CBSSports: Shaky start for Cousins

Nope,  I was to drunk still at 515 saturday morning to remember or go home...I considered it a win if I  knew where I was at the time.

I was out until 2:30 Friday morning, the latest I’ve been out in years.  I was at an awards show in NYC.  Slept pretty much the entire flight back.  and then I fell asleep watch TV last night at 5:30.....PM.

Should we even play the season?

p.s. I'm old....up at 5:15 am eastern time on a Saturday. Remember the days you didn't get HOME until 5:15 am on Saturday morning?  ;)

This is the guy the Vikings REALLY wanted to stick with....but that knee....

Cool, which awards show? NYC is a city that can keep you up all night, even now. 

he is throwing against one of the best backfields in FB. what a nothing burger

New offense, New teammates vs number 1 defense...gee, he should have lit them up each series...

Meh it's practice. They have to work the kinks out. I would rather have him be salty and want to work on things than be indifferent. Good things take time and effort.

I'm going with meh myself. Practice, pre-season none of it matters. Remember the 0-16 Lions went 4-0 in "practice" one year.

The local media talks about Rodgers and how he tends to throw more interceptions early in the off-season...  he's testing his WRs to see who will make plays on 50-50 balls and try to figure out what he can get away with against certain types of coverage/defensive alignments.

I'm not worried about this at all.  I'd rather have Cousins figure out who he can trust in the red zone now instead of when the games really count.

He eats breakfast 300 yards from 4000 cheesheads who are trained to hate him, so don't think for one second that you can come in here, flash an uninformed sports article, and make him nervous.

Kinda like this guy.

LOL...  who is Alfred?  This one flew right over my head...  :-D
I really think Cousins is in an ideal situation to flourish.  Top 5 defense, playmakers on offense, solid offensive.  He's one of the best play-action passers in the NFL and just so happens to go to a team with a HC that likes to run the football and work the play-action passing game off of that.  The Vikings brought in Flip as the OC because he is known for QB development and being successful in the red zone.
I mean this team plays right into Cousins strengths and we brought in an offensive coordinator who should help him with his weaknesses.  I'm drinking the Kool-Aid.  Join me brother!!!
BOOM
