PFF says we have the 8th WORST pass rush?

Sorry, won’t embed.  But that can’t possibly be correct, can it?

[Big Turk]

They simply lose all credibility with that...

 

Bills are #2 in the NFL at pressure rate, #1 in sack percentage and have the lowest blitz percentage in the league.

That’s what they said. Pretty ridiculous.

[sunshynman]

YES! We can hate PFF again!

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

so dumb

[Brand J]

Maybe they’re only grading the Raiders game 😅

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

They also hate ocyrus Torrence lol I don’t think pff even normalizes their score based on opponents so there’s really nothing to support the bills having a bad pass rush.  If they got less points for beating up on bad olines maybe that would hold them back a bit but I don’t think it works that way

Wow... that loses a ton of credibility for them.  The line has definitely passed the eye test, and the numbers have shown that as well.  I can't imagine how they could be so low.

Are these calculations all over the map intentionally ? To cause conversation ? I’m not sure why some of these results are so absurdly contradictory to what you’re actually watching.

 

 Are they just determined to be smarter than the old guard prior to analytics. Strange.

Ed Oliver is literally 3rd in the league in pressures from the DT position but he’s their 43rd rated DT. 
I’m at a loss for words but it is what it is. 

[Charles Romes]

That sounds like the number for second half of 2022 after Von went down 

[LabattBlue]

Didn’t someone post a chart earlier this week that said PFF had the Bills with a pass rush grade of 100?

[Ethan in Cleveland]

That was an article with someone referencing PFF. Not actually a PFF site. The author is probably using data from last year after Von went down. 

Seems just poorly written.

You have an account with them.  Can you verify?

Yeah there was one day earlier in the week we had to like them. Glad that's over with!

Yes, I can confirm this is true. I have to dig into the numbers to see why (on the road right now).

Edit; PFF is assigning much of our pass rush success to excellent coverage.

I suspect, either poorly written or poorly researched.  It should read something like: "After Von Miller's Thanksgiving Day injury last year the Bills pass rush ranked...........according to PFF but this year they rank them _________ after 4 games.

 

But I could be wrong if what Einstein has reported is accurate.

And he has 6 TFLs in the run game so not like that is dragging him down.

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

As if anyone needed any more evidence that PFF is a joke.

 

[Don Otreply]

And this is why people laugh at pff,
