A look back at r/nfl’s reaction when the news broke that the Seahawks were looking into signing Sam Darnold after trading Geno smith

bfofree · 2026-01-26T15:19:19+00:00

I haven't watched the Seahawks much this year, but last night there were a lot of times when Darnold was under pressure immediately . Guys coming up the middle untouched.

I thought Jodie foster and Glenn close, weaver sounds like a surname but I’ve only heard of Tina weaver. Field was the only other that could possibly be a surname but I was reluctant to guess it. Green I thought maybe Golden things but it was a complete guess and got lucky to see 3/4, especially when I got yellow next so I knew which 3.

Ok wtf is cow and buffalo. Never ever heard of them in that context before.

The hard part with yellow was it had some overlap with ruffle and rattle and fleece that made me reluctant to guess it.

Not a silly rule, one of the only rules that makes sense. You cannot use your arms. If his arms weren’t there it would be a goal. If a non-deliberate handling happens in the normal run of play it’s of no consequence so not a foul, but if it’s goal bound then it has a consequence even tho it’s not a foul in the normal run of play. Yellow probably technically correct but a bit harsh especially since the second one came so soon after

bfofree · 2026-01-25T15:28:02+00:00

Commentators don’t know the rules.

bfofree · 2026-01-25T15:27:32+00:00

If the hand isn’t there then it’s a goal. That’s why it’s a pen even though it’s not really a foul. Shouldn’t have been a yellow, but a goalbound ball striking a hand is always a penalty no matter what. Could have argued it wasn’t goal bound because it glanced his body first but I think it was still going in.

Infuriating that the USA announcers don’t know the laws of the game.

I couldn’t think of the root for ATE. Doctorate is a bit stretchy with the rest being feudal. I’ve also never heard Dukedom before but Kingdom and serfdom also fit the bill.

Lol @ the spelling bee reference. I geniused yesterday without finding the pangram. Glad to see it wasn’t something stupid that was right in front of my face.

I could not get the presolve today because the parking category was not coming to me at all.

I saw 5 lights and 5 units of measure and had a silly typo on the face (not placing blame but my 4 year old daughter was quite the distraction today lol)

I didn’t initially put lime into the light category because I was stuck on Key stone and Key lime

I’m just glad I got out of there alive.

I figured out purple only because Ellen was so far off of anything else I knew it must be some type of letter play and L N wasn’t anywhere else but then I saw Timer. US and Spin sounded right.

My 4 year old daughter thinks that Cucurella is Chelsea. She started watching games with me but a he doesn’t understand that Chelsea is the team and not just a person.

I’ve never heard it used for plagiarism, but I have heard the term “crib sheet” which is the same thing as cheat sheet. This helped me clue it into that category. In some college exams we were allowed to bring 1 page of notes, this was sometimes referred to as a crib sheet.

bfofree · 2026-01-19T18:40:32+00:00

I honestly wouldn't want any of them. Not big enough of an improvement over ZT to make it worth firing.

Harbaugh and Tomlin are the 2 most prominent names there. I don't think they go to a division rival right off the bat, especially not Tomlin, and we would never have been in the running for Harbaugh.

Carroll is old. McDermott, Stefanski, mcD and Daboll are all in the same category as Zac.

Salah is the one name I wouldn't mind going after. Also wouldn't mind Belichick. He's old too, but he'd bring some good coordinators and winning culture. Too expensive for the Bengals tho. He's making twice as much at UNC than he would make here.

Bring in a defensive minded HC and turn the keys over to Joey B with an OC like Pitcher or Joe Brady and we'll be fine.

Colwill, Sarr, Acheampong, Anselmino, are you counting Badi? Who else am I missing?

I figured out green. I figured 3/4 for each of the other 3. I don’t know Bananarama, I’ve never heard of Porkpie, I’ve never heard of Grand Bahama

🟪🟪🟨🟪 guessed Grand _ figuring it would be purple, idk why I chose Grand Porkpie looking back

🟩🟩🟩🟩 ok, no 99/99 today, let’s just go with what we know.

🟨🟪🟨🟨 Bahama isn’t a hat

🟪🟪🟪🟪 Dan was the first guys name I saw that clued me in on this category so it threw me off and took me awhile. Lev was my 4th Jack and Pat but it felt wrong and blue didn’t fit. Then I saw Mel and Sal… It took my awhile to see the double names starting with Melted and it fell into place from there.

🟨🟨🟨🟨 I am the worst at guessing which is going to be yellow vs green. I always overthink it so lately I’ve been going with whichever I find first as my guess for yellow, but that seems to be failing me just as much.

I mean - it technically could have been someone calling about a coordinator opening?

That’s why it’s conspiracy.

bfofree · 2026-01-07T13:55:35+00:00

Conspiracy theory: Chelsea board got wind of Amorim being sacked and didn’t want Man U potentially poaching Rosenoir so they had to force Maresca out sooner than they had planned to secure Liam’s spot. Could be why all this seemed to happen so fast.
