ORIGINAL: Brad H Without getting too deep into analysis, that was a very poor night for one Kevin O'Connell. Perhaps the worst coached football games I've seen for the Vikings since the Les Steckel era. It was one bad decision after another. Anything to gloss over Darnold duplicating Josh Freeman's efforts to launch footballs into outer space. Darnold did not play well, but he was not put in a position to succeed. He misfired on some passes in the opening half. The play-calling was brutal. They are sending the house. There is no time to run a 25-to-30-yard pattern. We got so impatient and kept going away from a running game that was working. He misfired on some passes... Sorry, I couldn't retype the sentence you actually wrote. Missed the pass to Hockenson on third and 18. Threw it over Jefferson's head on fourth down (heavy pressure though). Outside of that he had no chance. They kept bringing the house in the second half and nobody was open. Routes were way too deep down the field. Thinking you didn't watch the game. Or went to the frig during the dozen or so red zone plays and, ahem, 'passes' into the end zone. More like into the Outer Limits.
