It is an issue but so far this year more of them are on the oline letting their guy sack Kirk before he even has time to react. Based on his history though it is an issue...it'[s just so far this year it's been more attributed to the online than Kirk,

That's cute. You didn't want Cousins but now apparently you're his number one fanboy, anything less than a Superbowl with the improvements made will be a major flop.
I don't think he's the greatest thing out there but he's better than Keenum by a long shot and the best we could get.

I agree. He needs to win a SB in the 3 year's he is here or I wouldn't resign him after that and it will be a bust.
Gonna be awfully hard to win that SB with this OL and defense...

Rodgers last 63 starts he has fumble 34 times

It is a concern but when seeing this is it really that big of a issue? I don't hear people ripping Rodgers fumbles.
When you force alot of passes because you are playing catch-up or an offense that never runs, you put yourself at risk for holding the ball too long to make something happen. It shouldnt be an issue like it was in WAS if the defense starts playing well. Makes sense it was on a last minute final drive where turnovers are often the end result. I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary so far. The oline doesn't help either.

i am-was more concerned about his overthrows in the buffalo game. shows that he can be inconsistent and prone to a bad game. if you want to get where this team wants to get you can't have any bad games in the playoffs. but as many people have said in this thread and others-kirk cousins is not the biggest concern with this team. they need to fix plenty of other things before people can obsess over his turnovers.

I think this is Kirk.

He can go from Ponder to Favre in the span of 2 plays. He can give yo a zero or a 10.

If He could stay just stay a 4 to 6 90% of the time he would take this team to 10 wins easy. Make 5 big throws a game and not 5 blunders.

For the money they are paying you should get more, but he isnt going to give it to you. Dont ask for it, dont expect it. You will be let Down, and it will be when you need it the most it seems

He only lost one of the fumbles, right? So technically it's 3 TOs?

To be fair, a lot of people here called it as soon as we signed him and didn't bring in a new OL.

WIth this D, he's is going to be forced to be more conservative more often. More early slides... more passes being thrown away... instead of trying to make something out of nothing.
:lol:

The exact opposite of how it's worked out so far.

Yep... They were rolling on the ground and all it took was one dumb pass to kill the whole game. I can't imagine how pissed Zim Dog was after that throw.

I guarantee you that how much money he's making is adding pressure on him to be great and do more than is being asked. He needs to just stop. Trying too hard kills everything

10/28 69 yards 0 td 2 int

Minnesota is going to have to figure out how to roll him out more and utilize shotgun because in pure drop back situations he gets skiddish if the pocket isn’t cleanZ

Yesterday the line was garbage in pass protection and once again Cousins got scared and forced things.

In the 4th quarter, maybe even the 3rd, the protection was excellent. They tried the naked bootleg several times and GB DE stayed at home and shut it down.
