Can't argue with that stat. Being on the negative side of the turnover stat generally translates into more losses than wins...However, you say that as if all the INTs are Kirk's fault. Yes, they are on his stat line, but at least three of the six INTs this season (to me) were not bad decisions or bad throws...tips, bad routes, receivers falling down...all contribute to INTs....

Good
Skins played a much cleaner game; only five penalties. That's a huge improvement.
Kerrigan returning to form.
Secondary played better than any of us expected going into the game.

Bad
Defense on third and fourth down conversions in the second half. Couldn't come up with a big stop.
Cousins and receivers just not on the same page (I don't care to point fingers; both need to work to improve their chemistry)
2 of the last 3 games our running game has not been effective

To me, this is probably the biggest "bad". Even worse, we couldn't stop the run - another concern.

Good - the defense (for about 55 minutes), Breeland especially; KC; Crowder.

Good: we are finally playing football like a real team, and we are going to get our biggest weapon on offense back and win the effin division.

Bad: I thought about this while I was posting my comment above. Purely coincidental that it was a pick six in OT, it was more the failed prediction made with such conviction i was thinking about.

So we shouldn't listen to the guys who do this for a living? The guys who have spent the majority of the lives playing or coaching football? Instead we should listen to a ranting fan on the Warpath? Wow!!

Players, Kirk said it on him! Those two was quick to blame Grant!! Let them say it Kirk does nothing wrong, it's always everyone else. You think Cooley catch pass off target, I'll answer it for you no!! Did he say he was at fault, I'll answer it for you, no!!

A big part of that last play was that Atlanta blitzed a DB that no one picked up even though it was 5v5. Or if they had recognized it and the slot took a hot route into a slant, it was an easy 1st down because the safety was 12-15 yrds off.

Cousins said he should have changed protections. That probably is what he was referring to.

To the people saying cousins sucked, fuck off 24 seconds or so and we go from the 20 to a FG ...
People saying throws were way off to Pierre, suck it ... It hit him in the hands nearly every time.

We played close to an elite team (this season. I still think that Cousins could do a much better hitting his open receivers. Until he does his TD vs. INT ratio will be weak and the team will struggle to win.

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.

I agree with the Francise QB statement! But make me understand this, you call Atl elite. What is GB and New England? This team is not good, they could easily be 1-4! Everybody move the ball on them except Houston. We should have cruise to 30 points!! We running hand offs to wr's and dumb screens! Are guys was open all day, a little hurry up would have kill them! One deep pass, and it was a great pass!! But one!!
