Motown Bombers Posted January 14 Posted January 14 The Rams are doing this quick game to the perimeter like the Lions did, and it doesn't work against this defense. Quote

Just another example of Lion management's vision.... But after his big mouth, mock the guy...🤣🤣 IIRC, I was pretty okay with it. He is a good TE, but he wasn’t worth what the Vikings paid for him. I’ll take the 2nd round pick that ultimately turned into Brian Branch over paying Hock. And LaPorta is as good as Hock, if not better. Quote

lordstanley Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Punting, even on 4th and 21, is giving up. If Darnold had thrown it away instead of getting sacked they could at least have tried a field goal. Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 14 Posted January 14 What a melt down from Darnold and KOC the past two weeks. I know Darnold hasn’t been good, but KOC was handing it off like it was a tie game in the first quarter. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Not too many people had the Rams vs. Commanders in the NFC Championship. I wonder if the Rams ever thought they'd be hosting an NFC Championship as a 4 seed. Quote

TP_Fan Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Darnold to the giants makes too much sense. They are too dumb not to sign him. Quote

lordstanley Posted January 14 Posted January 14 (edited) Absolutely no urgency by the Vikings. 61 seconds into this possession they’ve run three plays. Edited January 14 by lordstanley Quote

RatkoVarda Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Joe Buck is just roasting the Vikings. "I assume they know they are down 18" 1 Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 14 Posted January 14 KOC gave up in the 3rd quarter. Just really odd. The season they had and their coach completely quit after their QB was having another rough outting. Coach quitting on you is rare. Quote

Down by 18 is not over in the 3rd quarter of an NFL game. Quote

He has one year left on his contract. It’s extension time. I’m just so surprised what I’ve seen tonight. I thought the rams might win, but this effort by the Vikings is shocking. And then the coach completely shutting down the offense down 18. Not sure. Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 14 Posted January 14 The coach quit. The players didn’t. Yes, Darnold was awful again. But the coach quit. Quote

buddha Posted January 14 Posted January 14 great to see the overrated viqueens lose. also good to see matt stafford win another playoff game! Quote
Sports_Freak Posted January 14 Posted January 14 So of all the games this weekend, the Commanders/Bucs game was the only exciting one. Quote

He did grest with the picks but he traded a #8 overall pick for a 2nd round pick. And at the time, there was no guarantees he would turn that pick into a Branch type player. Very good draft, from the scouting to the actual pick. Quote
