Coach Zimmer comments from presser
#1
Mike Zimmer on Coach Flip. "I think he's doing a good job.''
Mike Zimmer on the offense: "I'm always involved with them.'' Says it's about the same with Coach Flip as it is with Pat Shurmur.
Mike Zimmer said Kirk Cousins is audibling about a normal amount, changed into a long run on Sunday and to a pass on Sunday. Said that is not an issue
“Right now we’re kind of an up and down team and that’s the thing that frustrates me the most.” - Coach Zimmer
“We need to develop more consistency with this football team.” - Coach Zimmer
Mike Zimmer on why the running game faltered. "Lack of consistency.''
Mike Zimmer said he's considering "letting George do more of the adjustments on defense'' which would enable Mike Zimmer to address some other things on game day, like the offense.
Mike Zimmer touched upon holder Matt Wile being late on the field during a Dan Bailey missed field goal.
Coach Mike Zimmer said beating Seattle doesn't do the Vikings any good if they go out and "crap in our hands'' in games after that.
Zimmer said "we might have tried to do too much'' to get back in the game after being down 17-10.
Mike Zimmer said once the Vikings got down 17-10 yesterday, “We might have panicked a little bit.”
Mike Zimmer on coordinator John DeFilippo: "I think he's doing a good job. We talk all the time. We talk about things I think are important and I think he tries to do those."
Zimmer: "When things are going smooth, it's no issue -- I can go talk to the offense all I want. But if things are helter skelter on defense, then I spend more time with them

I like Zimmer. I still have faith in him. He is frustrated just like we are. I don't have the faith in Flip that Mike does. I think maybe he wasn't quite ready yet. That series in the 4th when we had 3rd and 4th downs to dig out of a 3rd and 17. We ended up with 7 yards total and turned it over on downs. That was a serious  WTF moment. He may need another season. I have no faith in the oline. Example, we go for it on a 4th and 1/2 yard and get no push what so ever. Can't run block can't pass protect. Other then that... 
I didn't think we would win this one when the schedule first came out or this week. I didn't think it would be as desperately needed now as I did before the season. This year just didn't work out. The team tried to upgrade. However we lost big pieces as well. Not all by choice. Pat was a huge loss it seems. Tony Sparano's death was felt obviously as well.
Still have some goals we can achieve. The big one we hoped for has kinda slipped away.
You just have to keep trying. I believe that's what good coaches do. 
I agree when things are going good everyone is happy. When not you see who are the fighters or the quitters. That goes for fans as well as players and coaches.
