I agree. We can still win a lot of games and have a lot of fun this year. But there’s no reason to think that this could be our year. Not with Kirk. Not until he proves this take wrong in some big games.
So we can enjoy being 8-8 and drafting mid round? And still have him as a QB next year (although I expect there will be a rookie drafted and sitting in kirks final year). I don’t enjoy watching .500 seasons unless the trajectory is upward. If it’s down, then what are we enjoying?
I think we can even win 10 or 11 games. Just not the big one.
Oh. That would be enjoyable but I don’t share your optimism.

this talk was all hashed last year and it looks like it'll be rehashed this year. i don't really feel the need to go back over the old territory and positions people took after the second game of the year. green bush is a tough place to play and you can argue that the game was much more important to the packers.

lots of season left. defense plays like it did for the last three quarters and DC stays healthy and it still could be a quite entertaining one.

I’m not calling it. I’m just saying a 5pt loss @ Green Bay does automatically mean 8-8 or worse to me.

But Cousins’ long-standing inability come through in big games does mean no confetti this year. Until he proves otherwise.

1 loss on the road... This was just like last season against the Bears.

Did you watch last season loser? This is what he did last year too. His whole career is this. 1 playoff game in his first year as a starter. He lost that game too. Now he is 31 years old. There is no upside... this is it.

I feel so bad for Dalvin. Lol. It's his few games in a row ever for this team.

AP is who I feel bad for. Be busted his ass year after year and had one year with a productive QB.

Dalvin has made it through two games injury free and you feel bad for him lol.

You are a gem.

OH MY GOD!! POOR DALVIN HAS PLAYED TWO GAMES IN HIS WHOLE.CAREER WITHOUT SUPPORT.

Hey, see, great work like this and I will actually reply directly to you for a change. See, this is creative. Obviously you are in a box and look (again) like a moron with A. "Cousins is gonna git his, he is finna get 3 fitty Sunday"! ....and B. How you told us Cook isn't anything special.

So good creativity - let's now spin topic off the guy who single handedly cost them the game and of course you told us would be great today and spin to "we shouldn't feel bad for Dalvin" because some RB (that literally NO ONE but your hilariously odd hero worshipping ass thinks about) from 5 years ago had it worse when he was here than Dalvin does. You managed to thus spin it away from the guy everyone should be slobbering over, you know, the best player on the field Dalvin Cook.

You are a fucking treat. Your posts are actually more logical when you are hammered. Ok not really, but they are funnier. (Before they get deleted that is) :lol:

Um what? Denny green never had a great defense, are you out of your mind???? And he had literally the best OL in the history of the organization. Other than that you nailed it. :lol:

No doubt Dalvin is playing good.

To feel bad for a guy who has literally done what he was brought here to do this two years later for two games is ridiculous


I drafted Dalvin this year in fantasy before the likes of Zeke etc.. He's havinga big year. He did absolutely nothing up until this year though.

I love turds like you. First to jump on someones predictions yet you never make one. That's as easy as your daughters layup line.

I thought they were pretty good. McKinnie and Hutchenson made the Pro Bowl, and Sullivan was a capable center. Herrera wasn't great and Loadholt was a rookie. Kleinsasser was always a good blocker but he was hurt a lot that year.

Compared to what we've seen lately that line was great.

Mckinnie was a joke making the pro bowl and I didn't say they were bad, I said it was the weak link. And more importantly, comparing them to 98 is laughable. That line was fucking unreal.

First things first. Autocorrect changed Wilf to Wild and I missed that.

Second Denny Green never played under Wilf so your comment is basically retarded in that context but if you want to reduce this to Green, he had one hell of a defense when he took over the team and he had Dungy as his DC. The defense Dungy put together in his first two years before Green gutted it was stout as hell.

Now, if you are done being stupid is there anything else you want to add to the discussion?

Told you guys Kirk is junk.

90% of you bought in the hype.

He looks the part; speaks well, has a good arm but he’s pure chicken shit. Can’t feel the rush, can’t go through progressions, can’t step up in the pocket.

He flashes but he’s pure average. I would trade him to the Bucs or dolphins for a 2nd round pick.

I’ve read we have to eat the remainder of his salary. We are truly fucked. It is why I was begging for them to draft a quarterback. We then went center.

There will be this year and next year if this. Hard to watch. I thought Kubiak could fix it as he is a great coach, but even Kubiak needs a decent quarterback. He went like 0-8 with Keenum.

I have been pissed off all offseason and people told me that it will be fine. Just keep looking at that garbage stat sheet and tell yourself it will be OK.

He sucks. And I am happy others are realizing this. Too late, but finally.

Spielman his Cousins all offseason and has not drafted a quarterback in 5 years. We have nothing to fall back on.

I liked the signing, thought it was the right move. Last year opened my eyes a lot in terms of what he does not do well. Clearly they had to upgrade the line for Cousins to perform better whereas Keenum/Bradford did ok with less time because Bradford could get the ball out quick and Keenum had really good pocket presence just not a great arm.

After yesterday I am convinced Cousins is not going to work out longterm here. Now, they did lose 21-16 because of Cousins on one of his worst days so if he does perform slightly better (or they keep running the ball versus having him throw on first and ten), they have a much better opportunity to win that game.

I think we can even win 10 or 11 games. Just not the big one.
Oh. That would be enjoyable but I don’t share your optimism.
I’m not calling it. I’m just saying a 5pt loss @ Green Bay does automatically mean 8-8 or worse to me.

But Cousins’ long-standing inability come through in big games does mean no confetti this year. Until he proves otherwise.
I looked at the schedule: 10 wins is not happening.

@ Seattle
@ Chicago
@KC
@SD
@Dallas
Philly at home

The first three are losses. They will be big games and Cousins will be awful. Of the three after that, they might win one or two but I would bet on 1 at most.

The 5 pt loss as GB isn't simply a 5 pt loss. It is a further demonstration that Cousins doesn't have it and Zimmer's inability to get his defense ready to play at the opening after a week when the defense dominates. Zimmer admitted that he was fighting that attitude all week and yet, he still failed. If Zimmer was aware that his team was getting haughty hearing "this team is back" all last week, then he failed miserably countering it. (As he did in Philly last year)
