Game script has been the single biggest reason we are bottom 3 in pass attempts. We have had multiple games where we basically stopped throwing in the 4th quarter. Purdy’s most attempts were against the Giants because their blitzing was stopping the running game early and he threw the ball a ton in the first half. I think we should throw a little bit more though, especially against the Eagles next week.

I think this is a big reason why scoring and passing stats are down. That post about Kirk Cousins still being second in passing TDs is crazy considering how few games he has played. As these young QBs sort out the numbers should move back to a higher trajectory.
