SemperFeist Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I can understand the desire to want more. But, realistically, I just don’t think you’re going to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I didn't get to watch much of the 2nd half. What went wrong that the offense couldn't put the game away? I know Jefferson had the 1 bad drop. I do wonder what it would be like to have an offense that teams are scared to give the ball back to with a chance to win the have at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Cousins did have a good have though. I had very little room in the pocket on a lot of those passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the announcer said Cousins had a perfect rating, he didn't complete another pass. Not entirely his fault, but he's never going to be this team's savior, I think.

The defense failed yet again to get a 4th down stop. I thought where things got interesting was the drive before the Cowboys scored the go-ahead TD. 4 plays, 12 yards, 1:54 1st and 10: Complete to Rudolph for 12 1st and 10: Cook for no gain 2nd and 10: Incomplete to Ham 3rd and 10: Incomplete Thielen 4th and 10: Punt - Cowboys ball with 4 minutes left. This drive was the drive for the offense to win the game. It looks like Dallas had all 3 of their timeouts but I question the decision to go back-to-back passes on 2nd and 3rd down. Obviously there is the data where the Vikings are one of the most run heavy teams on 2nd down, yet here they decide to pass. In hindsight the Cowboys didn't end up needing their timeouts and who's to say they would've called them had the Vikings run on 2nd/3rd down that series. No screen pass, no draw call? I remember questioning this at the time it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 This was the best game I've seen from Cousins in terms of his pocket manipulation and buying himself time. Or just outright running of the football when he needed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember questioning this at the time it happened. I was wondering how the play calling was that drive. A lot of people would them be more aggressive with passes than 3 runs and a punt but that's the the draw back of incomplete passes. Giving the ball to cook is never a bad option either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yeah but Cousins has literally zero sacks and hasn't won the Punt Returner job. Worst QB ever!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cearbhall Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Kirk Cousins played a great game against the Panthers. It would be huge for the Vikings if the game against the Panthers was indicative of what the team could expect out of Cousins. It will take another 5-6 games like that before anyone should reasonably expect performances like that out of Kirk Cousins. Even then, it would be quite a stretch expectation. QBs that can consistently perform at that level are truly rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
