Is Today the Day?

@"Riphawkins" said: 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.

I was told injuries are not an excuse. 49ers, Bucs, Giants, Saints, Packers all have injuries.
Good teams have depth to account for this (hence good drafting and team composition).
If i recall correctly, Zimmer has already replaced his strength coach (maybe twice already). So that excuse is also used up as you said

This is not me repeating myself. We just had an even worse call on another 2 point conversation 

Atleast Dantzler is getting himself out of the doghouse. Nice INT

As often in the Zimmer/Kubiak Jr era…. the INT opportunity is squandered. Watching this team play is really hard. Ugh

I can't help but laugh 

Wow, it appears Campbell out-Zimmed Zim, Lol…  ;) B)

Its so pitiful its niw funny. Detroit helps us out with a bonehead call on 4th down and we strip fumble. Now we wait for our turn to screw it up.
Campbell has no business being a play caller let alone an NFL coach. He will be to blame (not lip service) if Detroit loses.

Maybe Zimmer wants to be fired, the idiot!  :s :s  all you had to fucking do was run the fucking clock out, kick the fucking field goal, & escape w/ a W… pure genius Mike…! 

LoL

Hmmm, just knew a loss was coming...

Z isn't getting fired during the season.

I agree, probably not...  Sure hope he is gone at the end of the season, seen enough

It is old and its time for change, but man -- look at this MASH unit today:

Hunter
Griffen
Barr
Kendricks
Thielen
Cook
Darrisaw
P2

If I was Mark or Ziggy, Zim would be finding his own way home to Kentucky. After losing to a winless team you can’t keep the 1990’s dinosaur another week!

Just a reminder that Paul Guenther has HC experience if you want to nuke Zimmer right now.

That is true...His Sr Defensive Asst credentials weren't showcased well today though :p

Seriously, I think the Wilfs have too much respect for Zimmer to cut him now. I would be shocked.

None of that matters, run down the clock, kick, win….coaching 101!

I saw the title and thought it was about Zimmer's GF possibly dumping him for a winning coach.
