That’s such a bad turnover.

30 seconds to try and score. Let's run the backup RB up the middle.

Why not just go walk off to the locker room right now.

You realize the decision to play it safe there almost certainly came from Zimmer, right?

Wish he had a tougher grip on that. First defender head into the ball, still kind of had it. But that second defender hits just after and it's loose.

I don't know why they slot him. Maybe because Diggs gets dinged up too much playing there. But Treadwell seems like a brutus and might work in the slot.

You know I don't know. I know Zimmer is a defensive guy and I don't expect him to call plays. But if he's yelling to the OC at times like that saying run up the middle instead of going for first downs than he probably shouldn't be the head coach. Do you really want your head coach sitting on a 3 point lead?

Of course he doesn't call plays. But there isn't a head coach in the league -- any league, on any level -- who isn't involved in all facets of his team's decision-making to some degree. Personally, I would have preferred we took a shot on second down, try to get a chunk of yards so you can get into a manageable third down. But until Thielen's fumble that was looking like one of our best, most complete halves of the season, so I don't have much to complain about, no.

It was a good defensive play by two defenders and the receiver didn't hold on. Happens. Happened last year. Worse were picks over on those dinkity do left passes last year. Sort of remembering an Eagles game first turnover maybe.

For sure, very nice play, tip your cap and all of that ... but that's still a mistake.

It was a good half sure with a couple wasted drives that didn't have to be wasted as they were. But I see I'm going to send your blood pressure through the roof if I keep expecting more from this OC so I'll just leave now and you can pretend everything is perfect in peace.

By all means, complain away!

That was a good defensive play, but I think I've just about had enough of Treadwell.

Jesus Christ...

EDIT: Whew

That was a ridiculous turnover from Cousins.
