I've seen 2 penalties on the same guy a bunch but they enforced both [:-] Didn't even know that was a thing. Didn't see the game. Was one of them a dead ball penalty? I guess it had to have been but I clearly missed that if it was mentioned. I don't think it was though. No big deal. You can tell we're learning. There was a lot of contact penalties by the D. Hopefully they clean that up. Maybe we are going to play Packer style and commit PI on every playing knowing they won't call them all. As for the 2 calls, I thought the ref said it was PI, and unsportsmanlike conduct at the end of the play so it was tacked on after the PI. re: at the end of the play - I think it has to be "after" to tack on another set of penalized yards Yes, dead ball foul. Yup, bad verbiage on my part....

I hope Zim does well in his new job, I have nothing against him. He came here and did a pretty good job early on but things went south and I believe he and the GM went in different directions. I blame Spielman just as much for allowing it to get that way or not being able to correct it. Zim was old school and did it his way. star athletes are often like little children now days. He will be in a different role now and maybe that suits him better. He's not the boss and can focus on what he does well. Sanders may even show him a few things about working with young adults that he might look at things differently. Either way, the Vikes were a mess when he came here. I wish him well

Ingram now first team, according to media at joint practices. He looked great on Sunday as far as I could tell.

I wish him well he did well, until he didnt like many Viking decisions, we are a couple years too late hoping the new regime can be more proactive instead of reactive

From a 49ers article, talking about scrimmaging with the Vikings: "The 49ers were missing three-quarters of their starting secondary -- Jimmie Ward, Charvarius Ward and Emmanuel Moseley -- and so they gave up 14 catches on 21 pass attempts to Kirk Cousins, who looked better than I've ever seen him. He must be one heck of a practice player, because he's not exactly a gamer." Or, maybe Cousins is gearing up for his best season ?

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2022 9:20:31 PM)
I liked the good things said about Zim. He lost me too but that doesn't mean I have to keep hating on him for it. Slick Rick kind of snuck off with out taking it in the shorts too bad - sometimes it's all about personalities

I think it's the first time I've ever heard of making excuses, in not even a preseason game, but a freekin' scrimmage!! Talk about bias reaching new heights

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2022 9:26:28 PM)
I'm pretty sure in my lifetime I've never witnessed an otherwise great guy being hated as much as Cousins. Pretty incredible when you think about it

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/17/2022 11:17:00 PM)
I really liked Zim But he was a terrible HC If you want longevity you have to keep everyone buying in. Pete Carrol has done it but Zim flat out threw in the towel. The fact that the Wilf's ext both Zim and Rick really exposed them as complete idiots in my eyes.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/18/2022 10:24:57 AM)
Personality-wise, Zimmer reminded me of the new coach Notre Dame brought in prior to Rudy's last season in the movie Rudy. Game-strategy-wise, I'll forever remember him as the guy that would only rush four (or sometimes three) on the most crucial third and fourth downs of his career. The play where Willie Snead caught a ball for a first down after Drew Brees had two hours to wait for a receiver to get open on the series just before the Minneapolis Miracle. The players will likely remember him as the guy that wouldn't even acknowledge them if they walked past each other in a hallway. You know, those entitled, overpaid, baby, pro athletes that thought their coach should say 'hi' every once in a while. Zimmer was garbage.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/18/2022 10:47:01 AM)
Well said David. Exactly why I'm not falling over myself to show I'm so happy for him.

Ricky J -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/18/2022 12:33:47 PM)
Who's happy? -just don't have room for hate or grudges right now.

But I don't like him as an option to lead us to the most elusive promised land I have been searching my whole lifetime...a Superbowl Championship. He piles up the stats. But in crunch time, when the great's games elevate, his stays stagnant. When we need the great leader, he's absent. in big games he tends to disappear or play exceptionally average. But we are stuck with him. Nobody is taking that job from him. at least not this year, and probably not next year either. So I will hope for the best, but in the years he's been here, I've never seen a QB that can lead us to where we all want to go. So Cousins the person, not really a problem with him. I'm sure he's a swell guy....but as a QB, He lacks that hard to define "it" factor.

He joins a list of guys who have disappointed. Culpepper, Herschel Walker, Tarkenton(to a certain extent)
