Burrow fucking rules what are you talking about lol
I'd put him above Allen and Mahomes this year
No QB is perfect, even the best ones. Especially since it's a team sport, and receivers can do things like run bad routes, drop catches. O line can have bad days of protection, RB can miss assignments on blitzes, etc

I blame coaching more than Sam, because you know what you got with Darnold. He's in the same category as Goff, Geno, and Purdy, where if they are protected, they can deliver an accurate ball on time, but if you can get pressure on them, their quality drops dramatically. They are not play extenders, they are not play creators (though Geno and Purdy are a bit better than the first two at this). They're in the tier below Burrow/Mahomes/Allen/And some other QB I can't mention without getting attacked by weird fans. | I still give Darnold a bit more blame, he missed some key throws early that really set the tone for the game and cost them points, throws he was making all year long, it was pretty clear he was rattled. That said, KOC isn't off the hook at all, he should have adjusted his play calling to what Detroit was doing on Defense and it didn't feel like he did that.
JJ and Hockenson also had some drops, lots of blame to go around on the offensive side of the ball. If they play like this next Monday it will be one and done.

I guess my main point is, I saw some people quickly jumping to "Darnold is a fraud" because of one loss. That isn't the case at all. Darnold is a very good QB in a brilliant offensive system. But there will be times where the opponent game plans against them perfectly. That does not erase all his accomplishments until then.
That is another one of those dumb fan things so many people do without thinking.

Let's see
Chargers 35 - Texans 9
Texans are cooked, sorry
Steelers 17 - Ravens 20
This will be an annoyingly tight game with a lot of bad looking offense on both sides, but eventually King Henry will break through with some 4th quarter scoring. Lamar haters will feast but it won't matter.
Broncos 10 - Bills 24
The Broncos are going to be handled by the better team unfortunately.
Packers 24 - Eagles 14
The first big upset of the playoffs. Packers are able to contain Saquon with a stacked box as Jalen is a huge question mark coming back from a concussion
Comandos 44 - Buccaneers 38
Another upset, and a crazy high scoring game that ends in overtime
Vikings 27 - Rams 24
Tough defensive game, but Darnold and Jets have a few splash plays while Stafford struggles at first.
