Yeah. These guys look like waiver wire bait. If the game were better I probably wouldn’t be continuing down this PFF rabbit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No analytics that aren’t based upon opinion. Don’t go crazy and screw with stars, but give every fan base something to talk about. The question is how do they make their money? Do teams actually pay them? I doubt it. They grade their own players. Their site is about fan subscriptions. They have plenty of reasons to be controversial. Just like Collinsworth does in the booth. Stirring things up is good for business. Why? Because the content over time would show it's biases and eventually lose subscribers. Why would people want to go to a site that they knew was just drumming up controversy for numbers? That kind of thing may get initial clicks but it would not last very long. That kind of business model would fail because other sites that were offering more fair analysis would just flourish in their place. It's kind of a sure sugar may taste good but it isn't going to make for a good diet over time, kind of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really don’t have much big name competition that I’m aware of. Most of the other sites are based upon analytics and only issue reports periodically. You can get your fix after every game at PFF.

|ArmyBengal| Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 what a difference, having that in the tool kit. Any team that leaves the Bengals time at the half. I recall so many times Tucker would put points on us with seconds left in the half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
