Oline was pretty good today. Gotta give them credit.

I have to say this: I'm happy Diggs and Thielen spoke up. Call them Divas, whatever. Maybe this is what was needed to light a fire from this offense. Makes no sense to have such a pedestrian game plan when you have these studs that can create nightmares for the defense. Great confidence builder for the whole team

Watch the haters come out singing a different tune. "prove me wrong again" etc b*sh I assume, no talk of Keenum this week as well. It should be never. Keenum is a joke. Vikes made the right move moving on from him. We might not win with Cousins, but we got the best of Keenum and it wasn't close to good enough.

GB and Chi games he didn't look like he even belonged in the league. But he has put together back to back superb games. If he keeps it up those games will be in the rear view mirror

Post presser Diggs acknowledged he had 2 drops and wouldn't accept praise for his overall performance because of that.

My gosh. I had to do a double take on where the 9'ers/Rams game was being played. It's a see of red in LA.

quote: ORIGINAL: Bill Jandro Game balls Cousins Diggs Oline Stepfanski Yep. I’d rank them: 1. Oline 2. Stefanski 3. Cousins 4. Diggs Amazing how good this offense looked when the line was giving Cousins time and they were getting downfield making their blocks. Excellent game plan by Stefanski. Cousins looked poised and made good decisions throughout the game. Diggs got down to business, ran great routes and made the catches he’s getting paid to make. Hopefully the team can build on the victory.

Back in the day you had to give the OL a few seasons together to gel. Maybe, just maybe a couple of things are coming together: - The OL getting it together after a handful of game (although I have doubts that gelling can overcome some individual woes). - Cousins flipping a switch after all the criticism. Also, perhaps all the run-first stuff from Zimmer has bought us some games.

Honestly, I think if they just bit the bullet and put in Dozier for Elflein they would eliminate the worst of the Ole plays and get some consistency going... for the injury situation they played great today.

He was today and needs to continue getting rid of the ball quickly. He did escape the pocket a couple times that didn't look designed and improvised well. Kept his cool where he seemed to panic Chi/GB games. Point being if he gets rid of the ball in a timely fashion the oline looks better.

Sure just don't play anybody at left guard.

A couple of those slants thrown on immediate pressure made a huge difference.

"Cousins, I think every defense is going to want that guy to throw the ball," said Brown, who was teammates with the QB in Washington in 2017. "For me, that's probably the weakest part of their offense, is him. Everything else is good. They've got a good running game, probably one of the best in the league. They have real good receivers." The Eagles, down to their second and third-string corners, won't leave U.S. Bank Stadium echoing the same sentiments about Cousins, who finished Sunday's game having completed 22 of 29 passes for 333 yards, four touchdowns, one interception and a 138.4 passer rating. After the game, Brown was asked to comment on Cousins. "I'm here to talk about the game. Not about that," he said. Who knew Rag is Zach Brown. NO WONDER he isn't here now... he's flying back to Philly!

Pure speculation, but maybe the coaching helps.

Everything else is good. They’ve got a good running game, probably one of the best in the league. They have real good receivers. “You just want them to pass the ball. You want Kirk Cousins to get it in his hands.” Brown and Cousins played together in Washington in 2017, before Cousins signed his $84 million guaranteed deal with the Vikings. “I realized when I was in Washington, he was kind of careless with the ball. But at the same time, hey, you make the bed you sleep in, . . .” Brown said. “Make him frustrated back there. “First we have to stop the run, and then make him frustrated back there. Our main concern is stopping the run because if they can run the ball, they’re going to win.” For all the money they spent on a quarterback, Brown has a point about the Vikings. They’re currently third in the league in rushing, and 29th in the league in passing. The Eagles are the near-perfect complement, first in the league in run defense but 27th against the pass. Isn't Zach brown a country singer? What does ne know about football? I think Kirk will carve up the philthy defense. Pretty sure the country singing version could put up the #s the football playing version has put up. Zach Brown is the best new country singer of this millennium. If only he could play football, OR had a clue about anything.

My favorite play was a 7 yd pick up by Diggs. Zero Blitz. Cooks gets in there to slow the rush, nice to see after a horrendous pass blocking game vs CHI. Cousins with a dart, no panic. Second favorite play was the 3rd and long pick up to Thielan (think it was 3rd and 13). Good line protection. Cousins an absolute dime to a place where no one but his guy could get it. Theilan a nice diving catch.
