Check it:

27/38 (71%)

311 yards

3 TDs

0 INT

8.2yd avg

PRTG=121.7



But his team fumbled the ball 4 times and lost all 4. That's just as Vikings as it gets.

Thats solid no doubt, but dudes just don't seem to give 100% for him IMO... they don't seem to believe

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Put it this way: If I told you that those were Mahomes' stats for any game, how much would you bet between say, $1 and $100, the Chiefs won that game? I know I'd put a $100 on it every time.

But with Cousins, you just don't know . . .

If Patrick fumbled at his own 10 yard line and his best receiver fumbled at the opponent’s goal line, I would guess there is a pretty strong chance of losing the game. Margins are too narrow in pro football to gift-wrap a 14 point swing to the other team.

These pre and post-game announcers blow, sorry TG. Andrew Whitworth talks too much hogs the mic and thinks he has something with the hoodies with a sportcoat. Sherman is just a dummy. The Lady is pretty but just sucks off the East and West Coast teams it butters her bread and glazes her face like a donut. Fitzmagic I like but he can't get a word in with Andrew and Richard shitting out stupid from their mouths. Tony is personalityless if that's a word..

He’s talented, but we would’ve been frustrated with him as a first round pick.

He had like 10% of his career rushing production tonight.

Yeah, we're just talking past each other now. Again, what are the chances that you'd have a QB fumble and lose the ball on his own 10, AND a WR for the same team would fumble a ball out the back of the EZ in the same game? Pretty small odds, right?

Then I posed it with Pat in there instead of Kirk. So think about it:

How many times has Pat had to deal with a situation like that? Maybe a handful, right? It just doesn't happen that often is the point.

Unless you're Kirk Cousins. Shit like that happens to him all the freaking time.

We just saw the Chiefs lose a game with a super flukey Pick 6. It's hard to overcome that kind of BS, no matter who the QB is. Gotta play clean football. I sure hope the Chiefs will be able to do it on Sunday. I think they cannot afford major mistakes against a pretty good Jaguars team.

[Megatron96]

Yes!!! It took some flukey shit to lose that game. And Pat didn't even have great numbers. That's my point.


And I agree 100% about JAX. Margin for error is pretty thin. Probably have to play really clean to win.

[Megatron96]

Flores still got a LOT of work to do.

True, but the same is also true for the Jags. They can’t make major mistakes against us and expect to win.

Agreed. It's a thin margin in both directions. I sure hope KC can find a way to play clean football and get the victory.

One of the truest statements ever uttered.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to have that "it" or luck factor.

Brady had it. Jimmy G based off his lucky wins has it.

Barry talks about it. It is hard to describe but it is there.

And it doesn't help that the Vikings are cursed.

[Hoover]

I problem with Minn has never been the QB, it’s the Defense. And this year their running game is especially poor. I was really impressed with Cousins last night

[FloridaMan88]

Minnesota had like 20 yards rushing and gave up almost 300 yards rushing on defense... Cousins and the passing game was the only reason they were even sort of in the game.
