Some posters just have this tunnel vision when it comes to Cousins. Win or lose, he's the blame for everything...

We knew going in this game the young D was kind of bad. The D gave Cousins a chance to win it, but of course he wilts when the spotlight is on him.

The defensive did not give Cousin a chance to win the game...hell, the defense gave up the go ahead touchdown to Dallas with a minute forty something left in the game.

1:40 something with a timeout is plenty of time for setting up at least a FG. Cousins just doesn't lift this team up and never has. The NO playoff game last year was awesome, but we can't get used to that kind of heroics from KC.

He's not a leader, and we can't blame the D on that flop of a final drive in today's game. He's the exact same guy he was in Washington. He's Ok, but not the guy you need in clutch situations when the going is tough. That's just who he is, and what we have.

Wait what? There were so many missed tackles throughout the game. There was no pass rush. Dalton had time. Kendricks made an interception but missed one. Boyd had an opportunity as well. The Vikings scored 28 points. I didn't like the play calling in the first half or the last drive. The OL had issues. This was not on Cousins. The offense came back from behind more than once but the defense gave up a lot of points.

With 1:40 to play you can't hand the ball off to Dalvin 8 times for the win. Sometimes you need the QB to be "the man" and lead the team. KC plays a great game up until we need him for the win. Maybe I expect too much from him?

It still takes the other 10 offensive players beside Cousins to win games...even with 1:40 left...

Play calling. I wanted Justin Jefferson to get more targets instead of being a decoy. The last drive was disappointing no doubt but so many things lead up to that. They revert back to run run pass. It doesn't always work. Yeah I know Jefferson had a drop but he wasn't targeted nearly enough but they will keep running like it's 1995.

Cousins had plenty of chances this year with the game on the line and I don't remember him coming through one time.

Oh, wow...this is so painful that it hurts.

Cousins threw for 3 of our 4 scores today, over 300 yards, and at the end was mauled right after a play where Jefferson dropped a pass that hit him in the hands.

Meanwhile, our D gave up 31 points to a 2-7 team and their backup QB. We only pressured Dalton a whopping 4 times on over 30 dropbacks, and their 42 yard rushing TD was their longest rush of the season.

You're trying way too hard to hate the guy, and it looks fuggin' stupid.
