They have a lot of bad apples around that organization, don't they? They even brought back Kareem Hunt.

Another primetime TNF but taking one of the best fg kicker in the game to pull out another victory even tho they don't get any HFA love from the officiating. Both teams had beating my Philly but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so beat 'em Koo!

Bucs defense is hungover I guess. I haven’t seen an easier opening drive like that in 5 years

Did you bet on Tampa Bay?

Don't forget that current Dolphin that likes to get punchy with people off the field.

Unrelated to KC but **** Joe Mixon too.

Lol as both Evans and Godwin wish Kirk was their QB along with Jefferson

Missed most of the game but mayfield is something else it seems like. He’s actually a top half QB. Not that cousins isn’t but I never would have expected this

Baker played well. They lost because they played conservative & Bucky Irvin fumbled. But I would expect nothing less from a Duck.

Two years ago, it was Geno. This year, it's Darnold.

You think we get Zack Wilson next year? :wink:

Awesome game by both offenses.

It REALLY underlines how stupid it was for Atlanta's front office to pick a QB with their first pick after giving Kirk all that money. The Atlanta defense is atrocious and with glaring holes all over the field. Picking a guy like Cameron Latu or trading back to get one of the quality DBs and more picks should've been the obvious choice.

Of course Cousins could get hurt, but you don't assume that in the $100M QB you just signed. And there's no reason to think Penix would be any better this year than one of the many talented veteran QBs that were on the backup market.

Just such a shame that they made such a boneheaded move that undercut the team, just because the GM wanted to zag (and likely hedge the bet against Cousins, so he has more job security if Kirk got hurt or failed). Really poor management which is costing the team.

Longterm it was the right move imo. If you want to criticize them for giving so much money to Cousins then that's fair.

Do you think Green Bay regrets picking Jordan Love? Of course not. It didn't make a ton of sense at the time. But they got their longterm guy.

That's mostly a bad strategy because by the time your QB starts getting playing time you lose his rookie contract advantage, really shortens your competitive advantage. That's assuming the guy you drafted even turns out to be good, which is far from given.

I have no issue sitting a guy his first year. It's proven to be beneficial.

The problem is they gave Cousins too much guaranteed money. So, he's basically the starter there for two years. The team would have to eat a ton of money to move on after this season.

They could've signed Sam Darnold this offseason & drafted Penix. But people shouldn't be criticizing the pick.
