Kayoh Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The amount of whining on this board is legitimately obnoxious. I figured I'd show these to you guys so you can relax, STFU and realize that our team is talented, we're just turning the ball over too much when the opportunity to score is there. Before I even post these grades, consider this. Week 6: Blocked punt (-7), Coleman fumble on the NO 9 (-3 minimum), Botched snap on NO 14 (-3 minimum). We lost by 10 and NO missed a FG, so at the very least this should have been an overtime game. The way we were moving the ball we very easily could have put up touchdowns instead of FGs on our two drives that ended with fumbles, meaning we win by 8 rather than overtime, but due to the fumbles (and blocked punt) we lost by 10. That's not even to mention, this was New Orleans' SUPER BOWL this year. They were playing with a fire we haven't seen in a while. This was just another game for us. The difference between 5-1 and 6-0 exists, but it's not a gigantic gap. Week 7: INT that gave them a short field & led to their only TD of the day (-7), INT in the endzone (-3 minimum). This should have been a 13-0 game at worst. Now that being said, this is what our grades look like this year. If you don't like PFF, prove why your opinions are better than theirs. If you can't prove it, kindly GTFO. OFFENSE: DEFENSE: SPECIAL TEAMS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ryan Tutor Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Looks like the numbers support what we see from Hankerson we need Hardy to take his place at the very least and add more stability to the wide receiver core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayoh Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Also worth noting: We have the best offense in the NFL at +55.4. The next best offense is Cincinnati at +43.1. Our defense is 15th at +15.9. Denver is #1 in this category by FAR at +85.4. Our offensive line is currently #4 in Pass Block Efficiency, behind only Dallas, Oakland and Cincinnati's OLs.

MilleniumFalcon Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Worrilow & Willy Mo have looked bad and the grades reflect that. I don't think Durant has looked as bad as his grade. Surprised Grady Jarrett is also in the negative scoring. Hankerson has looked bad with his drops and his grade reflects that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'm skeptical of PFF in general but they ARE a voice in the discussion. I think this was a refreshingly objective look at the state of the team. We remain a growing football team with budding young talent. Just because we aren't destroying teams like people apparently expect (which is mindblowing, IMO) doesnt mean we're bad at football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Why does Lolo have such a poor run blocking grade? Makes no sense.I do like your supposition before the grades though, we aren't nearly as bad as the final score would tell us. Our "barely" wins this year look so much better than the "barely" wins we've had over the past half decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direwolf Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Interesting. Grades seem to bear out that we're in need of help at safety and linebacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Grady Jarrett is also in the negative scoring. Hankerson has looked bad with his drops and his grade reflects that.Durant has missed 7 tackles and has blown a few coverages. I watch everybody so I've seen his mistakes. He gets shook by shifty backs. A lot. Just like worrilow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I have no problem getting PFF's opinion in all this, but that is how I will see it, as an opinion.Chester has been our worst OL in pass pro, and Levitre has held his own there in most instances. The scheme is designed to cover up for Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyCo Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Does Tru get positive grades for the games where nobody threw his way?yesedit: well it depends on if harish Abdullah determined his coverage was good. Alford gets poor grades even when the ball is thrown his way and the receiver doesn't catch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why you often saw him on an island blocking no one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
