bradboyd80 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Lots of garbage yards against the D... They played on heck of a game today. I get that. The D played ok overall. But still gave up a lot of big plays and was getting gashed quite often. Not just in the 4th quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 So what else worked then? Outside of Morris's 50 yard carry, the running game was stale again. Defense gave up 452 yards & 25 points. Kirk carried us today. Did Cousins keep the Bills scoreless in the first half? Because if nothing else was working the Bills would have had more than zero points at halftime. If one mistake by special teams means special teams "wasn't working" today, then even Cousins wasn't working today, regardless of stats and the win. Not to mention the defense bailed out the special teams gaffe, not Cousins. Remember how special teams played against the Chiefs in 2013? THAT is "nothing working". This was a total team win. I don't know how anyone can see it otherwise. I get that. The D played ok overall. But still gave up a lot of big plays and was getting gashed quite often. Not just in the 4th quarter. What? lol...The Bills had 83 net yards in the first half. They didn't start "gashing" the Skins defense until the Redskins were up 28-3 in the 3rd quarter.

I don't know how anyone can see it otherwise. If that's your definition of "nothing else working" then Cousins will never attain it. The fact of the matter is, when the defense starting falling apart in the second half, Cousins continued driving us down the field for points to keep the game out of reach. Ah **** it.....I should know better than to argue with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just in the 4th quarter. You obviously haven't seen them shut the Bills in the First, including an impressive Goal Line stop for 0. Besides two huge plays, their O was non existent. Our D made the job until we were up by 25. Then they went to rest, just like the SB. Stop complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I don't care else is on the list for this year as long as "Beats Division Eagles in Primetime on Road for Division Title" gets slashed off. That's worth about 50 check marks for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how anyone can see it otherwise. To be honest, to have the category 'Carry the team when nothing else is working' is a flawed unreachable goal for ANY player period in any game ever on any team ever. There can always be an argument for a lineman helping a RB or QB, unless the defense fails to stop any drive at all the games would end up in the 80's for each team. Fact is, Cousins has done a lot more than any other QB on this team in quite awhile. If you don't like him, that's fine, but to put up a flawed goal then defend it is doing nothing but looking for an argument. It just doesn't make sense.

Nope. He already did it against the Bucs. The problem, though, is that too many on this thread are trying to define ANY mistake as proof that "nothing is working"...which means that their definition of something "working" is zero mistakes. That'll never happen, either. I think I'm a LOT more realistic in my definition of "nothing working". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember his receivers dropping over 150 yards of offense on the day. You can't make players catch balls, I don't care if you're Montana. Flawed argument.

Warhead36 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I think you can argue that Cousins is making the players around him better. Reed is becoming a monster TE. The OL looks a lot better in pass protection. Jackson's #s with Cousins is way better then any of our other QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Yawn. 4 TDs and a rush TD. I've seen better. 6 300 yard games? That's just because Gruden changes the plays when he's out there. Oh and garbage time. And game manager When he throws 6 TDs and 400 yards in a game for 16 consecutive games I will be convinced. Now excuse me while I go pleasure myself to 2012 read option highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
