I love it when people say Brock had a bad game. One Int on a tipped ball. Another possible TD to if not for a great reach back no look pass break up by the DB. Not exactly ideal play calling after both takeaways as well. But yes, Brock sucked and barely got it done and we scored 31 points.
OK, I love Purdy and am delighted at how great he looks. BUT, the interception was a horrific throw, off target and after a bad read. The tip came from CMC instinctively trying to catch a ball that was way behind him. One of the camera angles makes me think that even without the tip the ball was going straight to a defender.
Terrible decision, bad throw, bad timing to do that at that stage of the game and part of the field. But it doesn't matter, the guy's doing so much that is right and so consistently. He is human, he makes mistakes. I'm confident he's learned from it.
I do agree with you that other than that he actually played well. The Seattle D tried hard not just to pressure him but also to confuse him. They've got some savvy veterans and good coaching. We still won handily. I'll take that any day.
I thought it was an awful call by Kyle. Be backed up deep by the endzone, throw into the middle of the field, defense playing lights out. Why? The proper play with the lead was run, run some more and punt in that position. Just unnecessary. Let the defense play. Big risks down there didn't make sense. Even the play call. I thought the coach put the QB in a bad position on that one honestly.
Anytime a int and/or Pick 6 happens, it's a bad play. But it isn't like Brock misread anything and just threw a bad pass.
it was a great heads up play by the d line, reed tipped it at the line of scrimmage and that made the ball go off course. Which in turn made CMC have to reach back and hit it and then it flew off more - into the linebackers hands, unfortunately.
so yeah, it's a bad play, but it's not as bad as some think. For some reason they didn't really show the tip on tv last night but it happens.
