These teams had the same record and are similar in talent. Both starting a bust QB and trying to manage the game. This game really highlighted that Wilks is not good enough to provide a coaching differential for us.

Yea but there is no way a rookie QB will be successful without any safety valve option.

He’s like the scarecrow from wizard of oz. If he only had a brain

We are in desperate need of a reliable 3rd down pass catcher.

If we lose to Trubisky, we should not bring Darnold back as even a backup.

If anyone can blow this lead its Matt Ryan

Vikings still have time to make it a game.

And they knew it was coming

Well so much for that lol

Not sure about challenging there. Losing the timeout in that situation?

Intentional grounding is the opposite of roughing the passer. It basically takes a supreme court case to even consider it.

Roughing the passer has gone too far

Man the Seahawks look done

I mean why not when you're playing Seattle. Their run defense is straight awful.

I mean maybe you could. But if you look at the recent draft history for TE's, you are much more likely to get another Tommy Tremble than anyone who can help a rookie QB. Something about that position makes transition to the NFL very difficult. I think we need someone like Greg who can punish zone defenses and be a safety valve for our QB day 1 next year. We don't have anyone on the team who can do that right now since we traded CMC.

This dude is a maniac banging helmets against his own, but he's still not as nuts as Baker head butting helmets without one on.

Pretty sure Matt Ryan will be available /s

Not sure who will be available in FA off the top of my head. But I would rather take a shot on a rookie QB in the draft, and use some of the salary savings to pay a free agent TE. Good TEs are hard to draft, but if one is available in FA he could help our QB immediately.

Only if you trade for or sign a veteran star QB. Drafting a QB even in the 1st gives you a few years to evaluate whether or not they are worth that kind of a contract.

As soon as someone stops our run game and forces Sam to win the game, he will get exposed again. Every QB on our roster this year is bad. Wilks and company are just hiding him by pounding the rock.

Agreed. His offenses on the Colts when he was HC were never very good either.

Unless we lose out or something, I'd rather keep Wilks than hire Frank Reich. I'd be open to Steichen or Johnson.

and Darnold needs a brain

Fair but this season is also weird in that there are hardly any good teams.

I wonder if he could be used like the Falcons use Cordarelle Patterson. Does he have enough RB ability to be a hybrid RB/WR?
