The coaches said that was on Newell FWIW
He’s an an average game manger QB on a team with an elite RB and very good defense. Prone to making mistakes and limits what the OC can do.
Right now he’s closer to being just a middle of the road QB than he is a difference maker. Somewhat by design imo
Go back and look at the two point play. (Unable to copy and paste the screen shot?) We have 3 receivers out in vanilla routes. All 3 are covered like a blanket. There was no place to throw the ball. Play design/ receiver routes are horrible on this play.

I've been down on Brock this year, but I will give him (and the rest of the team) credit: they never, ever give up in a game from what I've seen. As long as the game is even relatively close, I can be sure our guys will do their best to try to win.

Unfortunately, sometimes their best isn't good enough, or the coaches put them in positions where they can't truly be their best.

Who was going to cover Purdy?

Pretty standard job by Manning

Purdy with a clean snap and play action runs around a DL
Why because you said so? Defensive ends have been playing up field to contain Purdy all year. I have no doubt they were cueing on the fact that we were goal line under center for this exact reason.

It’s because the play was busted from the get go. If he would’ve handled the snap clean it changes the whole dynamic of the play. He was going to fake hand it to Breece to sell the run which would have committed more people to the center ( especially with the game breece was having ) and I promise you with that many receivers out there he would’ve had an easy pass …most likely to Kolar worst case 50-50 ball that Kolar usually swallows up. Fumbling the snap changed the coverage the timing and everything so of course it looks like it was covered …..duh

Purdy's play has cost us games this season.... that's a fact. So has Special Teams and poor play calling.

Purdy unfortunately has regressed... and it's almost entirely on the coaching.

Your blind love for Purdy has really made you overtly biased to the truth.

A QB can definitely put up decent numbers on the stat line and not play a good game and make costly errors that cost you the game. That happens all the time. And all those batted balls this year, some that have been intercepted, are no fluke or just a great play by the defense..... Purdy totally stares at one guy and then throws it to them. It's an easy play for the defender to make... especially against a short QB. And those batted balls you could easily make a case cost us both of our losses this year.

Purdy might go something like 17 for 25, which looks good on paper, but his misses can be VERY costly. When he missed Breece Saturday, that play could have gone a long way..... and yes, he flat out missed him. Breece could have caught it, but it would have taken a great catch... on a throw that most QB's make very easily.

Don't get me wrong, Purdy is an above average college QB, but he isn't nearly as awesome as you and CMC make him out to be. He has several flaws.... and unfortunately Manning is one of the biggest.
