Ya Let’s hold off on that Kevin O’Connell contract extension

Yeah, at some point if your quarterback is struggling, it’s on the head coach to call some different plays possibly some three step drops. How about a few hot reads once in a while it looked to me every pass there were three wide receivers & the tight end 15 to 20 yards downfield you just can’t win in the NFL like that you have to hot reads. Kfan now taking KOC to task and they are completely correct he was horrible these past 2 games.

Who is taking him to task on KFAN?

I heard it as i came home,  maybe siefert?  I dont listen enough anymore to recognize most voices,   but the end of the first half with going for it on 4th down and giving tbe rams the short field.  Should have punted to the rams,  pining them deep with only 1 timeout left l, instead the field position  allowed them to go up by multiple scores was pretty dumb.  Also taking not using a time out in the late 3rd early 4th.

The going for it or not is a head scratcher sometimes for me,  why when the O is a mess does he try instead of punting and working to halftime,  hes done it several times this year and it usually bites him in the ass.

I'm without a doubt the worst individual game predictor on the board....uncannily bad actually. Consistently. Feeling mostly unconfident about Minnesota's chances tonight but that's mostly due to the egg laying by the offense last week in Detroit. Hoping for the best:

Los Angeles 31, Minnesota 20. 

So what is KOC supposed to do here when he tells Sam what to do and he shits himself? From Mike Silver, The Athletic:

What he should have done is put Mullens in. It couldn't be much worse, it might have even been better. Sam had no chance, zero, zip, nada to win that game. Nick might just have completed some simple throws, released the ball quickly, given the team a glimmer of hope--basic QB stuff that broken-brain Sam couldn't.

What I want to know is, if KOC is really the "QB whisperer" then what did he whisper in Sam's ear the last two games? Sam completely lost his head, he looked like a high school kid out among men.

You are watching a different game than I am. There were plays to be made, Darnold didn't make them.

So I guess that is KOC's fault?
