I can't tell if Darnold's performance is on himself or on Kubiak

[Geologic]

There's been some questionable offensive play calling this game.

 

[Dolomight12]

The truth is that Sam is who Sam is. He just is a career backup a la Geno and happened to luck into an awesomely coached team last year and had JJettas to toss to.

 

[strohmin]

No Darnold is just trash who had a fluke year

 

[pmedic920]

You think Sam called a drop back pass on 4th and 1?

I don’t

 

[Fresno Hawk]

I think its a little of both. The new offense is going to struggle. This is back to back weeks we face really good defenses. The little things need to be right against good defense teams. That won't happen in one off season.

This.

100%

Mofo has always seen ghosts. Gets rattled easily.

 

[w00t]

Darnold is not HIM

I don’t

Holy shit eh? What in the **** was that?

Kubiak is like “I got this amazing play where we can get sacked on 4th and 1”

Which would’ve been better than the outcome we had.

How can you be so good thst you find ways to make things as difficult as possible for yourself? I dunno ask a narcissist I guess but holy shit. This is wild.

Any play that isn't a 15-yard shot downfield is going to get called a "timid" or "conservative" or "questionable" play call, even if 32 NFL teams are doing them.

Maybe. But any team (offense) that functions such as this can legitimately be called timid and questionable.

Aren’t the Steelers missing like 6 defensive starters at this point?

Didn’t they give up 30 plus to the Jets?

So there are 32 timid and questionable teams?

Or perhaps you just don't watch other teams?

I’m baffled. Why???? We should never pass again….

Yep. Welcome to your Seahawks offense. We will find ways to ensure you are entertained (if you’re the opposing team)

 

[Sperrydogg]

It’s like when you meet a pretty girl and then say the stupidest thing and walk away shaking your head like, “what the hell was that, I’m such an idiot…”

 

[soxhawk]

I'm for running the ball the entire 2nd half

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

I’m super stoked the hype for Darnold stands true

Are you watching the game really seeing the steelers looking like the better team. Not me. Difference is they made ints and when we had our chance we didn't.

 

[James in PA]

I would imagine some of both.

 

[Sperrydogg]

BOTH!!!! Run him. Run Milroe daymit!!!
