Good morning Horners! Within 24 hours after the Minnesota Vikings getting soundly defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, 21-7, there has been a big repercussion. Fans everywhere started discussing who was to blame, or how the blame should be shared for what is so far turning out to be a disappointing season because none of us suspected that we'd be 6-6-1 at this point in the season. Many have talked about the flaws in Kirk Cousins’ play, offensive coordinator John DeFilippo’s very predictable, almost Brad Childress like playcalling reminiscent of the Kick @$$ Offense, head coach Mike Zimmer's ability to manage more than just the defense, and/or what seems like the inability of Rick Spielman to address the offensive line in any sort of real effective manner. Your favorite three old guys on GMG after the game questioned it like everyone else.

Video of the Episode

Ted Glover, Drew Bunting, and me, David Stefano shared our initial reactions following the Vikings performance at CenturyLink Field. Needless to say, frustration levels were a little high. We all knew that even though Kirk Cousins isn't playing up towards what we feel his contract demands, that he is and will be the Vikings quarterback through 2020. Any changes in status would not affect him in a way that would take him off the field, less of future injury, Odin forbid. That left the logical choice being OC John DeFilippo because it was very unlikely that Mike Zimmer nor Rick Spielman were in any sort of danger of losing their jobs at this point in the season.

Playcalling was very inefficient and uncreative, to the point where after the game Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner stated that they had watched everything on tape, and the offense did exactly what it did before. He also stated they were not ready to play. That gets put directly on JDF’s lap, and Zimmer made the decision to salvage the season and fire him. After arriving back in Minneapolis at, 4:30 in the morning DeFilippo was officially notified 11 AM of his termination. Kevin Stefanski was promoted from quarterbacks coach to interim offensive coordinator. He basically has a three-game working interview to secure the job for next year.

This change in December is very reminiscent of what happened in 2012 with the Baltimore Ravens when they did the exact same thing firing their offensive coordinator almost on the same day. The Ravens went on to win the Super Bowl that year, hopefully, history will repeat itself this time as well. Either way, it seemed to lift the spirits of many fans and instill a hope that seemed to be waning. What are your thoughts on the game and what has transpired since?

Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 038 – Sleepless Over Seattle

 

Good morning Horners! As the Minnesota Vikings prepare for their Monday night game against the Seattle Seahawks, Ted, Drew and myself got together and looked to see what is in our favorite team’s future. Questions abound everywhere with the first being, will the Vikings make the playoffs? This will be very dependent on how they play Monday.

 

Did you know, that there is only been one coach in the history of the modern NFL that has won a Super Bowl that did not within his first five years? If the Vikings failed to make it to the big game this year, head coach Mike Zimmer will fall into that category of not winning in his first five seasons. He has improved the team over the years, but has he stalled with poor decisions on who he hires to run the offense, or has his vision for how the team should play the game grown stale? Any game in the relatively short NFL season can be significant, but this one even more so on how it relates to the Vikings making the playoffs and giving them the opportunity to surprise and make that run through the Super Bowl.

 

The team will have to set the tone early, and by early we are looking at the first and second drive of the game. If they do not score early and often, CenturyLink Stadium will be rocking with the 12th man, all of those rabid fans. The way to silence them will be to shut down Russell Wilson, their running game, and the overall play of the Seahawks. Three and outs should be the goal for every defensive stand. Kirk Cousins needs to have one of his "good Kirk" games, along with offensive coordinator John DeFilippo calling a more balanced game. Running the ball against Seattle should be more effective because they are not very good at defending it. Dalvin Cook and Latavius Murray should be able to have a very good night.

 

Ted goes over how a victory improves the Vikings odds to make the playoffs greatly. If they win Monday night, and then don't implode over the last three games of the season, they should easily lock up a playoff spot. However, that will not be the case if they going to Seattle lethargic, and not on top of their game. Player motivation will be key to determine just that.

 

Drew introduced a new game, called "Way or No Way" in which he asked some interesting questions. How would you answer them? Overall, the crew wasn't feeling overly optimistic about the prime time contest, however we all will be watching and cheering for the victory. How is your mood for the team heading into this road game?
