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.

You realize that Purdy audibled out of whatever the original play was?

If that's the case he probably shouldn't have. A throw to the middle of the field is super dicey backed up by your endzone. Way too much traffic in there. A run or throw outside where it falls out of bounds would be fine. Run, run, run and punt was honestly a great series there if they would have done it. The defense was playing lights out. I don't know that Purdy audibled or not. But whatever the call or audible was a bad idea. It was just so unnecessary there. Wrong position on the field with a lead and a great defense to even be doing that.

There's a lot of information to be had from listening to the postgame comments with this group of guys. Not saying you need to do that but helps in some situations as they may touch on a certain play and provide insight.

The miss to Deebo the play before was more egregious. Misses happen though. He rebounded. All you can ask.

It was a dual play call, as both KS and Purdy said in the interview I read. A run and pass, at the option of the QB. A bit like what Harbaugh/Roman used to give to Kaepernick and we kept getting delay of game penalties. The idea is that in that stadium, backed against your own goal line the noise is going to be so bad that trying to do an actual audible is going to mess things even worse. It was up to Purdy to decide which of the two plays to go to based on his pre snap read. It was a bad read.
People in this thread: "I'm not saying Purdy is great but he's doing XYZ things that great QBs do"

lol I get the hesitation, I'm the same way don't want to get ahead of myself but it's just funny.

All I will say is that Brock passed another test yesterday. He made a big mistake in as hostile of an environment as it gets, yet he didn't let it to get to him and he came back and threw an absolute dart to seal the game.

TThat happens a lot against us. At least one deflection a game from the line. I think it's just cuz our guys are smaller it's easier to disengage and jump when the time is right

Hmm idk if it happens "a lot". I feel like
jt happens but I'd like to see the data on how much it happens to other QBs. Especially similar sized guys.

to me, anyones pass can be deflected but it just depends on if it's a good heads up d lineman. They're so tall and lengthy (usually).

Top 10 QB's with the most batted passes.

Lawrence- 332 att, 12 total, 3.7% rate
Howell- 486 att, 12 total, 2.5% rate
Mayfield- 350 att, 9 total, 2.6% rate
G. Smith- 361 att, 9 total, 2.5% rate
Minshew- 256 att, 8 total, 3.2% rate
Tagovailoa- 346 att, 8 total, 2.3% rate
Pickett- 281 att, 7 total, 2.5% rate
R. Wilson- 298 att, 7 total, 2.4% rate
Purdy- 305 att, 7 total, 2.3% rate
Herbert- 358 att, 7 total, 2.0% rate

If I remember correctly, he saw Jamal adams creep up to the LOS, then "cans" the play, and right before the snap..Adams backs off…good play Jamal Adams aka Blitz Boy

They totally missed it! And didn't mention it at all. Thoise tips happen to us all the time. Which has something to do with our physically unimposing right side of the oline.

The fact Kyle was willing to make a risky call speaks volumes about how he views his QB. Quantum difference in philosophy over the past two years.

Because his QB now can execute everything.

Yep.

I don't. jalen carter gonna push aaron banks up purdy's butthole.

I am praying we don't assign te protection on Reddick so purdy can have surgery on his other elbow.

Wasn't somebody mentioning unit protection problems?

I want to know what happened on the 1st qtr scramble that he launched to Jennings. Never got a replay on that one.

Jennings was stuck in quicksand. That was a great throw and off schedule play from Purdy.

Eagles are number 1 in run defense (so says the statistics) and so just reading that, you'd think pass is the way to go against the Eagles. But I'd rather run it a lot. It's going to be a tough game and you play field position and a defensive game (1) to protect Brock from another injury - so you run (2) more runs should help the play action pass, which is the weak spot for the Eagle defense. Eagles win close games, so you just (possibly) kick field goals and get up a two score lead and unleash the pass rush dogs of war against Jalen. Let them do their tush push for a 99 yard drive. I'll take that any day if I"m up two+ scores on them.
Sorry, but not sorry. Many people are just stupid.

He's a system qb.. Look at his roster.. blah blah.

Ok genius why couldn't jimmy G do jack s**t with this roster for years? I'll tell you why, because Jimmy was mediocre to bad at best and that was when he actually was healthy.

I wasn't sure about Purdy since we only saw a few games last year and he was coming off a major injury, but I said it earlier this year- he's the real deal and least of my worries. I very much understand why they traded lance now even though at the time I was confused.

Now that we have a top end QB.... my goodness please upgrade the pass protection. He will be almost unstoppable.

Interesting, Herbert/pickett/Geno/Lawrence are all on the taller end (6'3-6'5). I think it helps to be taller but I think a big portion of it is just good d line men who get their hands up.

Brocks so good he's even top 10 in this 😏
