What a wasted outstanding outing by Darnold

[GemCity]

I’m watching the Lions whose DBs are decimated. They finally put Tre Flowers in and managed to win anyways because they fight for it.

I HATE Seahawk home games, it’s embarrassing for real.

Agreed!

All the above is why I won’t watch my recorded replay. Ugh.
So pissed I wasted my money on Sunday Ticket.

I'm only going to watch as far as the 4th Darnold TD drive that was legendary.

And that's it.

A game where your QB :

- has thrown 4 TDs for 341 yards.

- had A RIDICULOUS 82.4% completion percentage.

- Had a 135.4 QB rating.


All the Defense had to do was be...MEDIOCRE at least (and force a few more stops here and there in each quarter) and this would be a victory.

Instead, the focus will be on the INT which wasn't even Darnold's fault but that won't stop the NFL Media from going "Ha! You see? He turned into a pumpkin!!!".

Anyway, it was a hell of a game otherwise, though.

If anything, I hope this put to bed any real question as to whether Sam can be the long-term answer at QB here or not instead of the constant wishful-thinking of Jalen Milroe being the guy (just like the Vikings thought McCarthy was the guy; and look at what is transpiring over there).

It is. I just dread it every time we play in that building. Seriously, WTF.

I’m happy with Milroe sitting and developing.

Definitely doubted Sam at first.

‘At first’ being preseason. Dudes a baller.

I don’t disagree but…


None of that would have been an issue if the D even played average.

I don’t know what the stats say it I saw way too many missed tackles and complete wiffs

Specifically Tyrice Knight needs to go to tackling school. He is so bad at tackling. Can't believe he is a LB yet has trouble tackling. Making tackles is the primary responsibility for LBs.

‘Almost as bad…’

Cmon Glenwo! I found myself begging for Woolen to get back in…that’s desperation at its peak!

I was being "nice" but you're right.

F HIM!!! F THEM ALL!!!!
