The problem is it was in the script for us to lose. Jokes aside I feel confident in Sam Darnold. We had that game easy if he just brought the ball down 2ft in all his missed passes. He's clutched up in so many moments in so many games I still have faith. He's played so well he was bound to have an off day at some point. SKOL VIKINGS

Yes watch Kevin O'Connell implement the short game, either protect him for long passes are screen pass or get the ball out quick.... I mentioned to Kevin O'Connell that we need to do a Tom Brady once in awhile and get that ball out
Yes you have a hawk and jaylen nailer for the short game, and JJ and Jordan for long balls. This should be a recipe for destroying other teams but Sam buckled under pressure and probably the most pressure he had all year
Having watched the Cardinals for years living here in Arizona, Rams fans always show up in large numbers (as do all visiting teams at Glendale) during the regular season. The same holds true for other L.A. teams in other sports when visiting Arizona. I expect it to be mostly Rams fans but with a good amount of VIkings fans too, people who moved here as well as snowbirds who are visiting for Winter. Plus it's an easier trip for Rams fans to come to Arizona and get away from the fire situation too.
I think Sam Darnold will be fine. He’s a proven leader marching down the field the week before having his best game in his career the week before so I believe he’s going to bounce back. Had his bad game got rid of the nerves. Has his weapons in his receivers and running with Jones. Need everyone to do their job hold on the line and play very tough defense. KOC is an excellent coach and has no doubt talked through it all with Sam Darnold letting him know that he’s led this team all season to a 14-3 record, knows he’s capable of getting the job done, and believes in him. I think we’ll see a very different Vikings team this Monday! And beat the Rams! I believe; #SKOL 💜
Although it was only 1 game, I can't help but question whether or not Darnold can compete on the big stage. Yes, a 14 win season was certainly amazing and unexpected but I might have been able to throw to Addison on those 2 plays and don't. forget the overthrow to Jefferson on another occasion. That's a potential 21 points and a ton of momentum. I am hoping for the 14 win Darnold to show up Monday BUT and its a big BUT, how do you not see those open receivers? Do you have trouble seeing the field or did the Lions just make him uncomfortable in the pocket? McVeigh is going to bring the heat as well. Good luck to the Vikings but for the reasons stated above, my confidence is 5/6 on the sliding scale. Hoping for Packers and Commanders to win so we could have a potential game in Minnesota.
I think what would’ve helped during that game is DB’s grabbing a lot no calls I mean come on if you wanna make a fair call the rules away there written
As a lifetime Vikings Fan My confidence level on Sam is required to be at minimum an 8 to give our team a chance to win. Seems KOC's offense is super dependent upon the QB to make the correct reads with split second decision making and extremely accurate throws into small windows. I think it would be extremely beneficial to establish the run game early and stick with it as well as utilizing a heavy motion disguised short passing game to settle Darnold down, getting him comfortable in the pocket and slowing the pass rush.
7 only because of his inability to move faster and throw accurately out of the pocket. It seems his accuracy is far higher than outside the pocket. The OFFENSE line needs to protect him.
Playoffs are way different than regular season. It's not about positive or negative. It's facts. Darnold crumbled. Now he has to prove in the playoffs he can handle the pressure--else dump him. We don't need another Cousins, who had great stats and failed playoff games.
Dan Orlovsky floated the idea that the Browns now need to part with either the 2nd overall pick or Myles Garrett for JJ given that Watson just had a 2nd surgery on his Achilles. I would definitely take the 2nd overall pick and either draft Hunter or trade the pick to another QB needy team for multiple 1st round picks!
Really?!? Ridiculous to believe that he’d be paid off, it’s reality, who paid him off? Oh, right, no one! Conspiracy theories are just nonsense. Respectfully.
Confidence in Sam Darnold is a 8 out of 10. I think he can bounce back to the level close to what he played most of the season. One flawed game in a rare occasion is probably normal unless you are a Tom Brady quarterback.
I totally agree with your take! I felt sick to my stomach watching Vikings play their asses off against Detroit while understanding one position, our quarterback, totally sabotaged our chances of winning. I’m NOT ripping Sam because I like the guy. I’m just aware of Sam’s psychological makeup. Darnold looked terrified against the Lion’s. If a “quiet-minded” Sam leads our team against the Rams, we WIN!
As a Vikings fan, I see it as the Lions were the better team that dictated the way Sam Darnold played, the Lions pressured him enough that even when he wasn't pressured , he played already flustered. I had mentioned in another post that ,to me, Sam Darnold was trying too hard to prove that he isn't the player that he was labeled to be that he played like the player he's labeled to be.
I hope they beat the Rams because I want to see a third game against the lions. I just don’t know if they can beat the rams. I’m predicting a close game.
Show the proof of this conspiracy theory nonsense please! I don’t believe if they tried to that the integrity of KOC & Darnold would ever entertain this nonsense but expose the league if it’s fixed. If you have the proof then show it or stop spreading misinformation conspiracy theories. It’d take a lot more “fixed” games for that to happen too you realize it was the last regular season game not the NFC championship. Why watch sports if you believe that this is what truly happened. You could see how rattled Sam Darnold was from the beginning. Nothing was going right. There were opportunities missed that had them right in the game to the end. He had a bad game; the first of the season. It happens, they have outdone the expectations by a lot & aren’t done yet. Respectfully.
Missing 1 or 2 of those passes maybe, it almost looked like they were trying lose the game, I'm not sure what was going on, but that was not the same team that we have seen this season! Even the 2 losses they weren't making miss reads like they did against the Lions just saying
That horrible game should motivate them to recover,Rams are good but no Detroit Stafford is good enough to win this if they don’t play there best,being in Arizona will be a positive so this is it do or die break out the trick plays if you have to
The scary truth is they come up short every year. Darnold needs to go. The should develop Daniel Jones and JJ. They disappoint the fans every year. That's why the sports reporters don't want to ever mention them. They even know the vikes will find a way to lose.
Iv pointed it out before and will again, our Vikings never faced a actual good team aside from Lions which they lost twice too. They simple arent the team you thought they were. Getting rid of Sam would be a greeat start!
I can’t see Sam Donald winning the Super Bowl. He plays with fear and the other team can sense it. Adding to that the Vikings have a weak and soft head coach. The head coach has to get mean to his players, if he wants to win. KOC doesn’t know how to win. The head coach has to put fear into his players when they make a mistake. Every time they make a mistake the head coach should be in the players face when they come to the side line. Correct his players so they don't do the same thing over and ove. That’s how the head coach saves and keeps his job. The head coach shouldn’t just hope his players get the job done, but demand his players get the job done. The head coach is trying to save his job and win games.
If you’re going to put Daniel Jones on your active roster, you have to put him immediately, when the signs of Sam Donald struggle. Matt Stafford is going to kill the defense once he gets a two touchdown lead. I doubt it though KOC will do that, because he weak and soft. He doesn’t know how to win games.

