Clean pocket bad throw. I think there was a checkdown available there on 2nd and 7


I wonder if the wind affected this throw because it's really off the mark.

Quinyon Mitchell also got away with an egregious f**king hold there.

It's like early Tom Brady and Joe Montana critics. Purdy would have to win a SB to shake those guys.

That wasn't a good game for Brock. Much of his passing yardage came from YAC by Robinson, Jennings and Juice on 3 plays. We haven't seen that much all year. The Eagles secondary looked terrible yesterday. It was really the no name defense that won this game. Saleh changed things up a little and the Eagles weren't ready for it. They held the Eagles to 3 points after the 2 INTs that Brock threw. They could have changed the game if the defense hadn't done their job. Three LBs that weren't even playing or on the roster when the season started. LB is a really important position in the 49ers D so that makes it even more remarkable.

Let's not get extreme here. His two picks were really bad but overall given the competition and who was available he had a great game.

We had the 3rd most passing yards allowed by the Eagles this year without Aiyuk, Pearsall and Kittle being injured early in the game...all while putting up the 4th worst rushing numbers against the Eagles this year.

Those YAC yards you're quick to somehow take off Brock's shoulders are there because he's identifying the matchup and making the throws with anticipation and accuracy. Not easy to do against a defense that good.

But yes it's a team game and the defense came up huge against competition that wasn't great. It was good on good and bad on bad. Thankfully we came out on top but Purdy was a large part of why we did.

I knew when I finished my comment tha tit would get Purdy lovers going. I'm a Brock fan but this wasn't a good game for him. He completed 58% of his passes which is low by his standards. Those INTs were bad thriws and not tipped passes that ended up in a defenders hands. He made some good throws but you expect to see more good than bad. He identified matchups on those YAC throws but Robinson is the one that turned a 15 yard toss into a 61 yard play.

I'm certainly not saying he played really poorly. Just not a good game. Be honest. If thise INTs had turned into 10 points or even 7 instad of 3 the game has a different outcome. This game was won by a defense that has been an issue for much of the year. They stepped up and kept some really good recievers on check. The backup LBs played an outstanding game. Plus you can't ignore that perfect pass from Jennings to CMC. Maybe the best pass of the day.

You said it was "not a good game" maybe it's semantics but not a good game means bad to me.

Rich is one of the bigger Purdy critics on twitter. This was him after the game


Because you have to take everything into consideration. We don't need to deal with the what ifs the Eagles got more points from those interceptions. We evaluate the game based on what actually happened. I don't need to ignore Jennings great pass to a wide open CMC. That's part of the trick play. Eagles weren't prepared for that clearly and it has nothing to do with what Brock had to deal with in that game.

They didn't have Aiyuk all year and Pearsall has played about half the time. Even Kittle missed some games. They should be used to not having them by now. Their receivers are still better than Buffalo's. Allen made a TD throw yesterday with a guy in his face while falling backwards. It was a 30 yard rope right on target. All arm. That was a great throw that very few QBs can make.

Was that to well known nobody Brandin Cooks?

I'd give anything to have a corner like Mitchell on this team. Imagine a healthy D line, healthy Warner and someone like him in the secondary. Whoa man. We've been extremely fortunate with the LBs we've had for the last decade or so, but haven't had a CB like that in I don't know how long.

I never understood this kind of whatabout statements that woolick is bringing up…clearly different teams that could afford to do certain things.

Brock played great BUT man in some of those moments a sack, checkdown or throwing the ball away is the correct read. Can't turn the ball over vs Seattle. Especially when this team is not very great at creating them on defense.

yes. Purdy has an inferiority complex which leads to him having to "prove" himself every play. relax guy. Take a deep breath. Do some yoga. You won't win every play. And it's ok.

a bad outcome that doesn't risk a worse outcome is actually a good outcome.

Run game wasn't effective (though I still think CMC played great and is invaluable), skeleton crew at WR, lost Kittle early, wind conditions a problem, a top quality defense on the other side on the road… I thought Brock played pretty damn well. I could easily see that being his best overall playoff game given all those factors especially. Thought the final drive was clutch, but also to start the game the way we did… seemed like exactly what we needed.

Credit to the OL too in the pass game.

That second INT, the play was toast. Pocket destroyed… it was 1st and 10. He's gotta be cool with taking a sack there instead of just tossing it up for grabs.


like I said Brock brushed it off and helped win the game, no hate just feel like those INTs tend to happen when it's somewhat avoidable. Throw it away, take the sack, checkdown on those early down plays…live to fight another down.

You have those backwards. The first one which I hated more than the 2nd was on 1st down. One of the times I think his height got him. Don't think he could see JJ with the mess in front of him but that doesn't mean you should target a backup WR vs their top corner and throw it late on top of it. It's first down...just eat it or try to scramble out of there or something.

2nd pick was just a bad decision and not a good throw on top of it. Ironically made me think back to Kap throwing against Sherm cuz he trusted "Crab". I can appreciate QBs giving their guys a chance but you gotta know matchups.

its the other way around, the first int the pocket got blown up the second int was a s**tty throw for no reason

this. a select group of posters criticism are usually tied to hypotheticals when all that matters is what happened at the end of the game. Purdy could throw 5 INTs in a game but as long as he engineers the GWD in the end, that's all that really matters.

Wind could have been factor. I think it was blowing end to end rather than cross field for most of the game. Brady mentioned on one of the INTs that the nose of the football was up which cn cause the ball to float or hang in the air a little longer. That's why having a really tight spin on the ball is often something that is looked for in a QB. It tends to stabilize the ball and can keep that from happening.

We are going to have to get used to the fact that Purdy has some Farve in him.

He is going to fire into tight windows and there will be picks.

I don't see how he's able to layer these throws over the linebackers. I don't know if i'm just not paying attention but i hardly ever see other QBs doing that.
