I feel bad for Sam

No mention of the first play of the game huh? Also no mention of the fact our special teams scored as many points as his offense through 3 full quarters? Hey great final drive but maybe try doing more than throwing picks and fumbling the ball for most of the game next time. We play like trash at home. If we are going to feel bad for anyone it should be the fans who sat through that game.

Sam was awful yesterday as well. 

They're calling it six drops (eight by ESPN) yesterday and that's a damned conservative estimate. 

And that first pick was no one getting open and then Robby didn't even contest the ball. He should have just thrown it to the sidelines, but damn, the receivers sure didn't do any hard work on coming back to him.

It was a bad, bad day for Sam, but too throw that whole pile of poo on his back isn't right.

problem is the staff got their expectations on the team way too high. that pressure falls on Sam Darnolds shoulders, which is a bit unfair.  He needs time to find his rhythm with this team just like anyone else.  Hes not getting a whole lot of help.  Oline, WR, OC have been as bout as terrible as it gets.  His only glimmer of hope, watches from IR.

Robby Anderson has been horrible.  

On the year, his collective receiving options have not been horrible.   Just one guy. 

but as noted this offseason, Sam has always had a poor rate of success when throwing at Robby.  Dates back to NY.  It has never been a good connection (despite what the rare deep ball highlight might suggest).

Yep, I'm still not giving up on Sam yet.  Our WRs were complete arse yesterday.  Hell, they made Ian Thomas look good!  Blocking was horrible per normal and while Chuba is a decent reserve back he's not a RB1.  Dude has nothing to work with here.  Our strength was supposed to be our weapons around Darnold.  CMC is out for a total of 6 weeks and our WR1 an WR2 couldn't get open nor could catch a cold at the north pole in the dead of winter going skinny dipping.

Moore has had the dropsies as well.  I think they need to spreading the ball around to some of the other guys. Shi Smith is fast.  dont get me started on that end around to the TE.  Huge face palm.

    • I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken. 
    • Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).
    • Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
