We ran 16 times today, coulda turned 10 of those drops into 10 rushes for 40 yards and a couple field goals at the least. 

Agree but if CMC does come back and get 29 Rushes like Cook everybody will go crazy overthat but the Vike just did it to us with a less than 120 percent healthy RB

I get your point to an extent but have you ever even played football before? There is a reason why they only play one game a week and watch players snap counts. The defense was just out there way to long today, i was praying we won the the coin toss so we could receive the ball cuz i had a bad feeling about defense on another drive. These guys wear down over the course of game at a fast rate they dont gain more energy. It was just bad situation for our defense.

What was defense's excuse last week then? Eagles D was on the field longer than ours and STILL made the plays to win the game. When you're the "strength" of the team, you make clutch plays in clutch moments, which we have not two weeks in a row now.

And I've played football all my life (since pee wee to Elon), I know all about being gassed. But that wasn't even the main reason. It was more missed assignments, letting receivers literally run free for big gashes all 2nd half. Lack of communication, misreads, players confused, etc. Elite defenses don't have those breakdowns in clutch moments. What's the point in spending the majority of your assets (literally last year's whole draft) on defense when they continue to choke? Sounds like a waste of investment if you ask me.

It was the same thing last week. Lol its a clear difference in the way they have performed late in games compared to the first 3 games. The offense has regressed, defenses wear down at a faster rate compared to offenses over the course of a season.  If you think they are bad now, wait till the second half of the season if this  offense cant turn it around.

When he has time he has been the worst Qb in the league i never seen a qb that when he get more time to throw actually get worse at his job . He does it every game  so the blame the o line is valid but Sam is also trash . He get no passes he’s not a rookie 

As I said.  People are blaming this squarely on Darnold.  Your post is agreeing with EXACTLY what I said

Not buying the got gassed part either…these guys are pros…they get paid millions, yet they wilt in Q4?…they have got to do better

but let’s not forget we are missing Shaq, Burris and our #1 draft pick…the players n the field in their places are not as good

    • Xavier Legette is 15 months older than Jonathan Mingo. He's less than a year younger than Ja'Marr Chase who is going into NFL year 4.
    • Valid - good discussion btw. I will say, this is where I get a bit more sold on specific players over filling a void.  I do think there's validity in balancing positional priority in the draft with BPA, so I understand where you're coming from -- I'm more so just finding myself pretty compelled by this guy.     I'm not a huge fan of Arnold and Kool-Aid, but they do check boxes and are overall really sound prospects.  If available, hell yeah, they or even DeJean would be optimal.  Do note - McKinstry isn't a ballhawk by any means and Arnold has even less CB experience than Sainistrill.  Elsewhere, TJ Tampa isn't that good in the run game, played a lot of off-man and only had 3 picks his entire career.  So you're banking on him rising to his potential.  Wiggins - he's hot/cold, has the size and some injury concerns.  It's just a big crop of different guys.  I've read mixed reviews on Lassiter and will be honest, don't know much on Rakestraw.   You look a little further on the boards, and I think the Max Melton and Dru Philips types seem just as exciting at around the 3rd round.   This will all be about what the board presents.  Looking at the prospects themselves, their production, consistency, accolades, word about their character/IQ, and how it seemed they fit in on their team (i.e. Mike S. being defensive captain & his team's voted MVP), that can tell a lot about success at the next level when all factored in together.
