Sure I'd love to keep our defense like the rest of ya'll, but this game favors the offense, were stacking the decks against ourselves by spending all of our cap space on defensive talent. It certainly doesnt help that our defense takes a "what you see is what you get" approach and literally runs the same scheme that half the league does. Better to hand pick a few of our standouts coming off rookie contracts, and go heavy offense next offseason. The shame of it all is we missed out on quite a few opportunities that would have us sitting really pretty RIGHT NOW, with potentially a top offense and top defense. Now were going to be forced to pick one, and I say we pick the side that the game of football favors these days.

Also Cousins would have saved our team this year. Anyone who's just judging him based on the Vikings total wins are not looking at the real picture. I dont think Cousins is anything special, but he is a tier better than Bortles. It doesnt matter if we have to cut defensive talent to keep him, our expensive guys are old anyway and our rookies should just take over their cap space.

It was one game. It doesn't define nor make or break our season. Still plenty of football left. R-E-L-A-X. 

No sense in getting caught up in the "what if's" and "could have been's". Mahomes is successful in Kansas City because he's successful in Kansas City. It doesn't mean it would translate to success anywhere else in the NFL. Same thing goes for Cousins. They broke the bank for that guy and even though he's looked good here and there in a few games. Guess what? You're what your record says you are.
