That was a great throw that very few QBs can make.
Why are you bringing up Allen?
The 49ers are not talented at WR.
I include Kittle when I talk about receivers and Jennings and Pearsall when on the field are better than what Buffalo has. I only mentioned Allen to point out what I consider a great throw. Not just a good one or one that most QBs can make.
I don't know why people get so defensive when anyone points out a flaw in Purdy's game or says he didn't have a great game. We used to criticize Montana and Young when they didn't have a good game and threw a couple INTs. Nobody lost their s**t over it when we did. When Brock plays great and has a good game I acknowledge it. I only pointed out that he didn't have a good game yesterday to emphasize it was other things that won that game. Receivers like Robinson stepping up in a big game when he was mostly a nonfactor all year. The defense playing tighter coverage instead of allowing receivers to get wide open all day. Kyler designing a good game plan to exploit the holes in Philly's D. It wasn't an amazing performance by the QB that won that game.
Purdy is a big reason why they won. He was great down the stretch, instrumental in 2 Q4 touchdowns that won the game. Yes, it took other great performances too - CMC, Robinson, Jennings, Kendricks, Wallow, Sigle, etc. Team game.
Interesting that on the post game show all three hosts started by saying it wasn't a good game for Purdy. Then they proceeded to talk about the things the team did well. They weren't being Purdy haters. They always praise him when he plays well. Making some good plays doesn't mean you had a good game. I've rarely seen a game where even a QB having a terrible game doesn't make some plays. If they happpens at the right time then it makes up for some of the bad stuff.
Hurts had a bad game yesterday but his recievers dropped some passes that were very catchable. If they make some of those catches his numbers look better and the outcome of the game may be different. It's football and it's why looking at stats without seeing the game can be deceiving. Hurts isn't nearly as good a QB as Purdy but he's had some very good games to go with his bad ones.
