Lol PFF gave Darius Phillips a 90 overall grade and the Bengals didn't play him until the second half.
Targets twice, 0 catches, 2 PBUs

So Phillips was dynamite?

I wasn't watching that close but I find it extremely hard to believe that Margus Hunt had one of the worst performances on the team. That guy made quite a few plays that I saw.

My highest game grade goes to Andy Dalton's wife. Often she was the only one in the game worth watching. Glad the cameras kept finding her. TV must have had same opinion.

PFF grades are utter nonsense.

A 64 grade is solid.
It just means most players were in the 65-74 range.

PFF watches and scrutinizes performance far more than fans watching live on TV/in-person.

Yep. Fans see 1 or 2 splash plays and rate a guy based on that play. PFF sees EVERY play. Players have good plays and bad plays. Some fans don't get that.

Yep.
They not only look at every play, but they look at it with the All-22 film and will replay film multiple times.
It's tough to know exactly what the responsibilities for a player were or were not on a given play, so an assessment can be inaccurate, but it's still better than a fan making a judgement from what they see live on TV.

i can believe it though nothing against hunt but wasnt he just recently brought back onto the team?  i dont think he had been playing this year

That Bynes grade seems high. Alexander’s is about right. He looked bad to me.

What was Hart’s?

Great day for Phillips....Was surprised at Alexander's score.  I saw him miss a tackle but he is usually very solid in coverage grade.  

I really wish they would sit Sims and give Winston Rose some snaps.  He has a lot of upside and I would like to see how he fared.

I was thinking the same thing and thought Bynes struggled.  Weird.

Then they plug subjective grades into a flawed formula.

PFF keeps track of a lot of good objective stats, but I have found that their individual player ratings are kind of a joke.

I saw Germaine Pratt miss his typical 2 tackles yesterday

WTF?


How many missed tackles does PFF claim he has?  2 per game would be 24.  ProFootballReference has him with just 5 for the season.

Pratt played yesterday? :ninja:

No more of a joke than what what fans rate individual players
