Best, worst PFF grades https://packerswire.usatoday.com/lis...nd-vs-cowboys/
 
 
Top 5 offense

1. TE Luke Musgrave: 93.4
2. WR Romeo Doubs: 93.2
3. QB Jordan Love: 92.5
4. RB Aaron Jones: 89.5
5. RT Zach Tom: 83.9

Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown while running just eight routes (6.5 yards/route run). In addition to the touchdown, his two others catches converted first downs. Doubs caught all six of his targets for 151 yards and a touchdown while running just 16 routes (9.4 per route/run). He had a 100 percent success rate on catches and four catches over 20 yards, plus a touchdown. Love was nearly perfect and dominated in almost every situation imaginable for a quarterback (more on him later). Jones had four runs over 10 yards, forced four missed tackles, scored three touchdowns and produced seven other first downs (one receiving). Tom allowed just two pressures while facing one of the NFL’s best pass-rushers, and he earned an elite grade in the run game.

Top 5 defense

1. S Darnell Savage: 92.1
2. CB Jaire Alexander: 82.8
3. CB Keisean Nixon: 71.0
4. S Anthony Johnson Jr.: 64.3
5. LB De’Vondre Campbell: 64.1

Savage had the game-breaking pick-six and was charged with only two completions into his coverage, and he didn’t have a missed tackle on five attempts. Alexander had an interception setting up a touchdown, allowed only two catches and made six tackles without a miss. Nixon had a team-high three stops, including a third-down sack, and broke up a pass and forced two incompletions. Johnson didn’t give up a catch into his coverage over 21 coverage snaps. Campbell dropped an interception in the end zone but was solid against the run.

Bottom 5 offense

1. RG Royce Newman: 37.5
2. RG Sean Rhyan: 42.5
3. TE Tucker Kraft: 47.5
4. C Josh Myers: 53.0
5. WR Jayden Reed: 53.6

Newman played only three snaps, but he whiffed on a run block. Rhyan gave up a pressure and earned the offensive line’s lowest run-blocking grade. Kraft was penalized for holding in the red zone and dropped Jordan Love’s late third-down attempt. Myers didn’t give up a pressure but got a below average grade in the run game. Reed didn’t catch any of his three targets and didn’t have a touch over 26 snaps.

Bottom 5 defense

1. S Zayne Anderson: 28.7
2. LB Eric Wilson: 34.3
3. OLB Kingsley Enagbare: 47.7
4. OLB Preston Smith: 48.8
5. DL TJ Slaton: 49.2

Anderson was charged with giving up a 47-yard catch, and he was late to getting to Jake Ferguson on a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. Wilson gave up a touchdown pass to Ferguson in the fourth quarter. Enagbare had three pressures over 34 pass-rushing snaps and earned a low run defense grade. Smith had a late sack, but he finished with just two pressures over 43 pass-rushing snaps. Slaton had one run stop but was ineffective as a pass-rusher.

Special teams

Isaiah McDuffie had a pair of tackles over nine special teams snaps. Others to have tackles were Zayne Anderson and Eric Wilson. The Packers didn’t have a special teams penalty or missed tackle. Daniel Whelan put three punts inside the 10-yard line. Anders Carlson went 6-for-7 on extra points. The only “returned” kicks or punts came on the two onside kick recoveries.

Quarterback

Jordan Love: 92.5

Love’s highest graded game of the season arrived in his playoff debut. He earned elite grades from clean pockets, under pressure, when blitzed, when not blitzed, off play-action and with no playaction. Love connected on four passes of 20 or more yards in the air and was 8-for-10 for over 200 yards on passes of 10 or more air yards. On throws to the middle of the field beyond 10 yards, he was 5-for-5. One of his two “big time throws” was a wicked side-arm toss to Romeo Doubs for a 3-yard touchdown on fourth down. Love wasn’t sacked and dealt with pressure on just seven dropbacks, and he didn’t have a turnover worthy play. A truly elite performance.


Stat to know

Take a moment to celebrate the night of Romeo Doubs, who produced 151 receiving yards while running only 16 total routes. That’s almost 10 yards per route run. An elite number at the wide receiver position over the course of a full season is around 2.0 yards per route run. Doubs averaged 9.44 on Sunday. He caught all six targets and averaged 25.2 yards per catch. The performance is one of the most efficient by a wide receiver in modern NFL playoff history — Doubs is just the 10th player to produce 150 or more receiving yards on six or fewer catches in the postseason.

Another stat to know

Jordan Love was under pressure on just seven of his 21 dropbacks. When pressured, Love completed 5-of-7 passes for a staggering 152 yards and two scores. His average depth of target when pressured was 19.4 yards, meaning he was effectively attacking down the field despite rushers in his face. Credit Love for his coolness under pressure. And credit the offensive line for giving him enough time to create explosive plays. PFF charted Micah Parsons with only three total pressures.

he couldn't keep up w/ Lamb in the slot unless he got hands on him

Lamb ate him up at least once (on a short 1st down), but then saw reps of Nixon neutralizing him with a jam

Don't be negative. For a return man playing DB against a really good Wz he had a good game. Lamb had chewed up better DBs then Nixon. Plus you seem to be ignoring his good play at tackling (including a really nice sack) and overall coverage.

and this is the problem.  He's not a bona fide DB

Not going to get an argument from me on that, definitely an upgradable spot for next year. That said, he had a good game. It happens, hope it continues to happen.  😉

This dude said at least twice yesterday (that I saw) we weren't worth his time, yet he's still here LMAO.

Their team is on offseason vacation.  Nothing much left for them to do.

That muskgrave scored in front of doubs is a bit of an indictment of this scoring system

not being negative at all. Just pointing out him giving up a small play and then making an adjustment afterward. If anything that was a compliment to Nixon. He had a fantastic game.

that being said, he does have limitations in the slot (which is why he was near league worst in giving up slot yards this year). He has strengths, too. And jamming appears to be one of them. He's frequently a more physical player than the WR he's matched up with. And GB should (and does, I think) take advantage of that when he's near the LOS.

not sure many of doubs' plays were anything more than love buying some time and Doubs sitting down into the giant holes in the cowboys zone.  The passes >>> the receptions for me.

We’re going to need his physicality next week with JA banged up and Valentine and the young guys a bit light to go up against the skill positions that the 9ers will be steamrolling with. He has never been great but does play with intensity and has had flashes of greatness.

Musgrave played 15 snaps, had three catches, and of course had the big TD.  On the TD, he basically ran down the field with no defender near him, stood in a spot and waited for the ball to arrive.  How does that equate to a 93+ score?  I guess PFF was also impressed he took 5 steps without falling down?  I really don't get it.

Ya i agree love should be higher than both but its kind of apples and oranges.

 

The doubs vs muskgrave comparison is closer to apples to apples, which is why i commented on that in particular.

 

Aside from the numbers, Doubs catches were much harder than muskgraves

I have been only paying to PFF when someone posts it here after the game.  It’s so obvious that they overrate single plays.  If someone gets a pick that bounces off two other guys first and lands in his hands, he is suddenly the highest rated defender that week.  It’s just dumb.

I think he got bonus points for blocking
