Because it ain't Cousins. Minnesota never can get both sides of the football working well at the same time. The defense was ridiculously bad against the run. A Zimmer led team can't get a win when they score 30 points?? Unreal.
This sums up why they lost:
'They lost because of their costly mistakes -- Cook's fumble during a tie game, Diggs' bobbled ball that led to a late pick, Dan Bailey's missed extra point during their rally, a kick-return fumble to end their comeback attempt. Poor tackling also exacerbated a frequently victimized secondary, while Xavier Rhodes also did his best to hand Seattle points, save for a late forced fumble that came after an apparent benching.'
And this is SO trueQuotable"Kirk Cousins simply cannot allow 400-plus yards on defense and expect to be considered an elite quarterback."
Those words are courtesy of Minnesota-area reporter Brian Murphy. And they do ring true, as long as you get the joke. This night was all about the Seahawks continuing their climb in the West, but we all know the headlines are coming: Cousins still winless on Monday night! And you know what? If there's one thing Vikings fans should take solace in moving forward, it's that their guy under center actually looked really good in this game. If Minnesota fails to win the division and Cousins keeps playing as he has for much of the year, it's not going to be anywhere near his fault, no matter what the critics say.

Was saying this last night. National media will point out that Cousins once again lost on MNF so he must be a bad QB.
It's been said all along on KC when people talk about "his" failures at night or against winning teams.... it's a team game and he is not always to blame or in this case, actually one of the few bright spots.
If we had the Hags O line and D line we would have won too. Ours is not elite.
We had no counter for their 6 man OL...that's on the coaches...
@CourtneyRCronin | 6h | Russell Wilson on why Seattle had so much success running the ball: “They kept playing 2 high shell, just super deep. They didn’t want any shots thrown on them. So we said, OK, and we’ll just run it and do what we do really well.” | |
176 yards and had 40:00 minutes of procession in the game.
The whipping boy is now Mike Zimmer, defensive guru.

That right there is piss-pour game planning by the coaches. All season long stop the run, stop the run. Then they do this.

It has to be. This is his defense. He's the DB guru. His defense can have some ups and downs, but it shit the bed last night. And has in other games this year, also.
