OMG... The play call was fine... everyone would be bitching about Stefanski (or more likely Zimmer) if we ran it 3 times and then passed on 4th down and didn't score.
The narrative would be we're too predictable and GB knew we were going to run it or some shit.
It was a terrible decision by Kirk Cousins plain and simple.
If you want to complain about lost points, how about the 4 we lost on a BS pass interference call that took away Diggs TD right before half?
For better or worse, Cousins is our quarterback for the rest of the season. So we all might as well ride it out and hope for the best. Nothing will happen until the season is over. Whether it's Spielman, Zimmer, Cousins or the entire franchise is cut, we won't know until season's end.

This. There is and will be no other option in 2019 or 2020. Cousins is the starting QB with that guaranteed contract. Obviously, if the season implodes (I really think it won't), then you'll see Minnesota draft a QB early in the upcoming draft 100%. I think they should draft one regardless, but it will be a stone cold mortal lock if the team doesn't make the playoffs.
I don't trust Cousins after Sunday's game. A few throws were so god awful harebrained, he should be embarrassed. Inexcusable IMO.
Kirk so far this 2nd year here has only proven he can win when he throws 10 times or less. He's not digressing is he?
It's got to get better...doesn't it?

It will get a lot better. In fact, I'm guessing that his owner in my fantasy league is going to drop him tonight and I'll get a pretty good QB2 for $0 FAAB. :-)
There is one argument to make that he just won't be good this year and that's the new offense. Cousins mentioned several times in camp that it was a challenge learning a new system. If that is still a problem and continues to be, then his problems could continue.
But it's not likely. Remember, there were games last year where this guy just couldn't miss. 400 yard games, 4 TD games, games where his accuracy was dead on. I expect there will be a few games like that this year, too.

Kirk is still thinking out there instead of playing on instinct from repetition, add on the factor of chasing the score board all day after that horrific start by the D and he crumbled. you could kind of see all game that he was feeling it and even though the score was coming around he was still pressing and ultimately he choked from the pressure. He will get better as the season goes on and he becomes more instinctual and comfortable with the presnap reads with this offense vs the various things the opposing defenses do.
Kirks endzone pick may have sealed the teams fate on sunday, but the loss was hardly on him alone. plenty of other fingers of blame to be pointed from that shit show.

Lots of bad things happened, but when it came time to overcome ALL of it, the opportunity was there....twice....and the $84 million dollar man failed miserably. That's the bottom line. Nobody asked him to go 80 yards for the TD in 30 seconds. First and goal with plenty of time and that INT was horrific.

i have never understood the logic behind the blame going to the last one to touch something that breaks. I dont blame a kicker who misses a last second field goal in a game of 3600 seconds any more than the guy who drops a wide open pass in the first quarter. its a team game and if one player is allowed a trasngression, then others should be as well regardless of the time on the clock. scramble the fuck ups and the result is still the same. we lost a 60 minute team game by 5 points. hell if Diggs hadnt pushed us back 15 yards after his TD i think we would have went for 2 at that point who knows how that changes things. if the D hadnt slept through the first quarter, if the kicker hadnt missed once again on a makeable 3 pointer... iffs and butts... its a team game and a team loss. Cousins shit the bed, no disputing that, but he also was the one that dropped a perfect pass into Diggs to help claw back into that shit show.
Team Loss.
