once he or Hurts saw the blitz reversed, either he or Goedert could have been open. I don't think it was a bad call. It lacked a back-up plan. And that would fall on Patullo. Or Hurts. Hurts can't get fired, but he can be coached better.

Wonder just how good Hurts is. Of course he's good, but is he elite? A few years back, at the apex of Philly's dominance, the 49ers developed a pass rush designed not to sack Hurts but to scare the crap out of him. The plan was to encircle him, slowly encroach, keep him contained, and force Hurts to hurry his throws. He couldn't adjust. It worked beautifully, and the 49ers won.
