My $.02 cents:

1. I really don’t know what to say. This may be the worst of many worst games in a while. I thought the Detroit game was bad but we somehow ended up winning. That makes this one worse IMO. So many chances to win. The refs gifted us a 1st and G at about the 5 and we still end up with a FG. I texted my buddy at that time and said “great....now we’ll lost 20-16”.

2. The clock management has been horrible for years. Same coach and QB for a few years and it still happens. Kirk says he leaves the TO’s to the coach. Zimmer can’t even remember that he just called a TO late in the game in a critical situation. The 2 “leaders” of this team really can’t be trusted.

3. It’s time.....lose Cousins, Zimmer and Spielman. Tank the season and start over. Get what you can for guys like Theilen, Harrison and anyone else who is longer in the tooth and won’t be contributing when we are rebuilt in a couple/few years.

4. Our main issue, IMO, is interior line on both sides of the ball. Bradbury gets rag-dolled all game long and Udoh is a penalty machine because he gets beat off the ball so quickly. On defense, we just can’t stop the run. A bad run for the other team is 2-3 yds. A bad run for us is minus 5. That kills our team on both sides of the ball. When the ball is run on 1st down, are always 2nd and 12 while the other team is 2nd and 7. That is the crux of our problem. Spielman tried to fix that problem defensively by signing Pierce and Tomlinson. Barr and Kendricks are back and healthy. How is it that we can’t stop the run?!?

5. We lost to Cooper Rush

6. Knock the ball down Breeland! The 1st time you’re actually in the same area code of the WR all game and it bounces off your chest into the hands of the WR?!?

7. If we had won last night in any kind of decent fashion I would have been yelling to trade for a CB. After that mess, I think we need to start selling off our own guys. This team is going nowhere.

8. Do you think Andy Reid, or any other competent coach, would find a role on offense for Kene Nwangwu? This guy is supposed to be a speedster with good moves and you don’t have a play or 2 for him to work into the offense? His only role last night was to watch kickoffs go over his head. Why even activate him? This team does not use their weapons. Maybe some of Ham’s plays could have gone to him.

9. Of course Hunter goes down the week we “trade” (give away) Weatherly. Saw he recorded a sack too.

10. Barr, Mackenzie and Dantzler have to make that tackle on 3rd down. One of the many reasons we lost that game. I’ve never seen a Vikings team so bad at tackling. Other than maybe Kendricks and Hunter the RB’s/WR’s always get the extra yard or 5 after we hit them. When Dallas was hitting us yesterday we were going backwards. Total opposite when we were hitting guys.

Not happening with their contracts.

Gotta try! This fish stinks from the head down. Time to clean house.

I don't have a problem with AT getting paid.

Cousins $ will hurt a lot. Especially paying for a guy that's not on the team.

Harrison do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around Smith's is an albatross.

I thought I'd heard that Cousins would count $10 million against the cap if we trade/waive or release after June 1st?

Maybe I misheard but that number, if accurate or close is manageable for a 1 year rebuild.

Many have shared my thoughts already, but I'm gonna vent, too!

That was what we brought to that game after a bye? Wow.

The clock management was sooooo bad. Again.

Our OL got weaker as the game went on.

Poor playcalling and design.

Cooper ****ing Rush?!

Missed tackles all over the place.

"Stars" on defense are a big disappointment (other than EK, IMHO).

I don't really watch much NFL any more, for lots of reasons, and mostly watch MN games on DVR ( so I can skip the commercials). Wasted 3+ hours watching that steaming pile of shit last night. Ugh.

This team is going to implode this year. The next few weeks are going to be a bloodbath.

Time for Spielman and Zimmer to go. Period. They have had their shot.

The Titans need a RB. Could we eat $13 million by trading Cook? Mattison could get us a nice pick.

I don't know the exact in and outs the Cousins contract but I don't bring him back.

Take our lumps now and in 2022. We need a hard reset. Make everyone
available for the right price. Pick a QB with a top pick after 2022.

I can take them losing if we can move on from this crap.

I've sat on this thought for weeks because it's not fun, at any level, to even bring it up. Does anyone else notice how Zimmer shakes when they do close ups on him? His play card is moving all over the place when he's trying to cover his face and hide his call. With him not remembering he just called timeout, and that, it gets you to think he's either:

A. scared to death out there
B. he has underlying medical stuff going on


I want change, like all of us, but from a human perspective...I hope like hell that I'm either crazy or it's A.
