Hurts needs to be ready for anything,including the failure of the O line. He has to react not try to win the game from the 14. Take the lesser of the evils,it that's a sack that's better than a turnover with points attached

Pull the ball down,6 yard sack,get another play. This is the JV stuff he needs to learn. Then you can blame the O line LOL

Mailata and Lane meet both their rushers all the way back at the three yard line. Hurts couldn’t escape. Clearly he was trying to. But Dickerson getting pushed straight back in the middle of the pocket so quickly made the situation a disaster. All receivers were covered. Oline blocked like crap. But it was just Hurts fault…sure.

Kelce and Cam doubled team their guy. Only ones I see that did their job well on that play.

Yeah not his style and really nothing I want him really going. Would have been wiser for him to lay down and get mauled over by the retreating Oline and pass rushers. But any competitive player tries to fight to make a play…or get rid of the ball. Pretty much what players have to routinely do in the NFL. There was several games in a row where half our O was Hurts avoiding pressure by escaping then throwing downfield.

We would have been much worse than the seventh ranked O if hurts just fell down taking every sack

https://www.nfl.com/videos/cards-score-safety-on-hurts-intentional-grounding-penalty-in-the-end-zone Also did similar at AZ and he didn't learn squat for the TB disaster. if you need to throw the ball away you need to know roughly where your receivers are but Hurts only makes 1 read,that is the issue here. Stop throwing where there is no one,that will get flagged every time

This clearly shows Hurts has no idea where his other receivers are on the field

In my point of view need a better playcall from coaching, need a receiver to win his matchup, need Oline to not get beat so quickly and badly….then I’ll get to blaming Hurts for his role after everybody else failed to do their job.

Some QB's have to deal with the defense in their face every play. Time to step up from the JV squad

So you see no issue that all there rushers push our Oline back so quickly like they’re on skates here?

Ok.... EVERYONE f#$Ed on the play....whose responsibility is it not to take a safety?   The QB could have taken a sack on the 5... taken an intentional grounding penalty....tried to escape outside the endzone... not pump faked, just get outside to throw it away.

It's the QBs job to live for another play...and not to make a bad situation worse.

The Safety was Hurts fault.

And gave AZ 2 points and the ball back and TB 2 points and the ball back. All QB's take sacks,please. Hurts will get his share,but giving away points in not a good offensive idea. Perhaps without those we would have had the #5 offense?

Yep,but we're spitting into the wind here LOL

The Safety was Hurts fault.  

He pump faked because he wanted to throw the ball away…but realized he wasn’t outside the T box…so he tried to get outside that to just get rid of the ball. Against a four man rush

A play can have many reasons why it isn't successful.   

The QB is ultimately responsible for the degree of failure....unless he is hit blindly.   

Being rushed is not his fault.   How he makes a bad situation worse .... worse than just taking a sack....when he makes a bad decision under pressure to throw a ball that he shouldn't that gets picked....or when he keeps running backwards for a longer sack,  specifically when his initial drop is at the 5 yard line and then he runs backwards into the endzone.  

I’m going to go out on a limb and state that when no receivers get open…and three of your Oline get smoked…bad things usually happen.

But don't make them worse than they are. A sack there we could write off as an O line failure. Take the sack and live for another play

The pump fake ( which the DL didn't give a crap about) only slowed down Hurts from getting clearly outside the box... and having a better chance of staying outside the end zone.  

It was a mistake made by Hurts....hopefully he learns from it.  Hopefully he isn't surrounded by people like yourself who never blame him for anything...because he won't learn

If you're going to throw the ball away KNOW WHERE your receivers are and throw it at their feet. You need to know where these players are,that is the QB's job

And I'll go out on a limb...the QB should NOT make it worse.   Don't throw a pick or take a safety.

He made the same mistake in the AZ game(see post) then did it again in TB

Clearly Hurts tried to get rid of the ball…fought like heck to just be able to unload it. He didn’t make it. Hard to ask a guy to shut off that competitor in him. He initially tried to escape to the right…but Laje got smoked and he couldn’t. Was going backwards because Dickerson was getting bull rushed and dominated so badly. So he tried to escape to his left…but Mailata got beat also. Tough play. You can’t point your finger at Hurts always. Up to you. He was in a heck of a difficult situation on that play. I’m sure he wishes he could have it back and have replaced all his supporting cast failing him in that moment. Just taken the snap and taken a knee instantly.

He tried to get outside the pocket to just throw the ball away…to live another play

by running straight backwards 14 yards?

He saw all the receivers…blanketed by defenders. That would have been worse than taking the safety…would have likely been a pick six.

Dude...stop already...we all agree everyone messed up....stop it.  It's the QB'S job not to make it worse.
