Jets will probably trade up with New England or Jacksonville and take Sanders

I’ll just say this since I turned this off before the half.

This is not the way I wished Harrison Smith’s career to end. I remember watching that dude play at ND right when I finished high school. I’m getting old haha.

But ya future HOF for him. Dude was a blast to watch over the last decade +

They should leave Darnold in Arizona because he never showed up to begin with

He has already stated he won’t play for a different team. And it was already kind of up in the air on if he was going to return this year.

Now insiders are saying the team wants to get much younger and athletic in the secondary (which im not against).

So ya most were expecting this playoff run was going to be it for him.

i feel bad for sam darnold, he can play better than this. we've seen it all year

sometimes the lights of the big stage are too bright for some and darnold might be one of them. i hope he finds a decent situation next year and bounces back from this

The sad thing is that the Rams didn't even play that well offensively (2/10 on 3rd down; 16 first downs; 5 punts). This was a winnable game for the Vikings and they just didn't show up to play. I picked the Rams to win, but thought it would be a more competitive game, this was a total choke job.

This is just another in a series of terrible playoff performances by the Vikings. They had a couple with Zimmer and now O'Connell gets two.

They bet big on McCarthy. For their sake, it better work out.

I honestly think what's happening in southern California has given The Rams extra motivation and they wanted it more. Darnold was also holding the ball too long

Rams are going to need to play a whole lot better on offense if they want any chance against the Eagles. Saquon ran wild on them last time.

One more pro Harrison Smith post haha.

Smith is the same age as Earl Thomas and just 1 year younger than Kam Chancellor.

Earl Thomas was a semi finalist for the HOF this year…
And Kam Chancellor has been out of the league for 7 years.

I know Kam had neck issues. But just goes to show the kind of longevity Smith has had. Dude was a blast to watch
