SunnySide 01-16-2023, 12:50 PM O'Connell has shared some blame in that and rightly so. 4th and 8 you need your receivers all moving, all play and around or beyond the 1st down. Short yardage, yeah you can have a guy go out in the flat and beat his man on a quick play, but being pretty much stationary 2 yards downfield your guy is unlikely to reach the marker. Cousins may well have been looking for a sure fire completion over chancing his man going and getting the ball (which is probably why Jefferson had a quiet half), so yeah he should have taken a chance. But having your outlet receiver in a position where he'd have to make an awesome play to get the 1st down isn't smart either.

idk man
Video of the play ... I didnt listen to this guys commentary
4 wide ... 3 receivers go beyond the sticks, Cousins with some incoming pressure but nothing hot hot .. makes a quick decision to check it down to the outlet guy
Outlet guys imo are check down if-all-else-fails options .. and thats on normal plays, not your season on the line and you need 8 yards plays.
Computers cant appreciate context .. Kirk is a computer.
htownskinfan 01-16-2023, 01:40 PM Very competitive games,with Miami being able to keep it that close was the most surprising to me,the Vikings being the least surprising.
I didnt watch 2nd half of Bengals,that was a lot closer than expected also.On that fumble return for td,there was a clear push in the back on Andrews that sent him tumbling that wasnt called,I dont know if it was mentioned during the game or not,sportscenter didnt say shit about it on the replays

Not sure what the problem with that is. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, carbs it is all good

That article is hilarious and right on point,that's why I never fretted about losing him,too much money for what he is
punch it in 01-16-2023, 05:42 PM Hysterical the hate for Cousins. Dude was 31 of 39 for 280 yards. 2 td’s and 0 of int’s and took zero sacks. Him and the TE were the only ones who showed up. The D couldn’t stop a thing. Not one thing. But yeah its Kirks fault because of one poorly designed play. Was he supposed to throw it away or get it to anyone with pressure in his face?

JJ got no looks in the 4th quarter, no one else to blame.

Was JJ open in the 4th quarter or are we just looking for some vague stat to blame Cousins. Hockenson was a man possessed and he got plenty of looks.
2-1/2 drives in the fourth. One resulted in a fg. So on 14 plays Jefferson didn’t get a look and that is all on Cousins? Not on JJ? The oline? The OC? Come on. Cousins played more than good enough to win. Defense and Coaching staff did not.

He's a top tier QB and he's always going to take the heat; all QBs take the heat. There have been plenty of QBs throughout the years who carry their teams through bad defenses (Mahommes, Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, etc., etc.). If he wants to be in that tier, he'll be expected to win games like this.
Whether it is fair or not, Kirk is going to always draw a lot of criticism because he's always demanding and getting fully guaranteed contracts, he always has had a loaded team offensively in Minnesota, and the narrative around the Vikings when he was brought is that they were a good QB away from the SB.
Lastly, regardless of what happened in that game, everyone is going to remember 4th and 8, and he only able to manage throwing a 3 yard pass.
