Mike Zimmer summed up Kirk Cousins’ forgetful Sunday during a 21-16 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field succinctly, because that conversation could’ve lasted all afternoon.
“He can do better,” Zimmer said Monday.
It was baffling. Not only because Cousins is currently the third-most accurate NFL passer of all time at a career 66.3% completion rate,but because a staple of his game for years — play-action — was a fruitless endeavor against the Packers. Cousins’ poor decisions, which are open for debate as to how characteristic they are, and inaccuracy, which is uncharacteristic, were prevalent regardless.
