>>>ALL THINGS VIKINGS<<<

80 to 90 percent on the road that's very impressive,where were the Chargers fan base at there should have been more Chargers fans than Vikings fans oh well i love it GO VIKINGS

 

It was a sea of purple, quite weird to behold.

 

The Chargers home games are a joke when it comes to who's home game it really is. They might as well move them to London.

 

It is kinda confusing ain't it isn't that the reason why they moved San Diego in the the first place,cause LA is all about the Rams not the Chargers,i just don't see them making it in LA IMO

 

Just schedule teams that travel well against them. Then at least it could make for a nice weekend getaway, catch the game.

 

If Mike Harris can pass the physical sign him cause they could the muscle on the O-line they got to do something about Riley Reiff, i keep having nasty flashbacks of Matt Kalil hey Zimmer here's your chance to play the back-ups like Brett Jones Dru Samia i don't believe he's hurt and lets see Hercules Mata'afa to see what they got it's a meaningless game for the Vikings

 

Oh Pat Elflien got to go he's getting run over or he's holding or something he just ain't all that i did have high hopes at one time not no more

 

I think the Bears will defeat Minnesota, Vikings are going to rest a bunch of players, but maybe, just maybe, Minion has a fantastic day. Im curious to see if they bench Cousins for him and how well he plays.

 

I don't expect the Vikings to win either yeah rest Capt Kirk so he can get his head together after the disaster Monday Night

 

When are the Vikings going to fire Mike Zimmer and Tricky Ricky getting very tired of being good and not taking the step next up,why does he keep getting out coached?

 

1. Why does the NFL diss the Vikings seems like they always do it one way or another,Capt Kirk ain't getting no respect well then don't suck in primetime, here's your chance to shut - up the Kirk Cousin haters up by winning a big game

 

The team whose G.M. once declared he has “no intent” to trade Percy Harvin has no intent to move on from said G.M., or from the team’s head coach.

In a statement issued Friday, Vikings co-owner Mark Wilf addressed speculation regarding the status of coach Mike Zimmer and G.M. Rick Spielman.

“We value Mike and Rick’s leadership and we have every intent of Mike continuing as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and Rick leading our football operations, next year and beyond,” Wilf said.

Both Zimmer and Spielman are under contract through 2020. Absent new contracts, both will be lame ducks next year.

The development comes at a time when some wonder whether Jerry Jones would like to hire Zimmer, a former defensive coordinator in Dallas, to coach the Cowboys. And it’s possible that the message from the Vikings to Jones is this: If you want him, you’re going to have to give back some of the stuff you took from us 30 years ago in the Herschel Walker trade.

Regardless, unless and until new contracts are signed by Zimmer and Spielman, intentions can change. The first factor that could potentially alter intent happens on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET, when the Vikings face the Saints in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

It's time for a change getting very sick and tired of the same old same old poor O-line and he can't pick qb's it's time for Tricky Ricky to pull his head out his azz to see what's going on,Zimmer time and time again getting out coached its way past time to become elite because being good isn't good enough

 

I would be cool if they left something has got change here can't be business as usual

 

Vikings have some big decisions to make...

Sunday’s win over the Saints provided some clarity for the Vikings. Saturday’s loss to the 49ers may have reduced it, a bit.

Ownership needs to make some important decisions in the offseason, which began the moment the clock struck 0:00 in the fourth quarter of a divisional round exit ramp in Santa Clara.

As to three of the most important jobs in any professional football organization, it’s pay or get off the pot time, as a practical matter. Coach Mike Zimmer has a contract through 2020. G.M. Rick Spielman has a contract through 2020. Quarterback Kirk Cousins has a contract through 2020.

Cousins will receive $29 million in guaranteed pay in the coming season, the last of his three-year, fully-guaranteed contract. He can’t be traded this, he can’t be transition-tagged next year, and due to the 44-percent bump he’d receive over his $31 million cap number for 2020, he won’t be franchise-tagged.

“That’s just not my focus right now,” Cousins told reporters after Saturday’s loss, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. “My focus is on this game and the playoffs. I certainly love it here and love being a Viking.”

But in the NFL money can buy me love. Or it can at least prove that the love is reciprocal. Since Cousins signed his bar-setting contract two years ago, the bar has been bumped from $28 million annually to $35 million. For a guy who is capable of playing extremely well under the right circumstances — but who struggles when the running game sputters and/or the blocking doesn’t give him enough time to find a receiver — it’s hard to apply a value to his next contract.

Before a decision can be made about Cousins, the Vikings must decide who the decision-makers will be. While hardly unprecedented, it’s far from ideal to have a coach or a G.M. working in their lame duck seasons. The Vikings currently are scheduled to have both their coach and their G.M. in that capacity.

Thus, Job No. 1 becomes making a decision about the future of Zimmer and Spielman. Nine days ago, owner Mark Wilf said in a statement that the Vikings have “every intent” to keep them. Ultimately, intent is in the wallet of the intender.

Then there’s the question of whether the Vikings will pay running back Dalvin Cook, who enters the final year of his rookie contract and who may not be inclined to show up for anything in the offseason, training camp, or preseason until he receives a reward for what he has done, compensation for what he’ll be expected to continue to do, and protection against further injury.

Other roster and employment decisions loom, especially if offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski ends up getting the head-coaching job in Cleveland (after Saturday’s game, the Vikings may be rooting for that outcome). But the biggest decisions relate to the biggest jobs, and the riskiest move of all would be to stand pat for 2020 as to Zimmer, Spielman, Cousins, and Cook.

Breaking News Kevin Stefanski is the Cleveland Browns Head Coach according to NFL Network good luck to you,it's time to show Tricky Ricky the door he's had enough time to take the next step up it might be time for Zimmer too

 

Mike Zimmer expects to have conversations about his contract soon...

The 2020 season is the last season on Vikings coach Mike Zimmer’s current contract, but he doesn’t want it to be his last year in Minnesota.

Zimmer said today that he expects to have conversations with ownership about his contract and a possible extension soon, and that he’s confident he’ll be happy with the outcome of those conversations.

“I love these players and this organization,” Zimmer said, via Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The Vikings may be an organization in transition soon, as Zimmer, quarterback Kirk Cousins and General Manager Rick Spielman are all heading into the final years of their contracts. But for now, Zimmer is talking like a man who wants to be in Minnesota for the long haul.

If they do keep Zimmer at least get rid of Tricky Ricky,as long as he is here the Vikings will never be elite he wasted AP with a bad QB and a crappy O-line now he's doing the same thing with Dalvin Cook by having a crappy O-line,it never changes there good just not elite every year its the same old same old it's good just not good enough

 

I hope Mackenzie stays with the Vikings hate to lose him when he's finally maturing into a pretty good player...Xavier Rhodes can go so can Mike Hughes ( maybe) have to wait and see how it goes Trae Waynes can go hope Jayron Kearse has a change of mind and stays

 

Im quite certain there will be changes, but im afraid Spielman and Zimmer arnt going anywhere, soon anyway. The Wilfs' like them too much.

I agree on the defense... I think they will address the secondary heavily in the draft.
