Zimmer said they had plans to be aggressive but it just didn’t work. “We have to get the ball in the hands of our playmakers”

Hard to keep the locker room or fans happy with that.

'We had plans not suck with under 2 minutes left in the 1st and 2nd half but it just didn't work. We have to learn to call a game so we're not wasting opportunities. '

It's what I've been saying all off-season. Games are won and lost in the last two minutes of each half. Every game has been close. He's a bad crunch time quarterback. That's why we are a 3-5 team heading towards about seven wins for the year.

The team is 3-4 homer and for alot of reasons including KCs 2min performance last weekend … overall this season, he has played well in 2 min drills and made your crow eating one of the few highlights of the season.

Historically, he’s not been good at it, almost everyone gets that … you dont own that, you’ve just worked your ass off to be as annoying about as possible. Congratulations, thats one of your few highlights: you’ve managed to be more annoying than usual.

There was Crow eating?

Not in public.

But privately … acknowledged by his disappearance after the solid KC 2 min performances this season.

From Luke Braun’s Twitter:

Finished the tape. By my count, there were 11 plays (!!!) where there was

-A deep option open
-The time available to throw it
-But a checkdown instead

There were more if you count the ones I don't blame on Kirk Cousins specifically. Kirk lost that game.

There's guys making a lot less $ who can be that conservative.

Defended the guy for years as a guy with all the arm talent but just without adequate time. No more. Done regardless of sunk $. Throw Zimmer and Spielman out for orchestrating this shit.

Just look at the stats for Anthony Barr, compared to Nick Vigil…

Tell me who is over rated and teachers pet?

As far as I’m concerned..this defense has way too much money tied up in legacy players, while actual better players, sit or just play special teams.

A FN 7-11 cornerback..could… not.. possibly… suck.. worse than Breeland.

And if he did… I’m sure he would have the common sense to STFU about what a hero/ warrior he is.

I’m done with Zimmer and his defensive and offensive philosophies..

Adios CHILLY2.0

If I was a betting man.. I’d be betting the Vikings to fail at covering the spread .. even against Detroit, for the rest of the season..

After the next three games…

It’s gonna get downright ugly in the stands, and in that overpaid, underperforming locker room…

My mid-season report (almost): The end of times for Spielman-Zimmer-Cousins as Vikings.

This looked like the most non-Spielman-Zimmeresque team we've ever had to start a season. It also looked like the most un-Cousins Cousins to start the season.

Signing veteran FAs up the yinyang with no cap ... even overlapping positions like DT and CB; four #3 and three #4 draft picks against only one #6 and no #7!!! (including #1 and #3 OL picks) ... then Cousins playing well even in crunchtime ... even a change in attitude towards the kicker for godsakes ...

It doesn't matter. This is still going to fail on Zimmer's out of touch thick-skulled defensive approach and offensive/ST meddling, and on Cousins' robotic nature.

Its the scorpion riding the frog thing ... they is what they is.

Paying Harrison Smith like he's Jamaal Adams was really a stupid move.

Should have used it to sign Woods long term

At least there's a chance it pushes the Pack away from the #1 seed and 1st week bye.

no team is good via paying big money to safeties or linebackers. A big waste.

D-Line and Cornerbacks is where you back up the Brinks truck.

Woods has been making plays.

Smith looks like he's lost about 5 steps.

Woods has 2 INTs, 2 FFs, 5 PDs and 1 Sack. And he's 6.5 years younger than Smith.

Smith had 0 INTs, 1 FFs, 3 PDs and 1 Sack.

Woods has a 1.75M cap hit and will be a UFA next year.

Smith has 4 more years at an average hit of 16M...

I propose Rodgers be suspended for the year and the Packers forfeit their 1st round pick.

Being an idiot, deliberately ignoring the safety and well-being of others, has no consequences in America, any longer, especially if you have money, fame, and celebrity status.
Eventually, justice or karma may catch up with you, but if not..
The Short attention span, of your fanboys/girls, will absolve you of all responsibility.

People who do things outside of socially accepted norms, count on “ it’s not my problem/right to judge” AND “ it’s my right”, “ you don’t get to tell me what to do”.. attitudes, winning out over personal responsibility, or actual consequences.

They are counting on the fact that you are going to give up in frustration.

Rogers will do his Covid protocols, banking on his wealth and status to get him the health care he needs to survive this, while maintaining the socially damaging position that “ it was no big deal..”

He, like many other Covid deniers before him, needs to suffer in agony, on a ventilator…

But, in this case, I want “Mr instant Name Recognition” to survive and have debilitating long term after effects.

I want this to cost him his NFL career and cause him the “ long haul disease” effects.. as Karma.

I won’t go so far as wishing it on his kids… they don’t have a choice.. but Karma… won’t care…tragedy, is karmas middle name.

I want Rogers, and his likeminded idiot admirers, to spend the rest of his life doing “Mia culpa” over his anti vax stance, while sponsors drop him into the “ not with a ten foot pole” pool

I just want him to learn a lesson and become a role model, telling the public to get vaccinated. I'd take that. His words can go a lot further than his suffering.
