Detroit thanks Mike Zimmer for calling two timeouts in the last few seconds of the game so they could get organized to make the winning touchdown.

Zimmer is a terrible game manager. Spielman and Zimmer are awful at cap management. Time to go. Can’t even gut and rebuild this team because of all the stupid massive contracts.
He should have covered that wide open wide out better
This will be another one of those situations where Cousins will get all the blame for the loss and nobody will mention poor defense the entire game, as well as terrible play calling spurts (like...every 2PT attempt past the first one).
I like how every DB was at least 2 or 3 yards deep in the endzone. Easy throw and catch
I don’t get this thinking. He’s the second rated qb in the league this season so far. Of all the problems, you blame Cousins the most?
I wondered that same thing. Full zone coverage dropped into the endzone with no pressure at the goal line or on the receivers. Pitch and catch, no difficulty whatsoever.
I wasn't talking about Zimmerman; I was talking about Dan Campbell with the Lions. I'm not saying Zimmer doesn't deserve to be fired, because I have no clue - I don't follow the Vikings. But the Lions, if coached competently, potentially wouldn't have even needed to win on the final play of the game.
Cousins isn't the one losing these games, full stop. They're the ~10th best offense in the league.
Now, that ~30th-ranked defense they're paying a metric s***ton of money for...
It’s typical dumb fan thinking. They are paying Hunter and Barr like a million dollars per snap they are available, Smith a huge salary when he can’t cover anymore, you’ve drafted a bunch of corners in the first round and none of them can play, and you’ve got an offensive line sans Darisaw that looks like they went to an Edina IHOP and found four fat guys to start.
Well I had to start Jared Goff last minute in my fantasy league because of Jalen Hirts being ruled out (we start 2 qbs in our league). I was somewhat happy at the end
Yeah you need to at least be in front of the endzone so they can't get a full head of steam and cross easily into the endzone.
And for only rushing 3 guys on the last 2 plays. Goff is terrible when facing pressure so why not just let him sit back there and have all day to find an open receiver when you have awful corners and you're missing your 2 stud LBs.
Cousins is trash, the sooner the vikings realize it the better. I would take cam newton over fumbling choking Kirk.
