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

Even with the 2 interceptions, THAT was Brock's most impressive playoff game. Hands down.

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.

Again, everyone agrees brock made A LOT of positive plays and GREAT THROWS TOO. Both 50 yarders were GREAT PERFECT throws. The hospital ball to cmc was not, BUT BUT BUT it's important to look at the SITUATION -- in philly hostile crowd and your defense had ALREADY gotten smacked with a 29 yard bend back run by saquon, just like in SEATTLE (meaning the PRESSURE is ON the OFFENSE).

So, in context, yes the totality of the Brocks game performance is POSITIVE.

But if we had taken one of those turnovers and scored a t, there would be no last second drama.

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

YEAH, he needs to get away from the idea that he can make every throws... but, this is the result of playing at Iowa State where he needed to make every throws in order for the team to be competetive !!

B-Rock STILL Steady Purdy !!

GO NINERSS !!

That is the shanny game plan for the last seven years, not genetics

It's asking a lot to play a completely clean game when the offense is one dimensional.

I'd like to see Brock clean up the interceptions overall, but had we lost yesterday I wouldn't be blaming his picks. You're only in a position to win that game because of the playmaking of a couple of players, and Brock was one of them.

He's a mostly smart player with good instincts. See no reason he's not going to get better and more comfortable as time goes on from a decision making standpoint. We also hopefully won't be this thin at the skill positions going into the future, though I feel bad saying that considering how much CMC is seemingly a cheat code out there.

The 'hospital' ball was tipped at the line.

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.

I don't know how the refs didn't see it. Mitchell grabbed Tonges's jersey and used him as some sort of a catapult to go get the ball.
He basically slowed Tonges and got this way the best position to make the play.
Now Purdy missed his throw and should have passed the ball to Juice who was open I think.

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.

IIRC, you complain about Purdy not being Montana or Young, cause you have seen greatness lol. Like no other person on here saw those two play. Lol your logic is not real logic lol. Yes, BP could be better but to say he didn't have a good game? Meh, just looking for attn.

Josh Allen, he is so big..over it. He couldn't get his big, sexy legs to get the qb sneaks when they counted the most. Great QB but..meh enough with the big arm, legs crap.
Sometimes size isn't always the prize, sometimes, it's who can get it done when all the pressure is on him, has great timing..and not have shrinkage when it's all on the line. If he isn't accurate every go, it's all good, as long as he gets it done.

What Brock may "lack in size" he makes up with everything else. He is underestimated on an athletic level--see Brees, see Brady. No, not saying he is either of those two.

I doubt Brock is thinking about his Iowa State days anymore. His competitive nature is why he's able to play in the NFL inspite of not being tall, super fast or having a great arm. If he loses that aggressiveness then he loses his edge. He's going to make some mistakes. What matters is when he makes them and if they affect the game. Yesterday they didn't.

They did affect the game but we won anyway.

Yes he does make up for not being big or fast. Not having a rocket arm. He makes up for it as best he can. Imagine how good he would be if he had all those things. You can learn the position and become a better QB. Allen and Jackson were both raw as hell when they came into the league but eventually became really good QBs. Then they became real threats because they weren't just relying on athleticism anymore. However they still are able to fall back on those things when needed.

The comparison really is about walsh vs shanny, not the QB's.

But, Purdy has very similar traits to joe -- great touch, great catchability with his throws, excells at many different release points, great escapability, comfortable off schedule, can hurt you with scrambles. Both can deliver to all quadrants.

He sure outplayed Hurts.

I think some only think it's a hospital if the guy gets hit. Purdy has thrown his fair share of hospital balls even if the result doesn't end up with a hit. All it takes is the defender to play things differently most generally.

Im not referencing the play in question I'm speaking in general
