Yeah, in the first half I think there were at least 3 occasions when a 49er dback slipped and fell, leaving a wide open receiver. One of these occasions resulted in a Packers TD.
49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
- Thread starter ceeboe
- Start date
Ehh, one can also argue some stuff was a little shakey and not Love's fault. Carlson missed a fg. Jordan bad throw to Kraft tipping a ball. Refs miss a blatant offsides in the neutral zone (this was on the 4/1 spot) that should have resulted in a first down, even MLF should have kicked a fg here at minimum. Savage dropped a likely pick 6. I negate the lack of noticeable missed facemask call because GB scored on that drive anyways. Tom is asked to leave the game, affects last 4 possessions/results. This game was pretty close to going the other way. 10 point swing. But GB didn't take advantage of those opportunities per usual and SF didn't make as many mistakes. Happy for Brock, but 9ers winning again leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Not all his fault, but the last play was beyond his fault, and even on 1st down. Woof. Brought back memories of Favre, 2.0.
Yep, there were a few throws that were thrown to a window and the receivers simply couldn't make the cuts fast enough to get there. That resulted in throws that looked really bad, but in reality were where they had to be.
When Brock lead the team back at Cleveland on a game-winning drive and the field goal kicker missed a 40 yard dead center field goal to win the game, the overwhelming consensus is that was Brock’s fault.
so not sure why it isn’t Jordan Love’s fault for throwing 2 terrible INT’s and having his field goal kicker miss.
Now the haters are saying they have more concerns about Purdy after this 4th quarter come back win. They say they worry that Purdy will mess it up and prevent Niners from winning the Super Bowl. So according to these losers, only way Niners can lose is if Purdy screws up.
Absolutely, Brock did his job in Cleveland and led a beautiful last minute game winning drive, only to have their kicker miss a 40 yard field goal. 40 yard field goals are converted at an 85% success rate in the NFL, but their kicker blows it and suddenly the haters start up the "he can't come from behind" bullsh*t.
Because I didn't place the Cleveland loss on Brock, while national pundits did. That's the difference. The QB can't willfully make the ball go through the uprights, so Brock did everything he could to win that game. As a leader, I'm sure he takes blame, but kickers have 1 job, and if they miss a game winner, they should at minimum share the blame.
Because the goal posts always move. It's crazy to me. Brock is 20-5 as a starter and has appeared in 2 championship games and will have to fight the game manager narrative for years to come.

During the losing streak their defense fell off more than the offense. Went from elite to bad. The offense just went from elite to so so. They really succeed and fail as a team.
Well, first, the 49ers had 5 drops in the Packers game.
Second, this is the trap everyone falls into with Allen. They see the great plays he makes, and they are incredible. There are things he can do that nobody else can do. But in the end a QB has to string together a bunch of quarters of consistent, accurate throws.
He had some drops, but also their yardage was overwhelmingly from him running and throwing passes at or behind the LOS. He's never been able to string together enough consistent football without fumbles, interceptions, or stretches of inaccuracy.
Yesterday he got away with a fumble, multiple missed reads on open crossing routes trying to force the ball downfield and one, if not two passes that should've been picked.
It’s funny that we rarely see it go the other way. Maybe we should see the title of “Game Mis-Manager” used for some of the top pick/physical specimens that can’t make magic happen out of thin air or win the big game.
Josh Allen is a turnover machine and can’t get over the Playoffs hump. Hmm. Dak Prescott is making $40M and is 2-5 in the playoffs. Trevor Lawrence laid an egg and Jax missed the playoffs with 6 bad losses to end the year. Justin Herbert is 30-32 with zero playoff wins.
It’s like people have cognitive dissonance and can’t accept that their assumptions about Brock are wrong even when faced with evidence to the contrary
Blows my mind that people still rank TLaw in an upper tier when he hasn't done squat. They still live in the past days of him playing at Clemson. Ok, he got a pass his rookie year under a poor coach, but now gloves are off. He still doesn't look that great. But, here's your yearly pass TLaw, bc you're a first overall pick. Brock, I'm sorry that you're playing above your pay grade/draft stock, but you sir are just a measily game manager and the only reason you have stats are bc of the insane talent around you. CMC is so good that he hands the ball off to himself as well as dumpoffs too. Aiyuk/Deebo/Kittle are so good they can throw themselves the ball with all those YAC yards and TDS right out of their breaks! Insane how good they are and average Brock is!
But, but, but, these QBs don’t have incredible talents around them like Purdy.
Pretty sure his team lost and got bounced out of the playoffs. His overrated QB never advances in the playoffs. Why listen to this CLOWN?
Yep. I agree with your entire post. Just a lot of hand ringing over some comments made specifically about this game and some seem to think it’s not fair to criticize Brock.
I’ve been a 49ers fan longer than I have an Iowa state fan and can think of 3-4 things that could take the blame before Brock had they lost. Just wanted to point out it’s ok for some to criticize Brock.
Yep. Oline provided zero protection and Brock had hands in his face with seconds.
Your point kind of makes my point. Sometime players can play well for 54 minutes and still lose. Just like a player can have a good 6 minutes and lead their team to victory. Doesn’t really make player B have a better overall game.
Special teams didn't have a particularly splendid game either. Blocked (tipped actually) field goal attempt and allowed a huge return on that (kick or punt - can't remember which) - the one that was fumbled then recovered by GB.
Also interesting nobody seems to point out that GB had two fumbles that they were very fortunate to recover. One on the pitch in the backfield that fortuitously bounced right back up to the dude that fumbled it. And the above mentioned one by the returner.
Two "almost turnovers."
