Hope we have our future like Washington does. Done dinking around with Darnold.
You mean Kirk.....Sam is likely here one year and did just fine. Expectations are higher but it was one game he struggled in.
You mean Kirk. You’ve just transferred your bottomless QB standards to Sam.
One game. 
(you see, when I do that it signifies boisterous laughter with a hint of disbelief; when you do it, it looks like Jim Carrey’s Fire Marshall Bill)
It was a one-out-of-one situation … playing in a critical playoff type atmosphere.
Hopefully, Sam comes back with a vengeance tonight.
When he kneels down in the first huddle, I’d like to see the other ten dudes pop him whack-a-mole style on top of his helmet, reverse engineer the spinning stars inside his head.
Even Kirk competed, to a point.
More like all the years of Kirk we are spilling into Sam's one game is more what I meant...
3-4 bad passes
It was way more than 3-4 bad passes.....he was 12-29 at one point. He had 7 bad passes in the first 2 red zone trips. He was throwing uncatchable passes. That being said the years have Kirk have giving him a short leash...the short leash you would have given to Kirk is the same Sam now has.
3-4 bad passes.
What was Sam's QBR or QB rating if he only had 3-4 bad passes? Ill look it up and copy the link.
If I look for QBR settings he was 30th; he beat out Will Levis. He was so bad he was about 6th going into the final game---he dropped to 14th for the season after the game.

Hard to complete a pass when you are getting hit. Sacked twice and 10 more hits. A quarterback can only do so much.
I like how some of you think the game of football is so damned easy. Phil probably couldn't throw a ball 20 yards.
My max is about 40 yards in my 50s....but I wasn't the one saying 3-4 bad passes.
3-4 bad passes. The rest were timing plays thrown off by a big pass rush.
Off night? Yes. Lets not get hyperbolic.
Brad find one poster, person, or link on the internet that agrees with your opinion. It will take you a while to create a dummy account to agree with you. 
OK, from what I have seen of this disagreement, I mostly agree with Brad. Darnold had a few passes that were off by enough to lose the completion early on. What I saw through out the game was the failure of our receivers to get open. Whether getting out played by the secondary, or poor choices in play calling, I don't know. But I being a person on the internet am inclined to hold the receiver corp at least half responsible.
I will agree I thought Lions secondary played outstanding... played physical and Vikes WRs need to adjust.
HOWEVER, here is a clip of just missed TD opportunities...

Far more than "a few" passes.
For whatever reason, had a really rough night.
Needs to be better in the playoffs.
Hope he got the bad games out of his system and it's smooth sailing from here.
