All of the and falcons still allowing shough to come back and they barely won by 2 against a practice squad team. Saints best team in nfc south and they’ll show it next year
Context is Shough was playing with 4th and 5th string Wrs
Saints had no weapons! Definitely made Shoughs stats worse.
He also woulda probably had a higher grade if that td wasn’t called back for OPI.
WHO DAT
This is the problem with PFF grades, the eye test tells a very different story on Shough's game. Don't get me wrong, the grading is consistent across the board but it misses at times with situations.
Insane they didn't mention Shoughs recievers being off the practice squad.
Does the guy without hair know the Saints had a preseason offensive on the field it was more than just Olave out of the game
So we’re not gonna talk about how he didn’t have no starting receivers no starting running backs
Told me everything i needed to know. Shough outplayed kirk and his pff is higher? Ts troll asab pff doesnt need to be a thing💀✌🏾
D alford got Lucky…these guys completely washed over Shough at the beginning of season. Now put in the position where they both have been completely proved wrong. They wanna sit an knit pick because he threw his first int in 5 games. Nothing to be said when he came back and threw a td pass to a guy released from the practice squad 2 days before. their 8th string WR. in the mean time a seasoned Kurt cousins is throwing ints to granderson 5 yards away from him and getting stripped sacked and his performance grade isnt even mentioned. BS.
Crazy that the Saints easily outplayed them with guys that can't even make the practice squad. WTF are you guys even talking about..
Anyone comparing the first time these teams played to this game is an idiot. This is the problem with pff there's no context around these numbers.
Did you even you watch this game? Do even cover football. In the fourth quarter, they had one starting player. One starting player.
It should be a re😢to watch the game if you’re going to report on it, because this is not it.
I can’t stand off. The grading is really just…off. No context whatsoever. They need to go back to the drawing board
This show is sketchy lol these guys are industry plants
The Shough thing shows why you can't trust PFF evaluations (I never do and neither do coaches), because of the lack of context.
When your No.1 receiver started the season on the Practice Squad and Nos. 2-5 were either on a practice squad somewhere or UNEMPLOYED… and your opponent drops 7 into coverage, those guys are ALL going to be COVERED. None of those guys are capable of getting open on their own when it's 5 eligible receivers against 7 in coverage.
So, OF COURSE Shough was "uncomfortable" when they only rushed four, because that meant none of his practice-squad and Amazon-driver receivers would be open.
But of course, because it's PFF, context is ignored and the story is completely distorted to read like Shough struggled against Atlanta's four-man rush.
Not much of a review needed. They had 10 points and scored a garbage time touchdown against a coaching staff that lost to the jets and dolphins.
The fact is, you all gave Cousins a higher grade when he did worse at evading pressure, threw a worse pick, had a near fumble called an incomplete, and had a wide-open TD to London, which even JJ McCarthy could hit, is crazy. This show is just ragebait at this point. Shough ran better, evaded pressure better, had better tight-window throws, and played with dudes had 0 snaps ALL SEASON before this game. Trash analysis
These two dudes are biased af and trash,
Saints didn't have WR 1, WR2, WR3, RB1, RB2, RB3, RG, C, LT, TE 2, TE 3 got hurt.
We ran with WR off the practice squad and kept it competitive with Austin jr, bell, pettis and tougure.
Defense: held one off the best RB in the game to 2.2 yards per carry… on 15 carry’s.. wild.
Sorry your Bucs didn’t make the playoff buddy 😂
I don’t think they watched the game fr…
What kind of recap is this 😂😂😂
shough had no one to throw the ball to..what kind of grades are these when u got no one…has nothing to do wit the falcons def
He wasn't uncomfortable you idiots he had no one to throw to. Our 5th receiver was WR 1. And we were on our 4th string RB like duhhh
