He actually needed to play like Mac Jones, instead of Brock big play Purdy. Quickly take what was available and keep moving forward.. forcing the linebackers to move up closer, instead of just dropping back (like they did most of the game).

Then of course the middle will eventually be open.

What seemed to be open against the Seahawks were short passes over the middle, and corner routes. They covered up middle and the flats (why you saw their dbs blasting our check downs)... the middle defenders stayed disciplined and didn't move with Purdy's helmet.. just kept get depth, waiting for recievers to come back into the middle.

Mac would have gotten blown up though. Purdy barely survived, even with his pocket awareness and running ability.

Seattle game: "Brock, we're gonna need you to beat a top 5 defense, with no threat at the WR spot and with the starting left tackle out. Oh and we need you do this while being under duress in the pocket all night."

Sounds bout right.

This is about what Allen and Herbert have been asked to do all year. Both have terrible O lines because of injuries and Allen has no quality WRs. The difference between those 2 and Purdy is they're big enough and talented enough to overcome those issues. Herbert has been sacked more than any QB and still managed to win a lot of games even when his hand was broken. Brock has a lot of good traits but because of physical limitations he can't be asked to take over a game without all his weapons and perform like these guys.

I mean… what are the Chargers/Bills records and what is our record? Why are we acting like Herbert/Allen already accomplished more than Purdy this season?

The playoffs literally haven't even begun ffs. This fanbase is something else.

We already saw Mac play vs a Seattle defense.
It was against the Texans. And he didn't fare any better than Purdy.

it's not Mac or Purdy. It's the playcalling. If Philip Rivers can find a way to pass through this Seattle D, then Kyle Shanahan should be able to devise a scheme that can as well. How about we move away from the same predictable offensive scheme an maybe try 2 TE sets, 2 RB sets, more screens, and less 5-7 step drop backs.

Vic Fangio was asked how different are the skill sets between Brock Purdy & Mac Jones:

"Not that much. They were very successful with Mac playing. I think he started 8 games and they won 5 or 6. Mac's a really good quarterback and he's where he should have been from the start." pic.twitter.com/YSc70DNgS3
