Injuries and guys sitting out has ruined the season. Pearce, Hunter and now Barr. Can't really expect to win without those guys.

The Vikings have alternated double-digit win campaigns with seasons at or around .500 for the entirety of Zimmer's tenure; it seems like they're heading toward that destiny again in 2020.

and yet they EXTENDED the coach.

I hope we're much less than .500.

Status: offline 		After losing linebacker Anthony Barr to a season-ending pectoral injury, the Vikings are signing a veteran with plenty of starting experience.

Former Broncos linebacker Todd Davis is signing a one-year deal to join the Vikings this week, a league source confirmed. Davis, 28, has started 63 games for Denver, where he became a full-time starter in 2016 under then-head coach Gary Kubiak.

Davis was the Broncos’ leading tackler each of the past two years as an inside linebacker. But his run in Denver ended after five seasons while missing most of this year’s training camp with a calf injury. He’s dealt with injuries to each calf in the past two seasons.

The Vikings’ options were thin, and Davis provides a steady veteran and likely two-down presence if healthy and up to speed. Linebacker Eric Wilson is expected to fill Barr’s role in the Vikings’ two-linebacker nickel package alongside Eric Kendricks.

Fourth-round rookie linebacker Troy Dye was placed on injured reserve Thursday due to an ankle injury suffered in Indianapolis.

The Vikings also have linebacker Ryan Connelly, who joined the defense earlier this month as a waiver claim from the Giants, and linebacker Hardy Nickerson Jr., the former Bengal promoted from the practice squad this week.


This is starting to remind me of the Steckel year more and more

Just signing guys off the street right and left. And it's only week 3.

Steckel year was IMO the worst year of Vikings football ever.

Always had a great game plan. EVERY game

And got kicked badly a lot.

Surprised you stayed with it after that. Scarred you for life.

The Frazier year was bad, no doubt. They even had the same scenario on offense, Horrible QB.

Cousins is only 3rd worst QBR in this NFL stat. Wentz and Haskins actually lower

Seeing Carlson kick for the Raiders

Makes me think of how difficult it must be playing for Zimmer

Who gets a lot better under his staff?

K?
OLine?
QB?
A few skills players
A few defensive players


But not a lot of guys. That's going to be a huge part of this year's flops. He has no time for youthful mistakes, yet has loaded up at corners with young guys. Linebackers that seem lost, outside of Kendricks.

Needs to go.

Appeared that Kearse,Waynes,Rhodes,Alexander couldn't wait to bolt.

Then there was the CB mutiny a couple years ago.

I know. I'm asking why the 2011 Vikings team that went 3-13 is never used as the punchline year. It's always the 1984 team.

Viking staff

So they probably won't boo like they deserve.
