Wrong in several ways. He doesn't write articles for clicks. He's on a pay site. You don't get to read him unless you pay. Clicks don't matter to the Athletic. Subscriptions do.
He absolutely does make known what his criteria and his method is, every week, in every All-22 article. It's at the bottom in the section called "How the Standards work." And he does freely acknowledge that he doesn't know the play calls or full responsibilities
He certainly is a real analyst. Analysts watch and analyze, and it's fair to expect them to analyze deeply and painstakingly. That's what he does. And Joe does more than watch the All-22 and have an opinion. He watches and grades every player. He watches far more in depth than people on this board like you and me.
It's still fair enough to disagree with him, of course. But Joe works at it and spends an amount of time watching and breaking down tape that puts to shame nearly all fans, though there are a small handful of folks on here that might watch as much or even more.
Thoughtful response, with tons of evidence. Just as much meat as your first post on the subject.
How do people read the Atheletic? Right...they click a link. How do people sub? Right...they click a link. What an absolutely asinine hair to split.
The point you try and make that is bolded is completely your opinion. Based on..stuff.
He does more than watch and have an opinion because he watches....and gives an opinion on everyone. Without knowledge of the play called and responsibilities...you cannot accurately analyze what it shows. Frankly, as well, using All-22 is a dream come true for fans but it is extremely misleading. Small things that we can see "on film" are not the reality of what a player sees 1st hand on the field.

The film doesn't lie....it happened and we can see it.
I don't understand all the hate....this guy is still very young and still learning his craft.
He is going to be a superstar in the next few years
A few things:
1. As I said above I'm actually an Edmunds supporter. My comment wasn't about Edmunds it was about Joe...gentle reminder that he isn't any kind of a qualified expert and it is just an opinion of his.
2. Film in fact does lie. Not for the players or coaches...but for the you and I's of the world. We may "think" we know what's happening but unless you have direct knowledge of what is being asked and what a player many be told impromptu on the sideline...it's pure conjecture.
I find it hysterical that Edmunds supporters use BOTH those 2 topics when Joe give him a bad grade....yet when the grade is good no one can mention it. It's the same with PFF. They are credible when the grades are good...a hack e v a l when they are bad. The world is just a giant echo chamber.

PFF had Edmunds as the 4th highest grade on the team. So maybe everyone is just full of ***** other than the Edmunds bashers. You watched the video right? before you claim Joe B isn't qualified to analyze his play.
Hey, calm the hormones, little one. I'm actually a fan of Edwards. I was talking about Joe here. Put the pitchfork down before you give yourself a flesh wound.
If you wish to defend Joe's analysis...other then it being favorable to your train of thought, could you possibly list his qualifications? Could you talk some about the criteria he uses to come up with his grades? And why is it that PFF is so terrible when they have, say Tre White listed very low...but they are ok when they say Edmunds is good?

Love seeing some real analysis of Edmunds playing solid. Making a mockery of the posters that bashed him last game. LOL.
In fairness Joe B isn't a "real analyist" of anything. He's never worked in or done any kind of that worked. He really doesn't make known what his criteria is, how or why he grades.
In short he watches the All-22 and has an opinion. Not any different than what happens on these boards. Only he writes an article for clicks and content.

They were making sure they had Harris ready for us
Is it just me or have a substantial amount of players missed practice due to "Illness-non COVID" throughout the season? Way more than normal.

is that guy/tight end who dated pegula's daughter still around? more importantly, are they still an item?
git r dun, russ!
That was Jason Croom. I don't believe they are and item anymore. He is still in the league (somehow). with the Philedelphia Eagles. Unsure if Jeffrey Lurie has a daughter and if he is dating her.

Buffalo 27
Patriots 13
Mac Jones will not finish this game. The Buffalo D is going to get too him. Pundits will use it to excuse the Patriots loss

My opinion doesn't mean spit but it seems to me if you got enough players to field a team you play and don't forfeit.
Well, last year they expanded the PS roster seemingly with that idea in mind. I agree.
If a team hasn't filled it with some foresight and managed their roster accordingly (doesn't seem any team is keeping 1 QB in a "bubble" like many did last year) that's on them. The NFL makes a point to mention there is no eveidence that COVID has never been spread from team to team durning a game (which is extremely suspect).

I think it's more important to run the ball when the defense thinks it's coming because it setups up the play action pass than it is to run it just for the sake of running it.
Proof of this was one display on the 2nd TD passes to seal the game against Carolina. They had to respect the run in that situation because the Bills were effective with it...which opened up Davis for the walk in TD.

There was some discussion yesterday on one of the shows about how all of the leagues will eventually have to make it a mandate.
It's hard to imagine that. The way some players seem to feel, they'd retire before they'd agree to that.
Let em. If they feel strongly enough about their stance and are willing to walk away from an NFL paycheck...while I may nit agree with their stance I could at least respect them for their conviction.
Many career fields all across America are moving to or have already mandated and people have had to make their choice. Why should the NFL be any different?

The teams with COVID outbreaks were going to forfeit but players on neither team would have gotten paid.
NFLPA wasn't cool with that and pushed hard to reschedule them. NFL gave in and rescheduled them.
The Raiders questioned if JC Tretter, head of the players' union, pushed back games for his team's own good.
When the NFL announced before the season games would be cancelled due to outbreak (and players not paid) the NFLPA didn't throw a fuss and fight it.
Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for them. I feel bad for the people that invested time and money to go to a game (many traveling from out of town) that gets moved to a day/time when they can't make it. Season ticket holders that invested their money but can't make a Tuesday game on short notice due to work/family commitments.

