I'm trying not to overreact. Purdy played like absolute sh** today. That much was obvious. He cost us the game, easily.
I'm looking at the other top QBs and they all have had games like this though. Josh Allen had two awful games like this last year, both close losses where he had 3 and 4 turnovers in each.
Dak threw two pick sixes in the playoffs. He's thrown a massive amount of scoring position picks this year.
Purdy has been horribly inconsistent this year, that's the biggest issue. And the problems have been primarily individual.
A great QB would be doing whatever it takes to win, sometimes that means just eating it for a sack, taking the easy completion, or throwing it away.
Yeah, it is easy for people to be down on a guy when he has probably the worst the game of his career. He played terrible no question while simultaneously having his top 3 WRs out and going up against one of the best defenses in football. Not necessarily because of it but along side with it. This is the result of those things.
One thing I have noticed about this year vs last year is the completion %. We got to play design some completions. Screens, check-downs. underneath routes. whatever. If we have some three and outs so be it. But we got to start designing more completions underneath and not just trying to get 10-20 yard gains all game long. I feel like the accuracy was a little off to start this game but mostly it was just the poor decisions on the two Ints. I am not sure what the issue was on the Bell INT but it wasn't pretty. Going forward we need to take better care of the ball and get/take some easier throws. I think it will be fine. Everyone thought the same thing against the Ravens and we were in OT in the superbowl. Although as a team I don't believe we are as good right now as we were then.
