Not a whole lot to take away other than guys handled their business against an inferior opponent well enough (obviously could have still played much better).
But the red flag 🚩of the week is Dismuke with a 28.9 tackle grade and a 36.9 coverage grade.
(31 snaps).
That’s pretty ugly. yikes!

PFF is a waste of time if people can truly understand their metrics to begin with.
For years bad players grade higher than good ones. It’s confusing to the casual fans

They obviously aren’t perfect, but I put a lot of stock into ratings from people who watch every single play of every single player.

Who’s to say the perceived bad players are actually bad and perceived good players are actually good? Most fans, including myself and pretty much anyone on here, don’t review tape. We base our opinions of players on momentary flashes that make up 5% of that player’s entire package of work. We don’t analyze holes that RBs failed to cut into, open receivers off the camera that the QB didn’t see, missed assignments by LBs, etc.

Actually fans would be much better judges of players if the standard camera angle was the sky cam that floats behind the QB. You really see everything happening on the field. Highly recommend taking advantage of the big games that provide that view on a secondary channel.

I think many football related things are confusing to the casual fan.
