100% done with Knox. Done

Considering the opponent, the defense is more disappointing than the offense.

The offense is averaging 3.7 points per quarter over the past 2.5 games.

Eh, there were 5 rushers and 3 guys hit Josh. Definitively a breakdown in blocking.

Not sure if you noticed but the line is getting smoked.

Daboll had a few clunkers for sure, but I don’t recall the offense ever looking this consistently bad. Its everything. Execution, penalties, play-calling (at times). Just bad overall.

I have no idea what Beane saw in Hardy.

I saw it. Murray collided with the CB.

I hope Cook does that more often. He has the speed to bounce it out even more often than he does.

That pass was wobbling. Was it tipped? Or just come out of his hand weird?

Bingo.

You may be tired of hearing it from others, but as for myself, I never said anything about the NFL paying for player grades. I specifically noted that NFL teams pay for PFF’s “data”. I think you perhaps got confused by the words “how PFF grades”. Meaning, how they map each play - everything from formation, to splits, to man/zone schemes, etc. Perhaps I should I have used a different word, though I thought my clarifying second sentence made it clear.

Much more recent than 50 years ago actually. In 2000 there was the Camp David Summit where Israel offered to relinquish 90% of the West Bank and all of Gaza. They also offered sovereignty of the dome of the rock, and agreed to establish Palestine as an official state, fully governed by Palestinians. Palestinians rejected it. As you mentioned, after that summit, Israel came away with the belief that Palestine will simply never be okay with Israel existing.

Prior to Collinsworth, only a few teams bought the data. A year after Collinsworth took over, 30 of 32 teams bought it. Now, all 32 do. While I do not trust the data blindly, I do believe it is fairly accurate. "(PFF) has hired former NFL figures, including longtime assistant coach Gunther Cunningham, former Redskins lineman Will Montgomery, and former Redskins assistant Bobby Slowik, who since has returned to coaching. Analyses are checked and cross-checked and re-checked; Collinsworth said he has seen single plays debated for 15 minutes, and that “if there’s any ambiguity at all” on a particular play, analysts are told not to downgrade a player. Longtime Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander last season reviewed about 600 plays where PFF had downgraded one of his blockers; he told company founder Neil Hornsby that he disagreed with perhaps 12, “which is pretty remarkable,” Alexander said."

Agreed. There is a reason why Chris Collinsworth is so invested in PFF. He saw the market opportunity for teams that need fast turnaround and took it. There is only so much film that 12 coaches can dig through in 72 hours.

That's right. It was renamed Palaestina by Emperor Hadrian to ethnically cleanse Jewish identity from the territory.

Sure. But in that case I certainly wouldn't be making the argument that Native Americans were colonizing "our" land. That would sound a bit tone-deaf... no? That is part of the reason Lebanon doesnt like Israel.

It piqued my attention too when I saw it. It was several years ago. I think he may have stopped working for them, because this is the last time I see his analysis on PFF: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-wilcots-the-nfls-most-underappreciated-defensive-players .

I think you may have a misunderstanding of how PFF grades. If this were the case, NFL and College teams wouldn't be paying PFF 6+ figures every year for their data. The grading is not one-and-done. It is first graded by an analyst, then it gets sent for review by a more knowledgeable analyst, and then it goes for final review by a senior analyst (I remember reading that Solomon Wilcots was a senior analyst).

I would. I certainly would not trust it to be 100% accurate, but as a comparison tool absolutely. PFF employees many former NFL player and executives.

Sure. But as long as the data uses the same methodology for all QB's, you can still make accurate comparisons. This is because the comparisons would be based on a standardized process, which is essential for understanding relative differences or similarities. I submitted this question to them and will report back when I hear. If I were to guess i'd say PFF, simply because of their connection PFF.

1,650+ years is how long it was Israeli/Jewish land until it was forcefully occupied by Palestinian ancestors. In my opinion that matters, because it gives context to the current situation. Context is something that is sorely lacking in numerous facets of todays society. It is disingenuous for people to state that Palestinians have been occupied when Israel has been stating for centuries “they occupied us!”

Historically speaking, the ancestors of Palestinians invaded and occupied Jewish land - not the other way around. Dating back to 1,000 BC Jerusalem and Judah had been inhabited by the Jews. As far back as our current understanding of history exists, it has been Israeli and or Jewish land. It wasn’t until 650 or so AD (1,650 years later) that the Muslim Caliphate left the Arab Peninsula to conquer the Byzantine empire and forcefully take over large areas of land by force, including Jerusalem and modern day Israel. .

Maybe Allen saw this thread? 😂

Pardon my language but holy crap! That Patriots injury list is absurd.
