Currently 6th seed and in the playoffs. There is plenty of pain in us right now, but those teams outside of top 7 are in more.

Were right there in the hunt. Just have to keep improving every week. And we need some key players to get healthy. Mainly Love, he was missed sorely today. Take this L and learn from it. Move onto Jacksonville.

We need either Spoon or Love next week.

This defense was just rudderless and listless (and STUPID) without any leadership on the field..

There's no getting around that yesterday hurt bad (I wish I didn't care as much as a I do). But I woke up feeling great about the future of this team...because of Sam Darnold! Last year wasn't an anomaly. Five games in is enough to think that last year wasn't a fluke and that he's one of the best QB's in the league at this point. This looks like when the Lions got Goff, the Rams got Stafford, the Bucs got Mayfield of course, etc. It set of a multi-year competitive run for those teams. I was fully on the Milroe hype train this summer with visions of Jalen Hurts in my head, but I can now see Darnold being our multi-year answer.

Yep, I think it's pretty obvious that Darnold is just a really solid, gutsy and calm QB. The pick at the end was a fluke. He was trying to throw it away and it hit the dude's helmet. Stupid play call anyway, imo.

Jags are no joke this year. Luckily, we get them on a short week. They play tonight. I like it.

I'm plenty sold on Darnold. Dude is just a really good QB who really didn't get the chances he needed, until last year.

I would have bet my life savings on a run to Charbs there, pick up the first, call timeout and on we go

I have no idea why they threw it there

Hindsight and all but I was so frustrated

Was yelling it from my seat. Run the damn ball, get a 1st down, take your first of 3 timeouts. Getting cute, AGAIN, cost this team.

Just bugs me that without those two that the D was a complete:

well this is just my opinion but after what I saw last night from Milroe where he couldn't even do a simple pitch/toss to the running back (something that's f*cking Peewee League), I'm not so sure he'll develop into anything close to a starting QB, let alone Jalen Hurts.

Hell, if he does somehow develop, I think backup QB could end up being his ceiling.

Just like with Darnold where he was a top-3 pick for a reason, Milroe was a 3rd-rounder for a reason. Just 'cause someone is athletic and can run, doesn't make him an effective QB.

Not running it on 2nd and 2 when we had all 3 of our timeouts.

Yes, the Defense was to blame overall as it should not have gotten to this point to begin with but Kubiak once again trying to be "cute" and it was costly at the worst possible time.

It'd be nice if the Hawks can win the next 2 and go into the bye at 5-2. I think everybody would feel pretty good about that.
As good as that sounds, but with the injuries on defense 4-3 sounds more realistic (God willing 🙏🏼) if this offense keeps humming 🤞🏻... (I shouldn't even be saying this🤦🏻‍♂️)... Curse my name, and i will delete my account if harm comes. 😬😒
