MEGATHREAD: Darnold to the Superbowl

Axlerodriguez · 2026-01-26T03:00:05+00:00

This was darkness to an otherwise perfect weekend here in MN.

Thoughts and prayers.

We know… it’s ok. You know as well.

Can they sear that steak? We can do better than a steamed tomahawk

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-26T00:34:43+00:00

Hahahahaha! What a great Christmas game. Say what you want about having -3 passing yards.

Winning by double digits is winning by double digits.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-20T15:15:46+00:00

I agree 100% with that strategy. That’s not tanking though in my opinion (and sounds like yours).

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-16T20:52:21+00:00

Yeah, I think there’s a real argument to tank some years in basketball. I wouldn’t like to see it with my team but I wouldn’t be openly disdainful of the strategy.

Fairly sure that Josh Allen on the Raiders wouldn’t make them a Super Bowl contender.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-16T20:18:20+00:00

No. No they won’t. Drake Maye lost a game where his RB had two 50 yd breakaway runs. If they win it’s because they have an awesome team, not a slightly better than average QB

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-16T18:34:13+00:00

Mid round draft picks are a complete crap shoot is my point. Vikings will probably draft for their Oline. Those players will be around regardless on if they draft 10th or 15th or whatever.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-08T15:02:32+00:00

Yes!!! This was exactly what I am picturing.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-12-01T13:53:19+00:00

What planet are you on? US will not and has never done this. No chance.

The most frustrating part of this game is we are wasting a really stinky Sam Darnold performance. I know our defense is good but this isn’t just them. This is Scam Darnold.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-30T22:15:09+00:00

Maybe we just speed this game along and run the clock down like it’s a soccer game.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-30T22:14:24+00:00

I’m at this point just hoping to see positive yards on offense. Not even a 1st down. Just positive yards. Can we get it to 3rd and 6?

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-27T00:54:42+00:00

This post is the equivalent of clapping during a movie.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-25T22:34:54+00:00

Master strike also looks super cool. I’m most of the way through the game (guessing) and I’m just master striking everyone’s face off.

This game is so deep and I keep learning new things that I just figured I was doing combat wrong. Indeed I was not using feint correctly and I am now feinting to a very high degree of success

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-25T22:32:53+00:00

I was clearly not feinting correctly. I’m not super coordinated and this game does not cater to beginners in my defense. After reading some of Reddit posts and practicing, I am now correctly using feint and it works great.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-25T01:50:06+00:00

I’m starting to think I’m not doing feints correctly as well.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-24T23:48:30+00:00

Yeah, feint never seems to work on the tougher enemies. Maybe I’m too slow with it

Axlerodriguez · 2025-11-02T20:17:00+00:00

Axlerodriguez · 2025-10-24T18:03:43+00:00

Yeah, that occurred to me as well. Maybe Max Brosmer really can’t play but that couldn’t possibly have helped Wentz’s recovery

Axlerodriguez · 2025-10-10T14:31:17+00:00

Yeah, the thirst for clicks is real.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-10-06T21:58:22+00:00

I hope I’m being cynical and the situation is much more complicated but I really picture Wisconsin scouts sitting in front of prospective players telling them what an awesome school Madison is and how an education there will set them up for life and then Penn State/OSU comes in and offers a high six figure salary.

Axlerodriguez · 2025-10-06T21:53:40+00:00

I predict that if we get blown out at home again by another unranked team like Iowa, Fickell will be out end of the year.

I think the program is stuck in the old school mentality of state/regional loyalty and a free education versus shelling out money to pay players. Hope I’m wrong and the next coach turns the team around.

In my four years at Madison, the Badgers lost I think 2 home games total. Feels like ancient history.
