I have no idea when it became cool to hurdle, but all of these SEC guys look like they are deer trying to jump over a fence. Wayyy easier to get hurt when you're IN THE AIR!

Just post better
A false start counts as a bad decision?
How do we know they have "cost themselves" unless there is another alternate timeline where they do something different and it turns out well?

I think they're counting the decision to punt on 4th and 1 in the 1st quarter. I don't consider this one egregious, we were on our 29 yard line.
that benbaldwin guy is a hack. He claims to be a stats/data guy then uses non-objective shit like PFF grades for his charts. And he's a cowboy's fan.

So what? PFF grades are just an attempt at evaluating a players contribution to production. I get that Steelers fans have a bias because of all the Myles Garrett stuff, but this has nothing to do with PFF.
Not sure I'd call him a "hack". Dude scrapes and publishes NFL play by play data that is used by a lot of the NFL analytics community. All open source and free.
To add to what WW said -
If you don't like him using PFF stats, come up with a better data set and hand it to him.

C'mon, if somebody put our PGT player grades into a graph it wouldn't all of sudden make it meaningful. Literally that's all PFF grades are.
Scrapping actual play-by-play data so that real data scientists can use it is great, sure.
But the charts he puts out on twitter are nonsense.
