Kevin O’Connell

Clearly does not know what a big game is and how you manage it. His QB can’t hit the broad side of a barn and he throws it three times at the goal line. He runs it on the most obvious play. He is not taking points when points are paramount. NBC keeps putting up this stupid graphic to go for it. 

Darnold is 10/25 and both teams are 1/4 on fourth downs and Goff just air mails it out of his own end zone. 

This game is comically bad. Both teams too small for the moment.  

These big games always turns out to be crap 

10-6 final

@NONEED4LUCK

 I was going to say the same thing. Yes Darnold has been awful but blame has to be put on O'Connell. He has no clue what he is supposed to be doing. He has been very fortunate that Detroit has decided to play with their food.

If you're not happy then turn the channel... just a little thought, mate...

he's trying to out big balls that retarded meathead 

Im watching Garand Thumb on one TV and his trash with the volume off is on another. 

@NONEED4LUCK

 Its a battle of 2 teams familiar with each other.    Perfectly fine game

Great run, what does he do, pass, intentional grounding. 

Where did these guys learn to coach? MIT? Darnold almost throws an INT. JESUS 

@theMatrix24

 It’s like Campbell called him a box in his pregame interview and O’Connell is proving he is not. 

reminds me of the Double Dog Dare scene in A Christmas Story. 

Its the play action that is killing them. Detroit pressure is getting through. As soon as he comes out of the play fake there is 3 lions waiting for him. They need to use quick passes at this point

Should be 15-10. 

I think coaches who never kick FG’s do not trust their defenses. 

29 passes

13 Rushes by RB 7+ yards per rush

31-29  game 1....

ya darnold looks over caffeinated then again when u think about it has there ever been a good red headed qb?

Andy Dalton....

Vikings have more yards per rush than yards per pass attempt. 

@bigred84

 nope doesnt count he had orange hair

The biggest mistake was not taking the 3 pts in a 7-0 game. That led to him feeling like he has to go for it all the other times. Thats what happens it always snowballs. Andy Reid kicks fgs and is vying for a 3rd straight superbowl. Should be 17-15 now. I didnt have a side here but this a league wide problem of coaches going for it too much now. Used to be you could never get them to go for it, now its the wild west. 

@NONEED4LUCK

 You don't like, or appreciate defense I take it?

Campbell has taken a shit in O'Connell's mouth tonight

O'Connell is completely lost at this point

Kinda like chasing his bets. This game is over. You cannot make that many mistakes, on the road, in a game of this magnitude.
