Sam didn’t Choke

[pmedic920]

One of 3-4 biggest games of his career.

He didn't lose it, for sure. Defense gets gameball.

 

[Aircrew]

Exactly. This is precisely what needed to happen.

Another monkey off his back, the Big Week 18 Game.

Sam exorcised the demons against the Rams

This is what we have always said. Seattle will be hard as anything to beat if Sam doesn’t turn the ball over. It was very conservative at times , maybe overly but we got the job done. The red zone struggles unfortunately are what they are at this point. Just hope with more game planning time; we can alleviate the issues a bit

 

[Hawkpower]

In this kind of game, that’s EXACTLY how you want Sam to play

Run the ball, play action, safe throws

He plays like that and we can win it all

Isn't this what the original plan was when they signed Darnold, though?

Lean on the Defense and Running game while Sam takes care of the football or something?

It worked when we had Russ/Lynch/LOB

It's a good formula

Yup and this is what I was hoping for. I didnt expect Darnold to be a world beater. He just needs to move the ball enough and give the defense enough rest to dominate and he's done more than that so I am happy with how he's played despite the turnovers.

strohim, I think you'll agree with me but this version of Darnold (as careful as he is) with this defense and running game?

That wins you playoff games AND SuperBowls.

 

[bileever]

Clutch passes to keep drives alive, ran when he had to, overall smart play.

So is he now the 2nd QB to win 14 Games in back-to-back seasons aside from Brady?

I do know he's the ONLY QB in NFL History to win 14 games back-to-back with two different teams.

And that's only because Teams don't typically let QBs that win 14 games leave for another team like a bunch of idiots.
