Kirk Cousins is just NOT a big game quarterback

[Purplepain2018]

There is a reason folks why the Washington Redskins let Kirk Cousins walk in free agency in 2018. The Vikings and it's fans know this because, unfortunately, we see it play out each and every week. The game today was just another reminder of last years season in that in every big game we had last year, Cousins CHOKED! I mean for all that money, man, he got to win at least ONE big game. Now all you people going to hate on me....it is the truth. Can you name ONE big game that Cousins has won since he has been here? I'll wait.

Obviously, the team is more than a QB, and the defense did not do our offense any favors today. In being down 21 points to the Packers and Rodgers is almost impossible. The Vikings made a fight out of it, but there were just way too many mistakes and costly penalties and it looks like our kicker is starting his problems again. What is up with the kicking game and Vikings kickers?

It is only one loss, but it would have been huge if the Vikings could have won in Green Bay. It is a long season and hopefully they can regroup. Sadly, I see a lot of 2018 in this years 2019 team.

Let's hear your replies...

Rather than re post it, just go to my last post in the Post game thread and read what I said about Cousins. Insider info on him that is now coming true unfortunately

I live in the DC area and I’m not kidding when I say this. I haven’t came across a Redskins’ fan yet who was upset about Kirk leaving. They said the same thing, his big games come against bad teams. However, Minnesota panicked and overpaid for a so-so QB

Cousins was off today. Bad game by him. But this joke OC we have was even worse. We were pounding the ball. Why even put it up at the goal line on 1st down? Let Cook or Matti bang it in. They were playing great. Let Cook win it. And the D let Rodgers destroy them early. 21-0 is hard to come back from and it's not a big game performance. Takes a team out of the game plan. But I agree Kirk was terrible. Cook was smoking hot let him win it.

We don't see eye to eye on the play call. It's one of those plays you call hoping your QB throws it away if it's not wide open. Then you have three more plays to punch it in. I can't complain about the OC yet.

Offense scored 16 points. Kicker missed XP and FG (20 points), Refs stole a TD (4 more for 24 points), Cousins missed a wide open Diggs AND played the role of mental midget on his end zone INT...should had at least one TD out of those. (31 points) Not going to put anything on the OC when they should have scored at least 31.

Cousins was ok. Guys was pressured on 60 percent of throws. 60!!!. He made a bad mistake when it counted the most but... No one can win like that.

Classic Cousins.
He’s a choker plain and simple . Hopefully we can collect some great picks in the next 2 years and then blow the whole thing up- cousins, Zimmer and spielman

The funny thing is, we will be reading this exact thing in a day or two from people who actually mean it.

I am convinced there is nothing Cousins can do to turn some people off of him.

Take your conversion van and move on to the next city!

Someone said something in another thread that got me thinking....

Though I feel the defense is/has been overrated, I do feel it's good enough.
The receivers and running backs look to be top notch.
O-line looks much improved. Have to probably wait a little while to withhold total judgment.

Other than the kicking game, I honestly feel the weakest link on this team is QB. I don't think we can win a Super Bowl with them.

Nextgen stats has Cousins having the #1 time to throw in the NFL this week by quite a bit. We can't even blame the line anymore.

what does Zygi need to see that Zimmer/Slick RIck/Cousins are NOT the answer!!!?????

Is he paying attention??? or is he just so happy to get public funding for his BILLION $$ stadium that he really doesn't care how bad Cousins is.....that's really not his priority anyway$$$$$$$

[Laserman]

cousins is one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL. Really bad move to pay him all that $$$$.

Dude was pressured on 60 percent of the throws. Line still trash

I am a Kirk Cousins Apologist, even I am starting to see that Cousins is another Tunnel Vision QB. When he gets pressured or feels pressured, he immediately zeros in on Thielen or Diggs. Down and distance, play concept, none of that matters, all he thinks about is getting the ball to them, covered or not.

Release Mannion, bring Sloter back. Tell the $84 million dollar QB he is on very short leash. He does this again where he cost the team a hard earned victory. Bench him and his guaranteed money.

And yes, I know he is a Cardinal now. Trade for him, hell trade Cousin for him.
