Game Thread: Divisional weekend

[Picklerick 2.0]

Unparalleled? He isn't even the best QB in the league this year. Hell, he isn't even the best QB in this game lol. If arm talent were all that mattered, Jeff George and JaMarcus Russell would have gold jackets

His physical assets are certainly unparalleled at QB. A lot more to QB than physical tools however.

Players in every sport get better over time, it's almost axiomatic. As the money gets bigger and bigger, players come from all over the world and use advanced training and nutrition and analytics to get better.

This is how it used to be (halftime Super Bowl I)

500 × 689

One of the more underrated QB's from the olden days... biased of course.

Not taking away from Purdy here but the Seahawks defense was trash and about 100 yards were off screens and such. You can't use ypg as a meaningful stat in this day and age. The numbers are mostly meaningless. Purdy has been very good but let's pump the breaks until we get a complete picture.

Points per game for San Fran, not yards per game. He had one solid playoff game throwing. I’ve heard everything since he took over. After a few games they will figure him out, he has a test now, and sit til he plays a playoff game. This and that and what’s happened this far?

Watch some old highlights of Bradshaw, beast in bad weather……

Speaking of bad weather this is not one of those times. But I gotta great laugh outta it.

Sam Darnold's pro day at USC.

Of course the local media covered it. Well the SoCal media called Darnold courageous for get this, holding his pro day in the rain!

Purdy has been converting long drives to TDs more often than Grop instead of field goals. So that could be the difference.

Also I could see the Niners winning it all but could also see them getting eliminated this afternoon. (well evening for some of you )

He is going to see a beastly defense today.

Outside of Mahomes. Who has actually been better as a whole this season than Allen?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Today is that day. The Cowboys defense is a really strong unit. They’re arguably the best group Purdy has played against.

Yep.

 

[Wazmankg]

QB's are just a lot better now, to be honest.

Yup. I stopped arguing otherwise a few years ago. The difference is not as much as it is with some other postions, imo, but QBs today are better.

One of the reasons I can't get into the NFL too much, officiating is the main factor in outcomes way too often

I'm not even saying the officials are doing wrong, it just seems like the more camera angles they get the more doubt you can have about any catch that happens as a player is going out of bounds. The same is kind of true with a lot of plays at second base now in baseball. It used to be if the throw beat the guy to the bag and the fielder made the tag he's out, if the player beat the throw he's safe. Now you gotta watch it 10 times in slow motion to see if the runner briefly lost touch with the bag on the slide and if the fielder still had the tag on at that time.

this is the killa Ds he faced

Washington 3rd in yards defensively. Tampa 9th, not bad

 

[Wazmankg]

Yeah he was good but it seems like today teams don't go into ground game mode in the snow... Seems like they pass just as much... Gloves make a huge difference today's day and age I suppose...

It's not so much the toss as it is the catch that's so much easier these days with the gloves. But offenses have the advantage in these conditions because they know where they're going and don't have to react on a dime.

Bengals just looking like the better team so far … Burrow is impressive, Bengals D is also ballin …

Well, if nothing else, we won't have a Mickey Mouse AFC Championship in Atlanta if that comes to pass.

Baseball umps are amazing.. Idk how they get it right so often as fast and close as some of those calls are.

The AFL QB that was bettah than Joe Namath!

Like I said, today he faces his toughest test. Rooting for the Niners for sure.

 

[Pastafazul]

The snow will be coming down even more in the 3rd quarter with the halftime intermission.....

Very little scoring in the 2nd half.

No, it's called learning from watching years of football.
