These DPI penalties are pretty rough to be honest. Most games this year the officials have been letting the DBs play. Not a fan of the ticky tack stuff even though it hurts the Jets.
Yeah if you're watching the game you can see it. Late throws, dangerous passes, inaccurate downfield. They don't need him to be great though. The scheme and the talent are enough.
Darnold has been good enough for what the Vikings need but he is still the one limiting factor they have on offense. Passes outside are getting to the WR a tick late and he's not particularly accurate.
In that case take the FG. The only bad move there is turning over on downs. I see too many coaches these days being overly aggressive in games that don't call for it. Yeah if you're playing the Chiefs you go for it on 4th and 2. Against the New York Octagenarians let the game come to you.
By the way that pick six is the result of a coaching mismatch as much as anything else. Minnesota knew exactly where Rodgers wanted to throw the ball and leaked a defender to that spot at the exact right moment.
Rodgers and Wilson still aren't on the same page on a lot of throws. Rather than work it out, Rodgers prefers to scowl and petition his team to trade for another one of his friends.
