one thing they still know how to do... crush the guy with the ball, the steelers have always tackled like a mack truck hitting a watermelon, I dont understand why Cook is so hell bent on getting back for this game if there is any doubt about his shoulders intergrity... I understand a player wants to play, but there should be somebody looking out for whats left of his career.

Agreed, there is no way Cook should be playing tonight....Not when you have competency in the back-up's, which they do.

We win tonight. That's not me being optimistic, we just win enough games to screw us out of a good draft pick.

It could be competitiveness or desire to help his team. It might not be the best idea if he rushes back. I suppose he prefers to play instead of sitting on the sidelines if he is good to go. He has had multiple shoulder issues which should be a concern.

Sounds right. PF I know you've been staunchly saying Zim will get the full year and by rights he should but that's not in the best interest of this franchise. If things go pear-shaped tonight and the US Bank crowd turns on the team, I can't see the Wilfs excited about the prospect of running things back with this staff in two weeks at home versus a good Rams team. That's a recipe for disaster.

I think this is what has to happen for Zim to get the axe before end of year. Yet another game where obvious sideline errors causes the Vikings to lose the crowd and the game, maybe even the team.

Mike Zimmer summing up his Vikings: “That team that played in the first half could probably beat anybody. That team that played in the second half could probably get beat by anybody.”

This is why you're done. Cannot get the team to consistently play to it's ability.

Bye, Zim. Enjoy your fertile fields in KY.
