love the decision to go for it, hate the call. Why run behind Samia of all people when we've been drubbing them on the left side all game long?

We were out Quarterbacked. once again Russell Wilson is a leader and winner. Kirk is a choker.

I liked the decision, too bad the fucking right side of the OL sucks so back. If they can't get enough push to gain inches they deserve to lose. Fucking pathetic.

Yeah, I agree that Zimmer made the right call there. Get the first and the game is over.

I don't know....playing an undefeated team on the road, basically outplayed them for 3 quarters, easily could have won the game even with the mistakes if Mattison had kept his eyes open. Seems to me the coaching staff had the right gameplan.

I've seen on here blaming Cousins, Zimmer, the offensive line, etc. Its a shit show of blame with a loss on this board. I just don't have that feeling after this game. Surprisingly enough, Minnesota could very easily be 3-2 right now. They aren't of course and that's a problem. But other than feeling like its a shitty way to lose and so Vikings to go out like that, they played pretty well. I was surprised actually.

Going for it was the right call for a 1- 3 team, IMO. What's there to lose, the game? Big deal that this team is now 1-4 in this crap season. I was hoping they'd do a QB sneak or run left. Ham was stuffed on that huge 4th down, bummer.

Hit the chip-shot FG and the Seahawks need 2 scores (TD and2-point conversion) just to TIE. Miss the yardage and they need 1 score to WIN. How is that the right call??
Some Zimmer supporters claim if we have continuity with him the Vikings will eventually win a championship. But how many teams have a Super Bowl run with 3 easy blowout victories? Very few. Somewhere on the path there will be some crucial decisions like last night, and we have a coach who consistently makes the right decision. So even if they get another great season like 2013, we will lose a close playoff game.

Are some people actually surprised Zimmer was outcoached by Carroll?? Good grief, there was no reason to expect otherwise. Zimmer is the inferior coach in ever category:
Head to head: Carroll leads 5-0Reg. season record: Carroll is 138-90 (60.5%), Zimmer is 58-42 (.579)
Playoff record: Carroll is 11-9, Zimmer is 2-3Super Bowls: Carroll is 1-1, Zimmer has never sniffed one

He was against one of the top 3-5 head coaches currently in the NFL. Zimmer is mentioned as top 10 only because his owners have kept him around so faithfully.

Didnt the odds & math support the Zimmer decision at the end of the game?

I still wouldn't have done it like he did.

I think that is the new stats. I like the old adage, Don’t take points off the board on the road!

I'm not necessarily a "Zimmer supporter", just that my mentality is/was the Vikings had the ball and the opportunity to close it out. An ending where Wilson never touches the ball and doesn't get the opportunity to do what he did. In Zimmer's spot, a 1-3 team, on the road, with a chance to closeout a win against a 4-0 team; in my opinion, you make that same call 10 of 10 times. But that's jus me...
