Z has been heavily criticized but he did coach to win in the 4th quarter on that last drive. Some times it takes a stubborn blockhead 5 losses and 4 winnable games of those losses to figure it out. 

I still don't trust he'll consistently do it, but for 1 game he did. At the end (not including the end of the 1st half, which sucked). Baby steps. I didn't watch the game, other than at 2 points: right before the half and right toward the end.

So true. Zimmer coached a very solid game...let's trust Kirk and the offense more frequently

I didn't know what suprised me more (but I liked it)
1) going for it on 4th and two for the win, or
2) they made it B)

It just seemed so unlike them that I was a bit shocked.  I hope they learned something moving forward - SKOL!

Imagine that? Putting putting the ball in the hands of your biggest playmaker and the hot hand for the game. 

Two teams who's coaches keep doing something over and over till the other team stop's it? Patriots and Crimson Tide.

Jefferson has that #1 WR swag. Love that attitude, its part of why he excels.

Without that Diva attitude that we had with Diggs.  I love this kid, makes it a lot easier to cheer for millionaire athletes every week.

I think the difference is that what they did worked this time. 

I hate to say it, but I think the biggest problem is still the OL. When Cousins is pressured, he's an average QB. He plays smart and cautious but largely ineffective because he's forced to check down so often. But when he gets time, it's a beautiful thing. There are few better.

Agreed. Its about matchups and situations. Its the same reason the D-line or O-line for the Vikings can look good and then not so good: it really depends on the guy across from them. Not even the team, really.....but the player. Its why New England can beat the Browns so easily.....or the Dolphins taking down the Ravens. Matchups. Situations that are exploited or opportunities capitalized on.

As of right now yes haha. I dont think Jefferson will become a Diva, but receivers usually attract that title in year 4 or beyond....or when they get that big contract. Just target him 10+ games every week and everyone will be happy
