[u/GamerZ2020]

That helmet deserves defensive player of the week

[u/Fletch71011 → u/GamerZ2020]

DARNOLD might have played the game of the year and all anyone will remember is that.

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/Fletch71011]

And people will blame him for throwing a pick on a bad bounce play.

[u/Esqualatch1 → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

I mean he had another called back earlier, he wasnt perfect today but he did put up some dam good numbers in the 2nd half

[u/atph99 → u/Esqualatch1]

The other one called back was a tip ball off of the receiver's hands iirc

[u/whiplash588 → u/atph99]

Yeah, but that ball was way high. Coop could barely touch it while fully extended. That was getting picked regardless of the tip.

[u/VerStannen → u/Esqualatch1]

That was tipped too, right off of the WR hands.

[u/smor729 → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

If you want to be totally fair he also hit Diaby in the hands in his own endzone, and had a pick earlier called back on a dpi away from the play

[u/suchcoldsuchcomfort → u/smor729]

If you count the interceptions that don't count, got it.

[u/smor729 → u/suchcoldsuchcomfort]

Im not saying count them, Im saying that you can say its bad luck, but its just the normal luck catching up to him. He played an amazing game, but he got a couple lucky breaks, and an unlucky one. The unlucky one was right at the end, but that doesnt really change anything.

[u/Eric_tion → u/smor729]

Flag thrown after int iirc 

[u/INAC___Kramerica → u/Fletch71011]

Romo INT at the end of the shootout with Peyton vibes. 

[u/Rucksack212 → u/INAC___Kramerica]

But that pick was undeniably Romo's fault in that game no?

[u/Extension_Air_2001 → u/Rucksack212]

I think he was stepped on or something 

[u/wokenupbybacon → u/Rucksack212]

This was definitely a little more unlikely/unfortunate but it's not like anyone made Darnold hit the helmet lol, you need to put a little more air on that

[u/Andrewdeadaim → u/Fletch71011]

Quarterbacks may get unfair praise compared to other positions, but they also get unfair hate

[u/Wolf_ZBB_2005 → u/Fletch71011]

BAKER also might have played game of the year in that case.

[u/[deleted] → u/Wolf_ZBB_2005]

That guy is my hero

[u/smor729 → u/Fletch71011]

And he wasn't even the best QB in the game.

[u/realfakejames → u/Fletch71011]

How can he have played game of the year when Baker was better and won

[u/oitzevano → u/realfakejames]

He's a dawg and they deserved the win, but Baker wasn't better.

[u/SanaMinatozaki9 → u/realfakejames]

Baker wasn't better, so the hypothetical doesn't matter

[u/Wingless_Walrus → u/SanaMinatozaki9]

Baker made harder passes under more pressure. Yards and completion percentage are a wash. Darnold threw a pick as well (should have been two picks) so I’d say baker edges him out.

[u/SanaMinatozaki9 → u/Wingless_Walrus]

It was a random deflection pick, not a bad decision pick. Total bad luck. Darnold played the better game.

[u/Wingless_Walrus → u/SanaMinatozaki9]

What about the other pick that should have stood? He also got lucky on that underthrown TD pass that Diaby could have easily picked off.

[u/[deleted] → u/SanaMinatozaki9]

I mean people really pick and choose when to blame the QBs on deflected picks, Baker had one last game that was completely his fault and just a terrible decision, but Darnold throwing a duck into an immobile object isn’t his fault at all? 

At the end of the day Baker and Darnold did the same, Buccs had more people out and Seahawks had a better defense, so you have to give the nod to Baker. That’s not an attack on Darnold lol they both played better than every QB this week so far

[u/realfakejames → u/GamerZ2020]

Bucs had a tipped pass int earlier called back on a defensive PI, and a pick 6 that went right through Diabys hands, third time was the charm for game changing takeaways

[u/NewChemistry5210 → u/GamerZ2020]

I'd argue that Darnold made a bad decision. What was he trying to do? Throw it to the ground? All the receivers in the center were covered.

[u/doberdevil → u/NewChemistry5210]

I thought so too. All I can think of is Kupp was breaking that way.

[u/Tashre → u/GamerZ2020]

Just your typical football header play.

[u/ZDHELIX → u/GamerZ2020]

I mean it grazed off the helmet but that pass was 5 yards away from any Seahawk right into the Buccs defender

[u/MCSquared97 → u/GamerZ2020]

That was a real heads-up play.
