I just want us to play well. If we're prepared and play well, but somehow lose, I'm OK. Likewise, if we're outcoached and play poorly and somehow win, I'm not OK. It's a long season and there isn't a single team on our schedule we can't beat. In 2015, we went in to San Francisco on opening weekend and got our asses kicked by a lesser team. We were clearly outcoached in that game and it still haunts me.

#Vikings kept 49ers prep to just one extra day, opposed to extending Week 1 planning like they had previous years, Zimmer said: "A few years ago, we started prepping earlier than what we did this week. It didn't turn out well and I felt we didn't play very good."

Who am I to question Zimmer, but I'm not sure I get his reasoning. Sounds like one I used a lot in college. Hey, I studied hard for that exam and bombed. This time, I'll go drink beer instead and hope for the best.

In fairness that was me in chemistry.  I studied my ass off and got Cs on 2 exams.  I totally forgot 1 exam and got an A and I was drunk as a skunk for one and got an A with maybe a half hour of prep time?
So study hard = Cs.  Drink heavily = A's!!!

That was my collegiate strategy.  :p

Yeah, not sure I'm agreeing with Z's response there, either.

SF will be a slugfest.  They will be hungry but are limited on offense, not particularly worried about Pierre Garcon or Jerick’s backup.  I think the defense dominates the day and the O does enough to keep this one out of reach.
