They dropped the easy pick Cousins served up. Then we never let him make any dangerous throws the rest of the game.

2+ picks in 8 out of your 17 games of your career.

If we were a little closer in the game with a little more time left I'd be pissed about it. Still wish they would have stuck with the run more though.

Why try to force that throw in? Just a terrible decision and not a good throw.

Bend, don't break doesn't work very well when down 2 scores already.

Yeah, bring the heat on 3rd and long instead of letting them complete a 5 yard pass and tackling them short.

Welp, there goes D Hall's Achilles

If our special teams and Cousins hadn't spotted them 9 points to start the game, this would be a pretty good game.

Phil Simms after an incomplete pass: "and you take the penalty not worrying about the clock because it's about the yardage."

Out-gaining the opponent, down by 9. My beloved Skins.

Even when he makes first down throws, he's throwing behind guys costing them YAC. At least we're moving though, I thought 2nd and 17 would kill the drive.

Penalties killing us

Horrid drop. Caught a break there.

He had the shorter route open too. Either way needs to make that throw

Made Reed slow up, if he hits that in stride it's a TD

I have no problem feeding him carries, but Morris does a much better job avoiding negative plays.

Christ at this rate, can we already say Jones has taken over as the nominal 1st RB?

Our D has done decent given the spots they've been put in tonight by Cousins and the special teams. Need to get anything going on offense though.

Agreed, shit that obvious should never even take more than 10 seconds. Just signal down "Nope".

Yeah keep trying to jinx Eli. We need him to channel that shitty version of himself to overcome Cousins being Cousins.

You can not put him in bad situations. Backed up that deep in our end, I don't like that play call or throw. I don't see how we are going to be anything but a running team each week. His pick problem is a known quantity. It's really not going away.

Yeah, good try Hall.

Pretty sure I've been constantly noting that Cousins is a turnover machine when he is asked to do too much or he panics (which is often)

I like Matt Jones too, but when you don't have Morris out there for 3rd and 1, you're just overthinking that shit.

Here's the test, down 9 early, do they stick with the running game?

He does throw picks at half the rate that Cousins does. Fuck that's sad.

Ah the Cousins we all know and love...

Fucking idiot running out of bounds. It's all going wrong already.

Didn't look like Reed even moved off the line of scrimmage. Shitty penalty.

I definitely think no matter what he needs a new situation to have any hope of doing anything the rest of his career.

Someone will, for the same reason we were just discussing why so many mediocre QB's get paid. He still has talent, if he could ever get past the rumored ego that he doesn't need to work on some stuff, he's probably still better than a lot of backups around the league. For all the hope 2 games...

Honestly if Griffin starts any games for any reason other than there aren't any healthy QB's on the current roster left, it's automatic shit show. They're literally keeping him inactive now that he's cleared from the concussion so they can cut him and save themselves from his 5th year option...

I believe the Cowboys can still win the division with Weeden (or Cassel if it comes to that) running the offense until Romo gets back, but it'll likely be with a final record of 10-6 or 9-7 (depending on when Romo/Dez get healthy).

Again you forget the original cliche we were discussing was Us Against the World, and that it was in reference to the Patriots. Then again you claimed this was the best Cowboys team ever, so it's no surprise.

Fair enough

Going with my extreme optimism here, what if the Skins put up a ton of rushing yards once again (160+), their D plays solid, and they come out with a fairly convincing win? At what point do they stop being a circus and be a team with a good D who can run that ball that will win more than 4...

I was saying that if the argument was that Brady didn't have mediocre teams to carry because he's had Moss/Gronk since 2007, why are we ignoring 2001-2006 when he had no player even close to that level to throw to.

I feel like some of their skill position players wish they had done better at it then. It also doesn't really change the debate about Brady having mediocre teams around him in those years before Moss got there. Aside from Brown having the 10th most receiving yards the year he cracked 1,000, no...

For what it's worth, they had quite the easy schedule that season that he got hurt. Also are you using Moss-Gronk years as your evidence for why Brady never carried a mediocre team? Not that those two aren't great/HoF at their position players...but that ignores the 3 Super Bowls he won...

Wilson's put up 457 yards (17th in the league), completing 71.8% of his passes (9th in the league) with 3 TD's and 2 picks against 2 pretty good teams (Rams front 7 on D are no joke). Granted it's only after 2 weeks, so hard to really get a gauge on things, but he's doing a little more than...
