Big games have always been an achilles heal (see 2024)

Sam Darnold's QBR against the Rams yesterday was 45.6 in a loss for the Seahawks. He was 29 of 44 passes for 279 yards, but his performance was marred by four interceptions and no touchdowns.

And Stroud says,  I am the Greatest,  you hold my beer.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

The game plan by McDonald the last two games was smart for Sam, limiting his passing to limit exposure to his mistakes. 

In the season finale and playoff versus San Fran, Darnold threw a combined 43 times with 32 completions.  The team ran the ball 72 times.  The run/pass ratio last night was 2-1, 33-17.  In the first game it was 39-26.

In the 2024 finale at Detroit, Sam was 18/41 while the team ran it 19 times, for a pass/run ratio of 2-1, the opposite of McDonald's method.  A very different way of handling Sam which didn't work out.

This. 

Great post.
