He had to run 4 yards to get enough umph to throw it 45 yds but he did it. He threw it like a hail mary. There was probably a 20 mph wind gust at his back too. If I want to see the real Kirk Cosuins Ill watch the Jets game, the Pats game, the Carolina game.
These are usually good wins. But in this case it increases the odds we have a very bad coach and a BU QB who cant suck for more than one game in a row for another year. We win this game but it dooms us to mediocrity for years longer if DS isn't smart and doesn't get rid of Gruden.
And how did Eli Manning throw for 3 picks and we win by less than a TD if we were any good?
I'll say this. I drive the ball 300 every time I tee it up with a driver and am trying to hit it straight (opposed to a fade, draw, etc. which can lower distance by 10-15 yards depending) and out there. HOWEVER, that doesn't make me a pro --- not even remotely (in the same universe) close. I don't even want to compare my putting/chipping to anyone that is considered a pro as it would be an insult to them and their peers. I am just happy having a single digit handicap. Applying to the NFL, arm strength alone isn't what makes a QB great.
Also, LITERALLY everything you described regarding Cousins' deep pass was WRONG. He took a half step into the throw (like an QB in the NFL would do), there was no wind, and the pass went 58 yards in the air. If you are going to whine like child that your team won, at least be accurate.
As far as why was the game so close:
WAS RUSHING: 37 carries, 105 yards, 2.8 ypc. Blocked FG made it even a game at the end.
I would recommend you do some research on how a front office operates. In a normal, productive, and successful front office --- the owner doesn't fire the HC, that is the GM's job. If Danny boy is the one firing anyone the GM has authority over, then we have FAR FAR FAR bigger problems than Gruden as our HC.
But at the end of the day, you have your personal agenda....... and your jaded eyes can't see threw (pun intended) it..... after all, you thought Cousins took
4 STEPS into a
45 yard pass.
RIP Sean Taylor. You will be missed.
