He was making good decisions, was on time and was extremely accurate for the majority of the game. He played well by anybody's standard until they got two scores down and he started forcing things.

I don't think that's a good comparison at all.

That is an excellent take.

I thought he slid late and both guys laid off him even though they made some contact. I was more worried about a flag flying at Taron Johnson for going high when he stuck a defenseless receiver

From the bits I heard, I thought they were both tuned in and on the ball today.

It was definitely right on the edge; I wouldn't have argued very hard for or against a call either way.

It was a LB and there is no rule saying he has to look back for the ball; he was playing the receivers hands, which is legal if you're not too early.

I saw him on the sidelines today. I think it was the first time he's been comfortable enough to be that close to the action

Milano could have been called for one with some early handfighting

I won't argue that Purdy is doing it all by himself or that he isn't in a perfect situation for a rookie; my take has just been that he's the best QB on the roster and makes the 49ers far more dangerous than they would be with Garoppolo or Lance.

I'm guessing that either Phillips thought he was OK or convinced the staff that he was, even when he wasn't healed and ready. If they knew what kind of shape he was in, they probably would not have made him one of the 4 active DT's. When it came apart on him in the middle of the 2nd qrtr, it just left them in a really bad situation.

It was so far beyond this that he is lucky to still be posting here. But things were crazy and we were all freaking out so we'll forget about it and move on. 🤙

I thought you were slurring; your lips must have been cold.

They're only dressing 4 DTs and want to run them in a heavy rotation. Being down to 3 really hurts them.

It wasn't my claim, it was the excuse others were making for the toughness and smart play he displayed the minute he stepped on the field.

He set a personal record by breaking not one, but two tackles today and I only saw him lost on offense once, which might also be a personal best. Props to him for sticking with it and getting better.

Awesome. Are you the drunk guy in the blue coat?

Yep, that's exactly what I said. Great post.

Brock Purdy with another 3TDs, no turnovers and 75% completion. He's now played 6 games, which is more than most folks were suggesting that it would take D coordinators to "figure him out". Maybe next week?

And I appreciate that, I really do. I respect it, am glad they did it and enjoyed watching it. But I think that tomorrow morning they need to recognize that the time for that is over. Because you don't win elimination games by playing with love in your heart; you win elimination games by violently and mercilessly beating the absolute ***** out of people that you hate with a white hot burning passion. If they want to survive this fight next week, they need to bring the brass knuckles and the lead pipes and give no quarter whatsover, cuz they sure as hell are not going to get any.

He's like an angry sea lion out there right now

It's possible. If that wasn't the case, then somewhere right now somebody is trying to peel Mike Tomlin off that guy.

They tried multiple times today and got stung repeatedly
