The VIkes are a fire sale. We are only one teeny step above the putrid Lions.... We have a few players that are worthy of trading for some draft picks and they ought to do so quickly. But Spielman needs to go, He will NEVER build a SB winner. The D is aging and what "stars" we had are pas...

Exactly. He is the HC, after all. I can't wait to have a real one, who takes responsibility for both sides of the ball, special teams, the coaches on his staff, and owns up to his mistakes in press conferences. I can't wait for this 'playing not to lose' philosophy to be a thing of the past. At thi...

The path forward is: Step 1: Fire Zimmer (should be right now, or 3 years ago really, but most likely after we lose the next 3 games and are out of the playoff race at 3-7) Step 2: Trade Cousins (we could trade Cousins to NO right now if we do Step 1 today but our leadership won't do that so we'll t...

Here's the thing though... We HAVE a defensive minded head coach yet we have a middle-of-the-road defense which can't stop anyone when we need a stop to win. We HAVE a conservative minded head coach who prioritizes TOP yet has no idea how to manage the clock at the end of the half and the game. We ...

He's not the only problem. He's just one of the biggest problems (and the reason they have a below average OC, among many other issues). I was ready to fire everyone for that Klint hiring two weeks in. It was a complete failure on the part of the HC to not recognize his limitations from an offensiv...

Like I said, the one consistent thing about Zimmer and Cousins is losing to above .500 teams. Not sure where the team goes from here, but Zimm is not the only issue. Sure, but we have a better W/L record with basically anyone else as our HC this year. Not sure our W/L record changes with a differen...

Did we just witness a man go senile on live TV?

In a weird way I feel bad for Zimmer. To be completely exposed as a terrible in-game coach with an outdated defensive scheme in a nationally televised game. He's gotta be embarrassed. Though I'm sure he'll blame the kicker or something. Hopefully the Wilfs are embarrassed enough to finally can him s...

POWs — Defense at the end of halfs and/or games . It’s been an issue in every game except the Seattle game. The defense has given up 7th fewest points of any team in the second half of games despite every game either being close at the end or being a blowout against the best second half scoring QB ...

There are no facts except for your deep, deep, deep, deep, deep hidden facts that you always find to denigrate Cousins with. Last year things you found important aren't important this year and things you found unimportant last year are suddenly important this year. Your Cousins hate is pathetic. I ...

Positives 1. The offensive line — They allowed just 7 pressures on the day. All graded well in both pass blocking and run blocking. Is it a coincidence that they have their best game in Christian Darrisaw’s first start? 2. The defensive line — Got pressure on 33% of Darnold’s dropbacks and 5 sacks....

Y’all might be living under a rock on this one, but have y’all seen Sam Darnold this season so far? This was the first game all season that he was stymied all leading to the 4th quarter. Dude is averaging a near-300 passing yards a game with minimal TO ratio. To call him a backup QB is a disservice...

I turned it off to cook dinner when CAR had 4th down and 10 at their own like 3 yard line after 3 drops in a row with 2 minutes to go... how did this go to OT!?!?! Let me guess... MIKE ZIMMER? Nevermind - just watched the highlights on YouTube. Classic Zimmer defense giving up not only multiple 4th ...

Wow has this board changed.i gave Zimmer his chance, end of last season I had enough. But they kept him on. Now after a win. The mood has changed to fire him. I am not disagreeing with the mood. Just at the change. I think there are problems inside the locker room People are finally realizing the o...

That Cousins/Zimmer clip might be my favorite highlight since 2018. Maybe only the Thielen catch in OT @ Saints is better. Anyway... it's almost as if Zimmer thinks to himself "what game plan can I come up with that would make our opponents the happiest?" Everyone knows that Detroit has a ...
