On to the Vikings (Pregame)

[metalskins]

I've been very disappointment with Reed when it comes to injuries. Not that I'm disappointed in Reed himself. When he's healthy, he's a weapon, but he just can't seem to stay healthy. I almost never expect him to play in all 16 games - that would probably be a first in his career if he ever did. But I'm not sure if he's even going to see the field anymore this season. As long as Davis continues to perform well, I say keep Reed out and let him heal up completely.

As for the offensive line. I definitely understand the idea of giving them one more week, but you also don't want to get Cousins hurt. That's taking a huge chance.

Totally agree. If the doctors say they can play without risk of reinjuring themselves, then if I'm Jay I'm going to them and saying suck it up buttercup we really need you.

Cousins was awesome on Sunday, delivering several big throws while staring down the gun barrel, knowing he was going to get blasted. It won us the game and he deserves mad props.

But remember, he had to stare down the gun barrel knowing he would get blasted, and he got blasted.

I don't want him doing that more often than he absolutely has to.

In a way, that was kind of a positive thing for Cousins to go through that. Worst possible odds, and Cousins delivered. He has to be beaming with a lot of confidence.

I think if folks on the O line can go, they should even if not 100%. The risk of re-injry is important and has to be calibrated for each individual, and we have to make sensible decisions, including whether going at less than 100% is going to render someone less effective than a backup.

But I am worried about the risk of new injury -- specifically, to Cousins -- if we don't have some of our starting O line playing. And if Cousins goes down, let's be honest, the season is truly over. And imagine how awful the contract discussions would be if he were to go out for the rest of the season after getting blindsided by Griffen (knock on wood).

He’s got balls of steel, those last two throws to Quick and Doctson were just clutch AF.

The question of whether he can play well without Jackson and Garçon has been answered. Because not only has he played well without them, but he’s played well with an atrocious offensive line now.

Are you saying he should be re-signed?

If they do not find a way to resign him than it is going to get really ugly and possibly for a long time. (See 1991-2012).

I don't disagree. I'm just saying we got to protect the man. Hate seeing him get hit as hard as he did on Sunday. I'd rather him be clutch and upright than clutch and on his back.

No doubt, the line has been JV quality the last 2 games.

And no running game whatsoever. We have one of the top quarterbacks in the game, every other top quarterback is a fixture for the next few years except ours. We will find a way to let him walk. Lol

That would really hurt us. Even if this week I'm more worried about our OL than our D.
