Well I am going to bed. This poo is over. 

It will be interesting to see how quickly Mullens gets put out there in the 2nd.

I would suspect that Darnold doesn't end up getting offered a 2nd contract in Minnesota.

I mean, this season was impressive. I hate that when the rubber meets the road, his coach decided to turn into a pumpkin. 

Lol

His coach??

that line ain't helping him much..

They are responsible for maybe 1 or 2 of these sacks. All the rest are on him not throwing the fuging ball or making that insane spin move into a sack.

Jesus dude

The sad part is that we have all seen this and we know that it ain't gonna get better in the 2nd half.

Once I saw the staunchest of Darnold haters admitting he might be changed, I knew this was around the corner lol.

I saw right through this "miracle" season in the few games I saw from them.

Darnold needs to exercise those ghosts right now, otherwise his career will be haunted from now on.

Brother, IDK if you have been watching the last 7 years of his career, but this is who he is.

Who’s the Vikings 2nd string QB ?? they may need to get him warming up 

It's Nick Mullens. He is even more of a TO machine than Darnold.

you can take Darnold out of New York but  you can't take the Darnold out of Darnold

Version 1.0

IDGAF what the score is, Minnesota. You better start running the fuging ball.

I've seen enough. I'll be surprised if we see Darnold in the playoffs again

I mean....as Panthers fans, we have been here before. Same with Jets fans.

You can literally see the money rolling off Darnold's next contract. Jesus.

Dear God, Sam. WTF

This game sure feels like it was whispered to refs to lean a bit towards the Rams

Eh....I mean that roughing the kicker call was sketchy.

In theory, they aren't getting too many of these blantantly wrong.

It's well before midnight but Darnold has turned back into a pumpkin.

I mean, technically it happened last week.

totally agree that it was beyond stupid, but the last thing it could have been was intentional grounding, it landed like a yard away from Puka's feet.

If it was going to be an incorrect call in the end, I'd have been fine with it being called a fumble or a sack as "in the grasp" before it being called intentional grounding, and by the rules, it was actually an incomplete pass.

I know the rule but the spirit of that rule is ridiculous in that instance. 

That's it. Darnold is done.

Darnold looks rattled.

He got bailed out. We will see.

did they?  or did the rule book?

It was a stupid play, absolutely should have just ate the sack, but if you're going by the definitions of rules in the book, he made a pass attempt in the area of a WR, no matter how ridiculous it looked.

Yeah, it was a pass. 

Just now, tukafan21 said:

Honestly not sure what to think about that call.

In the end, I do think it was the correct call by definition of the rule, because he absolutely did that on purpose and from the back angle, you can see he was trying to get it to Puka, even if it was never going to be completed.

But that really shouldn't be allowed to be an incomplete pass, just everything about that should have been if not a fumble, a sack or something, just feels wrong to be an incomplete pass.

IDK about "allowed" but it should have been intentional grounding for sure.

Also, the pay off for that is just 100% not worth the risk. That's a fuging moronic decision even if it paid off.

I miss Gilmore. 

That is a massively stupid thing to attempt. Massively stupid.

Ooof. That is 100% on Stafford.

Darnold is thinking too much, he had Jefferson wide open on a screen and didn’t pull the trigger. Not good

He doesn't process information well. That hasn't changed a ton. It just is what it is.

How many of you still wish we kept Darnold?

Anyone that does literally has never understood football or what they are watching. 

If you watched the Vikings this year, Sam was marginally better than he has been his entire career. He just has an elite OC, an elite defense and elite offensive weapons. 

Those are things he has literally never had before.

So, which Sam Darnold are we getting today? I'm going to guess the bad one.

That is just regular Sam Darnold. No matter how much people want him to be something he isn't, he isn't going to magically become a franchise QB.