I have a feeling even if he's "out" he will find a way to (illegally) communicate on game day.
The way this week is going though, would a Josh McDaniels vs. Leslie Frazier coaching matchup shock anyone?

One thing for sure, they can’t play Brown at LT again.
Judon is of course the biggest threat. And while they do move him around a bit he primarily plays in the left side of the defense....against the right side of the opponents OL. Moving Brown back puts him right in the crosshairs again.
Though, I would expect that where ever Brown lines up he will see Judon quite a bit.

It's possible. But if true, that would be hella bad PR for the team and the NFL if it came out.
It would. However some teams care less about public perception and more about winning. Patriots sure fall in that catagory. Dolphins were about to mortgage the farm for a QB that would have been a PR nightmare for a bit. Browns signed Kareem Hunt.
Teams bank on fans having short term memories and moving on from 1 bad PR move to the next one. And thats pretty much what normally happens IMO.

Do you really think so? I personally think that Beasley is pretty much a stand-up guy and have no reason to believe he's a liar.
After the Rodgers stuff came out, I developed some admiration for Beasley; at least he had the balls to speak up about his beliefs, he's not a lying weasel using "but I'd be attacked on social media!" as an excuse and retrospectively claiming freedom fighter status like AR did.
What worries me is that Day 1 of being infected is early days. Maybe he'll get through it great, and maybe the worst is waiting for him.
I love Beasley too, as a football player and as a guy who seems able to be a Man and not a Weasel even if I disagree with him. But as for "critical thinking skills", in the words of Inigo Montoya, "I do not think those words mean what you think they mean", and a bunch of the stuff he's tweeted out is just factually wrong.
Beasley will not be playing in the Patriots game. He is symptomatic (by his own admission) and tested positive, and is going to be out for 10 days because he's not vaccinated. There's a significant probability he would be out for 10 days even if he were vaccinated - per the NFL's Chief Medical Officer infected, vaccinated players return more quickly and are less impacted physically, but most of them are still out for more than 10 days (the median time to a negative covid test in the general population is 20 days, which means half take longer than that)
Beasley may be able to play the following week, if his symptoms continue mild and he is able to stay conditioned.
Here's a random thought to process. As long as there are not long term or lingering effects when he clears...this may actually HELP the Bills in the long run.
We all know Beasley is (like him or not) one tough SOB. We also have seen he hasn't been quite right physically this year. We know about the ribs, but there may (and likely are) be more knicks, bumps and injuries than we know. Him being forced to sit out and miss a game or 2 not only give him a chance to get right...but also gives Gabe Davis and possibly McKenzie some added snaps to get into a groove as well. It forces Daboll to work in some things that have been missing this year largely. (Jet sweeps, we actually saw a Wild Cat play last week).
And while he is a fantastic player, his on field production is replacable for a short term. Let's see how it all impacts the season. But it the very least him having some time off to heal gives the Bills a boost in the playoffs should they get there.

They must both be vaccinated if they were at the game. Quite a leap to assume a transmission from Beasley to his wife to Allen's girlfriend to Allen himself, especially when 3 people in that chain are fully vaccinated.
Honestly would not shock me if it was something that wasn't enforced for player's family members.

Wasnt there a whole thing about people saying things to him face to face and him and Feliciano making a whole deal about it?
Yes, there was. Ironically also during the weeks of a HUGE game (Kansas City).

Carlos Dunlap had 3 sacks last night. Just thinking how he could’ve helped Bills
He would play 35% of the snaps and gets 4 total pressures here.😂

I saw this and my mind registered it as Bashaud Breeland.
Speaks is young (26) with decent size. Former Chief draft pick. Has served 1 suspension for substance abuse in 2019.
Floated around practice squads of Raiders, Cowboys and Giants since.

Judge production however you want to judge it.
When it comes to receivers, my primary measuring stick is do they get open and catch the ball.
The stats say unequivocally that Beasley does that exceptionally well. So well in fact, that if you look at the guys who had more catches than him this year, you will see that Beasley is fourth or fifth on the list for completion percentages. He gets open and catches the ball. In fact, he does it better than a lot of well known players NFL fans drool over like Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Davante Adams, etc.
Beasley is a way above average receiver. And it is remarkable he outperforms much larger receivers with a larger catching radius.
So basically you are tap dancing around answering the question I asked.
Couldn't care less about Hill, Adams, Kelce et all. But I can mention other players too.
Earlier in the season the Cardinals lost Kylar for a couple games. They still won. Team sport. You don't have to have a 1:1 swap. Production can come from many areas. And even be a cumulative stat. It's ridiculous to think that any WR (even Diggs) is completely irreplaceable.
Hey, remeber when we lost Tre? Defense seems to be skipping along. People step up.
You are gonna lose it when he's a cap cut this offseason 😂

Amen Muppy! This isn't the Buffalo Beasleys. Davis, McKenzie....perhaps Stevenson all need to and have the ability to step up.
We lost Tre and Dane Jackson has stepped up. Good teams find a way.

Excluding JA, predict which player will have the biggest impact - Bills at Patriots
in The Stadium Wall

I know it's player...however I'm going with Brian Daboll.
These are the types of games he always seems to overthink and instead of having a nice game plan with good flow and rhythm he seems to say "eff it...dialing up 55 throws, 2 runs." Much like we say about Allen taking what the defense gives him...Daboll needs to do the same.
If Daboll is seriously wanting to take the next steps and become a Head Coach somewhere...this is the type of game he needs to show he's able to plan for.
