OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 5 and 2 Justin who? Hand the Fields to Wilson

[JTG]

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!

 

[Pengwins]

seems like a classic trap game on Thursday but offense should be so embarrassed that we come out and score some TDs

really great profile of payton wilson up over at the athletic. not a lot of that caliber of sports coverage out there these days

And also get hit in the balls...

It’s just unnecessary

The Mike Tomlin experience in a few tweets:

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.

 

[deathtouchtrample]

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.

 

[xlm34]

Yeah I think PFF does some useful stuff but their grades are certainly not one of them.

 

[JTG]

I have never seen someone have the ability to get balls like TJ...then came Nick Herbig. And the best part, Herbig is such a dog he recovers them also.

Weather forecast makes it look like the game could be.........interesting, to say the least.

Feels like a 13-6 game.

The OL better buck up because this will probably be an old school 3 yards and a splash of mud type of game.
