Lions were the toughest team left on our scheudle, but yes we will see the rest of the way. I just wouldnt dismiss this game bc it was against the lions... they were the 2nd hottest team in the league heading into this weekend.

They had a terrible D even when winning. That reared it's ugly head again for them. Not gonna complain. They do have a heck of an offense and the way we ran away from them early was impressive. 

The D really did turn around after the Steelers game. Props to wilks and company on that improvement.

Goff had twice as many attempts and outplayed Darnold who had 200 rushing yards to fall back on. I was told Trubisky didn't have to do much under similar circumstances last week when we lost to the Steelers. Sam just had to not mess up. That's good. I'm expecting a great deal more.

It isn't like Goff imploded or something, either.  We just outmuscled them.

Did Goff win??  Stats arent winning football games... protecting the ball and putting it in your playmaker's hands is the forumala to winning.

I dunno man, Sam actually stepped up in the 2nd half and made the plays when we needed to in order to keep the Lions out of reach.  I don't think he is some long term answer but he had a fine game today and I think it's okay to credit him for that.

Regarding Goff, definitely he played better.

Definitely an option as a backup on the cheap if he's interested. He may have other opportunities though

I’d argue that Darnold isn’t necessarily managing the game as much as he’s just following the game script. Whether you like it or not, this is how Wilks’ coach’s. It’s a run heavy offense and it’s very Riveraesque.

All Sam can do is make plays within the confines of the game plan. It would be one thing if Sam was turning the ball over and leaving a bunch of big plays on the board. But in reality, he’s making damn near every play that’s there for him. I give our OL a bunch of credit because Darnold can make all the throws, he just doesn’t process the game as quick as the elite QB’s of the NFL. With that said, with time, he’s shown that he’s a capable QB.

I  would not say Goff outplayed Darnold.  He threw more because he had to.  Goff completed 60% of his passes...Darnold completed 68%

Its also hard to make the comparison within the confines of the different offenses - I do think Goff played well, they just got so far behind so early...

Well that cuts both ways doesn't it? We all have seen the results when Darnold has threw more because he had to. Goff still put 21 points on the board. Darnold had a formidable run game do much of the heavy lifting. And again just a week ago I had people telling me that Trubisky didn't outplay Darnold because he too had a formidable rushing attack. Some of these responses are why Sam gets the rep he has around here. You guys make too big a deal out of even average results. We need more. And consistently against tougher competition. That's not a slight against Darnold or any other QB on our roster. It's just realism. Happy with the win though. Good talk.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Richard Sherman got dog piled for basically saying he didn't stand out as a WR prospect but looked elite as a CB prospect. A few months ago you could find other players commenting on his limited route tree and raw route running but the search algorithms are flooded with love affair right now. The guy is the best CB prospect in years and he'll contribute on offense too. That is the absolute opposite of a knock on the guy. It's just the people buying into him being a full time two way player in the NFL like he was at Colorado who gets their panties in a wad over just stating the simple reality that he ain't gonna be a full time two way player at the NFL level with 17 games seasons and no Travis Hunter fan should want that either if you want the guy to make it to a second contract.

      You do know you have to be invited to College GameDay? They called him out there and asked him about it and he answered it. And do you think he would have this type of interactions with a coach he doesn't have that type of relationship with? You're reaching to the furthest extent lol. I've seen a video of Hunter literally getting cursed out by Shedeur by not catching a BAD pass from Sanders and he didn't say anything just went out and caught a TD pass the next play! A "diva" would've got into a shouting match with his QB

      WHAT?!?!?!?! Honestly for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're saying here.  How are you saying their supporting casts cancel each other out and Hunter STILL had the better season? The supporting cast is LITERALLY the reason that he had the better season statistically.  If you put T-Mac on Colorado in place of Hunter, I'm 100% convinced he'd have had better stats than Hunter did, as he already had almost the same number of catches, and more yards, with a significantly worse QB and with zero other offensive weapons to take any attention away from him like Hunter had. If you think Hunter having 7 more TDs is more because of Hunter vs T-Mac and not because Hunter's QB had literally DOUBLE the number of TD's this year than T-Mac's QB, then I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.
