There has been a lot of talk this week about 49ers’ QB Brock Purdy’s ability after he struggled Saturday vs GB, but I have to really question Kyle Shanahan’s game plan vs the Packers. Why have Purdy throw it a
career high 39 times in the rain?
-He struggled w/the wet ball in Cleveland earlier in the year.
-Green Bay’s defense was ranked 28th vs the run and 9th vs the pass.
-Deebo went out of the game early, so you were w/o 1 of your top WRs
-Your OL is better at run blocking than pass protection.
-Your TE, George Kittle, is the best run blocking TE in the NFL.
-The game was close, a 1-point margin at half, and your largest deficit at any point was 7pts (so no need to throw so much)
-your #1 RB, CMC, led the NFL in rushing, is a MVP candidate and avg 5.8 ypc in this game.
-GB’s DL had 3 players who had at least 7.5 sacks each, had produced 4 sacks, 9 QB hits and had pressured Dallas into 2 INTs the week prior.
- Kyle gets pass happy at times. RUN THE BALL!

It ain't rocket science. I get that Detroit is weaker against the pass than the run, but for the love of everything that is holy, run the damn ball, control the clock/tempo, and pick your shots in the pass game.
