Winning sucks i know

12 regular season wins in a row is frustrating

I ain't mad. What I like about it is it's sustainable. Maybe more than all these pass centric offenses.

Even shook his head like "that was a good one"..

I knew he could take a hit because of his stature.... but still, impressive.

Edit- and yes I know about the college one.

Edit #2- found it.

Ouch! Those free rushers hurt.

This ends as a PI, so Brock Purdy doesn't receive a ton of credit for this throw…

But, pressure coming up the middle and this throw's dropped into a bucket and if it weren't for the defender, this is 6 to Deebo Samuel. pic.twitter.com/cFX850C9H0

That's gorgeous. Did you see how he did the Jimmy-turn at the last second to avoid the direct hit; something Brady was a master of.

If that was Maholmes, that player would be forced to retire and pray for forgiveness for the rest of his life.

Yeah that was a personal foul all day long. Ridiculous it wasn't called. I guess he has to win an SB to get a flag on that sh-t. Idk

Watching that game, all I was thinking is "How the hell did Purdy survive that Steelers defense?".
TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith are dangerous.

As for the "Longballgate", the pass to Samuel in the endzone was super accurate. The throw to Jennings was great. But yeah he missed two easy ones to Aiyuk and Deebo. It happens, it's NFL and he's still a 23 years old sophomore. Weird things will happen, he's a young player, he's not perfect.
I saw Herbert overthrowing on a deep ball against the Titans for example and we can agree that Herbert is a hell of a player. S**t happens, QB aren't perfect. Even Joe wasn't. But how Purdy will learn from those misses, that's the interesting story.

Yeah, those will get the QB injured if that happens too much. Came from the left too. Nobody picked it up. Burford ended up blocking air.

Pressure came from Burford side. Kobe Turner, the rams rookie DT did it. Burford has got to step his game up. CMC gave McKivitz some help. Not happy with Burford's performance on that play.

how many millions did the browns fork over to Watson? they can have him, I'll take Brocky any day

You pay full retail price for a player, if your coaches aren't good enough to develop players from the draft or undrafted free agency. Its the difference, basically between making a product versus buying a product somebody already made.

Beautiful pass. 38ish air yards too. I think people are getting overly concerned about the deep misses. But I think that is bc the last several years we had a nonexistent deep passing game. Brock missed a few but he took them which gets me excited. He has plenty of arm to do 40-50 yards deep balls. He just needs to hit a few a year to keep the defense honest. He is really good from 20-29 which is fun to watch. I'm very cautiously optimistic about Purdy but that's because our our QB history the last 24 years

And when Brock starts hitting the deep ball more consistently it'll be 280.

True. Brock missed long tosses to Aiyuk and Deebo. I was kinda disappointed it. I wanted Brock need practice talent for long tosses the perfect target to wrs made a catch the ball! He need practice for long toss program and process his step levels!

I think it's just Kyle maturing. He doesn't need to be the greatest show on turf. All the criticism of him being up big and losing the leads have probably changed his calls to time eaters. Not necessarily Harbaugh style, but he's not going to throw it up 3 plays in a row even if the D is crowding the box because he understands the W is what counts.

One of these games we will be in a shoot out and I'm confident that Brock will deliver.

Looked like it floated and was behind. I also feel like he could have throw it sooner…Maybe the intention was to get Pi…I really don't see this as a beautiful pass. By far others from Sunday worthy of calling it that.

Hope Brock can find that fine line between too much air underneath the pass and get it contested, and giving a chance for his guys to run underneath it so it won't be overthrown.

Walsh had Renaldo and other speed demons on his squad. That doesn't mean he was operating a long ball offense. Most of Kyle's squad is YAC monsters. The run game is a way to manipulate the linebackers in order for the Wr's to get YAC's behind the linebackers and evade the DB's for a TD. Again, Kyle's offense targets the area in between the DB's and the LB's - that's what his offense attacks.

Missing the deep balls is not a disaster for his offense. Having said that, that dimension, as you said, is there. If the Defense is squatting on the short and medium balls, like what the Rams did, then of course Brock has to hit those deep ball *if it's available.* Conversely, if a defense is indeed squatting on the short and medium passes, Kyle will just run the ball and gash the defense that way. No need for Brock to throw a deep outs to get the Defense to loosen the short and medium coverages.

NC is quite right that Kyles main offense is a conservative short passing game, simply because he wants to have a ball control offense that ball hogs and takes time away from the opposing teams time of possession and rests his defense. He doesn't want an offense like the fast break Greatest Show on Turf. Long ball offenses tend to be adversely affected by the weather, whereas, conservative short passing offenses with a strong ground component are very good in all kinds of weather.

If we can find a speed demon - guys similar to tyreke hill, that's a game changer. You don't just want a guy who's super fast and just goes deep - you want him to be super fast, run great routes, play on the outside or slot, etc. it opens a whole new element to your offense.

i don't believe a wr needs speed to be awesome, but it sure helps. Becomes extremely difficult to defend. It's really all our offense is missing. Imagine if we had a guy like tyreke hill and the possibilities - especially coupled with our current players.

It would make the defense HAVE to play off more, opening up so much more. So if gray can develop more - it takes our offense to another level. Those guys are nightmares to defend, especially on broken plays.

Speed guys usually are smaller and tend to be less able to block vs bigger slower WRs, for the YAC game. Speed is nice, but there are negatives, longer passes tend to have a lower completion rate, big *and* fast guys are usually first round first pick guys, the OLine has to be retooled to be much bigger and stronger for the longer developing pass plays, and on top of that, longer developing pass plays expose the QB to more hits. So it doesn't surprise me that Gray has been down graded due to Lance leaving and the factors I mentioned.
