I don't see Cousins as anything more than a stopgap QB this season until we draft for a future "Francise" QB in the 2016 draft.

There is certainly a legitimate concern with Kirk's accuracy and also with his poise under pressure, IMO. I think he needs more time to develop because he has played well, for the most part, and we still don't know his ceiling. I'd hate to see the Skins throw out the baby with the bath water.

BTW, please go find a Franchise QB in the 2016 draft and get back to rest of us on that. Good luck! You're gonna need it.

Positive: Putting up a good fight against an undefeated team on the road, who everyone expected to dominate us.

Negative: Wasting scoring opportunities in the first half, including not being able to take advantage of two takeaways by the defense. That's how we lost the Miami game, and that's how we'll lose future games if it continues to happen.

Cousins and his wideouts were not on the same page; and it is a bit concerning how in the broadcast it was said that Gruden had to calm him down or something like that. This is why I lean more towards this being more on Cousins. Plus, this isn't the first time Cousins has had accuracy issues in a game. I hope he and the WRs can be on the same page next game.

After an evening of perspective, the biggest positive I saw was that we didn't embarrass ourselves after a hard fought win. I wanted the win SO BAD yesterday, but I just have to remember we were playing one of the top offenses in the league and mostly shut them down. We're not there yet, but the pieces are finally starting to fall into place.

Good-
o Holding Falcons to 19 for most of the game

o Targeting Garcon heavy (even though they weren't in rhythm imo its the right decision to lean heavy on Garcon)

o Crowder

o Derrick Carrier as a back-up pass catching TE

o cutting down on turnovers

BAD-

o run game-

o from playcalling/gameplan to execution from the OL and RBs...gotta be better

o run defense

o need to scheme to help Garcon get open, doesn't consistently separate on his own

o Cousin's inaccuracy and decision making on too many throws

o inability to capitalize on turnovers and field position

Just a painful lost. That is the type of win that would have got us noticed, a real statement game, fuck.

He's the best LT in football has he given up a sack yet?

D jax out is hard on the offense, with Reed out too it sounds like a bit much to overcome. Both d jax and Reed can win their match ups in coverage most the time...knowing that if sounds like Atlanta really just stacked the box against the run.

Also, every time when tom Compton reported as a te, scheme-wise it's a hellava tell on what's coming. Just too banged up for our best effort on offense

They really missed Reed for the steady first downs.

The biggest reason we lost..

We got run all over, and we couldn't run.

I think Atlanta just wanted to make kirk beat em passing and he almost did, unfortunately that last pass was the difference. Our run game was way off yesterday and against the jets it'll be just as hard. Hopefully reed and Jax are back

Jax yes. Reed I dont think should ever come back. The guy has had too many concussions.
Either way 4-3 going to Foxboro!

As if the jets defense isn't tough enough, they get Sheldon Richardson back from suspension and Matt Jones had a dislocated toe yesterday.

I wouldn't count a sure W against the jets just yet. They have been playing great football this season. If kirk has no TOS we will win but revis and Cromartie scare me.
