The dreaded C word that plagues us in big games

If the dude with the interception had not done a face-plant, it would be a tie game.

 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Shouldn’t have called timeout with 28 seconds left.

I gotta keep feeding jones especially in the red zone. KOC always abandons the run game. Always.

Nah. That's in the kicker and soft d.

Nah that was the right call. Still had a shot at a first down. Couldn’t run it down too much and settle for 3. Which of course we did anyway 

[gunnarthor]

As bad as we've played, we've been in the red zone three times already. We've left a ton of points out there but we can move on them.

Do not deserve to win this game.

Maybe not yet...

Darnold getting jumpy.  9 for 20.  A few inches from at least two TDs.

Typical Vikings important game play.

[Mike Sixel]

In the plus side, the defense was amazing

On the positive side, it probably won’t take $50 million to bring him back now 😂 the rest of the league is watching too

For sure.  Darnold pulls his game out of his a$$ and we can win this game.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Also Ivan Pace with an amazing Willy Mays catch.

Some people only come here to complain....

Their plan was to have Darnold miss wide open guys?

No line is going to look good if the other team is zero blitzing you every snap.  

The thing is....that's easy to counter punch we just haven't done it.  

But don't blame the line, they got 6-7 guys coming every snap.  They're holding up well.

Saw per Next Gen stats he’s overthrown the receiver on 50% of his throws today. Hasn’t had a game over 22% all season. Complete outlier performance so far.

AND INCHES FROM INT  ALSO, But he gotta settle down

They’re pressuring him and it’s working.

The more you see replays, I can’t say it’s anything great that Detroit is doing. They’ve had a few plays where they’ve beat the offensive line but otherwise the Vikings are running with some success and pumpkin Darnold couldn’t be playing worse

Jefferson is not wide open, but his passes are high.

That's just it.  There are open guys, he's just playing like garbage.

Not blaming the line - Darnold has missed throws all night
