Bobby didn't actually make contact with the official, he ran up to the ref excitedly screaming "Can you BELIEVE they're paying me 7mil a year?!" and the ref, disgusted by this reality, ejected him.
At least that's what I choose to believe.

Bobby Hart May be the worst multi year signing we have had in the last 5 years. He’s absolutely awful

If we didn't resign him... who would we start?
Who would be the tackles? Redmon? Westerman? Some of you don't think about reality before you complain. It is not like they put the Franchise Tag on the man. He is as young as just about every 1st rd OL pick in the draft (I think there was only a 1 in a few rounds).
We had to put someone out there, what other tackles were interested in coming here? He isn't an All-Pro tackle, but he hasn't been the biggest problem either. A lot of team's OL are not what they want. A lot of teams are in need.
Who would you rather have at RT?
It is so easy to complain in hindsight, easier to complain when you are not realistic with the options we had...

Don't worry. Turner considers him to be a special RT.. He has all the confidence in the world in Hart and this means he'll be the GOAT ..Not the greatest of all time, just a goat that eats turf between plays..

Was it really a ridiculous signing? They looked back at Hart's performance last year and deemed his biggest issues were really untimely penalties. I don't seem to remember any of those through 3 games. He's 25, and he is very affordable, and I believe he is rating out around 60 on PFF thus far this season. Isn't that around average? Not saying he is ready for the Pro Bowl, but a lot of folks on here would have given up on Whit before he ever became a quality lineman. Whit didn't start as a tackle until he was 28.
Hart is improving and has also stayed healthy...something Cordy Glenn, Jonah Williams, and Andre Smith have not.
I get it was just an attempt to be funny, like when I call our kicker Fat Randy. But I think the hatred directed at Hart is not warranted.

To the letter of the rule Bullock could of had 55 plus yarder for the win. The bill taking his helmet off would have been half the distance to the goal. Bills would have punted from their own 10 5 seconds or so would have been left after fair catch.

Its clearly the END of the play, give it up.
Thats what i see and Price still blocking hard. Miller looks to just be pulling a defender out of the way.

I think that as a 3rd Tackle he'll be valuable. He's just mis-cast as a starter.
I would have loved to see Jonah and Glenn as the Tackles with Hart as #3.
But, they viewed Hart as a Tackle and Glenn as a RG. Glenn did surrender a large amount of pressures last year.

I've been wondering where to put this and this looks like as good a place as any. We've all had discussions about PFF grades, pro and con (mostly con because there aren't too many Bengals with good grades), so i wanted to do an analysis of their grading--if it looked consistent in regards to what players are doing--to see if how they are producing equates objectively to their grade, and along with that, are the grades consistent from player to player on different teams.
To answer your question first, he's grading out below average; that is, he's not one of the top 32 OTs currently. He's grading in about the 65th(maybe slightly better) percentile with an overall grade of 57.1. To give some context...
68.0 or better is in the top 25% (top 16)
61.0 or better is in the top 50% (top 32)
55.3 or better is in the top 75% (top 48), and,
40.0 is the bottom (64th)
I've been as skeptical as anyone on their grading system. Always loved their raw numbers and the different statistical breakdowns they have. That's the reason i wanted to see how "fair" their grading system is; not necessarily based on how well or bad they played but if it looked consistent based on other players of the same position. I, surprisingly, found that they are (based on these limited examples) fair in how players graded, compared to their peers.
Looking at starting OTs, i based this on hurries and pressures given up. I wanted to find players that had similar numbers so that i could look at their grades to see if they were consistent. The first group here gave up a hight number of each (by high, i mean they were near or at the worst).

