 Why ?

Its exceedingly rare these days for someone to get reported with a concussion, and be back in the game the next week.

PJ is 3-15 for 33 yards.  NE better watch out for the juggernaut if Sam can't go.

Back to the basics did wonders for Sam. Get better because I want to beat NE.

Sam being on the field won't make a lick of difference. The gameplan this game was hoping we can successfully run the ball enough to make him a non-factor. Don't know if that will work against a better Patriots defense. 

The offense is still heavily limited by Sam.

If he starts we are running the ball 60 times.

PJ is the most erratic passer in the league and if we can’t convert 3rd downs like we did today we don’t stand a snowballs chance in hell.

I was impressed with Abdullah today . He ran hard and can catch out of the backfield . Hubbard ran hard as well but does not  do as well catching the ball . I was also impressed with Darnald today but he can't stay healthy running as much as he did today .  He laid it all out for the win .

Sam actually threw the ball fairly well today.  But for a couple of critical drops, the end result might have been a little more lopsided.  He still has a ton of work to do to be a decent consistent QB, but we will miss him if he is out.

Exactly.  With Sam, there is a chance of converting 3rd downs (I think they went 7 of 11, i believe?) in crucial situations.

With PJ, there is a chance of going 0 for a billion.

 

Sam may not be the future QB here but he's still an actual legitimate NFL QB in comparison to Mr. XFL himself PJ Walker.

I was really happy to see how Sam was playing today.  Playing in the plays, not doing stupid things.  His feet looked better, calmer.  It really helped to run the ball effectively, and we're going to have to live and die by that the rest of the season.

I will say this: Sam has guts.  Running power like that, constantly running and making plays when guys aren't open to convert downs.  He also played well despite his guys continually letting him down with drops.

He has plenty of issues, but Sam played well today.  It's not enough to overcome the bad games, but he just needs to keep playing this this today: under control.

Well let's just hope he first finds a way to recover 'cause concussions are no joke.

If heart was the main ingredient in getting victories, Darnold's game today would be a good recipe for success...

Because he always lives on the negative side of life

Worked today.
