Zim is in his 8th year as a HC. Cousins is in his 10th.

They are who they are.

Danielle Hunter is having an MRI on his injured shoulder this morning, but the initial concern was the defensive end tore his pectoral muscle, according to a league source. If that turns out to be the case, it’d be a massive blow for the #Vikings defense.


I hope he's fine and plays for the rest of the year. I don't want to give Zim any reason to point to why he was not successful this year. The only way things are going to change is from the top down. I like the guy, but I think he has to go, sooner rather than later.


I'm not even sure what is likable about him anymore.

Dude thinks he's Bill Parcells and he carries himself like he's won a few SBs.

He's arrogant, impossibly stubborn, defensive and belittling. He's quick to throw players under the bus, refuses to accept blame or make any efforts to improve.

Oh, and he can't beat good teams to save his life.

It is.

We'd play down like that with whoever our QB was and Kirk makes that checkdown playing elsewhere.

He was never going to get a better one.

• He was facing a QB that had thrown 3 more NFL passes in his career than I have.
• We won the turnover battle 2-0
• Dallas handed us SEVEN 1st downs via penalty.

It's one thing to throw to a wide-open fullback. It's another to throw to your fullback with two defenders barreling down and a Pro Bowl WR open behind him. This led to another three-and-out.





Pretty much sums up our OLine too in 1 photo. Bradbury pushed all the back past our QB and Udoh blocking absolutely nobody

If losing 1 defensive starter throws your whole season down the toilet, you have way more issues than you're willing to admit. AKA, we're screwed no matter if Hunter is healthy enough to continue or not.

Most glaring this year because for first time he has surrounded himself with very little tenured football minds in assistant coach ranks. Its all his game, Its Zimmerball 100 percent pure shit and we are all ODing on the bad high...

The emperor has no clothes and its plain to see...

His field general KC is a panzy...

The ranks of soldiers are turning on him...

The media he despises is calling it as they rightfully see it and its going to cause the lil fake General's head to explode soon!

...also agree Zimmer shows high probability traits of being an alcoholic... bad mix with his persona...

Ha! I just noticed Udoh blocking the air. The Bradbury thing was to be expected. That's his default setting. Could Davis be any worse than either of those guys?

The persona and the alcoholism come as a package deal. This I know from first-hand experience.

Minnesota Vikings statements after their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Cooper Rush beat Kirk Cousins, let that sink in!; Why “it’s over” for the Minnesota Vikings; Is Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore the next head coach of the Minnesota Vikings?; Is Justin Jefferson going to pull a Stefon Diggs on this team?

Thanks

I read Scoggins where he just quoted, "So if you’re not frustrated, there’s something wrong with you."
And he didn't elaborate on that, just an example of AT being frustrated.

I personally don't see this as an assault on Zimmer but it clearly indicates an unhappy man. Context beyond that is not clear, imo.
