Why Cousins is Primed for Career Season

13 wins in the regular season will be tough to reproduce.....I think its the playoffs and the team's upside there that the team thinks Cousins can excel at with this team. Vikings were a miracle play from one and done playing at home last season in the playoffs...that seems to get lost with some fans. Keenum hadn't thrown a TD in the New Orleans game until the last play of the game. 
A good point but at the same time you could include that the Vikings were up 17-0 late in the third.  There is a lot of blame to go around besides the second string QB.
Yes, also a good point. Aren't we polite? Wink

Defense had to defend the Saints getting the ball at our own 30 after Keenum's INT and then around the 40 yd line after blocked punt.  These two mistakes by offense and ST's started the Saints comeback after our defense had been shutting down Bree's and the offense like no team had done all season.

But when faced with winning the game our defense could not stop the Saints from driving down for the would be winning FG after two first downs (one on a fourth down) and about 30 yds given up by Alexander in the slot.

All told - it would have been a team loss with blame on all three units - IMO - but the Miracle happened so all is forgotten and forgiven by some.

O line with broken ankles, Sandejo with a concusion and Griff’s foot!

Great teams find a way to overcome the injuries and win.  Its a tough leap.  The good part is the Vikes have the luxury of returning most of the key players and with the added experience of a NFCC game under their belts.  They know the flavor of winning and losing big.  Lets hope it is enough.
