BA was open a lot. Watch the all 22. This man gets open. Kills man
He seemed open deep a good amount of times. Kind of worries me that Purdy either couldn't hit him or see him.
Purdy was blitzed over 50% of the time. He had guys in his face much of the game. As good as he is when he has time his effectiveness drop off a lot when under pressure. That's true of ost QBs but Purdy has a little harder time because of his size. It's hard to throw over guys 4 or 5 inches taller when they're bearing down on you.
Yeah I'm definitely not saying that, he wasn't getting much help from the oline a bunch of times. He was pressured a ton and it messed up a bunch of throws. I'm not blaming Purdy completely by any means.
It's just there were multiple throws open on the all 22 though that were deep long shots and where he had time. The chiefs were giving up deep shots how they were playing defense. These would've changed the game. I'm not sure if he just didnt let it rip because his arm isn't quite strong enough for those deep shots or just missed the reads or not just trusting the reads. My take away was after re-watching the all 22 was "damn, Purdy could've saved us."
I found it interesting too that Purdy mentioned during his exit interview he wants to work on arm strength during his off-season so maybe he did see those opportunities and just physically thought he couldn't do it.
