorrect. They beat Miami, Cincinnati and Jacksonville.

This. He cannot make his NFL debut in this spot, especially after missing two whole seasons. There were already questions about his ability to hold due to inexperience. It's a recipe for disaster in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs, for crying out loud!

That's all part of his MO. That way, he's never wrong.

Rasul told Tim Graham after the game he felt like he could play but the team held him out. He also said he's playing against the Chiefs.

I agree with the OP, a fake slide should be a penalty. I'm just not sure why he brought it up now considering Mahomes got away with it way back in Week 1. He should've brought it up then.
