SEA isn't a high frequency blitz team so I think they are going to disguise it up and try to confuse Brock.
The reality is it's still NFL football, comp gets a lil tougher. If he has a bad game I feel it will be just the random odds of such a game, not 'playoff jitters' as he's been fearless all season. Looking at the ol schedule his first three games of action were all against playoff teams tho the lesser seeded teams.
at the beginning of every playoff game JG was a stressed out mess.
remember his first couple of throws were a mile over the receiver.
wondering how Purdy handles that?
I'm not sure about your implication that JG had nerves. I remember he started the Super Bowl like 19 of 21 passing. We don't need to clown on one guy to prop another. I don't think you get the wins and starts in this league, or paycheck, if you are a stressed out mess in big moments. There are 14 teams in postseason, 13 will come to a crashing end of the season soon takes skill and some luck to be last team standing. If we happen to crash out I hope we don't hear the narrative that our guys are afraid or fatally flawed in some way.. odds are against us it's just the difficulty of winning a Super Bowl. We have a great team I would like them to be remembered as champs only way to do it is you gotta win.
Two of those 19 passes were completed short of the sticks to covered guys on third down in the red zone when other guys were open down the field for a first down. That cost us 8 points. 8 points that would have given us an 18 point lead instead of a 10 point lead, and would have changed the entire situations. 100% chance we win that game if Jimmy G isn't predetermining where he's throwing so often and had better field vision.
Purdy converts both of those third downs.
So props to Jimmy for being competent. For having a great release and accuracy which allowed him to play with his limited MENTAL talents. These things are the major reasons he "just wins." They allow him to move the chains consistently. But Purdy has been the better QB despite being slightly LESS accurate (Jimmy's had more hospital balls but he has also thrown more in-stride stuff) because he
sees the field better. Which is NOT something you improve that much, and certain posters can seethe and mock me about that, but they know damned well I'm right about it. Field awareness and vision are TALENTS, like arm strength and size. You're BORN with that ability, and only marginally improve it in the overwhelming majority of cases.
