Defense is Zimmer's calling card no doubt...I root for the guy. He's old school.
They brought him in here with Rogers in the Division, Stafford too.
Vikings have had some good D's since then. But it's a what have you done for me lately league (and world) - and he hasn't had any more luck in CG's than all his predecessors since Grant.
I wont bring up his record vs Nagy and LaFleur again.
Mike is on the hot seat, win now. Or he's on his last contract with this team. Heck, with his age, it might be his last either way.
Agree with your take.
I'll add that in many of the Big games our D doesn't look dominant despite season long stat trends.
I literally fell off the Zimmer life-long contract train when we were derailed in Philly. Total embarrassment.
Of course it is a team game - Off, Def, ST and Coaching. Boy was our D and Coaching destroyed in Philly.
Now it looks as though our Offense is at least up to par with what should be a very good bounce back Defense.
Hopefully ST's are brought up to overall average/Top 12-15.
So this might be the most balanced team we have had under Zimmer..at least hopefully.
But if this season is a dud with a first round playoff loss I am all for moving on from Zimmer.
Not Spelly. I think he is a TOP GM. I don't think they are tied together.
