That article is hilarious and right on point,that's why I never fretted about losing him,too much money for what he is

Wild Card Weekend
 

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.

So you only throw to him when he is open? You throw and see if he can make a play! It's the playoffs.

Brady had a bad defense? All of Those teams Defenses showed up when they had to. And they all had great staffs too. It just isn’t that simple.

Giants didn’t score 31 points all year except one time against the Colts. The D for Minnesota is 100 percent to blame for making the Giants look like the greatest show on turf.

To be fair to myself, he could have won the Super Bowl and I'd still hate on him.

And their defense was definitely an embarrassment.

But still can't throw that ball.

And you shouldn't have a route that is going sideways to the sticks on 4th down. If you're gonna throw it short it needs to be a slant or something, where you're at least heading upfield. So not a great playcall either.

You are talking about 9 plays G - 1. 9 plays. They kicked a FG to tie it early in the fourth. You are blaming Cousins because JJ didn’t get a look during 9 plays? Come on.

The Vikings defense had as poor a showing against the Giants as any team did all year and you are blaming Cousins for not chucking 50/50 balls in a tie game to JJ?

Terrible play call and it was Hock vs a little d back. Hock was on fire he probably thought he could bust the tackle and get the first down. DB made a great tackle. Maybe had one Vikings defender made a great tackle all day the outcome would have been different.

Kurt is the man. Lol.

Seriously the Vikings could have lost 142-141 and Cousins could have gone 72-73 for 598 yards 12 td’s and 0 int’s and this board would be like “did you see that bum toss that one incompletion?!?
