[quote=punch it in;1153275]Cousins 30-39. 301 yards. 1 Td on the ground, and one in the air. We ahould have won 27-20. Mistakes cost us. Namely mistakes by Grant and Jones. Anybody who has anything bad to say about KC doesn't realize what we have.[/quote]

He played well. 2 bad plays though. Trying to hand the ball off when falling down leading to turnover and short hopping the throw with 16 seconds left.

Yeah the handoff was sketchy, but Jones still should have had it. As for the throw at the end I cannot really fault a guy for a desperation throw that falls a little short. The 30 second drill can make a lot of qb's look hurried.

Ton of parody in the league this year. There is New England and everyone else split into two groups - contenders and pretenders. We are contenders.
Minnesota lost today, so did Atlanta. They were the world beaters in the NFC until today. We can play with anybody that much I know.

Yeah, it was a tough throw, but you need to hit that.

I'm still on the fence about signing him to expensive long term deal. Right now I'm 55% for and 45% against. Would like to be much more confident than 55%. But a few weeks ago I was at least the opposite way on that. So he's trending up for me.

I think its an even matchup. Can go either way. Just glad that this is a "road" game for us, instead of losing a real home game.

Re: Skins lions post game
 

I would not play Matt jones again..he sucks! everybody sees it...he is a 230Lb back who runs scared..plus his fumbles cost us. Ryan Grant is in over his head also ..I would cut him..time to move on from players like this. Cousins played fine,Chris Thompson played lights out..players were out there hurt trying too win..and you got clowns like Ryan Grant out on the field..WTF ..Jones will NEVER be a player you can feel good about..Time to move on from these type players.To my eyes Kelly looks way better than Jones. Do you guys really think Jones is the main back?

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1153274]If we don't make the playoffs, this is a game we'll look back on. Detroit is an average team. With our schedule, we need to win these type games. Hate having to play in London. This is now one of our biggest games of the year and it has to be played overseas.[/quote]

we are an average team too.

KC played a really good game today. He played well enough for us to win. I can't put the fumble all on him but he has the ball in his hands and probably should have just ate it. But regardless of that, he got the team down the field and gave the defense a 4 point lead with a 1:00 left.

Grant mentally was not ready to play today. Put Ross in there and see if he can do any better.

I could see us legitimately ending up with anywhere from 7-10 wins.

I predicted 11-5 before the year. I drank a bit too much kool-aid.

Thing is, we are an average team as well. Against other average teams like Detroit and Philly, we will win some lose some. Anybody who thought that 4 game win streak made us a great team was bound for disappointment, we're not top tier yet

Agree on Cincy, we need this game in order to stay above .500 going into the Minnesota game. And it's definitely winnable

The problem is Jones doesn't suck. If he did, he probably would be gone (although Grant's continued presence puts that in question). But his fumbling should at this point be enough to override his ability to run the ball.

No you did not. We win 10-11 games this year. No doubt. Unless....again .....Trent and, or Norman are out for an extended amount of time...that would change things imo.

Who is top tier outside of NE? The NFC for sure is wide open. That average Philly team that we whooped last week just whooped the Vikings. The Falcons lost today to an average San Diego team. I'd say We hung with (probably should have beaten) Dallas.
Seattle - maybe?
Green Bay = average.
Giants = average.
Cardinals = average.
