With Hunter and Griffen gone, losing Pierce and others for long stretches ...
Vikings are #1 in NFL for sacks
How the hell???

Mike Zimmer.
Our corners have been absolutely torched this year with a downfall in LB play as well.
If I had called you in August and said-
The Viking will lead the league in Sacks
and be +7 in TO differential
https://www.espn.in/nfl/stats/team?seasontype=2&view=turnovers
And, that Cousins will have 29TD's (and 11 TO's thru 14 games)
0% chance you'd have predicted they'd be .500.
Its nuts. The secondary play has been really inconsistent. Maddeningly so for Zimmer I'm sure. The thing is Mike isn't a horrible coach. But he's lacking in game strategy on offense, end of half play calling and other important situational things that hurt the Vikings. The bottom line is he's had 8 years and the team is 7-7. Not like he's built a dynasty.

Yes the secondary is atrocious and they lost one of their top 2 players in Hunter (Griff too). But its the coaching, game-planning and game decisions that have cost this team.
The most since Frazier was here.
Everyone but Dre should be shown the door come January.

I would like to see what Kubiak can do without a zimmer in his ear whispering in a threatening tone, " run the damn ball more" he has shown signs of offensive creativity in the play designs, he has shown the ability to run an offense that at times can put up points seemingly at will. I want to know if its Zimmer that is taking the foot off the gas and making the O go into witsec every game, or if its kubiaks inability to see the defensive adjustments and correct his approach on the fly. I would also like to see what he could do with a QB that doesnt wear cement cleats.

I'd keep Dre, Ficken, and McCardell for sure. Kubes, is iffy.

I think the secondary play has been the real downfall of the team the last 2 years. We went from having 3 solid/all-pro starters in Waynes/Rhodes/Mac to starting rookies and just signed mediocre at best FA. That isn't going to get it done for any D.

Where do you get 11 turnovers? Cousins has 6 ints and 2 fumbles lost.

6 fumbles lost was the team lost, not Cousins. My mistake.
