yet it tracks pretty well simple performance metrics, talking heads, and Ws and Ls... 

nothing is perfect. it's just another, ratings system. a lot better than most "eyes"

Negative. It really doesn’t actually.

I'm a stat head, and they actually do a pretty decent job.

we're talking about stats as grades, not as predictors of outcomes. 

 

but on the topic, if the Pats play the NYGs 100 times, how many times do you think the NYGs win. outliers happen all the time. it's why they play the game.

Good thing they only play once. Games are won on the football field. Not in a stat sheet.

And they don’t mean any more than those * rankings. Worthless, but enjoy them if they make you feel special.

PFF is a pile of useless nerd numbers. Fun to look at but don’t amount to feces on Sunday.

Then why do a large number of NFL teams employ their services?

Don’t get me started on trying to explain the nuances of data/stats/predictive modelling... it’s a day to day pain point professionally.

I would have to see physical objective evidence of this.

As in?

 

I mean it's front and center on PFF's own website for one:

https://www.pff.com/team-services

 

Not really surprising considering who the CEO of PFF is.

Quote

“One of the things we asked Mike at the beginning of the year was always look at stacks and bunches. We always feel like stacks and bunches is important to understand how things play out. He is our stacks and bunches guru. We use PFF [Pro Football Focus] to give us a folder of stacks and bunches every week.” – Super Bowl LII Champion Offensive Coordinator, Frank Reich
