That was just awful.

Drake had one of the worst performances in SB history. His crappy stats look better on paper.  He literally handed the game to the Seahawks on a silver platter. Not sure if his stats are as bad but I put this on the level of Kerry Collins in SB 35.

Should he have been benched at some point? Would it make a difference?


They didn't belong. Back in the day, this team would've made it to the playoffs, lost the wild card, everyone congratulate them on a good season, and they'd come back the next season and maybe take it up a notch.

In this era, they immediately make it to the SB and get trounced.

Everyone was right ....should've been the Bills year.   tongue


Having said all that, Darnold wasn't all that impressive. Smart (conservative) coaching won this game. They never went for it on 4th in any of those situations...just kept taking the 3....digging a hole that Drake/Vrabel couldn't  climb out of.

It was essentially over at 9-0.

Well, Campbell was a highly sought after left tackle out of LSU. He was one of the worst last night. In fairness, he is still a rookie, but he’s supposed to be top-tier talent. Don’t know what happened there.

Any offense lineman taking in the top 10 is supposed to be a plug and play starter, not a project. Campbell was historically bad not just last night but this postseason.

What exactly was his issue anyway?  I watched the playoffs and he pretty much got destroyed by whichever decent edge rusher there was on the other team.  I know he had the short arms issue but seemed like he wasn’t strong enough and kept on getting pushed back into Maye

There's no excuse for it. I know Seattles D is elite...but he looked like a guy you need to cut ASAP.

Banks was the guy I was hoping would drop to the Bears...I never thought Campbell would drop that far. Thank god he didn't because what I saw yesterday was abhorrent.

Well that’s another part of it; Vrabel can’t scout/identify starting LT.  It was a main problem in TEN.  Near the end , he started all these bums at LT who allowed sacks and qb pressures like crazy.  I’m talking numbers like Campbell had in the Super Bowl.

Bears lucked out and drafted a star level TE instead.

I rarely pay much attention to Tennessee. They're just one of those teams that falls of my rader. But I believe what you're saying.

I can't say I know if what he's doing wrong isn't fixable. The bears started a LT - Braxton Jones for years - a steal in the late rounds. He couldn't handle the bull rush though so when he got beat it was embarrasing. He was like a 5th round pick. Will Campbell looked just like him.
