If only Purdy had an extra half-second before he got hit trying that pass (high flying floater) that Aiyuk saved. Purdy was looking to hit Kittle open downfield for the game ender!

"When [Deebo] is doing stuff like that, and Aiyuk is playing at the level he is, all of our skill guys are playing at the level we are, it's just fun to bring him back into the mix," Kittle said. "We were feeling ourselves today."
Sounds like Deadpool hanging out at practice

It seems like in close/tight games, our QB's tend to play more conservative. I don't know if this is a QB preference or coaching point but it's something to watch with Brock now too (small sample size).

All previous games, I agree. But last game? Just 1 scripted deep shot and that was intercepted?

All those missed touchdowns and he still put up 37.

Yea. He was 1 of 5 on passes 20+ yards. He also missed 2 or 3 more where he decided to check it down a little early. So its not like they weren't being drawn up. We just were not hitting them like we were in weeks past.

Yup. And maybe it's just me, but I think that showed a lot of maturity on his part esp. for a rookie QB who are more prone to playing hero ball right out of the gates. He's playing within the context of the game, within himself and his playmakers and that's special. He'll still take his shots too though.

True. The raiders threw a lot of disguised coverages at him. Which is probably why he struggled early in the game. The way he bounced back tells me that he made the proper in game adjustments. Forget that he is a rookie. I don't know if we have had a QB under Shanahan who has played with such poise.
