Or the pass to Garcon where they had one safety over the top who read Cousins the whole way? He made the same exact throw last week against Philly, and looked the safety off which resulted in a completion.

The third INT was just a bad read and throw. Was due to him staring down Roberts again. If he had the time, he might of seen the TE wide open in the middle of the field, but he released the ball in 2.6 seconds with the LE in his face.

So, yes.. I guess we do live in different worlds. In my world, if you stare down WR's in the NFL in a WCO, you will be butchered. Something, Cousins didn't do in week 2/3.

I believe that the team fell behind late, and Cousins was trying to hard for the big play to compensate for the lack of production we were getting on offense and defense. Outside the ONE Morris TD run, our run game was invisible, and we were behind in double scores in a blink of an eye.

A bigger factor people keep forgetting is we started inside our own 20 7/9 drives before the 4th Q.

Your argument would be true if the ball had been on target but was intercepted by someone who simply read Cousins' eyes and blanketed the receiver. This was not the case. In each case, the ball was intercepted because Cousins flat out missed a receiver who was open enough to make a catch.
