Oof

Sam Darnold has turned into Sam Darnold.

This is true.

He was the beneficiary of having a great team and a great situation, great offense and really good coach.

But he’s turned back into a pumpkin.

Skinsinparadise can sleep at night again, all's right in the world, washington is a playoff team and darnold sucks once more. 😆

I actually thought the Vikings had a chance in this game.

Ah SIP.

McVay knew last week he wasn’t going to be afraid of Darnold. That’s why they honestly didn’t try to win their finale and gave up the 3 seed. They honestly didn’t care who they played.

Because Darnold is Darnold.

The probably would prefer playing Darnold on a 14 win team than Daniels.

True but at the time there was still a possibility of having to face the lions.
Don't see any way that's the better matchup but Mcvay is looking like he made a good choice at this moment.

When Darnold said he was seeing ghosts, we mocked him. But he saw Case Keenum, the ghost of Vikings Castoff QB Future.

Darnold sucks and my team lost to him twice.

 

[NickyJ]

I can't believe they deactivated Danny Dimes for this.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

Darnold sucks and my team lost to him twice.

Both are factually correct statements

 

[NickyJ]

Fun fact: In 2018, Case Keenum's last game with the Vikings, he threw one 25 yard TD to Kyle Rudolph, his tight end. Sam Darnold just completed a 26 yard TD to TJ Hockensen, his tight end.

I think that's the last TD of the night for him.

There was no freaking way the Vikings were going to beat the Lions.

I think McVay took a bit of a gamble, but he was betting they’d get Darnold and he was fine with that.

If he ended up getting us or the Lions, so be it, they’d be well rested

That’s the worst personal foul call I’ve ever seen. If he touched Darnold’s head, it was like a butterfly landing on a flower. My goodness.

 

[DogofWar1]

The people who said we wanted Tampa and not the Rams were very right.
