Desperation game tonight for both sides. Even more so for the Vikings after they disgusting loss against the Lions. Assuming they miss the playoffs, I think Zimmer is done there. I like him as a coach but missing the playoffs 4/7 years with all of the talent they’ve had is bad news. Outside of the shootout they had with Green Bay, their defense is much better at home though. Kirk Cousins is 8-17 in prime time games.
I expressed confidence the other week in the Steelers being able to fix themselves next year when Roethlisberger retires but this roster is in bad shape. Awful offensive line, swiss cheese defense with Hayward probably near retirement, and an awful secondary.
The Steelers look like absolute garbage on both sides of the ball. Claypool is an absolute numb nut with his dumb penalties and lack of blocking. They appear completely lost , making the Jets look good in comparison. Meantime Chris Herndon looks better in blue.
Why in the world is Dalvin Cook still in the game? Mattison is capable and Cook has a busted shoulder.
It's amazing - the Vikings are trying hard to blow a 29-0 lead with the same strategy of soft coverage that cost the game against Detroit. And now a missed tackle gives the Steelers a final chance with 3 seconds left that almost works. If the Vikings had lost this game Zimmer might have been fired before he got to the locker room.
