And the inevitable begins....

Tonight's performance did not do anything to change my mind. In scripted situations he and KOC are successful. Outside of that it's a struggle. Under pressure his brain locks up and he misses wide open guys and obvious opportunities.

That said this game was an embarrassment in NFL terms. The refs were in the Rams pockets all night long culminating in the ridiculous no-call on the facemask, not that we were likely to go 100 yards at that point but jesus, what a crap product.

This loss is not on Darnold. Lots of penalties on both sides of the ball—just like Sunday. DBs sucked. They were able to throw on us all night. In fact the defense as a whole sucked. Stafford had all night to throw—even when we blitzed! Result: Vikes came crashing back to earth. Maybe things improve with TJ and Reiser coming back.
Has anyone heard anything about Darrisaw’s status? I had the sound off but the knee injury looked bad.

The D looks horrible and solved by opponents the last 2 and a half weeks. Darnold is a slightly better version of what he used to be, we should want more and so should KOC. Thank god we drafted McCarthy, but Sam wasn't the reason the team lost the game.
