Heimdallr Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I don't agree at all that Rick should be fired. I think the FO has done a great job of bringing in talent. I'd give Rick a run with the next HC, and if that doesn't pan out then clean house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakish Mind Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Captain Kirk now rocks a 16-2 TD/Int ratio. Looks great on PAPER.....but does not take chances. I'm sick of playing it safe all game long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithVikings28 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Question: if everything is so blatantly obvious what the coaches are doing wrong, why don’t they fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they fix it? Klint Kubiak is the primary problem, but who would you replace him with? Zimmer made his choices. Now those choices are going to walk him right out the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzd07 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Spielman has been our GM since 2012, and we've made the playoffs 4 times. Wonder how that stacks up against other GMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins is the best he has to show for. The OL has been a disaster for most of the time. This unit finally looks like it’s coming together with good young talent. The defense is a disaster with very few building blocks, just Hunter and Kendricks. Some talent on the DL but that’s it. I like Spielman but it just feels stale at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 What good has Rick done? He choose Cousins He extended Cousins with a raise (after he was looking very suspect) He hired and extended Zimmer (after all his short comings especially lack of in-game adjustments) He has ‘approved’ the hiring of Klint, and the nepotism of Zimmer son. He decided to dedicate huge resources to the Defense (over offense) He must be internally “condoning” the game strategy of conservative offense He decided Diggs was the problem that needed to be moved (over Cousins) He hasn’t solved the QBOTF problem. His recent draft record is suspect at best His recent free agent record is suspect at best Maybe Paton and/or Bryz is the best Management he has cultivated, and the best he brings He can talk good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Erin Henderson sounding off on the coaching staff on Twitter. Interesting to get a player perspective on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I was at our hockey game from halftime to when we picked off Jackson in OT. We had all the momentum in the world. We can't even get on the field. Need to call a timeout. we run a pass play to Cook that goes for 2 yards. 2nd & 8....we run up the middle for a loss of 1. Then try a failed deep pass to Thielen that never had a chance the way P.A. put it. Punt. Lose the game. Playing not to lose in overtime? Are you kidding me?

Honestly, I don’t think it was playing not to lose. I don’t think Kubiak knew what to do. It’s becoming very clear that Kubiak is simply incapable of calling plays based on the game situation. He’s lost after his script runs out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we actually gotten quality first round picks from those drafts, instead of burning them, the team would be so much better still playing on rookie contracts. Treadwell, Bradford, Hughes and Bradbury were a huge drain of resources that were all mostly failures. Bradbury looks okay but I don’t honk anyone is confident in what he offers, especially if the Vikes move to a power blocking scheme. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 So is Nwangwu looking like the real deal at least on special teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twslhs20 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Barr, Smith, and Cousins are really bad contracts. As I've said, its allocation of resources. That said. The offense is great with scripted plays. After that, it becomes a dumpster fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
