So the Tricky Ricky nightmare continues so the O-line will still suck Pat Elflien and Riley Reiff will start? maybe i should be happy with just good enough and Zimmer getting out coached its like the Vikings are scared to take the next step-up ( sigh )
If at all possible i would love it if the Vikings choose Eric Bieniemy as there new OC would Andy Reid let him walk away that is the question?
Mike Zimmer hopes to figure out how to get over the hump... But for stepping on a rake in the Super Bowl, Mike Zimmer’s six years in Minnesota have provided a microcosm of the Vikings’ postseason experience. Playoff appearances half the time, a couple of euphoric January wins, inevitable disappointment. Zimmer said during his end-of-season press conference that he has spoken to his mentor, Hall of Famer Bill Parcells, about what it will take to deliver the thing that has tantalized Vikings fans for decades, on the heels of a 27-10 loss to the 49ers. “We kind of ran into a buzz saw a little bit, I think,” Zimmer told reporters. “We didn’t look as fresh in that ball game as we did the week for. Obviously, I’m not making any excuses, they’re a good football team. They played really, really well. I was on the phone with Coach Parcells for an hour this morning talking about trying to get over the hump of we’ve been to the conference championship, we’ve been to the divisional game, we’ve been in a wild-card game where we lost by a field goal, and just trying to figure out how do we get over this hump of getting to the next level and eventually winning this thing.” So what do the Vikings need to do under Zimmer to get it done, once and for all? “We’re not going to talk about it,” Zimmer said. Fans will be fine with that, as long as Zimmer can put Parcells’ advice into action. With an aging defense and lingering questions regarding the effectiveness of a bare-bones offense that relies too heavily on the run and that can’t generate a dangerous passing game when the running game becomes stymied, can the Vikings do enough in one offseason to be ready to win the games they should (they usually do) and eventually to win the games they shouldn’t (they usually don’t)? It won’t be easy, not with a cluster of great NFC teams that have all reset to 0-0 and, but for the two teams still chasing Super Bowl LIV, begun the preparations for Super Bowl LV. source; NBC

What do you mean by that let the fans know something you don't have to tell them everything i don't get this man of mystery thing
Wow stability for the Vikings was important now they have no OC no DC things are happening fast i wonder what's next?I wish George Edwards well
Zimmer son Adam does he have what it takes to run the defense? i quess son like father but rick is still here just not a fan of his to business like IMO
Now the Vikings defensive backfield coach Jerry Grey is gone looks like its gonna be a new coaching staff,in a weird way it almost seems like a rebuilding job players are next but Tricky Ricky is still here things are happening so fast what next
I think the core is solid and can be built around, but the secondary will be different. The coaching staff just might get completely blown up outside of Zimmer. I havnt heard if Kubiak is coming back yet... that will be an interesting thing to watch.
Time for Zimmer to go seems like he can't win the big game and Tricky Ricky seems to believe in putting a so so team on the field are the Wilfs happy with this?
Yeah it's all about money and yes there making big bucks the Vikings gm is like a business guy a football guy not so much IMO he has the time but you are right forget the fans it's about the Money! sometimes i do forget it is a business
Changes have to be made are the Vikings really talking about extending Capt Kirk, they need to get a mobile QB in the draft it's time for Zimmer and Tricky Ricky and Capt Kirk to go after the 2020 season the Vikings have so many needs but first things first got to fix the front office!
