Darnold played so bad tonight he basically gave the Pats Defense it’s new Name.

Darnold went 11-of-32 for a career-low 86 yards, was sacked once for a loss of 13 yards and tied a career-high with four interceptions against the NFL's best defense.  This board would be on page 32 of this thread already if Allen had a game like that.... add another 10 pages and 3 separate threads that would need to be shut down on a mic'ed up comment about "seeing ghosts"

THAT was the Darnold I remembered from USC, especially his Junior year. While all the pundits were acting like he was the greatest QB to enter the league since Peyton Manning, I saw a Tony Romo type of QB and ceiling. Romo was my comparison when we were heading towards the draft in 2018.  That's not saying he won't be any good because Tony had a pretty good career, but last night he looked exactly like bad Romo. The pressure rattles him and he makes those wild throws under duress leading to turnovers.

  Darnold was even mic'ed up for this game by ESPN and was caught admitting in the first half that he was "seeing ghosts" in the pocket. It was evident. Darnold threw off his back foot at an alarming rate, sometimes even in a clean pocket. All four of his picks were hideous throws, and two of them were red-zone ducks into the end zone that resulted in easy grabs for the defender.

The Boggieman Defense. It will have you seeing Ghosts. 
 

Someone should ask Josh Allen tomorrow if he ever saw ghost playing against the Pats.
 

What does Josh has to do with that ?? 

Just go put your lipstick ? on and keep kissing brady’s a_s

Romo never looked that bad.

 

Like, ever.

Darnold was bad, but his OC and receivers should be stepping up and sharing the blame.  Entire offense was incompetent at handling the pressure and did nothing to help Darnold.  3rd pick that Gilmore got, seemed like the receiver had his head up his ass and never adjusted and broke off his pattern to the blitz.

For Darnold, just have to learn and throw away that game.  For Jets fans, concerning how truly poorly he threw off his back foot.  Let's face it, every NFL QB will have to do it with short range proficiency in the face of pressure.

If we can stay healthy, I'm very much looking forward to our rematch with the Pats.  Our coaching and QB are better, if JA and the O continue to develop, that should be a great one.

you people gotta give Darnold a break. it is a well known fact in the medical field that mono gives you a swollen spleen and one of the side effects of that is hallucinations i.e. seeing ghosts. he was throwing alot of those passes to the ghosts of Wesley Welker and Don Maynard. They were wide open but the ball went right through their hands for some reason.

Oh now they are saying Darnold injured his toe. Watch the Jets try to spin it as to why Darnold played so bad
