He is having a bad game but play calling is not helping. Way too many pass pass pass. Rushing to the line and not utilizing the clock. It sucks that Jones is out. Jefferson is not playing well.

The entire offense had a bad day today. Darnold looked like the old Darnold, throws were off and once Jones went out the running game went with him. Good time for the bye week.

Play calling was fine. We had guys open, Darnold was just missing. Aaron Jones going out definitely hurt the flow of the offense, Chandler ran a little tentatively between the tackles and we were struggling to stay in favorable down and distances in the 2nd half.

I don't think the play calling was bad, the play execution sometimes was very bad in the passing game. And that's on Darnold.
The Vikings are opportunistic. That won't hold up.
Jumping out to big leads and hoping the D can hold on seems to be their comfort zone right now.
Its not going to be sustainable.
Time to spend the bye self-analyzing, hoping like hell Jones can get back in timely fashion - and getting ready for the biggest game of the year-to-date vs Lions.
