How the Vikings' pass offense changed since signing Kirk Cousins:

2017: 4th in passer rating
2018: 10th in passer rating

2017: 11th in yards per pass
2018: 20th in yards per pass

2017: 7th fewest sacks
2018: 15th fewest sacks

2017: 2nd fewest INTs
2018: 11th fewest INTs

Last year I asked a guy who is a lifelong Redskins fan why they never signed Cousins to a long-term contract. He said it was because of Cousins' performance in big games. Didn't see the game last night, but it sounds like he had one of those performances.

yeah, cousins isn't special or elite, or anywhere close to it

but he is good enough to win with a very good team built around him

ala flacco

Why were they better with Colt McCoy?

Cousins sure looked damn special against the Packers a few years back on SNF. Threw some really pretty, perfectly placed balls.

so did that 4th string QB who had never started a game before with the 49ers

our defense has never been a very good test for determining how good opposing QB's are

they all look like gods

maybe colts a better QB?

[gbgary]

cousins is way above average. their o-line is down from what it was last year. it's affecting both the passing and running game for them.

McCarthy said Graham will attempt to play through his thumb injury, while Daniels is expected to miss a few weeks with a foot injury.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
McCarthy on Jimmy Graham: He intends to try to go. I don't have a diagnosis on Mike Daniels. I think he's going to be a couple of weeks.

McCarthy said Graham will try to work with different splints and said every injury is different so it's hard to say whether it will work out.

McCarthy said the four players who missed the Seattle game are still question marks and he won't know their chances until practice Wednesday. Said he may have to add a defensive lineman with Daniels out several weeks.

McCarthy on message: We fully understand where we are. We need to win on the road. That's something we haven't done. It's a tough place to play there. Second time around in the division is a fun time in my experience. This is all about beating the Vikings. We have to win.

ah good ole packer hamstring

how many weeks has cobb missed now with the bad hammy? don't forget the bye week

only a matter of time before he follows in so many other packers and ends up on IR because of a bad hammy

about to miss his 6th game. 7 weeks since the injury

broken bones heal faster then pulled hamstrings in green bay

Any word on whether Kumerow is practicing? I wouldn't mind him and Cobb trading places.

If he is it hasn't hit the wire yet.

They lost their OC, and that has changed things for the worse more than Cousins, IMO. I told a lot of my Vikes friends that they would miss Shurmur in that offense as he schemed the hell out of getting players open. Hell, he made Keenum look like a legit option at QB. Couldn't stop him from leaving though. The Iggles braintrusts from last year are looking like flukes and MN got bit by that.

My bad. I meant Case Keenum.
