Cousins didn't do much in this game

not many more critical of Kirk than me over the last few years ( not really him,  but his play not being commensurate with his pay )  but for in this game it wasnt on him that Reagors lack of focus and effort led to 2  interceptions,  that desperation forced him to hold the ball longer than desired at times leading to more sacks.  Kirk earned his game check this week.  It would be nice to see our O come out and play the first 3 quarters of a game the way they play the 4ths,  maybe some day,  but for now,  for this week,  STFU... this was a solid effort from our QB1

Sam Monson has never liked Kirk Cousins. Ever. It doesn't matter what Kirk has done, he downplays it.

Hell, we still have fans PO'd about KOC over Harbaugh let alone KC...

Just never gonna please everyone. I stopped trying a long time ago.

I dont know if thats wisdom, becoming a curmudgeon or both?

Kirko Chains is top 5ish in most QB categories.  What else do they need to please them?
He's had a hell of a year and we wouldn't be anywhere close to where we are without him.

yeah.... and Im sure your wife is thrilled.  B)

Here's another...TWO NFL analysts can't be wrong, can they? Unless there really is some kind of bias or preconception at play here. Personally, I think it's pretty obvious.

it is very Kirk Cousins to not be playing that well during a 33-point comeback

Lol,

Rosenthal is getting slammed for that stoopid take...

Also Rosenthal has been a Vikings hater for awhile.  Not sure why, but they can all kiss Kirk's Chainz.

BOOM

Neither of these two should be offering opinions on football....completely asinine and biased takes.

Lot of Vikings/Cousins haters. The dunce Rosenthal. The never did nothing but know it all ' the real Mike Rob., joke' The Bald so called fantasy expert Bears fan, can't remember his name, not worthy of remembering. And many more.
There is one I like though! Gerbschmitz or however it's spelled. Very entertaining. Especially when he is drunk.

Gerbie is a fictional character...I used to think it was Kevin Seifert, word is it's one of the producers on KFAN. And yes, very funny especially when pretending he's schnockered.

Yep, it's bias on his part.  Like I've been down on Kirk, but like I've said repeatedly this season Big Kirko has won me over.  Love his aggressiveness this season, it's the difference between winning these close games and coming up short.  Instead of going for game tie-ing drives, we're pretty much going for game winning drives.

That and his movement in the pocket has been huge this year.  His willingness to slide, step up and deliver has made many plays where in the past he would have turtled.

And honestly, I even don't mind the sack every now and then. Even I'll scream at him for holding the ball too long sometimes. He does. But I think that's a part of being more aggressive. Some of these routes are slower developing and he's not afraid to sit back there, trust his line, even maybe when he shouldn't, and let them develop. Even if he occasionally takes a sack, many of those have turned into big plays downfield.
