CUT THAT WORTHLESS PILE OF SHIT TREADWELL NOW!!!

2 drops last week. A drop on 3rd down and an int with the game on the line this week. I've seen enough. If he can't handle a perfectly thrown pass in crunch time, then get his ass out of here!

Looked good in exhibition. Completely worthless when games mean something.

Spielman deserves some of this drafting a guy in the fifth round.

Carlson should be walking home.

Zimmer stupid to rely on the kicker to win it with 2 time outs and over a minute to go.

Treadwell needs to be inactive. I'd rather see Bebe than him or Coley.

Re-read it. I wasn't advocating for Coley.

I know. I was just saying Coley dropped one.

Put a little pressure on a guy and watch him crack

Treadwell AND Carlson

Really show what they're made of.

Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with Cousins though. Keenum was very good for us last year, but it looks like an upgrade for sure.

Yup

Be tough for many qbs to make the throw to Diggs from that far, then drop that one into Thielen for the other td

As bad as Carlson was today (and I'm sure he'll be the scapegoat for MPffeerrrerrr) you gotta blame this one squarely on Zimmer. Your rookie kicker is clearly jacked in the head and he played for a FG at the end. He was 'ok' with the tie is what I'm guessing. Hoping for the win but ok with the tie. It's the only explanation for not actually going for it. The O was killing it in the 4th and Cousins to Diggs/AT/Rudy was not being stopped at the time.

This isn't the first time he's done this either. It's his MO. He's passive on D and O when the chips are down. It's just the way he's wired. He will never go for the jugular. After Carlson missed at the end of regulation he went prevent and they marched right in to FG territory with a kicker who doesn't miss often.

We lament the FG misses but we are damn lucky to even get to OT. It's not like Rodgers was sucking all day so he pulled a rabbit out of his ass. As long as he had time he picked us apart all day so lets go prevent. That's a smart move coach.

Other shit that's bothering me:

Why the no challenge when he was clearly down? Again, Zimmer's MO is that he's shit on challenges. Will never change.

When Richardson jumped late in the game, the LG clearly stood up and drew him off. Terrible call.

Edit: forgot one. The pooch KO. What is exactly the gain there? I'm being serious. There is none. You just conceded better field position by being cute at he most crucial time of the game. I would love to here the rationalization here. I can't think of any.

Another big play given up by the ST's. When is there going to be accountability. You can't keep saying "they are just missing"/"they are coached to make that tackle"/"player X blocked the wrong guy so we gave up a blocked punt for a TD". There is a common denominator here Zimmer. Make the call.

I heard the phone call radio segment and a guy brought this up and Cove hammered Zimmer for not going for a score or at least getting closer.

In the press conference Zimmer said he was convinced he was going to make it.

And then, in the next breath, said that they probably should have taken a couple of shots.

Was asked twice about a K decision.

First one w/in first minutes of the press conference, said he had barely talked to Spielman.

Then asked near the end again. Duh, I guess they had made a decision via text while Zimmer was talking to the press.

There was nearly a blocked punt last week

Got one this week

Shoddy play. The Coach should be held responsible.

The game should have never gone to overtime. The roughing the passer call on Matthews was bull crap. Last week he deserved it but this week was terrible.

Agreed

Players have no idea what to do out there anymore.

Zimmer said the tackle area is now the size of a strike zone on a qb and once you hit them, then ?????

Any time the Defense even remotely lowers the shoulder, on the sack, even if it's not in the qb's chest, they're throwing the flag.

It's terrible.

Just like the call on Kendricks was total crap. We really have reached the point of just putting velcro flags on the QB.

Agree, both roughing calls were stupid. I didn't have a big problem with the Sendejo hit either. It's FOOTBALL, it's supposed to be rough. Pussify it too much and people will lose interest.
