ORIGINAL: David F. Marvin Jones Jr. 2 Yd pass from Matthew Stafford (Two-Point Pass Conversion Failed) 10 plays, 75 yards, 2:35 This one brought the score to 35-30 in the fourth quarter. Unacceptable. For all of Zimmer's positives this drive is the perfect example of Zimmer's biggest weakness. He freezes up in the biggest moments. 3rd and 17 and he rushes 3 and sits everyone else back in a prevent-style zone. It brought back memories of the Saints 3rd-and-long in the playoffs in 2017. He doesn't learn from his past. I mean seriously - 10 playes, 75 yards, 2:25?!?!?! Agree. Also, giving up that TD with 6 sec to go before halftime didn't help either. I believe that drive was aided by a roughing the passer call on Barr. not Zim's fault here but he gets to passive way to often on his schemes. It would be SO much better if the opposition would quit trying to win when they are playing us, the way we are playing you would think that other teams have access to quality NFL players, coaching staffs, money to pay those players so we can't sign them on the cheap etc. In short you would think that there was a level playing field where the Vikings don't have all the advantages. IOW you have no answer for Barr blatantly roughing the passer to keep that drive alive for a score.
