The offense needs more Turpin targets and Leupke was invisible today . Oh please . Leupke would have at least been an improvement over Zeke .

Zimmer has two things going for him. The injuries and his relationship with the Jones.

McCarthy won't be fired (yet) because that would mean Jerry has to admit he was dead wrong yet again.

Now, there may be some sacrificial lambs:

Brian Schottenheimer - Literally no one cares.
Jeff Blasko - What running game?
Robert Prince - WR's get no separation, routes and route concepts are basic.
Scott McCurley - Only because McCarthy literally scapegoated him before, just before he got the axe in Green Bay.
This reminds me of 2010.

Mike gonna get fired. Soon. Maybe tonight.

Jerry ain't firing his buddy Zimmer. This is the idiot who makes half his personnel decisions based on sentimentality. McCarthy might go, but who is he going to replace him with? That's right, buddy boy Zimmer.

Yes. Zimm gets the HC gig.

It is really unfair for Zimmer. He signed up for it but still.

Even great coaches lose it eventually. Look when Kiffin was here. Maybe Zimmer has reached that point. It wouldn’t surprise me.

But they gave him Quinn’s defense minus free agent subtractions and asked for him to play his scheme with a lot of players who probably don’t fit. Who could have seen that coming? Hint…if you did not that says more about you.

McCarthy will be gone but I think he has done pretty good here. The stinker in the playoffs tell the final grade though. I think if he goes to a normal team with a solid qb, he is still a good coach. Coaches just can’t win big here. One guess why.

Forget accountability, it's clear our players don't even love playing for these coaches anymore. They know MM shouldn't have been brought back after the GB loss. Look at the lions, Campbell, ben Johnson, Aaron glenn. Those guys have their players believing in the system. Our guys don't.

We can win with this roster, flawed as it is. But you need guys to get the most out of it.
Wasn’t it Dak at MMs house in Pittsburgh last week??? Dak loves fat Mike because there is no accountability. He’s a soft human.

Jerry was plenty pissed. Only question is, what took so long and why did he ignore free agency? Right now, heads must roll. This was lack of effort. Lions averaged 10 yards a play. Unacceptable.

Zimmer blaming is funny to me. How about this. Name 3 defensive coordinators that would fix the d? Anybody saying Dan Quinn isn't serious

No one can fix this mess. But why put it off any longer? Let's see who wants to be here. Someone has to go.

Jerry is getting soft in his old age, a younger Jerry would have fired both by now

It's the only way for this team to have some accountability at this point. This team is historically bad, and I think Zimmer gets the axe on Monday. MM will be gone the following bye week at this rate.
Firing anyone you want still won't fix the stupidity at the top
