Sounds like a lot of the rats are voluntarily jumping ship today
Some trade requests apparently on the table
Zimmer has officially lost the room
Ain't no coming back from that, if true

Yep, IF it's true he's soon to be dead man walking.

Pretty good rip on Cousins and the org in sports illustrated online today. Ripping them regarding the extension. And more

Would love to read more about this.

IMO the best thing to happen long term is more losing if it gets Zimmer and Speilman removed.

I guess if the smoke is real we will see the flames at some point.

Green Bay is going to pound the hell out of them in two weeks.

Wilfs are lucky there are no fans.

Yep, GB will lay a hurtin on us.
Another case of poor timing, not that it matters with this bunch, but hell is coming, in the form of pissed off packers and some pressure-feeling refs.
Might be historic.
Not looking forward to it.

If no Head Coach change has been made by then

Bring it on.

At some point enough embarrassment will force a change.

I see we are scheduling Monday afternoon football these days?
Weird

They put together a new song for that one?
Afternoon Delight?
Who's a step down from Carrie Underwood?

More bizarro world 2020 stuff
The Jags (who are about as bad as we are) set a new record, by having different kickers in 5 straight games
Funniest part … the guy they are using now had never kicked a FG in a regular season game before yesterday
Not in college, HS, or the NFL

You'd think that would be the Vikings with Zimmer's love for kickers.

I see he had to get two digs in at our kickers onside attempts
1, I agree they were shitty
2, shut up, you were down 3 scores, Captain

No surprise. Moose Johnson was praising him and he flopped on the onsides.

Zim seems to only be decent to a few guys, a dick to many.

No doubt. Kyler Murray picked the correct sport.

Cousins can be sorta mobile by design.

That worked a few times last year throwing them long pass thingy's off the roll out.

Backup is a statue.

There's no backup plan.

Much like everything else at the Wonderful Facility in Eagan, dumpster fire.

Mahomes and Murray are changing the QB position
Not huge fans of either guy, but man, they are incredible to watch
Started with Russ Wilson, another I don't like, but GD it, it works.
They keep at least 4-5 plays a DRIVE alive with their mobility alone
You can't defense these guys right now and that's why they win.
Change your team, change your plan, or keep losing. Forever.

Zimmer would point to Derrick Henry's 200+ yards

And all the running KC did yesterday

And justify his "philosophy"

Yep
Too old fashioned to realize that the other things in their arsenal is what makes the running game effective

Wants to be the guy who brings football back to the 1950s again
Do it somewhere else please
Maybe he and Terry Ryan can team up and start a whole new world of old crap for people who like that stuff.

They could combine to re-start the peach basket basketball league

I remember the Conan bit with the old time baseball stuff. They'd be perfect for that. Or the leather helmet league of football.

So you're not a big fan of the 3 more mobile qbs

But like the mobile QB concept.

So who do you like, and would like for the Vi-kings (ol' red reference)

Me? I'd take Tua

Or Burrow.

Maybe THE OSU guy that has gone back to destroy Nebraska this week.

BTW

Notice who was dogging it at the end of the KC-BUF game when they had no chance, and got a penalty?

Stefon Diggs

What a surprise.

Ya gotta make plays with your feet in 2020, if you are not Tom Brady or Big Ben
Everyone else does
Cousins combo of
not big
not mobile
not brave
not innovative
Offers you nothing in 2020. Nothing.
There are better defensive athletes covering your best receivers in 2020
You cannot simply sit in a pristine pocket (if we ever got to that) and make things happen these days
Innovative and pro active play calling and design is the future and the present
I cannot believe the kid who lives down the street from me (Lance) can do this, but at this point he's a better option to me than Cousins.
And I'm not the typical Cousins hater, hell, I probably liked the signing. But ever since, its been blatantly obvious what his weaknesses are.
And 2020 has been a perfect storm, telling us what he will never be.
The first sign of trouble in a game, his eyes go to the carpet. He's an abused puppy most days. Its so obvious.
You look at the successful teams right now and they are led by confident leaders. Not sad puppies.

Was gonna mention that

same old crap

then spent the rest fo the time trying to glad hand the teammates, like it was no big deal. No, it was, Stephon.
The prototypical problem child. Is he worth it? Thats always the question.

IMO Spielman is the one that needs to be replaced. Ext Cousins was flat out dumb.

Not bringing in a decent backup = dumb.

Spielman has never got the QB position right nor the oline his entire tenure.

Time for some new blood that understands how the game is evolving.

Oline...early and often this draft

Speilman has gotten wr and RB right. TE's to an extent.

Linemen and QB? wow

Look at this list since 2012 when he took over as GM
2012 Christian Ponder (16)
2013 Christian Ponder (9) / Matt Cassel (6) / Josh Freeman (1)
2014 Teddy Bridgewater (12) / Matt Cassel (3) / Christian Ponder (1) [84][87][89]
2015 Teddy Bridgewater (16)
2016 Sam Bradford (15) / Shaun Hill (1)
2017 Case Keenum (14) / Sam Bradford (2)
2018 Kirk Cousins (16)
2019 Kirk Cousins (15) / Sean Mannion (1)
2020 Kirk Cousins (6)

Slick Rick

Indeed

Because he's pretty slick to have kept his GM job this long.
