I think Purdy needs to work on accuracy a bit. He did have some very nice throws, but also a couple that could have been intercepted and a handful that were just off target, including a couple that receivers stretched and caught anyway to bail him out a bit.


Definitely the most inaccurate i've seen him be, but as Play said, much of that could be attributed to the Giants blitzing all the time.

I kinda also like the manning bros and guest kinda halfassedly chat over the game and sometimes predict what the play is before the snap, too, but the amazon coverage is pretty good.

Watching Peyton Manning become more and more annoyed at Zach Wilson was a highlight of week 1.

Yeah almost all those 'off' throws (from memory, haven't rewatched the game) were high-anticipation prayers falling back with a free rusher incoming. First drive was a bit scary since missing throws like that is fine, turning the ball over isn't and he nearly did that a few times. But I thought he got better at handling the constant blitzing as the game went on, like the near touchdown to McCaffrey and the actual touchdown to Deebo were both those kind of throws.

Not that he was anywhere near perfect mind you, he definitely missed some throws he should've made.

Feeling like the seahawks could drop a stinker against the panthers. A little high off their own farts after the lions game and I remember the colts Mccoy giants coming in and running hog wild all over them a couple years ago. I think the ypc in the run d is a mirage since they are still giving up like 300 yards passing a game

Yeah, I think he made a couple of iffy decisions early and his ball placement wasn't on point but on the plus side, I feel like the Giants going all kamikaze pass rush on a short week were trying to create much more disastrous results from a young QB than some erratic ball placement. So there's something to be said for him composing himself, recognizing they were trying to kill him, and just getting the ball to his various YAC monsters before they could succeed, even if he's capable of better on some of the throws themselves.

I'd probably choose the Miracle on Ice, third period when Mike Eruzione scored the winning goal against the soviets. Easily more consequential in just about every way you could think of

but I get it, if I was a pats fan I'd be living in the past too

a third period is composed of many plays. I get the significance of that game, but taking a tie game to a lead with 10 minutes to spare is a little different than turning a 99% loss into a 99% win with a single play as time effectively expires

The play was the shot on goal that went in.

There's also that band on field play. That was consequential and quite funny.

The most consequential moment in American team sports for society at large was the 49ers thrashing the Dolphins in Super Bowl XIX, which denied Dan Marino his best shot at being a champion and indirectly prevented him from being President during 9/11, when, because of CTE and poor impulse control, he would otherwise have commanded the use of nuclear weapons against Flight 93 “just in case”.

I wouldn't say that I'm scared of Andy Dalton in 2023, but he's exactly the type of crafty veteran who can pick apart soft coverages and keep the chains moving, especially when he has time to throw. In other words, the Seahawks probably shouldn't feel too comfortable.

He also was bashing on the fact that there's nothing scenic about Santa Clara. And he's right because I live here and there's nothing scenic in the South Bay.

Considering every media portrayal of SF is like 5 landmarks at most, it’s not surprising they can’t make the South Bay work, but there’s plenty of cool enough stuff if you’re creative.

I flew into SJC last year as the 49ers-Buccaneers game was ending and it was a pretty neat sight with the lights on.

I grew up like a 10 minute drive from what is considered the South Bay and live about 30 minutes from it now, and I can count on my fingers the number of times I actually went there to do something. Maybe a few concerts and Sharks/49er games? It offers nothing culturally that any random bay area suburb cannot fulfill.
