Skins beat down of the Broncos

[MTK]

He forced a throw trying to make a play in the red zone, what QB doesn’t on occasion?? I don’t see it as a big deal or some grand indictment against paying him.

I swear some of us would have wanted Brady gone after the first half of this year's SB if he was playing for the Skins

Brady threw a pick six in the Super Bowl, and he also threw another one to the Bills on Sunday. Even the best slip up from time to time.

S/N people forget that Kirk being the highest paid qb is a thing that will literally only last until the next good qb gets paid. It's a revolving door of "highest paid qb in the NFL."

Exactly, that's my point.
Once a QB is perceived as top 5, when he has a bad game we think "Hey, even the great ones have bad games", but each time Cousins throws a bad ball it's "See?! He'll never get there!".

Not saying Cousins is top 5, not saying every body here being critical of KC thinks like that.
I just think we give too much meaning to each game/each play, we need to look at the big picture.

KC just threw 300 yards and 3 TDs on one of the best defenses (and secondaries) in the NFL, with no true #1 WR, no running game and a depleted offensive line.
I can live with one bad read, especially when he's been asked to take some shots!

Totally agree with the above posts, Kirk has improved by leaps and bounds in extending plays and using his speed. He is faster than he looks.

Another big difference in his game is having the balls to throw the ball into tight windows, especially in the redzone. Our redzone efficiency is up this year and our running game isn't, so do the math.

But throwing ballsy passes mean more interceptions. I have no problem with a more ballsy Kirk.

As long as it isn't 2014 ballsy Kirk, I'm cool with it. That guy was just winging it, if you haven't seen improvement from then to now I can't help you.

It's disappointing that Kirk has given Doctson more tight window opportunities, and Josh isn't coming down with contested balls. Worse yet, he looks more concerned about taking a big hit than just catching the damn ball. I can count at least 4 drops that #18 has had in the end zone this season. Regardless of who is QB next year, Doctson needs to raise his game. I long for a badass like Garcon on the WR corps.
