Bud always said that durability was the most important attribute of a player. Shame on the Vikings for gambling on a guy with 2 torn ACL's in the same knee. For the third time in 4 years the season is over due to injuries or suspension.  if they sell us on Bridgewater that is just as bad. Bring in Ernie Accorsi and find us a franchise qb for once.

I get it Zim. You're pissed after a loss. But alienating anyone and everyone who asks a reasonable question is just bush league. Be a man and maybe let some reasonable people do their job. I'm not talking about the idiot, jackass who clearly has an ax to grind, and is looking to make his bones by churning you into his meal ticket to the next bigger media market, but for goodness sakes, stop being a dick to everyone who asks a legitimate question, and is doing their job.

This hardass, sore loser act, is beyond old. You didn't invent it, and while you're pretty good at it, it serves a very limited purpose. Head coach means you are the face of the franchise. That means having a sense of PR along with keeping your staff and team together. In short, act like a professional grown up, and give us a winner. If you can't do that, throwing passive aggressive tantrums in front of the press won't buy you any more time in the public's eyes.

If  you really have no answers, maybe it's time to look for a different line of work. 

Do they even know? 

Okay yes it's kind of on Bradford's knee too but here's the thing, Case Keenum-- while not good by any means-- did not play us out of that game. PENALTIES did.

11 penalties for 131 yds is KILLER. How many 1st & 20s did we have? How many free yds did they get from pass interference calls? If you want to say that's on the players and not Zim then that's your call, but I tend to say the buck stops with the coaches and when a team plays sloppy, it's on coaching.

Time and again we shot ourselves in the foot. So frustrating to watch after we played a nearly perfect game against the Saints. Lots to clean up this week.

I do think Zim is a good coach and I'm glad we have him. But is he a great coach? I'm not sure.

Not very often winning from Vegas is easy/peazy, this game was it. 

That said, would have been delighted to have paid out. 

So what the hell is wrong with Bradford anyways?  Could be a very long year if he's sidelined. 

I may as well be first to suggest it. Shields up.

Bradford could miss a handfuls of games - and that might be a best-case scenario. Tell me why Kaepernick wouldn't be a better alternative than Case Keenum. Football reasons.

Guy just looks slow out there and is giving too much cushion.

Besides Bradford also inactive for the #Vikings in Pittsburgh: CB Tramaine Brock, WR Rodney Adams, DT Jaleel Johnson, DE Tashawn Bower, G Danny Isidora and OT Aviante Collins.

Now that it's the backups at QB, I expect to see a very conservative offense today with plenty of runs and short passing.

It looks to me like it's now up to the D to win this one.
