Caleb Williams is a playmaker, I am not sure you can say the same about Darnold.

I haven't seen Darnold play much. Besides bad systems, are there things in his game that lead to turnovers ?

If you're looking for negatives, you can always find some:

1) Daboll, even with a weak QB, started to find some weaknesses in the BFlo defense.

2) Center is a problem, and does Darnold have a slow delivery that can lead to his getting hit when throwing?

3) Could use a power back to team with Jones

4) IF things do get lined up for the Vikings this season, it is probably unfortunate they don't line up with a McCarthy in his prime, as it is likely to end up feeling like a wasted season.

5) The Vikings need a DL (Dexter Lawrence) for their DL

6) It seemed like the Giants made adjustments to Darnold, to where it became hard for him to put the game away. This will lead to losses against better teams.

7) Punter

He wasn't today. They won in spite of him. The defense won the game.

Like how we don't full-out attack once the game is over?

Guessing the MCL injury is hurting Marty’s over on the Packers bet.

Love is out 3-6 weeks.

I don't mind looking for nitpicks but the Giants offense was a turd the entire day.

14 0f 29 for 93 yards and 0 TDs...

Caleb may very well GROW into a playmaker... but he ain't there yet.

Don't rule out the bears ruining him either... they are amazingly good at that.

His decision making was actually very good. But his accuracy was a total mess. So many balls either in the dirt or over guys heads.

I hope the Bears ruin him, or he proves to be inaccurate.

Caleb's college highlights were fun to watch, but JJ McCarthy is the QB I want to see making pro highlights and winning Super Bowls.

Phil, I bet the Packers over 7 1/2 LAST year, and WON !!!

I didn't bet any over/unders this year, but I still might bet one.

Before any games were played, I liked the overs on Las Vegas (6 1/2), Tampa Bay (7 1/2), and the LA Rams (8 1/2). I no longer like the Raiders over.

NFL is so weird week to week even.

LA is giving Detroit a game. Lots of teams play Zimm ball. I love having an easier win for once. Hope it continues.
