#Vikings coach Mike Zimmer on 2-2 start: "I know everybody jumped off the bandwagon this week. Two years ago, we were 2-2 and we won 13. Three years ago, we were 5-0 and we won eight. So this isn't going to define us where we are now.''


It's a true statement.

(although if I were Zimmer I'm not sure I would be reminding everybody about my wildly fluctuating team from season to season).

I was exactly thinking that, we are bringing in a TYPE A gunslinger to save his ass and the season as in 2017?

Still stand by the semi desperate to crazy idea of bringing in Sloter off Cards practice squad and giving him Mannions contract and spot... Let Kirk sit and watch if he actually flames out in NY this next Sunday...

So I can't be displeased with the team's craptastic effort last Sunday AND still be on the bandwagon? If that's how Zimmer views me as a fan (a fan that drops mucho $$$ on season tickets mind you) then he can go get bent on Christmas morning. Don't you (ZImmer) dare lay an egg and then play the victim when fans don't like it. Seriously - chuck you farlie.

Exactly

Last year, we were 1-2-1 and went 7-5 and finished 8-7-1 and didn't make the playoffs

What the hell does Zimmer mean of the 2-2 start.

Maybe he should just shut the hell up.

I don't see this team going on a long winning streak.

Jones was horrible last year. If he was better this preseason, maybe (or maybe not, true) it's because he's a vet reserve playing against young guys and/or guys who can't actually play in the league. Bradbury obviously has some issues, but he does good things, particularly in the run game, too. One of the best things about the Patriots is that they use the early part of the regular season to actually get better. Even as critical as I've been of the OLine over the years, I think it's likely they will improve significantly over the course of this season; whether they improve enough, soon enough remains to be seen. Bradbury should get better this year and next year; replacing him with a bad player won't help that process.

GZUZ I think if I posted a quote from Zimmer like “screw the run game, fling the hell out of that thing ... bench Cousins and resign Sloter to start ... trade Rhodes ... drop Rudolph ... my defense is going to fly around like blitz-crazy godless huns from start to finish ... and I don’t know shit, ask the talkvikes people”

Yep.

It's why I don't post much in here anymore.

I can’t speak for Trekgeekscott but, no its not about going to the dogs. I think most posters are frustrated with Zimmer and Cousins, with some, that frustration has boiled over and there is no discussion. Only complaint.

Big deal. Everybody has their opinion.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was on the practice field Wednesday, running and cutting 10 days after suffering a high ankle sprain against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Coach Pat Shurmur would not rule out Barkley for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, although it is highly unlikely he plays.

Barkley worked on the side field with a trainer while his teammates practiced. "I don't know yet. I don't know yet," Shurmur said when given the opportunity to rule out his star running back for this week.
Barkley is not expected to play, according to multiple sources. His eyes are on the following week, when the Giants visit the New England Patriots on Thursday night.

It's like we're watching him turn into Brad Childress.

(Who has as many Playoff wins as Zimmer...)

Jones didn't play well in two and a half games last year. The prior year (2017), PFF gave him their 3rd highest pass-blocking grade for a center (83.2) as a 13-game starter. Giants got rid of him to clear cap space.
