Yeah, people said the same thing going into this season about how tough the schedule would be. Enough.

People around here are clueless and childish. Not all but some. Especially those who only show up after a loss.

Got beat up front. Both lines.

All over the last several pages saying it’s over STFU

Are they targeting Tre?

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field.

I have

My understanding is that Gore has always been considered a good blocker

well stated

Bingo. Our kicker knows the winds at the Ralph. Their's doesn't.

The point is many think Goff is really good, and many think Allen isn't.

Your takes on Mariota and Winston were very good, as was your thoughts on Kaepernick and Taylor. But do your really think anyone on this site thinks Allen can do no wrong? Come on now. I think Allen comes out a bit too psyched up in the beginning of games and I t affects his play early. Something he needs to work on; if I were Daboll I'd go back to the Bill Walsh playbook and script the first 15 plays or so. If it was good enough for Montana it should be good enough for Allen. But you also cannot take away the guts and moxie the kid has shown in some of these fourth quarter efforts. That is a real positive.

If I thought he could stay away from the weed, and actually make it through a season without getting suspended, I'd consider it. But history indicates he can't so I'd look elsewhere.

It really is past time to stop your chilidishness. Have a reasonable conversation for a change.

My high school golf coach always talked about “If I’da’s”. If I’d a done this or that. And that it meant squat. Same with football. Bills are 5-1. They could be 6-0 or 0-6 if they’d a done this or that. But they didn’t.

Show choir and theater dad for years now. Could be worse, could be a marching band dad. The amount of volunteer work done for that is insane.

Good point

This is why I never get all up in arms like so many do when the schedule is announced. First, it's not like yoo can change it. Second, every year some teams thought to be good implode and vice versa. How many folks around here were bemoaning the difficulty of our schedule before the season, especially the back half?

My way of saying what the article says is that young QBs have to get the game to slow down. And it won't happen until they have to make decisions.

Needs to put a little more air under the ball on the deep throws. His current WRs aren't as fast as Foster was last year.

The '85 Bears, the Ravens of the Lewis/Reed era, and the Steel curtain defenses are the benchmarks. We'll see how they compare at the end of the season. The '65 Bills too.

My guess is that teams buy it because it saves them money over hiring a group of interns to break down film all the time. It would be interesting to know what they actually take from the data. From perusing some Google documents about PFF it seems their player grades are targeted more at fantasy football fans who think it offers them some advantage. On the other hand it seems guys like Belichick don't place much stock in their grades since the pff personnel have no idea about play calls, responsibilities of players of a given call, etc.

How about specifics? Do you think teams actually use their grades on a player in a given game to base decisions on, for example, who to start and who to sit? Who to draft? Who to trade for? What data do they actually use from PFF? How do you answer the criticisms of their data, in that the grades they give players are complicated by not knowing the play call, not knowing the assignment, and such? Other wise, your statement that "they're good at what they do" comes across simply as you slavishly upholding another media-related site as faultless.

You keep asking why teams buy their product. Perhaps you could give us an answer?

They buy for the amount of film, not their ratings.
