Nope I doubt it. Besides I don't want the dead coach bounce. I want to move onward and upward.

I hope not. Anyway, here was my quote on Nov 7…

@"mblack" said: I am not too sure about Giants (young team, young QB, way too many injuries). I’ll the following to watch closely:
  1. Lions: I dont know how you stick with Campbell if they go 0-17 as hard as it seems since they still have to play the Vikings.
  2. Miami: The lack of trust with the current QB they drafted, poor game management and under performing defence may doom Brian Flores. Oh and that terrible game in London.

Should be if the game is a loss, but it wont matter at that  point in terms of chance for success this year.

The body language of this team says; we're screwed. In most cases that doesn't keep ownership happy. We aren't most cases.

Now that was a TERRIBLE series to end the half even with Detroit taking a stupid timeout.
Zimmer ends up giving Detroit a chance for another score. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

They are missing a ton of guys. BUT.....the rumors are that the Wilfs are ready to move on from Z. This would be the nail methinks. Doubt it happens during the season, however.

Like they say, anything before a “but” is a softener. The Vikings have been TERRIBLE.
The Vikings had teo trips to the red zone and came up with 6 points.
Had two great returns and came up with zero points.
Moved the ball to the Detroit 40ish yard at the end of the half and resorted to terrible play calling which gave Detroit 3 points.
So in my option thus has nothing to do with missing players.

One more thing. lets not use the injury excuse as we were told that was why we traded back. to get more quality picks to build the roster. So we should have a good dept from all the trades we do to move back

This could be the day that sets the decision in stone. As to when he gets fired, who knows? It is coming though.
This is a beat up and bad team that doesn't have good depth and is poorly coached.
I expect the GM to get canned along with the coaches.

There will be no play offs this year.

They are missing a lot of starters so an excuse will be used, but even with all of those guys playing up to this game they have only won 5 games.  That cannot be overlooked.

The lack of quality depth should not be overlooked.

See my post above. This is not an excuse because they told us the 200 draft picks were to adress this.  So if we are going to say we lack depth then we must admit we have been poor at drafting. They cant have both

Maybe it just seems this way, but the Vikings always have a large number of players hurt every year. Is that bad luck? Or, could it be that the strength and conditioning of the whole team is subpar?

I’m not a trainer, nor have I ever been an athlete that plays at the higher levels of any sport. But damn, whoever is getting these guys ready for the season is doing a terrible job.

The excuses of, “We have a lot of guys out because they are hurt” is getting old.
