If that's the matchup I honestly think TB wins it.

Not that they played a good team today, but Baker willed them to a win today and made Mike Evans very happy with his record. Darnold has JJ rolling is eyes all night on these over throws

I am just making fun of the 40 different "HOW DUMB ARE WE TO HAVE GOTTEN RID OF MAYFIELD AND DARNOLD???" threads over the course of the season where all these doofuses start chimping out after every good Darnold or Mayfield game. 

I mean, they're both playing a LOT better away from Carolina. Kinda like the dude that's been divorced multiple times and his exes are all in happy long-term relationships. Like bro, I don't think it's a them problem...

Darnold can not play from behind. Bet he will throw a pick because he can’t help playing hero ball. 

Some of the play calling wasn't helping him. A big 58 yd run got them close to the goal line and then they called four unsuccessful pass plays.

The person who was in charge when they were here wasn't exactly Coach of the Year

Baker is a gamer. Always has been. Darnold is a very physically talented panicker. Always has been. You have to protect Darnold from himself and the Vikings' OC failed miserably at that tonight. They ran the ball very effectively in the rare occasion they did run it but he just kept putting everything on Darnold's shoulders like he had a 1st ballot HOFer at QB. It was honestly baffling to watch.

I think O'Connell really believes in his turnaround of Darnold.

Yeah, exposed themselves for the first playoff game for no reason in the process. An away game at that. Crazy to think these guys get paid this much and spend 12 hours a day working and can choke on situations so obvious

Maybe tonight will show him that he still has to protect Darnold from Darnold. I mean, damn... when you're running at a 7ypc clip I don't care if you have Joe Montana at QB. RUN the fuging ball!

Kinda like the Falcons today. Honestly they win comfortably if they had simply scrapped every play in their playbook that wasn't a power run to the right. NFL coordinators just outsmart themselves a lot. The first rule is always that if you're doing something and it's working keep doing that thing until they stop it. If you don't then you're your opponent's best weapon. They might still be racking up yards down there in Arthur's Anus just running student body right over and over and over again.

I think with the Falcons the offensive strategy worked, I just don't think they were prepared for us to get a TD on almost every possession. More of a clock management chess match

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's mostly me. I came into the season basically believing he was not ever going to be the guy but with a little bit of wait and see. It didn't take long of me seeing before I saw he was the same guy he has largely always been. Maybe in some future scenario 3-5 years from now he is confident enough to be a decent NFL QB. I don't really want to be the team waiting for that to happen. Let his 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever team be the ones that figure it out.

      Naw let him get to Tampa and crack his old fragile body with Radsom or Trey M I’d love to see him get rocked by this raw defense. He’s a fool thinking he would leave us for greener pastures I’m glad it played out this way should’ve stayed loyal to the ones who really wanted you.

      And a legitimate question to ask is what does this offense look like once Bryce is off his rookie contract? How is that offensive line going to look? We have a ton of money invested up front and that is 100% unsustainable with Bryce making starting QB money. Icky and Moton are going to be 50m per season plus the guards at 32 and possibly Mays at 6-8 if we're lucky. Add in Bryce and that's 125m just on those 6 players if we tried to keep them all. It's just not doable.  So then the real question IMO becomes, if we spent the money on our OL, and less on a QB, would the outcome be that much different? I haven't seen Bryce elevate the offense enough by himself on a consistent basis to warrant the contract we would have to give him, not to mention the players we would have to give up, based on the accelerations of the bonuses as I understand them, would likely include Icky.
