The last game of the Mike Zimmer era in Minnesota?

Should be. But personally, I feel for him to some extent. Had a lot of bullshit happen in his tenure with the Vikings. I think being a HC for him is extremely stressful week to week, I'm sure its taken a toll. Don't think he's a bad coach necessarily, but the Vikings suffered for his learning curve as The Man. He has weaknesses for today's NFL I think. But at least the guy got 8 years in the big chair after it looked like that opportunity had slipped away. I would imagine a few teams would make him their D-coordinator in a heartbeat if he so chooses. He's 71-56-1 during the regular season going into tomorrow's game, so a winning NFL head coach. 

Although I believe this needs to be done (his firing), I'm a little melancholy about it writing his Viking eulogy. But onward and upward hopefully.

That's my sentiment as well.

I dont find any joy in how the Zimmer Era is most likely going to end. None.

I respect Mike a bunch and I know he busted his asz to try and get the team over that CG hump too.

I will look forward to an offense where the fans and opposing defense find it hard to predict the next play pre-snap.

run, run, pass, punt doesnt do it for you?

You feel for him?
Don't forget about us fans that have been suffering here 50 years before Zim even got here.

Easy to pick a part in hindsight.

1. Being a D coach yet the D getting trashed several times throughout his tenure
2. CB whisperer? Pa-lease
3. Had as many offensive coordinators as 1st downs last week.
3. Kickers? Carlson? See offensive coordinators. 
4. Clock mismanagement 

No guarantee next guy will be better but we know this current shit show is going no where.

You realize it'll never happen for us, right? We'll watch Green Bay win a Super Bowl this year and the sports universe keeps on keeping on.

I'm ready for Z to go, but I also empathize with his situation. I've already resigned myself to the fact my fandom will go unrequited.

I don't hate the guy but it's time for Zimmer to move on. He will be fine though. It started off on the right track and then there was some shit luck. And now the defense is atrocious and the offense needs to be upgraded. It is what it is. It is time to move in another direction.

Green Bay will fail.

Let's see:  run for 3 yards, run for 1 yard, on 3rd and 6 - pass for 3 yards, punt. Yea, I've seen that enough.
