The NFL (I'm guessing) has now blocked several videos that I've posted on youtube. There are now a rash of copyright notifications. I'm posting this link to see if it sends me to one of the blocked videos.

That’s always been a penalty actually. Any head contact including accidental hand slaps. It’s bullshit

PFF averages posted on reddit by u/_Scopes_

I have no idea what to make of PFFs new grading system

It's too early to determine anything by using the grades. It is interesting to see that Humphrey is the #7 ranked guy right now, but some of them just don't have added context lol. Also, how Tyus Bowser is 15 is hilarious to me.

It's at it's best when used in context halfway through the season and a rock solid reflection towards the end. But analytics are a tool. Taking them as gospel can be foolish in certain cases. Statistical outliers such as the Bengals game can really mess things up.

This latest power rankings of his is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Just ridiculous
lol lots of power rankings have the Steelers in the top ten. Fucking how? That defense is awful and everyone knows it. I think they're a playoff team because the AFC is pathetic and the offense is elite, but I think the slow start showed that this steelers team is not a contender for the SB and neither are the Chargers with all those injuries. FUCK YOU SPANOS

The Bucs lost that game yesterday, the Steelers didn’t win. They’re not a good team. Even their stats were inflated because of short passes and terrible tackling by the Bucs.

But the Chargers are a good team. Spanos sucks but they’ve played the two hottest teams in the nfl and didn’t lose by wide margins. Their defense sucks but Bosa returning soon will absolutely help. Anytime you’ve got Rivers slingin the ball to all those crazy weapons they’ve got a chance to win. They’re going to make the playoffs at least and I wouldn’t want to play them.

There are 3 teams I wouldn't want to see in the playoffs. In order, Chargers, Chiefs and Bengals. I'd like to think the Bengals would still Bengal their way to a loss, but Chargers and Bengals we always struggle against and the Chiefs are an obvious pick.


I don't mind the PFF numbers since they back up my Hurst sucks argument...

Who's going to let me borrow their gamepass account to watch film?

Oh the Chargers have a talented team.. They have a playoff roster. But they're the most injury prone team in the league it seems like.

Spanos and his war with the football gods will rob that team any chance by sacrificing all of his talented players so he can win this war...

The Chiefs defense is just so bad I wouldn’t mind it. With our defense (at full health) I’m not afraid of playing an offensive juggernaut if they don’t have any defense.

It’s a shame too. Not many people in the league rn deserve a ring more than Rivers. He’s basically the Dan Marino of this era. Although Dan is better. He’s the goat
