Mike Zimmer apologized to the Vikings players for not leading them to where they need to go

Of course Ron didn't say that, because ITS NOT HIS FAULT!!!

And of course Dave won't shoulder any of the blame... because ITS NOT HIS FAULT!!!

The failures of this season fall squarely on the players... nobody else. 

I know this because Ron and Dave NEVER accept responsibility for their fug ups

Fox post game locker room just showed a little of his speech. He didn't make injury excuses. He stood there like a man and blamed himself and was holding back tears. You think Ron did that? fug no

I bet my life savings Ron has not and will not do that. This is all due to injuries and players only, in Rivera's head. If it helps him sleep at night then sweet dreams. But then you have Shula who knows a lot of failures this season comes from bad coaching.

Rivera's version: "It's very unfortunate that we had all the injuries that we had this year. And you know, if the ball bounces our way a few times, we would be right in the thick of things, and I really believe that Joe. We have a great group of guys in there and we were just unlucky this year".

According to themselves, these coaches have made no mistakes. They don't hold themselves accountable and neither does ownership. It's why a culture of mediocrity has been created and tolerated here.

Thank you!! I said months ago that management/ownership was okay with mediocracy and some people got their panties in a bunch, but it's true. Richardson is okay with it, Gettleman is okay with it, and Ron is as well.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
