>>>ALL THINGS VIKINGS<<<

Why hasn't Mike Zimmer been fired the Vikings are the Marvin Lewis Bengals this is crazy Mike Zimmer has shown he don't give a sh#t time to play the young players to see what you got,you already know what you have and Mike Zimmer is going coach against the Bears unbelievable

 

Didn't Zimmer get plucked from Marvin Lewis' staff?

 

I think so.

 

Yes he was the DC ( sigh )

 

You guys need to fire him immediately. It looks like he learned everything from Lewis.

 

100% agree its just the same old same old it just a mess

 

Quarterback Kirk Cousins is back with the Vikings after missing their Week 17 loss to the Packers while on the COVID-19 reserve list.

Cousins was placed on the list last Friday and Sunday’s game was only the second that he’s missed since joining the team in 2018. That number will not grow to three this weekend.


Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer confirmed that Cousins will start against the Bears despite the Vikings being eliminated from playoff contention. That doesn’t come as a great surprise after Zimmer said that he has no interest in seeing how third-round pick Kellen Mond can fare while running the offense.

Cousins has a fully guaranteed salary of $35 million for the 2022 season. There’s been some discussion that the Vikings will still try to move on from him this offseason, but doing so would take eating a great deal of money and/or sending away draft picks to entice another team into adding Cousins to their roster.

 

The Cousin nightmare is Tricky Ricky mess what to do with him is becoming the Vikings problem cause it will become a problem,and what is Zimmer hang-up with Mond Mike Zimmer got to go

 

Zimmer is gone.

Rick Spielman is gone.

 

Mike Zimmer is fired and so is Rick Spielman a change was needed it's like a breath of fresh air I wonder who will be the next GM and Coach

 

There are a bunch of candidates for GM from all sorts of NFL teams and recourses. I think the Wilfs will hire a GM first and then use that person to help decide on a new HC.

One thing I do know is this... the Vikings jobs are the top/best available in the NFL, in my opinion and only the best after much consideration should be considered.

The Vikings have a very talented team with a great core of players, a great new stadium and a great, state of the art, training facility... not to mention a very large and estsablished fan-base. The Vikings opening will be arguably amung the best out there this 2022 season. I sure hope they get this right. I honestly believe with the right leadership, this Vikes team is real close to being a power-house, SB contender.

 

I might also add that the firing of Rick Spielman surprised me. Among the GM brotherhood, Spielman is considered as one of the best around. I thought he did a good job in the drafting area.

 

I also believe if they get this right the Vikings should be a Powerhouse no more of this being afraid to be good, Leadership from GM to the Coach is a must it seemed to me that Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman were never on same page anyway GO VIKINGS

 

The Vikings have put in requests for three candidates for their General Manager vacancy.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Vikings want to talk to Patriots player personnel consultant Eliot Wolf and Browns executives Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Glenn Cook. Wolf, Adofo-Mensah and Cook also are on the Bears’ list of candidates.
