Rivermont Mike Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm done with "grades" for performances of different offensive and defensive units. If you want to write intelligently about how one unit or another influenced the outcome, that's fine because you're acknowledging that the team plays as a single unit. Assigning grades is misplaced journalistic self-importance at its worst. Do I need some hack to tell me that the O line played badly? No. You want a grading system? Try this: When you lose, the team gets an F. When you win, the team gets an A. Great teams win because one unit compensates for the weak play of another, but they are all too interconnected to single out one unit versus another. I understand that they all have their own coaches, but on game day, all that sitting in separate meeting rooms goes right out the window. Go Bills!
