**Wildcard MNF - Vikings at Rams** (+1.5, 47) 8:15 on ABC (2 Viewers)

[Desert_Power]

Dante Culpepper is going to have a tough time coming back from this deficit.

 

[Uncle Leo]

On a serious note. What happened to Copper Kupp? Has anyone taken a dive like this?

 

[IHEARTFF]

I was wondering if the Steelers should make a play for Sam Darnold.

I’m not wondering anymore.

Yeah it’s not a mystery. He’s a perfect fit.

 

[skol asylum]

Looks like I made the right choice in not dropping $ on a ticket for this one.

 

[Donnybrook]

Has anyone lost tens of millions of dollars more quickly?

Daniel Jones did the opposite.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Post season has been mostly hot garbage.

Ravens/Bills should be a classic….but man…between the CFP and NFL post season…..mostly crap.

Been a letdown.

Ravens Bills and every game after that one should be amazing

 

[The_Man]

Rams-Eagles is an interesting game, though playing on the East Coast at 3 pm on a short week is tough

What’s the line, Eagles -5.5?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

REMEMBER THE INDIANAPOLIS GAME!!!

 

[ChiefD]

And way too aggressive on that 4th down call..

So do you not think they should have gone for it or do you just not like the pass?

I agree with your post above. Pin them deep and try to limit them to a field goal at worst.

 

[VikingFrog]

Darnold has a great arm. Can make throws that very, very few others can. But he can't process very quickly, he has no pocket presence and makes some really terrible decisions far too often. KOC got everything out of him that anyone possibly can, I believe.

He's not the guy.

You have to agree that no QB could have success behind that OL, right?

I mean, right?

I agree that makes it more difficult. But he more than anyone should know that. It's fourth down. Season on the line. He stared at one guy who fell down and then was a deer in headlights and eats it. On fourth down. Season on the line. This isn't new. I've been saying this for many weeks.

Be that as is may, Darnold has been facing free-running defenders. Unblocked Rams barreling down.

Literally no QB would have success. Blaming Darnold for those sacks seems misdirected at best.

You can't take most of those sacks. Get rid of it, worst case.

Just throw it into the dirt like Stafford.

Had tickets and when it was in LA was going. Couldn’t once it got moved. But when we were going wifey said she wasn’t looking forward to the 2hr drive home after as someone was going to be salty. Lol. At least here at home we can go to separate rooms.

Seems about right

 

[BeTheMatch]

"We'll never forget you, Steve!"

 

[TheAristocrat]

If the next drive looks the same, I'm out

 

[BobbyLayne]

Stafford averaged 153 yards passing in his last three regular season games. He has 154 yards at halftime.

 

[skol asylum]

Kind of wild that Minnesota is going to go 14-4 with all 4 losses going to Detroit and the Rams.

Dude I hope so. I always look forward to the post season. And it’s been mostly a dud this year.

 

[mr roboto]

I just saw a slow motion highlight where Matt Stafford, the nearly 40 year-old quarterback went on a design rollout. I don’t think they’ve done that with Sam all game. Every single drop back looks exactly the same.

I think KOC thinks he’s better than he actually is and I think he needs to find a play caller. I think he’s great at designing intricate downfield passing routes, but he does not have any other tools in his bag.

 

[Proteus]

Cmon Darnuts make a game out of it

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Darnold being 13/16 is wild.

 

[Snotbubbles]

I was wondering if the Steelers should make a play for Sam Darnold.

I’m not wondering anymore.

Yeah it’s not a mystery. He’s a perfect fit.

Pittsburgh is going to let someone else sign him and then wait for him to get cut so they can sign him for the league minimum and then blame Tomlin when the team loses in the playoffs.

 

[Wingnut]

So many free rushers tonight

 

[fruity pebbles]

He’s lucky that floater wasn’t picked

 

[Todem]

They gotta run the ball successfully a bit and get that heat off Darnold and set up some play action.

 

[Todem]

Darnold is completely rattled.

 

[fruity pebbles]

He’s got the happy feet now

 

[mr roboto]

OK - Darnold is cooked. He can’t function. It’s not all his fault, but he can’t pull it back together.

 

[JoeJoe88]

What a terrible throw, dude may have scored there

 

[urbanhack]

Six quarters in a row of offensive ineptitude.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What a terrible throw, dude may have scored there

He was grabbing his hand after the verse pressure.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

as a Titans fan I would be perfectly fine with adding Darnold as a bridge. He's been not very good for the past 2 weeks and that gives me pause but not sure if drafting Sanders or Ward is our answer for '25

 

[mr roboto]

in a weird way this proves just how great of a job KOC did as a coach this year.

His play calling is suspect, but as a leader and a developer of people he’s top-notch.

14 wins with a guy who can literally go disassociative on the field like this is quite a feat.

 

[RG623]

Give Mullens a shot, can’t be any worse

 

[IHEARTFF]

What a terrible throw, dude may have scored there

That was brutal.

 

[The_Man]

Now Darnold showing that his hand is hurt

Come on, either you’re too hurt to play or you don’t walk off the field giving a visual excuse for how bad you’re playing

He didn't read the Snotbubbles gameplan of how to attack the Rams defense earlier in this thread. If you drop back 40 times you allow their smaller D line to attack and get push. If you run the ball, you let your bigger guys push their line around. By the second half, those smaller guys don't want to take the hits and it becomes easy to move the ball.

 

[dkp993]

Stafford averaged 153 yards passing in his last three regular season games. He has 154 yards at halftime.

He also is the all time playoff leader in yards per game at 308. So he’s right on track.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Don't want Wilson. Winston? Maybe trotting out Mason might be ok

Sounds like you would like this matchup for the Eagles

Puca is in

Oh yes….yes it can lol.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It could actually be a lot worse.

It could actually be a lot worse.

He would at least try to throw it, which would be fun to watch

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Puca is in

Yeah, he was in at the end of the 2nd half.

 

[Dizzy]

Somebody gonna pick up Darnold for a bag of chips in the off-season.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Darnold is 14/20 for a tidy 70% completion rate.

 

[RG623]

Score 0 instead of 3?

 

[mr roboto]

As soon as Stafford hits the top of his drop, the ball is out. When Darnold hits the top of his drop, he pats the ball 17 times. That can’t be just play design right?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Pick 6s for negative scoring