It's a great thing no home-field advantage for either team
It’ll be a “Vikings home game”. They always are in AZ. So many Minnesotans out here.
Ironic, the Stadium named after State Farm who just left a lot of LA folks out in he cold by pulling their house insurance before the fire hit….

Calling on the short game here we go Vikings fans.. get the ball out quick sucker men for the long balls to the boys
SKOL!!! LET'S GO VIKINGS ✊🏼
SKOL!! 🏈💜💛
Remember Jim pluncket with the Raiders? Wild Card SB winners with his great recovery season back around 1980? Same scenario as Sam Darnold!
My level of confidence in Sam is a 10 he will bounce back. Detroit game he was throwing flat footed causing over and under throws to his targets
Wonder if his foot was bothering from the game before. Looked like he tweaked it in the previous game.
New QB activated
9 He can do it.
SKOL TO THE BOWL!!

It's not just Sam. Vikes can't put away teams, they always let them back in it.
Would, coulda, shoulda...onto Monday night let's go Vikings...SKOOOOOOOOL, do the Rams have the mafia in town tho😢
They did in Detroit
@G-BONE that's what I'm saying🤕😷🤒

Vikings require the offensive line to step up and protect Sam The Vikes also require quick-out passes
Almost half the time Darnold requires 4 seconds to throw the ball that's asking to much of the OL.Hes got to get rid of the ball quicker
Darnold was paid off
I was just getting ready to post the same thing😂😂😂

The OL's performance was poor also. That was a big factor in Darnold's play albeit not the sole reason for sure.
The scary truth with the vikings is in the big games in prime time they don't play very well.

He’s not worth $40 million and now we don’t have to worry about Vikings keeping Sam Donald. Let him walk.

Darnold got them this far.
I think he choked
First

He displayed what he's shown the first 6 years of his career.
3 is all Darnold gets
I think the Rams will sack him 5-6 times. The Rams will beat the Vikings just like earlier this year.
Sam Donald sucks.
rams got this
Same old scenario with the Vikings the team that couldn’t catch or throw straight.