B.Hart ---CIN---149pbsn---RT---1sk---0hit----9hur---10pr---1pn---62.7pbgr---50.9rbgr---57.1ogr
KEY: pbsn=pass block snaps, sk=sacks, hit=hits on QB, hur=hurries, pr=pressure, pn=penalties, pbgr=pass block grade, rbgr=run block grade, ogr=overall grade
From these four, Bobby Hart has the best pbgr @62.7, giving up the least amount, across the board, of sacks, hits, hurries, pressure and penalties while having the most snaps played. The others pretty much fall in line, giving up more or less in different categories. The overall grade looks to be pretty close to taking the pbgr and rbgr together and dividing it by two, with a slight variance...when snap count or other minor issues are added(maybe ?). I don't know exactly how their formula works.
The next group of four gave up a lesser amount in these categores.
C.Hubbard CLV---92pbsn---RL---2sk---0hit---1hur---3pr---3pn---73.8pbgr---42.8rbgr---55.1ogr
G.RobinsonCLV--101pbsn---LT---0sk---2hit---1hur---3pr---4pn---73.9pbgr---65.5rbgr---68.0ogr
M.McGlinch SF----99pbsn---RT---1sk---1hit---1hur---3pr---3pn---69.5pbgr---45.9rbgr---48.9ogr
T.Brown OAK----91pbsn---RT---1sk---0hit---2hur---3pr---2pn---75.6pbgr---79.8rbgr---75.1ogr
This group seems to follow the previous group in that Brown has given up the least amount of sk, hit, hur, pr, pn in total but doesn't follow that formula strictly as you can see that McGlinchy has the worst of the 4, but not the overall worst numbers; though the grades are close enough that you can't claim any kind of bias or unfairness.
The next group of four are the top 4 overall grades.
L.Collins DAL-----107pbsn---RT---0sk---0hit---1hur---1pr---2pn---79.3pbgr---91.2rbgr---90.6ogr
M.Schwartz KC---137pbsn---RT---0sk---2hit---2hur---4pr---1pn---78.8pbgr---83.5rbgr---84.6ogr
T.Smith DAL----107pbsn---LT---0sk---0hit---0hur---0pr---1pn---90.3pbgr---73.2rbgr---83.6ogr
A.Castonz IND----111pbsn---LT---0sk---1hit---3hur---4pr---0pn---78.3pbgr---73.8rbgr---79.1ogr
If you look at 'given up', you can see that Smith has the highest pbgr because he's given up zilch on pressures and the rest, and the only thing that stands out to me is that Collins has a grade similar to Schwartz and Castonzo even though he's only given up 2 hur/pr while the other two have given up a total of 6 and 7 hur/pr and each have given up hits while Collins has zero there. Even though Smith has given up nothing as far as pressures, Collins has the overall top grade when you factor in his run block grade.
So, i was a bit surprised to find that even though i may still not agree with how they say someone has played, and the grade they were given, at the very least they are fair across the board, the majority of the time, and consistent. So, i'd say i'm leaning towards looking at their grading system in a more positive light and i'll be more willing to cite it in the future.
EDIT: I originally had "not leaning" when i meant that i am leaning.

That's great analysis and thanks for putting in the time to do that.
I do think their grades are pretty decent, with the exception of DT and RB. They seem to rate DT's higher than I'd expect and RB's lower.
Pressure is interesting. Like some QB's are masters of moving 1-3 feet in the pocket and making a rusher just totally have no shot at them because the angle changed. Others (like Andy) are not that great at doing this. So a lineman on a team with a Tom Brady gets that benefit of Brady being crafty...which a guy like Dalton may get sacks. I think they try to take this into account.

Good points and when i get time, i'll probably look at other position groups as well, just to see if it's as consistent.
It would be very interesting to see if they take things like (your example about Brady and Dalton) that into account. I'd lean towards thinking that they don't because it seems to me that would muddy things a bit too much. I'd lean towards betting it's simply, if you make the QB move from his spot, it's considered a pressure, regardless of QB.

Pressures probably are that simple.
For other positions, I've seen a qb make what's deemed a bad throw that gets caught that negatively shows on the qb.
RBs making bad blocks. For instance, Mixon never grades out well on a season.
DT is weird. No matter who we rotated in last year, seems like they graded atleast 70.
I'd be interested in where we had a thread and posted things we found about grading, etc.
