  1. I'm going to say Arizona. Drake has been a huge disappointment for them and their RB coach is his old coach from Pittsburgh when he was lighting it up.
  2. Star gets most of his hate because of his contract. We definitely miss him and Phillips, those two could at least soak multiple blockers and free our ends up. There's not an OL in the league that's worried about our D-Line.
  3. Don't worry we have the Jets in 2 weeks.
  4. Just got our asses kicked on the National stage.
  5. The correct answer is Bruce. Also a very underwhelming conference.
  6. I've said this before, but the majority of our fanbase cares little about what is deemed quality or accurate reporting. They just want to be told over and over how good the team will be. Anything to the contrary just brings out the vitriol.
  7. This has always been the case around here. Praise for the team will always be regarded higher than anything else.
  8. lol The end of an era. But he's probably only going to win 1 Super Bowl going forward. What a trainwreck.
  9. Running QBs don't last.
  10. What blows my mind about Fitz is how freaking durable the guy is. Even at 37 he looks spry. There's something about his stance in the pocket and the way he distributes his weight that makes him seem invincible back there. In like 15 years of play it took a broken leg to get him off the field, at least that's the only serious injury I can recall.
  11. I'm not saying PFF is infallible, I'm merely trying to explain their methodology -- and I understand that may be nigh impossible to some here. You can't use 3 or 4 stats to discount their conclusions. We already have metrics to compare QB's based on throwing stats like passer rating and QBR. I'll illustrate this one more time using an extreme example, and then I'll bow out to let the PFF bashing party resume. Let's say QB #1 goes 0/20 for 0 yards, 0 TD 0 INT. Every single pass is absolutely perfect - on time, hits each receiver right between the numbers into both hands, but is dropped. 20 dropped passes! QB #2 goes 14/20 for 200 yards, 2 TD 1 INT. Yup, PFF is going to grade QB #1 higher, even though he didn't complete a single pass! He had ZERO yards throwing! Are they nuts?!? Their rationale is, "Look, QB #1 did everything perfectly, get him some receivers that can catch and that line would be 20/20 for 300 yards 3TD 0INT. Again, I'm not saying this is the best way to compare players, but you can't point at stats to claim their method is hogwash because it's really not a results-driven methodology.
  12. Try reading the article. You might learn something.
  13. Excellent article that was pretty insightful. Allen had more positive plays than any other QB last week, but he takes a slight hit for negative plays. “When you look at our data historically, the positively graded throws tend to fluctuate more than the negatives,” Palazzolo said. “It’s somewhat intuitive. A quarterback controls his negatives more than his positives." I thought it was fascinating that Mike McCarthy met with them to go over Rodgers' 5TD 0 INT game and actually came away in agreement with PFF. The day Nick Foles threw for over 400 yards, seven touchdowns and zero interceptions for Kelly’s Eagles, his PFF grade was on par with Allen’s from Sunday. And that was mostly a result of how open the receivers were due to their own talent and Kelly’s scheme. So the team at PFF walked Kelly through their process. Kelly pointed out observations PFF graders made that he and his staff would never look at, but that just meant they did things differently. Once Kelly realized how much they knew and the value of the information they had, he became an investor in the company.
  14. Sure, just get the greatest QB of all time and pair him with the greatest coach of all time. Simple! Gosh, why haven't other teams tried to emulate this?
  15. Very impressed with the kid's composure in a collapsing pocket. He was a cool customer under duress all night.
