Brock is still clearly hurting, IMO. I hope he has a nice bounce back. I'm disappointed that they rushed him back but maybe Mac wouldn't of been better cause his knee is pretty messed up.
we are super injured and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. I hope we can pull off a win on TNF, and the long rest week will help the guys get better
anyone who watches other games will see that nearly everyone has struggled this year.
my biggest concerns are still the o line and special teams. Our defense could be fixed with a trade for a good d end, which a handful can be bought.
silver lining is we played god awful and still had a chance to win it. I hope we have a big time bounce back against the rams. Let's hope the young guys bounce back and the team comes out with mad energy.
Bro, he just played poorly. Bad decisions, poor placement, isn't taking what is there etc etc.
We gotta get over the "he's hurt" stuff, all these players aren't playing at full health. It's football.
I like Brock and glad he's our dude, but at some point we gotta stop with the excuses. So he can only play well when the OL is perfect, it's 75 and sunny and he feels 100%?
We aren't gonna win many games when he's turning the ball over so much. I could be wrong but 1142 passing attempts with 34 TOs isn't good. Feel like Lawrence is better there and that's not a good thing
This post is spot-on. He played this way in week 1—and he played this way last season. It is now a trend. A bad one.
He did not play this way in week 1. His accuracy and ball placement was excellent week 1. We can call out the bad without extreme takes.
And NY that goes for you too, no need for hyperbole. Brock doesn't need a perfect OL or 75 and sunny. Guys need to make plays out there. It goes both ways...does every pass have to be perfect to be caught? Is it too much to ask that a ball not be bobbled up in the air so the defenders can grab it? Farrell fumbling it pretty sure had nothing to do with Purdy. Neither did Bourne dropping a huge 3rd down conversion and possible TD throw or the punt return TD allowed right after that play.
Purdy played poorly. I don't know if his injury was an issue but I do know there were plenty of sloppy mistakes by the players not named Purdy. And we're somehow shocked that QBs with inconsistent play around them aren't dominant? Bourne had 3 drops all on his own. A WR who Brock has barely practiced with and he's playing 2nd most WR reps in the game.
You take this game and flush it. Much bigger fish to fry now and arguably a bigger challenge, especially if Pearsall can't play. Everyone has to play better if we want to win Thursday and it definitely starts with Brock but no he doesn't need perfection...but whoever is out there also has to make plays for their QB. It won't always be pretty but guys get paid for a reason. If the play is there to make, make it or you're not beating good teams. We no longer have the roster to simply dog walk everyone.
It wasn't excellent in week 1. He had 2 ints and won the game on a 50/50 ball at best.
He was a lot better week 1 than yesterday, but wasn't great.
