Brandon Aiyuk is a Quitter! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

This. That's a TD right there
Just like the miss to McCaffery on the offsides

2 easy tds against this elite defense. Score should of easily been 34 (2 easy tds and the easy game winning fg)

People are giving the Browns D wayyyyy to much credit

I hope Kyle grills Aiyuk on this plus his relaxing on the route prior to knowing the ball was thrown towards him.

And then after grilling him, bring Lynch in and offer him a contract based on 0 pro bowls, 0 all pros and dropping that TD dime

Elite #1 WRs make that catch. Alls I'm saying...

Gotta help your young QB out. Aiyuk has those freakishly long arms that give him the catch radius of a 6'4" WR and he hasn't taken advantage of it yet.

Yes Aiyuk should have made that catch there are no excuses for it. But even the elite #1 WRs drop passes at times. The comment is kinda silly based on that one drop.

ALL Yuck here.... he wants to be ALL PRO, he needs to make this catch..

This is a better look. The CB buzzed in front of him just before the point of the catch. Might've messed him up. Look at Brock through, unblocked rusher. Threw a good pass. Took the shot. That's the same unblocked hit that Geno OMG! squeel lol

- No deep middle safety, so it's Brandon Aiyuk 1-on-1 against a corner
- Purdy waits as long as possible and throws a good ball and gets drilled after
- Aiyuk has to find a way to bring this ball down pic.twitter.com/gr7RIicChD

This throw under pressure, and the drive to setup the winning kick are two big markers of an elite QB. He struggled badly on an individual level for a good chunk of plays against a historically great defense, and on other plays the team could've helped him out but was bad around him. That said, him and Aiyuk delivered huge plays when it mattered at the end.

No one can really point a finger at one guy, because whether it was Aiyuk, Moody, Purdy, McCloud, anyone on the OL, or the guy on D who messed up what should've been an end-zone INT, or even Shanahan himself, any of those made at least one mistake that likely cost us points.

When you slow it down like this, it really looks bad on Aiyuk. A pure drop....buuuuuut watching it live with the eye test, this was a really difficult catch. It was a miracle Purdy got it out of his hands. I remember him throwing it extremely hard in a high wind environment and the ball was probably a little wet. It looked like an awkward missile coming down. Aiyuk was at full speed trying to hands it out of the air instead of a bread basket type catch.

Of course Aiyuk is a pro and should have caught it. He has the hands for it, but I'm not as down on him about this play as some others. He probably wasn't expecting Brock to throw it that hard

Dominated in the first half and was invisible in the second.
