That is all.

Lol. With all the OL issues, I don't think so

Not with our deep pass play calling over a running game that takes the pressure off of Darnold. The results for Seattle are not indicative of what we could have expected from a KOC called offense.

Absolutely not. Our poor Oline play, lack of defensive depth and inconsistency running game takes us out of any post season success not to mention winning the superbowl. We are at least two years out of sniffing the big dance.
Very happy for Sam.

SEA had a 3rd and long early and they ran it up the middle then punted the ball away. I was thinking as I watched it, wish KO had done more of that at the end of last year. With the obvious caveat being Seattle's defense is much better than ours was. Same goes for special teams really.

Sadly no, it could not have been us. If we'd signed Sam for 3-4 more years; maybe. Sigh. Hopefully next year is our year.

SO...given just how young and out of his depth Maye looked, I actually gained more optimism about JJM.

Yeah, he still needs to do ALL the things to get his mechanics, awareness, judgement, etc improved...while bulking up...but Maye looked VERY young and lost out there. That same wide-eyed look has been on all of the "2024 QBs" at one point or another.

I can say that I believe our kid would've done at least as well, likely better, than the Pats' QB our (former) FO and coaches were all swooning about. Take a breath, folks, our young'un is just one of several that will be working things out....

Also Seattle is a better team overall. Their defense and play calling made a huge difference

Viking didn’t deserve Sam Darnold, Congratulations Sam!
We had a top defense, One of the top field goal kickers. But I don’t think we had the coaching to get us to the Super Bowl.
Hopefully KOC learned something watching Sam’s journey this year.
