I mean, have you ever seen a group of more dramatic pencil pushers in your life? PFF will exclusively nit pick TD passes from Allen as if it's normal to say a touchdown pass wasn't thrown perfectly accurate.
And don't even get me started on Brian's comment.

Imagine watching someone in the same game make THIS throw into triple coverage and saying an over throw in a game in hand is "the worst pass in NFL history" and still having an ounce of respect.
here's the thing - I genuinely like & respect a lot of the work PFF does. There's a huge place in the game for their data & grading. It's 1 thing when you're doing it to troll people but it's another to completely overlook an entire game worth of throws to cherry pick 1
it's not my job to make Sam Monson or PFF Brad or that dbag from Fox Sports to like Allen - I don't care about who they do and don't like. It's another to make it your task to consistently give Allen zero positive marks regardless of what he does. It's bush league.
For the most part, I think a lot of Allen trolling is funny. But PFF has gone from a really solid, objective source for bridging the gap between film and data analysis to a troll farm who gets off on angering Bills fans on Twitter. It's sad, unprofessional and frankly tiring.
And here I am - having to oddly defend a quarterback whom I've thoroughly enjoyed watching come into his own in a system he was never supposed to be able to execute. Watching him execute an NFL spread system based on short, intermediate timing routes effectively is eye opening.
