Complete BS he started to slow down between the 5 and 10 yard lines. He knew what he was doing.
I totally agree. He completely lost where he was in relationship to the pursuit. Had he kept up his speed you can make a case that we never would have gone to OT.
I'm thankful we have Cooper. Yes, he made a mistake today. He won't do it again. And he played a great game. Our D is better for having him here.
He is a decent corner and I'm glad we have him. But you have to ask "What was he thinking?" on that blocked FG. Actually I have the answer, he wasn't thinking.
@soulman - as with many things, I see it differently and I already stated why. Cooper wanted that TD - it's not everyday a DB gets a TD. He made a mistake but his mistake wouldn't have happened if he hadn't made a great play. I'll forgive him the mistake and take the three points along with a strong 2nd half performance. If he were sitting the bench as you seem to suggest he should have, we'd probably have lost the game due to his absense in the secondary.

Agree, the guy helped shut down a very good passing O. Hell he might have had a pick in the 2nd half if not pushed by the WR(ie offensive PI, which wasn't called really getting kind of tired of the Bears not getting these types of calls at SF) hell he probably should have had it anyway but it's definitely harder when you are falling b/c of being pushed.
Guy allowed 1 rec for 10 yards. I'll take that every Sunday please.

Agreed. Have 2 points to add: 1. hopefully he learned from that extra dumb move, 2. he is our only long-term CB, contract-wise, we need him to work so we can focus on other holes
