Defense has given up 45 points in the last two minutes before halftime. The offense has done nothing off the last 5 defensive turnovers, actually going backwards in aggregate. There’s a million other sad stats like that. It’s just a dysfunctional team that needs a full rebuild and removal of everyon...

What was equally as bad on that drive before halftime was when Cousins finally snaps the ball, he basically throws it about 5 yards or so. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he really had no control over the timeout and was waiting for someone on the sidelines or in the booth to make...

One thing I'll say for Kirk Cousins regarding COVID. At least he mans up and defends his position that vaccination is a personal choice that he has decided not to make. He faced the music. This would be unlike a certain lying, two-faced, passive-aggressive SOB across the border to the east, who not...

I'm surprised Cousins and some of the guards aren't a close contact.

This is why we've gone through so many OC's. Yes, some were not very good but you also can't force Cousins to throw the ball. Guys are open, he just doesn't see them or is too risk averse to pull the trigger. And this is why I was so pissed off when he got that extension. The initial signing I can u...

Arif Hasan has a tweet where he pulls up an all-22 video of the Vikings on 3rd and 12 against Dallas. He highlights Trevon Diggs, who has the deep third on Cousins’ left. KJ Osborn runs right by him, and Diggs just stands there like he’s waiting for a bus … because he KNOWS based on formation and c...

You know they're going to half #### this rebuild. Zimmer will probably eventually be fired along with all his pals. Rick will stick around, trade down for 14 draft picks, 11 of which will probably never see meaningful play time. Walter Football or whatever will give us an A+ draft grade the day afte...

Patterson as an interim is okay so long as they don't go the Leslie Frazier route again and hand him the HC job after the season. That's my biggest worry.

Not having an offensive minded coach is a definite hindrance, I'll concede. The OL did a decent job in pass protection yesterday and yet the offense gained -4 yards off two defensive turnovers, stalled after getting gifted an offsides on a punt, and settled for a FG on a drive the refs were practic...

I mean, isn't that basically what happened when he moved from Washington to here? Not many QBs get Thielen, Diggs/Jefferson, and Cook comparable weapons. You can add Rudolph for the first few years too. I think yesterday was just a traditional "bad Kirk" day. And he'll probably have a few...

Bigger question is , what top tier Head Coach would want to come to this Fire Sale ? No One in their right mind would work under Spielman, you have no OL, a QB that is one step above useless when it counts, etc.....There is no quick fix here. We are looking at a rebuild and that just means more yea...

Here’s perhaps the most embarrassing part of the many embarrassments from last night. Minnesota was a pathetic 1-of-13 on third downs, but more incredible is this stat from The Athletic's Chad Graff: "After the first possession, Kirk Cousins had eight third-down throws. He didn't pass beyond t...

Put Cousins on the Rams and he'd be this year's Stafford. Competent offensive coaching works wonders. I mean, isn't that basically what happened when he moved from Washington to here? Not many QBs get Thielen, Diggs/Jefferson, and Cook comparable weapons. You can add Rudolph for the first few years...

In the third quarter, CJ Ham had more targets than Thielen and Jefferson. Combined. That more or less sums up the game. Zimmer is surely gone, I just hope they don’t stop with him. Cousins was absolutely gifted that second to last drive with questionable penalties and couldn’t punch it in. He has ze...
