Yeah, it seems like team Cousins was so happy for him to get the starting job that they are struggling to be objective about how Kirk is doing now. A lot of defending Kirk's issues on the Junkies and Grant Paulsen's been pretty bad about it on twitter ever since Kirk got the job.
I've been saying all along, find me another coach that while he was with a team went 24-40, yet is held in such high regard among the local media of the team. Do they not realize his winning% was the same as Zorn's? Never understood why Shanny gets a pass here.
My first reaction to stuff like this is to think that this is football, it happens to all teams. But no, it doesn't. We see the injury reports every week, I don't remember seeing one from an opponent that looked like this. Certainly not in mid-October.
Agreed. That's 6 starters and a solid RBBC guy. I don't know of any other teams that have something like that going on.
I think it was, until Trent and Lichtensteiger went down. Cousins is going to get blindsided and bullrushed up the middle all day.
Would take a tremendous effort to win this week IMO. Going against the Jets D was going to be tough anyway. Doing it without 2 starters on the OL, your starting TE and possibly without your #1 WR and down a RB, don't make things any easier.
I remember in past years when the Skins players were silently giving up on seasons --- injuries just seemed to come up more frequently and to linger longer and longer. I haven't had any sense yet that the giving up is happening this year, but that injury list is mind-boggling.
It would help if they had at least 1 TE who could block on their roster. But no, we have "receiver types" because that's "the system".
Yup, that's why I added the mid-October thing. Obviously you're going to get more injuries later in the season plus more guys will sit out with nagging injuries when there's nothing to play for but draft position. But something like this after just 5 games?
To be fair, the Jets lost their starting QB.
Down 3 offensive linemen. Lauvao is already out for the year, with Long replacing him.
If Cousins and the offense struggle next week at home against Tampa, then fans will certainly be chanting.
While I dont necessarily agree, lets project forward, hypothetically.
What I'm saying is if they lose the Tampa game, the season is lost. Gruden won't be able to motivate a good performance out of the team the rest of the year. So the question is whether you keep a coach who's been tuned out or bring in a temporary replacement. They're both lousy options. With the team basically giving up on Gruden late last year (which he compensated for by making practices easier), that would be 2 seasons in a row here of that happening. I don't think the owner will tolerate that.
in other news water is wet. They've been outscored 40something to 3 in the 3rd quarter this year. That's coaching.
