He didn't have the slightest hint of a smile or feeling of happiness. I'm sure he was relieved that the team pulled the game out, and probably saved him from being fired during the break. But, he still couldn't condone his team over-celebrating-especially one of his players who wouldn't allow his contract to be adjusted to help his team get more cap space this past offseason, and who wouldn't compromise his own desires, to help the odds of keeping his team safer, rosterwise, by getting vaccinated. We could also tell that Zim has been peeved with Kirk ever since Kirk was found to not have been vaccinated, and not declared that he would do so. Zim had a good relationship with Teddy. But it's obvious how different he's been with Kirk. Maybe he's just an old man that didn't appreciate being shoved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakish Mind Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Kirk probably spit all over him while celebrating and now Zimmer is going to have to quarantine. So Zim was pissed at Cousins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I saw this live and it looked like Zim was smiling. Seeing that second angle, they both look happier than from the other sideline angle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact that it was Kirk who did it while saying "You LIKE That?" (as reported by some people who were sitting near enough to hear it), makes me think that Zim also was peeved about Kirk being too egotistical about leading the winning FG drive, especially when he failed to move the team on MOST of The Vikings' possessions against the worst team in The NFL (and also depleted by injuries), and his never behaving like a team-first player.

Everyone who's good enough to make it in the NFL has an ego . . . everyone, and if they don't, they're lying😜. You don't get that far by not being fed and formed for decades. Facts are Kirk threw two gems in 30 seconds that even gave them the chance. He gave them a chance at the end of the game last week and in AZ. So, if that's ego, fine -- stroke it, baby. That said, I watched the post-game pressers, and for the first time, Zimmer looked like he was a bit gun-shy . . . I guess the reporters were pre-briefed not to ask questions about it to him. He wasn't shy about the end of the first half and he made some stern comments about offensive play calling in the 2nd half. Gotta say though, Zim's explanation was exactly like Jerry Burns' that one time, but a whole lot less colorful. Bottomline: Vikes Win!!!!

You’re projecting. Whether positive or negative, Zimmer was reacting to getting shoved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a good chance he turns more out of those opportunities than even what Mattison did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 You can easily make the argument that the money going to cook would be better used elsewhere but I don't think there is any doubt that he brings more to the offense than Mattison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm probably in the minority but I don't mind them easing Darrisaw in. Hopefully they feel that he ready to start next week though rotate hill in a bit if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Mattison is effective, but Cook can take over a game. There isn’t anything that Mattison can do that Cook isn’t better (maybe staying healthy), but when you watch Mattison run, there are so many plays that you wish it would have been Cook because it would have been a much bigger play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading Cook and building around Kirk is the dumbest thing I've read since The Scarlet Letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
