It's not a good look for the NFC. And the Packers lost to the Bears today.

Eh....Darnold is a backup caliber QB and Goff is a known choker. This isn't mega surprising.

Not that he's having an easy time with the pressure, I dunno what I'd do in that situation either lol.

Seeing ghosts again.

Now that's some prime Darnold poo. Panic and damn near throw an AWFUL INT and still get flagged for intentional grounding because there was no receiver in the zip code. LOLOLOL

Yeah, Darnold making some ridiculous play or a dumb int is the X-factor in this sort of game

[Jackie Lee]

9 points total with all that field positioning is crazy

[LinvilleGorge]

Run. The. Ball.

Why are they approaching this game like Darnold is prime Tom Brady??? This dude is melting out there and they just keep acting as if handing off the ball has been banned in the NFL

If people had watched him actually play this year they would know he is still the same guy. He just has a fugload of weapons that are typically wide open more often than they are not. Also, he has literally turned the ball over 16 times in 16 games. And that is a career low.

do the Vikings run screens?  I can't remember any, but have not been watching closely.  In turn, had they kicked FGs on 4th down in the red zone, they would be ahead by 5.

Yeah this game might single handedly ruin his chances of getting a $200M contract. JJ went down so early it's really tough to say if Darnold would have actually beat him out for the starting job all season

Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

I mean, I never honestly bought into him getting a mega contract. I don't think many teams out there would be willing to pay him that aren't QB desperate.
