Among other things, that nearly all NFL teams buy PFF data. The reason they do so is that they value it.
Why do you assume that the highly subjective crap they put out for public consumption bear any resemblance to the data products they sell to the NFL or college teams? If I am running a multi billion dollar company and am contracting out analytical analysis to another company I am sure as hell going to require a NDA that keeps the analysis/methods proprietary and define in detail what analysis I need done. The assumption that what they put out for public consumption is the same data products they sell to NFL or major college programs is extremely naive.

I would be curious to see what YouTubes automated closed caption would make of that.

Other people will sit in your former seat inside the new domed stadium, and have dinner at the steak house restaurant before they go home, times change, and we are both likely old, and not likely to go to as many games as youngsters will, demographics rule.
You are dreaming Don. The demographic trends don't support "youngsters" being all that interested. The additional PITA getting in and out is not going to help.
P.S. Yankee games average 42,000 so it is not relevant.

...yup, the good 'ol AFL......our very own Billy Shaw used to take time off from mixing cement to come play for Bfo in the 60's at a whopping 18 grand a year.....LOL....a "post game beer and a butt in front of his locker".....guy mixed cement until 66 so he could retire on FULL Social Security because his NFL pension was so lucrative (COUGH).......thanks Billy..
That was pretty good money back in the day but nothing compared to what they are paid now. It is equivalent to about $150,000 in today's dollars.

Should the new stadium be downtown people will adapt, they always do.
The adaption is called television.

Ok, but we would all die, if there were no bacteria.
Even worse we wouldn't be capable of farting.

Yet the patriots are in the bottom 10 in benificial penalties.
Quite misleading since they are 9th best in net yards (beneficial yards - against yards).

That's an excellent idea. Soccer uses it so why haven't the brainiacs at the NFL figured it out?
Mostly because it wouldn't work for precise ball placement. The NFL does in fact use RFID combined with other technologies. The players as well as the balls all have RFID tags.They have been doing this since the 2017 season.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that is that accurate today. A couple feet, yes. But, that doesn't help with measuring first downs by inches. As an example, NASCAR uses this to determine car position at a caution. Sensors are buried in the track at intervals and each car carries a unique identifier. The NFL could do this same thing, but again, it is not accurate enough to eliminate the issues associated with being inches short of a goal line or first down.
Completely different situation with NASCAR. The distance between transponders is such that there is no chance that more than one transponder will respond at any given time. Knowing the amount of time it takes for the car to go between 2 transponders would allow you to calculate the average speed and therefore position. The error would be caused because the car may be accelerating/de-accelerating between sensors.
1 hour ago, whatdrought said:Magnetic fibers in the ball and sensors at the goal line/attached to the sticks would at least eliminate that...
Not sure how you could possibly make that work.

They could use technology to get better outcomes. RFID chips in balls would absolutely confirm ball placement and whether a ball crosses the goaline.
RFID doesn't do what you think it does.

It's way too premature to make predictions. However, if everything falls our way we "should' make the playoffs and at least host 1 game. Sadly, we can't be the 1st or 2nd seed unless we win the division.
1. Highest seed in any playoff game is the home team.
2. The 6th seed can never host a game because it is always the lowest seed.
3. 5th seed will only host a game if they are playing the 6th seed.
4. The only way the 5th and 6th seeds play a playoff game against each other is if both make it to the conference championship.

You could be right! I don’t know about winning the division but hosting a wild card game is a definite possibility
Top seed in all playoff games gets home field. The only way the Bills host a playoff game as a wildcard is if the Bills were seeded 5th and make it to the AFC championship game and the 6th seed also makes it to the AFC championship game.

Good article and you're right, author does seem to know the team.
Only thing I wonder about is the part where he says " With Williams’ height, leaping ability and 4.3 speed, that will be harder to do "
When did Duke Williams show that kind of speed?
Canadian receiver rules. Running start.

I'm looking forward to seeing him, actually. He's a natural fit for this role. Other than scores of jealous Bills fans, Gronk is pretty much universally loved. I, for one, have always been a fan.
Of course you are a fan Gugny.
1. You have the head of baseball.
2. Gronk dents Super Bowl trophy with baseball.
3. Gugny feels like Gronk let him kiss the trophy.

I was hoping that Titans fan who came on here last week, that said their offense was "loaded” would come back but doesn't look that way.
Over on the Titans board he claimed he was banned here.

Bear have 69, NE have 34, we're 3rd
My mess up. For some reason the stats got set for AFC. Either way the Bears have not given up any points on offense or special teams where the Bills have. As for the team the Bills are 3rd but just for the defense they would be second.

He was invited to a pro day at Auburn by his coach. He has said that he had spiralled down after he was kicked off the team and wasn't in shape for it.
It's possible he clocked a faster 40 time somewhere in the CFL? But he doesn't look fast.
No he doesn't look fast but the combine times are a bit dubious when the margin of error is in the tenths of second.

So a tactical move to make it look like Barkley would start ? Maybe, but gain why cut a player ( he was claimed so can’t be total garbage and OL play is a problem across the league) if you don’t need to ? We will know soon I suppose.
To sell the possibility of Barkley starting they needed to make room for the practice squad QB to be moved to the active roster as the game day backup.

The assumption is that the product the teams buy is the same product they offer to the consumer. This is just naive.
