Minnesota has an “OK” defense? They’re top 5 in the league, #1 In takeaways and rush defense. Dude their linebackers are very underrated, criminally almost.

[Loam_Lord]

THEY LITERALLY LOOKED JUSTIN JEFFERSON IN THE FACE LAST OFF-SEASON AND TOLD HIM SAM DARNOLD IS HIS QB. EVERYONE LAUGHED AT THIS. Trust KOC

[motelghost]

Sam Darnold is 27 and some people are talking about moving off him like he's 38.

[willzinc]

Cowherd must feel so good that he finally gets to take that Darnold victory lap when he had been written off by everyone. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[snoworicehockey]

The poise Darnold had on the go ahead drive and bullet 39 yard TD to Jefferson was MVP caliber. His awareness when KOC’s headset went out to call a play where he ran out of bounds near Kevin to get the next play call was unbelievable awareness and calm under pressure.

Colin just says anything, any week. Consistency does not matter

[mattthomas]

FYI the reason Johnson called that play up today was because earlier in the year Jordan Love fumbled a snap that resulted in a long completion to a TE due to how the Bears reacted to it. Like it was literally the same route LaPorta ran. He saw that and asked Goff earlier in the week if he could recover an intetional dropped snap like that and he said he wasn't sure so Johnson pivoted to Goff stumbling and the RB falling down instead. Goff said they had the play called earlier in the game but he didn't like the look on defense so he audibled out of it, this time he liked it and they went with it. Now it just gives teams one more thing to think about in the future.

[HarveyJarrett]

Darnold keeps playing consistently well, probs to him for turning it around. Vikings seem very underrated

[johnnyfmorgan]

Jayden is 4th in the entire league in QBR. Nix is 22nd. There is no ROTY race and hasn't been since week 2.

[industryvince]

The need to tag Sam! Letting him go would be very very very stupid. Let's JJ grow for a few years.

[MikeParker]

"WELCOME TO THE OFFICAL TUUBBBBEEEE PODCAST WHERE WE DONT WATCH GAMES BUT JUST BOX SCORES"

[dantheman]

Darnold was COLD today. That TD throw to Jefferson was on point.

[buddybarlow]

Jayden and guys like Bo is showing that some of these QB's should stay in college longer because they're coming into the NFL so much more prepared man. This recent draft class is unreal

[DJWillyGMPLS]

It’s a good thing Minnesota has great owners and will trust the off season will work itself out

[GoneByDawnSean]

This is Sam's first year in a good program. Imagine how good he'll be next year with O'Connell

[willyjkjordan]

It’s not even close Jayden Daniels is rookie of the year! Bo Nix is okay but 5 is just better!

[RyanM]

I hate being the "what if" guy, but if Devonta doesn't drop the ball, the last drive of that game for Jayden Daniels was a HORRIBLE interception thrown off his back foot into triple coverage

[Recrui]

Uncle Colin and John with the weekly banger 🔥🔥

[SwivelHippie]

I normally agree with your takes but i gotta call you out on some BS. Terry McLaurin is more than a "really good player". Comparing him to JJ or Chase is a pointless exercise, he is more important to Washington than any WR in the league. JD5's QBR is best in the league when targeting Terry, better than any other QB to WR QBR IN THE LEAGUE. Terry leads the league in Target/ Catch ratio, AND in contested catches. And he is a top 5 WR this season. Put some respect on his name as he finally has a QB to throw him the ball. And Bo Nix never surpassed JD for ROY, that is an ignorant statement. And Penix looked mid against a terrible defense with 2 starting CBs out.

[TheJakekeller]

Cowherd wont give Goff any credit for throwing for 300 and 3 TDs in the cold since everyone said he can’t play outside. He can’t stand the Lions being good. Just wants to talk about the Lions running the ball too much.
