Wilson v. Cousins

[Guest]

Team A: TOP 40 mins, 201 yards rushing, 248 net passing, 31 first downs, 6-14 on 3rd down
Team B: TOP 20 mins, 124 yards rushing, 190 net passing, 18 first downs, 0-7 on 3rd down

The answer to why do Viking fans have cardiologists? Team B won the game. Last year's game in Seattle.

Once again with the clean pocket thing...for the love of God, give the man a clean pocket.

A clean pocket is a rarity in the NFL.  QBs need to be able to read the defense pre snap, have a feel for pressure and move in the pocket, none of what KC does well.  Be the highest rated QB with a clean pocket is not a metric that I would rate a QB by as I want a QB who can operate under pressure.  

He's actually proven to be excellent in play action and even bootlegs...when, y'know, they actually get called....

Cousins is a good QB who gets irrationally slammed, despite excellent play and putting points on the board (all that actually matters). He continually drives the team down in scoring position when needed and is good with game winning drives. He’s excellent from clean pockets and bad pockets. We don’t lose games because of Kirk frigging Cousins. 
The reason we lose games is because our defense really really sucks and has for some time. It’s that simple. Our defense is why the Vikings won’t make the playoffs, unless we see a dramatic turnaround. That’s the main reason why our ”defensive guru” coach should probably be shown the door.

I predict a close loss for the Vikings. 

I think they win this one at home
