Fortunately Bynum is locked up for 3 more years.

Unfortunately, we likely lose Woods because of Smith's deal.

Has anyone else noticed, that Mike Zimmer's hand sometimes shakes?

I am wondering if this is a sign that he has Parkinson's or some other neurological condition. Shaking of the hands is usually a sign of a problem with the brain or nervous system.

A friend of mine and I both independently noticed the shaking in the last two games.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed.

My guess is alcoholism. Red face, dystended abdomen, and the shakes. He's in a high stress environment as well.

A win is a win but it's still not good enough. Zimmer has to go. That said fact that the butt-fumbler talked about multiple times shows how inept he's become. The only team in the league that has had at least a 7 point lead in every game and we sit with a losing record. That proves that there is talent on the team and we are getting outcoached.

130 extra yards
13 minute positive TOP
same TO ratio
better ST's

and yet, it still came down to the final possession. Just sloppy. 10 penalties

Oh, and, be thankful for that one on the fake punt. I'm seriously doubting he picks up 7 yards the way that looked.

That's how it felt live. Unless he JJ like drags several defenders several yards ( a play as exiting as a non TD play could have been)

Nope. Would have been an ugly thud and possible game changer.

Such an incredible play. I admit not giving Cousins the credit he deserved for that. Option for highlight of the year.

Man if we played more like that!!!!

Loved that play.

Jefferson powered his way to ta first down. all by himself. NO vikings pushing the pile, he dragged three guys to the marker.

Seems like Tyler Conklin is more involved in our pass game than Irv Smith ever has been.

To be fair I think he was going to be.

I like Conklin as our guy as much if not more than Rudolph.

I think Conk and Smith would be a great pair.

Theilen was doing the opposite of pushing the pile helping. Looked like a very casual observer on the play.

Through nine games (seven starts) Conklin has 35 catches for 353 yards and 3 TDs. Those numbers extrapolated out for an entire season will be better than Rudolph did on average and will challenge his best season.

Great play by Jefferson but the defenders were trying to strip the ball, not tackle.

Speaking on Thielen and non-tackling, anybody see the clip of Bridgewater’s non-tackle this weekend? Horrible. Hated to see it.

worse than anything Jeff George or Cam Newton ever pulled.

that Bynum kid is good.

extending Smith is looking like a pretty dumb move

he really seems like a natural...also, he looks like he enjoys laying the wood....

Spielman's drafting prowess at it again...

Has Mason Cole's play in Garrett Bradbury's absence necessitated a conversation about whether he'll stay part of the current OL group when Bradbury comes back?

Zimmer: "We’ve had that conversation, we’ll just have to see this week in practice. Bradbury hasn’t been here in 2 wks or I think he’s missed two weeks now. We’re just going to have to sort it out this week. But Mason’s done a really nice job. He’s done a terrific job. We’ll just try to figure this out. It’s better than having no options."

Deion Sanders just called Mike Zimmer in the middle of his Monday-after Zoom call and Zimmer answered in the middle of his availability. El oh el.

cutting smilh next season would expose a foolish deal for spielman, but it would save us almost $6m of 2022 cap money...and we're presently $7m over next season's cap....

Hate to see the kid get put back on the bench when Smith returns.

Smith has looked slow this season and a 2 week layoff with the covid will more than likely make him even slower.

Vigil and Bynum played so well......they tried a wheel route on Vigil a few times to no avail with Ekeler.

Yeah ... you sit down Zimmer and work it out with the rest of the organization ... weigh the positives and negatives of putting the better or the worse player on the field ... its a conundrum.

I've bottomed out with this team, as bad as I have in years.

I just can't escape the ingrained stupidity of this regime.

Which makes it hard for me to fire Spielman. One of the best rosters we have had in years. Zimmer also has a good eye for talent----uugh just his stubborness on certain things costs games (Being aggressive on offense, time management, resigning aging/always njured vets)

What's Mason's PFF scores. San Diego might have the worst interior DLine in the league. Seems like just about every run play we had a 3 yard push, with the RBs finishing it off.

Chargers are the worst run defense in the NFL. Giving up 155 YDS/G. That's almost 20 yards more than the next worse team. And they're tied for last giving up 4.8 YPC.
