Props on the last drive. That doesn’t account for being what, 4/6 for 75 yards in the first half?

Two gross interceptions?

Cmon now…isn’t he leading the league in turnovers?

Not convinced bro. We got some crazy calls…and can’t expect Shaheed to pull us out…or K9 to be in BeastMode like he was tonight.

I’m a Seahawks fan…love that we won. But, I don’t have Sam Darnold high on my list of contributors.
Not saying Darnold is the man. But what's wrong with different players stepping up at different times to fill in the gaps?

How old is sam? 26? He is so frustrating sometimes and I want him to be way smarter, but maybe this fear that holds him back will subside. Crossing this threshold might be all it takes for him to calm down and trust himself

Nothing at all! I just want Darnold to have no turnovers.

If he goes 14/26 for 200 yards but, K9 and/or the defense dominate, so be it.

Whole team effort? Helllll yeah dawg!!

If this gets him past the mental block he’s shown, it’ll be a blessing.

Kubiak is doing him no favors tho…

He’s gotta start doing shit that works. The 2pt conversion to win the game. All day long that’s the first time they use a simple play like that? And when Sam has 2 seconds to get the pass off why do they have him standing on he is heals trying to go through progressions… it’s like there are so many simple things we can be doing but yet we go three quarters without any progress. I swear the clock is running out and finally he lets Sam start moving around and throwing the ball to guys like Eric saubert. I have a hard time giving up on Kubiak because despite the ugliness of almost every game this season there are no pictures on the leader board and we are on top. I am comfortable that Kubiak is not going to become a head coach any time soon and perhaps he is learning too

Man..100%. I’m very skeptical of Sam and his turnovers…but, we’re winning. Kubiak shocks the shit out of me…but, we’re winning.

Ultimately, that’s all that matters.

Still makes me wonder why we’re not putting Sam in play action…still worried about turnovers.

I mean, that second INT was downright ridiculous…

It is absolutely comical on how clueless many of you are when it comes to football

He throws picks when he’s standing still and panics. Kubiak needs to take some Pete psychology 101 classes and play call Sam into rhythm by not letting him stand there.

I just hope that’s enough to give Dam co disenfranchised moving forward.
