Week 16 NFL

[gunnarthor]

Mariota has had a nice little career as a back up after being a failed starter. I think Tua could be a really good back up, someone who can energize an offense for a few games in thy right spot but not for a full year. But I suspect he still thinks he should be a #1. I don't think he's a fit here but will be interesting to see how this plays out. The lack of quality QBs and injuries are going to be huge factors for guys like him and Murray.

Is something wrong with Darnold? Unbelievable they won’t throw the ball.

The Rams are his kryptonite

[Aggies7]

Just an absolutely classic Darnold pick 6 in a big game against the Rams on a really bad pass

Like a dance from Fiddler on the Roof or something?

Unless he was wearing some specific cultural clothing, I can't fathom how anyone could convey some kind of Jewish appropriation with a touchdown dance.

He was rubbing his hands together in a stereotypical “money grubbing” manner, which we kind of know what that refers to, The other guy on the podcast, who is Jewish, showed him how to do it and said he should do a TD dance that included the hand rubbing bit. But it’s unclear if Puka even knew what it meant, the video doesn’t show what was said before. Honestly he might just be an idiot. Between this and the live streaming practice thing, he seems to be going down the Antonio brown route. I don’t know what happens to these receivers. Some just go nuts at some point and you can’t get them back

Alright, yeah I admit it now I was wrong. I wanted Darnold back but he is still curling into the fetal position against the Rams. He hasn't been good for a couple of weeks now when it's crunch time. He's Kirk Cousins 2.0

Really incredible how the rams are just in his head, or do they just have the game plan 

[Vanimal46]

Stafford is filthy. My god, a no look pass on the goal line? You can count on 1 hand who can pull that off.

[Aggies7]

Another one from Darnold yikes 

[Vanimal46]

Goal line INT for Darnold. Oof. Makes me want to find Seahawks Daily and post this gif...

[Mike Sixel]

I may have mentioned he was turning into a pumpkin at the bar tonight. Not sure the waiter was amused. 😁

This was always the scary thing and why those last two games left such a bad taste. Would he wilt again when the money is down and you get these late season big games? Is he just a big game choker?

At the risk of getting labeled the same, I doubt I would have made that connection. NFL players have been doing money related celebrations for ever. Seems like it's pretty standard stuff to convey "I'm a gansta!". Not criticizin', just recognizin'

But I didn't see it or hear it and don't plan on Googling it so maybe there was additional context.

Kickoff TD for Seattle. They have life...

Yeah, for sure.

But I'm not liking the Seattle fans. They started booing him way too early. Classless.

I have an annoying 49er fan friend who thinks they’re getting the one seed and winning the Super Bowl at home. Really pulling for the Rams here

[Vanimal46]

Is this the best season in Stafford's career? Keep in mind this the year of the short field, and 4k passing yards are no longer a given when he started his career. I've always loved his toughness and grit on some terrible Detroit teams. 

[Aggies7]

Rams offense quick 3 and out 

[Aggies7]

Man the rams better get a TO the hawks are on a run baby

49ers are getting by on a cupcake schedule. The Rams are the team to beat... The only other NFC team I felt had that title was Green Bay but not anymore after Parsons tore his ACL.

[Aggies7]

Did we bury Darnold too soon 

[Vanimal46]

I'll be damned. Darnold deep ball makes this a 2 pt game currently...

Yeah they have like two impressive wins by 7 total points. I don’t think they’re even close to LA in terms of talent. Maybe not even Seattle 

[Vanimal46]

What are we reviewing here? 

[Aggies7]

Boy this better not be overturned

Backwards pass 

[Aggies7]

Damn it’s definitely a backwards pass . That’s unreal 

[Vanimal46]

I don't think I've ever seen that before in any football game

[Aggies7]

I think LA thought this game was ovah. As did I
