He's been awesome this yr.

Spent a yr working with Kyle Shanahan and it's changed his career.
Is it sustainable though? Especially if he ends up somewhere next year with an offense outside the Shanahan tree.

Really good coaches matter, no matter what the drunken GM of the Cowboys thinks.

Kinda want Washington to lose tonight so they have something to play for next week.


As it turns out, even with the win they will have something to play for.

If they lose to us, they'll be the 7th seed and have to go to Philly to play their wildcard game. if they win (or Green Bay loses to Chicago, which is highly unlikely) then they'll play at LA Rams or possibly Tampa Bay.

They nearly blew the game after dominating for essentially 55 mins but I watched this game after our debacle. Hadn't seen them any all yr but the Vikes are sort of a fun team to watch. Brian Flores has done an awesome job with their defense, also feel good for Stephon Gilmore and I'd take Sam Darnold for what he makes every day of the week over this turd Prescott.

I think I'd like to see an 0-for Super Bowl Vikes vs an 0-for Super Bills. If it works out that way, I might break down and watch. Otherwise don't give two shits and won't watch.

I guess it could be worse if we were Jets fans?

Oh, and Rex Ryan says he is interviewing for the HC job too (not kidding)

Horrendous throw by Rush, as Mingo runs a good route and beats the coverage. Probably a TD if Rush throws it over Mingo's inside shoulder.

He never looks to his right, but the WR at the bottom (Cooks I think) ends up beating his man too, and he had the single coverage.

Zoners pissing their diapers over next weekend's game saying "arrghhhaaahhhh we will win the game and lose draft position because Washington has nothing to play for!!!!!"

"Washington will play backups and we will win!!!!!"

First off, we won last time and they played their starters. Second, maybe they should read the interwebs before acting like little fucking pussies.

Never been a Darnold believer, so I'm going to have to see it again next year before I buy in.
Agree 110%. Not buying into the Darnold hype either. He was awful at his previous teams. He's just having a Cinderella season as Minnesota.
You mean Rush?
Lol. I do that ALL the time. Thinking Rush & typing Moore!

He played for two clusterfuck organizations with NYJ and Carolina. He was good at USC prior to being a NYJ.

He spent a year with Kyle Shanahan and now is in a good system with quality talent around him in Minnesota. Is he Josh Allen or Joe Burrow? Hell no. But he has had a great yr and when seeing him the other day (along with various highlights from his season) he's throwing the ball pretty damn well.

I'd take him in a heartbeat over #4

By comparison, Dowdle has outperformed what Pollard did for us in 2023 and is right on top of (and better in yds per attempt) what Pollard did for the Titans this yr (238 carries, 1017 yds, 4.3 yds per carry, 5 TDs (none receiving) and a lkng carry of 41 yards. Dowdle is a fraction of the cost of Pollard. One of the few personnel decisions the Cowboys got right (even it were by default)
