On a side note, even if it this 2nd dropped pick does exist, I dont understand how anyone could have watched the game and concluded that Love outplayed Purdy. Both of Love's TDs happened on plays where the defender fell down. Love threw two interceptions. Love had two more balls that WE dropped. So yeah, he had one more touchdown than Brock did. But he also threw for less yards and had two turnovers. I dont get it.
I was thinking that way too about the summaries the "gurus" in the media are making about the game: Love played so well, he's sooo good, the future is sooo bright for the Packers. But Purdy struggled, had a bad game, and the Niners barely won.
I went back and watched the game on DVR, plus both film reviews of Purdy's play and Love's plays. And it is clear Love missed a number of throws, struggled, two INTs, and at the end Purdy did a Montana-like come-from-behind drive to win while Love failed his opportunity in almost the worst way. It could have been worse only if Love had thrown a pick six.
Anyone who thinks Love played better than Purdy needs to go look at the film. If that doesn't fix it, they are beyond help.
