 :scratch: I'm expecting a heavy dose of Elliott & Pollard, if that's the case & hope Pierce is healthy. I'd like to see him to introduce himself :sleazy: training-087 to Zeke a few times tonight. :tut:

The game last night certainly had to be a nail in Zimmer's coffin.

Outside of the fact that the Wilfs held the State of Minnesota hostage to build their stadium, the have been good owners who have tried to build a winning franchise.  They have been loyal to the coaching staff they hired and gave them everything they needed to be successful.  And that type of support and security ought to lead to more progress and winning, but it hasn't. 

The offense can't seem to move down the field unless it is the first drive of the game or the final two minute warning.  The defense can's stop the run and their secondary plays soft - and like Glenn said - keep getting beat by backup QBs.   :angry:

We know Zim runs the defense and puts handcuffs on his offensive coordinators.  I think his run is coming to an end.

I could rant on and on about the history of this coaching staff, but the Wilfs will rue the day when they let Stefanski leave to take a head coaching job with another team - just to be loyal to Zim for another season or two.

In the NFL it is ALWAYS best to make a move one year early than one year too late.

I kind of hope they keep losing so something big changes.  If we do kind of good we will see the same mediocre play next year.

I haven't been paying too close attention, but if Gruden goes forward with suing the league for improper termination, he'll end up on the outskirts with Kaepernick.

It came across the screen on MNF that Hunter is done for the season & I now learned he may not play another down for the Vikings. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/vikings/2021/11/01/danielle-hunter-out-rest-season-torn-pectoral-muscle/6243107001/ :pouty: Season ending injuries for Derrick Henry & Jameis Winston too.

He only had 4.5 sacks at LSU.  :scratch: He's due a $18 m bonus if he's even on the roster at the start of camp next year with his newly restructured deal & that may be enough for them to let him go.

Just read on Purple PTSD that Shanahan is floundering in San Fran and may be a possible coach in MN.  ???  He is O oriented so may be a good fit.  ???

 :scratch: Even TB 12 & the $40 mil man didn't look very good this week & their OCs, Leftwich/Bieniemy, are considered by many as 2 of the best in the league. :confused:

Shanahan? He isn't going anywhere. 49'ers just spent a fortune to draft a quarterback #3 for Shanahan to groom.

Just somebody throwing crap against the wall hoping to get something to stick.

:tut: He's signed through 2025 & 1 of the top 5 highest paid in the league as well.

From now until next season, or when the Wilfs pull the trigger, it is going to be wishful thinking.

It doesn't seem like all that long ago, but it probably was...  Remember when Spielman made some - what at the time seemed painful - veteran cuts so the team could go younger?

They picked up the likes of Anthony Barr, Everson Griffen, Danielle Hunter, Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes, Erik Kendricks - that defense was stacked!  Now the guys that are still around are older, slower, get hurt more, and play less.  The veterans they signed are in the same boat and the new guys they drafted haven't panned out yet.

Yes, it seems to be time to get Kapt. Kirk's money off the books and blow the whole thing up.

The formula for success in the NFL is to bottom out, draft a QB in the first round, hope he pans out to be a franchise guy, and load up on wise free agent signings while the QB is still on his rookie deal.

It means they're less likely to get rid of 'em 6 months later IMO & if they do it costs more. The players, not so much, they'll just sit out & force a trade.  :sad:

If they dump Zim or Speilman they have to pay them for not showing up for 2 years.  If they get other jobs the Wilfs wouldn't have to pay the full amount.
