The ball was being held too long. Film can be broken down to see why all day but that doesn't change that fact. So to use pressure rate to put blame on the OL without that context is completely disingenuous. The OL did their job on the plays he was pressured. Bottom line.
This is your issue. You are assuming holding the ball longer is 100% a QB issue. That's disingenuous. There could be a variety of issues for that. Holding protection longer actually is a negative thing according to PFF past a QB's first read.
Also, funny you ignore this: 35.5% > 25%. THAT is far more significant overall than the splits. The more pressure, the higher odds of negative plays. The more duress, the higher the odds of negative plays.
The pass protection overall was an issue all through the playoffs and this game was no different.
And to me, the PP was just a part of the overall reason for the loss. Just like Jimmy, Tartt, the defense, Kyle getting outschemed (1.5 gap), ST blunders at the end, secondary, 10 point lead curse, health, poor S play, their bestcplay makers making plays while ours not so much etc.
Pick your preference.
