Re: Is this Zimmer's last year with the Vikings as head coach?

Do you do anything but complain about other members? :deadhorse: I’m “complaining about other members” because I called trading for sloter or Keenum unrealistic? Sorry but it is. Not complaining. I’m expressing that it’s unrealistic. Nor a good idea for the team to do You complain incessantly about...

Re: Sloter

Because in the course of a single game against good competition there are going to be moments when your QB has to make plays. Over the course of 3 or 4 games in the playoffs, these will be many such moments. Kirk can't handle those moments. But the same is true for the defense, is it not? For the s...

Re: Is this Zimmer's last year with the Vikings as head coach?

Nobody has said most of the things that you assert are being said and nobody is judging Kirk Cousins off of one game. You are simply making strawmen to pound into the ground. Speaking for myself, I want the Vikings to move on from Cousins after his contract is up. I want them to either trade for a ...

Re: Is this Zimmer's last year with the Vikings as head coach?

My point is, we're 1-1 and to have these unrealistic discussions and call for everyones head is as premature as it can get. Overdue if you ask me. The writing has been on the wall for years. Zimmer is mediocre as a HC, and people just keep drinking the purple kool-aid. We lost the only real challen...

Re: Our OC may not be the answer

He's being asked to sit back in obvious passing situations with a garbage offensive line and no real running threat and then expected to thread balls into tightly covered receivers when we know that Cousins isn't great at evading pressure, throwing on the run, or taking a lot of contested chances. ...

Re: Why did Kyle Sloter NOT make the roster? Vikings will REGRET this!!!

The cutting of QB Kyle Sloter off the Vikings 53 man roster today was not only STUPID, but it was also inept from a business standpoint as the Vikings received ZERO compensation for him. He just walked out the door. The QB position, as anyone who knows and watches sports, is THE MOST important posi...

Re: Why did Kyle Sloter NOT make the roster? Vikings will REGRET this!!!

In fairness, it's a holiday weekend. Teams usually take a bit of time to iron out their 53 after cut down day. Actually that doesn't matter. Sloter, by virtue of having less than 4 seasons in the NFL, is subject to the waiver process. The claiming period for players placed on waivers ended at noon ...

Re: Vikings trade for Vedvik

I wish I could be so optimistic. I think Bailey is finished, and will return to 2018 form as soon as the season starts. Kickers rarely come back from the dead, and this team destroys kickers. Once that bug of doubt gets into their head it eats all the way through their tiny brains. Bailey was stink...

Re: Vikings trade for Vedvik

Yeah, this is looking more and more like a colossal mistake. Vedvik missed another FG against Buffalo. Now 0-for-3. And his short punt in the fourth quarter gave Buffalo great field position. Preseason games are meaningless. But the kicking game isn't. Vedvik may have just kicked his way off the te...

Re: Vikings trade for Vedvik

I can only imagine what everyone has already said, but at this point, I'm just gonna go with "the curse of Gary Andersen" for this team with kickers... Their only saving grace is that this guy will potentially be the punter and kickoff guy, but trading for a 5th should have meant he's a l...

Re: Vikings vs. Cardinals thoughts

All signs that Zimmer is losing or has already lost the team. Or maybe just a lackluster effort from Zimmer on that particular day, if you want to paint some lipstick on the pig. Either way, Zimmer needs to shoulder more of the blame for these anemic efforts that happen too frequently. What was the...

Re: Vikings vs. Cardinals thoughts

Yeah Zimmer said in his postgame that they didn’t gameplan or script any plays. That being said, he was pissed with the effort put out. He even said some guys on defense didn’t go into the huddle and thus didn’t even know the play call. That’s pretty infuriating, yeah it’s a preseason game but I re...
