Okay KC, in the next two weeks, show me that I should be drink the Kool-Aid.

You lead the team to wins in the next two - a prime time game and an big, huge away game - and I will most definitely like that!

We win the string and we finish 10-6, I say we franchise you and make it work from there. The only caveat is that, although the team doesn't have to win because of you, they can't win despite you. Decent, solid football, reasonable accuracy, and no killer TO's and I am all about you having turned a corner.

Show me the money, Kirk. Show me the money.

Kirk vs Matt Cassel, if he is for real he will show up.

Kirk got a bit better as the game went on, but the biggest thing I was disappointed in was his failure to recognize some of Dallas's obvious defense tendencies. When we ran on 2nd and 1 and 3rd and 1 back to back, as soon as Dallas brought 68560 guys up to the line, at least change it to an outside run or a slant or something. Even if you throw out a fake audible just to see if some of the extra guys will back off.

Kirk was ok tonight but just ok. Rushed a few throws he could have made and that might have extended a drive or two. But this loss is more on our inability to run or pressure the QB. In the 4th quarter, Cassel had all day. Terrible penalties today too. We just looked like we crumbled under the pressure of flirting with first place and the playoffs. I hope people stfu about all that until we win at least 3 more games.

If there is any good news to be had, it is the fact that 8-8 and even 7-9 will probably win the division this year. We are still in the chase. If nothing else, we must win the remaining division games, and hope that everyone else loses.

The loss last night was not because of the QB. One thing i hated watching was the fact that Dallas blitzed basically on every down, and we could not make adjustments to compensate. Kirk was too rushed and hurried to do anything.

JoeRedskin · 12-08-2015, 09:30 AM

KC never made them pay for the pressure. Simple as that.

Back to full-on "KC is who he is and who has always been." Good enough to hang around the league for many years. However, we have seen his ceiling and bumped our heads on it.

skinsfaninok · 12-08-2015, 09:36 AM

Kirk is a good qb but not and will never be a great one imo. He is too inconsistent down field and he doesn't see a damn blitz coming to save his life

NoCalHail · 12-08-2015, 10:31 AM

Kirk was definitely shaken by the blitz. I wish there was more in the play book or at least more plays called to counter the blitz. It's like McVay didn't think Dallas would keep blitzing so he called these long drop backs on obvious passing downs.

At least Cousins stood up to the blitz and was able to deliver the football. Also he didn't throw a pick under duress. Cousins had a great game considering the run game was pretty much nonexistent yet again....

I was fine with Cousins play. To me the bigger question was the play selection. To me it seems that no matter who the coach is, I never see this team being able to adjust when the pass protection is not working. Don't know why we didn't see more slants or screen passes to M. Jones.

Sometimes I wonder if McVeigh knows what he is doing. Gruden would be prudent to at least consider replacing McVeigh with a coordinator who is better versed in the West coast offense...

One thing is important to know about kirk, he's pretty damn clutch in the 2 min offense. He has done it 4 times this yr just last night we lost but overall even dating back to that ravens game he appears to embrace the moment. That throw was a beautiful pass to djax. I think kirk deserves a good contract

Brody81 · 12-08-2015, 03:23 PM

It's funny how Kirk haters go missing when he plays well and they win. Then decide to eat him apart as soon as they lose like he is the only guy on the field. He played well despite not having a run game and poor play calling. Moreover, can't remember the last QB we have had thats been so clutch at the end of games like Kirk.
