First reply. Draft somebody good Vikings. Go Team.

A horrible day for me to start the week. I ended a meeting with a client last week at their office one week ago. I had to return again today for three hours this morning. They listen to the Paul Allen show EVERY DAY chimed in on the radio throughout the building. Six hours of Paul Allen in two days is a life times worth. What a terrible show he has. Simply awful topics and guest. Worthless programming. [X(]

David F mentioned in an archived thread that the Broncos fired John Fox despite a stellar 46-18 record as head coach in Denver. When one reads the below analysis regarding that decision, it's easy to draw parallels to Zimmer and the Vikings: https://milehighmaniac.com/2015/01/12/denver-broncos-parted-ways-john-fox/

That's not to mention big games in the regular season as well.

https://thevikingage.com/2020/02/18/report-minnesota-vikings-looking-move-diggs/ On Tuesday, Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd said on his radio show that, “Minnesota is looking to move off (Diggs) for the right pick,” and the receiver is, “unhappy,” with the Vikings.

That's not to mention big games in the regular season as well. Shanahan 2-1, McVay 2-2, Zimmer 2-3. Its hard to argue your point, since Zimmer has more losses with more chances (seasons). I will say the difference in the playoff records - which really aren’t THAT big a difference - bother me less than the way we have lost 2 out of three. Disheartening.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/19/2020 7:35:09 AM)
I think the biggest problem presently is Zim's inability to beat Chi and GB.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/19/2020 8:04:16 AM)
Sounds like we'd suffer a 9ml dead cap hit if we were to trade Diggs so that ain't happening.

Cowherd = 0 credibility. Diggs is our biggest and best weapon on offense. We don't use him enough.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/19/2020 9:42:33 AM)
PFF @PFF · 2h Stefon Diggs saw 10+ targets in a game just once in 2019. The results: 7 rec, 167 yards, 3 TDs

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/19/2020 9:43:05 AM)
PFF @PFF · 13h Stefon Diggs when targeted 20+ yards downfield in 2019: 🚀 16 catches (t-1st) 🚀 635 yards (1st)

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (2/19/2020 9:43:49 AM)
Sam Monson @PFF_Sam · 12h Since it's topical... Over the last 3 years, no WR has a higher contested catch rate than Stefon Diggs. Dude plays bigger than his size.

Cowherd = 0 credibility. Diggs is our biggest and best weapon on offense. We don't use him enough. Yeah. I don't think Diggsy is going anywhere, but we need another reliable route runner who can take the pressure off our top two receivers.

Are those road losses any worse than what Shanahan has done in key roles for arguably the 2 biggest Super Bowl chokes of all time? Or the Rams Super Bowl performance in the 2018 season a 13-3 loss?

Shanahan and McVay have both made it to the Super Bowl within their first 3 seasons. Are you saying not getting to the Super Bowl is better than getting there and losing?
