somethings not right with Cousins... he looks concussed or scared out there. he has been regressing the last month IMO and I think that is showing up in the play calling as well as the struggles on defense as they are getting gassed and dinged up. I dont know what the problem is, and I dont think changing HCs will solve it, but I do know that january is coming quickly and if they want to still be playing football they better pull their heads out of their asses and quick.
I'm going to guess Mike had his QB talk with him. You know the one he has with every one of his QB's eventually. The one that goes like this. Stop being aggressive, don't take any chances, be vanilla. As I said just my guess.

That sounds about right.

Yep. Let the defense win the game, the offense is there just to not make mistakes: circa 1985 thinking.
Vikings need to readjust and calibrate this offseason in a more modern offensive way or Z is going to be loading up a cardboard box at the end of the 2019 season.

I think that was 100% of the intent by waiting for DeFlip to win a SB and hiring him right away. Flip has had a steep learning curve, but is it my imagination that this defense is no where near as dominant as it once was either? Players like Barr, Griffen even Dirty Harry are not flashing as brightly as earlier seasons.
As much as we were in the game @ NE going into the 3rd quarter, at some point lets all have a discussion on George Edwards too...

The team offensively is trending down: and that's with an O-line that is healthier than all year (but not good) and a healthy Dalvin Cook. Something ain't right.

That is completely false. If you're going to be a Zimmer basher, at least have your facts right.

perhaps it means against a team on the road with a winning record as of when we played them? I hear stats all the time that dont make sense but when you strip back the disclaimers there is validity to them... of course it still doesnt mean jack as far as trying to show how good/bad Zimmers teams are over all IMO.
this campaign to crucify the coach after every loss is absurd, if he wins we are back on track, if he loses he needs to be gone... so much knee jerk on these boards this year its kind of hard to read from one week to the next.

Some people are just all jerk, knees included.

yep. Don't get the desire to be the NFC version of Cleveland
The game plan to beat the Pats is to run all over them......keep the clock ticking and keep Brady off the field. We started that well, but Flip abandoned it, despite great success, and the game was close at that point. Zimmer needs to step in when the offensive play calls aren't going as he wants. He is the head coach, and needs to put his stamp on both sides of the ball.
