Since Brock Purdy‘s three-game slump back in mid-October last year, Skip Bayless has been convinced that the San Francisco 49ers quarterback will be at a disadvantage in the Divisional Playoff game on Saturday night. Bayless is confident that the Green Bay Packers will get the better of Purdy.
The Packers qualified for the second stage of postseason football after beating Bayless’ favorite Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card. It was a shambolic performance from not only their quarterback but they also got exposed at the back, which Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy called “bit us in the a**.”
Bayless argues that the Packers will apply a similar strategy against the 49ers. Taking a page out of Jimmy Johnson‘s playbook of applying pressure to the quarterback, Purdy, and not letting him find the players around him.
I think San Francisco will slightly underestimate the buzzsaw that's about to hit them.Skip Bayless via the latest segment of FOX Sports The Undisputed.
His angle is that both the 49ers, and the Packers beat the Cowboys this season. But Packers QB Jordan Love is better than Purdy. Because Love has less to work with, he won in Dallas, unlike in San Francisco. And when there’s no help around him, he panics.
I think Love is better than Purdy. Because he is capable of unraveling because during the three-game slide he did. He gets away with it a lot because they are so talented in their scheme. If he has three turnovers, Green Bay is going to win this game.
Football fans on social media make fun of Skip Bayless’ comments on Brock Purdy
It’s worth remembering that the 49ers do enter the tie as the heavy favorites to secure another championship game. But when it comes to deducing which team has the better probability of winning, he goes with the Packers.
That’s because, according to him, if the Green Bay Packers win, he could proudly say that the 48-32 loss came against a worthy opponent. Until then, it was a shameful loss against a team that was the 7th seed in the NFC.
However, for him to say in public space that the 49ers will lose if Purdy throws three picks or the Packers force three turnovers similar to what they did in the Dallas game, they will be victorious. Naturally, it did not go down well with social media.
These two teams will play for the 10th time in the postseason. The San Francisco 49ers historically have the edge over the Packers, with 5 wins to Green Bay’s 4. Despite Skip Bayless’ prediction, the 9ers will go into the game keeping in mind that they have unfinished business from the previous season to fulfill.
