I'm excited to see what tweaks Zimmy Wimmy will have for the defense with a full week to focus on the team rather than an opponent.

Harrison Smith at DT? Linval at CB? Rudolph at DE? Bailey at LB?

Treadwell at LG. Duh

Which teams are most likely to hit the reset button for 2019? NFL Nation reporters took the temperature of the league, rating the job security of every head coach using the following scale:

5. Hot seat: Headed out if things don't turn around in the final four games
4. Warm seat: Not safe if the season ends up a disappointment
3. Lukewarm seat: Not under fire but not disaster-proof
2. Cool seat: Safe barring a total disaster
1. Cold seat: No way he'll get fired

Rating 2: Cool seat

 

The Vikings have gone through their fair share of ups and downs this season, but Zimmer's job won't be on the line, barring a major collapse over the next five games.

Certainly not a surprise, but McDermott being on the cold seat, while Zimmer is only on the cool seat is kind of odd.

I think that may be a 2.5 or 3 right now.

 

I don't think so.  He's still a long way off from being a 3.  It would take 2 more seasons of similar play to this season to make it a 3.  We can't ignore the fact that he has nearly a .600 winning percentage, which puts him 5th among all active coaches (behind Belichick, Tomlin, Reid and Payton).  He's nowhere near a 3.

It’s called, not being aggressive on offense.

I'd be curious to see how many games against winning teams they even played outside. 

And what's their record against winning teams on the road inside

All of their 2014 outdoor road games were against teams at or below .500.
In 2015, they lost to Denver and beat Green Bay.
In 2016, they lost to Philadelphia, Washington and Green Bay.
In 2017, they lost to Pittsburgh and Carolina.
In 2018, so far they lost to Los Angeles, Chicago and New England while tying Green Bay.
