vettespd20 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I agree 100 percent. I wanted this badly for the team and us but I really wanted this for him!! I can not amagine what he was going through, think about it he has been with her over HALF HIS LIFE. WHO DEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 This game seemed to be for Mike and his late wife Vikki. The team never got down no matter how many times Brad f**ked up. Something I can't recall seeing as a Bengals fan. It's like they knew they could win, and just went about their business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 It was hard not to choke up, all the defense guys around him, hugging him, it was a great site. That win was for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And great "game ball" scene. I remain in awe of Zimmer's toughness. I hope this helps him, even if it's only a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I dunno, I'm not saying the majority, or even more than a few, have genuinely deep feelings for Zim in one way or another. What they showed today was that they've bought into his coaching and schemes and are playing their tails off. Whether it was out of personal affection for him, sympathies for his horrible trauma or just a personal pride in one's work or maybe a combination, they did him proud and it speak of a respect at least.Who knows, he might take more out of it were it just a performance based on personal and professional pride. What a testament to his work and effort that would be and in some small way a testament to the people who have been supporting him and supported him in the past, most notably his wife. Of course, I have no doubt she was genuinely liked, from the stories that have been told. It matters not really. Nothing will bring her back but the D did him and his wife proud today and didn't add, even though losing a game means nothing in the grand scheme of life, to an already painful time for him.Requiescat in pace Vicki Zimmer.

jjakq27 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 to see marv hand zim the game ball, then zim fighting back the tears to address the team. very moving brought a tear to my eye.I was hoping they might do something like that had the won. Nice to see that CBS showed that clip and later ESPN came back after discussing the Broncos win over NE, and showed the same clip. I was sobbing like a little kid. Lost in all of the euphoria is a family having to deal with a tragic loss. Thoughts and prayers go out again for their family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 “We’re going to put our arms around him and give him all the love we can,’’ Marvin Lewis said. The players already did that. For three hours on Sunday afternoon.Nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of success. Hopefully he'll stick around for a couple more yrs yet but eh, one yr of success (assuming we maintain) is more than enough to get the sharks circling.

Hopefully he'll stick around for a couple more yrs yet but eh, one yr of success (assuming we maintain) is more than enough to get the sharks circling.Would be nice but I remember reading about him getting the shaft in past that people were surprised he hasn't got shot yet...so I would love to see him turn them down but at the same time I'd like to see him get his chance...Just a shame because if we had to pick a new HC he's who I would want.PS,Mike Brown needs to make Zimmer the highest payed DC and more then most HC's maybe that would keep him around hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Indeed. Hard to argue against Marvin. he got the DC in and has helped build this thing again, much like he did in '04/'05 - hopefully with a different and longer lasting future but yeah Zimmer has an attitude and I think it's translated to the entire team, not just the D. Maybe, bump in pay and asst HC unless Marv is against that.Of course, the NFL is weird at times. Maybe he just gets passed over. Not young enough, McDaniels etc or fat enough, Ryan/Mangini.

SupaBran Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Powerful stuff! Gave me chills...I can't believe how inspired they played! Think about it, this is the same D that got schooled by the Clowns, and without Carson giving them 7(I seem to be saying that every week! )We completely dominated that game, regardless of the score! This one was def. for the Zimmer family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Asst I don't think marvin would have a problem since Zimmer is one of his guys where Paul Alexander is more of one of Mr Browns.

Pidge Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 You think Jerrah! dumps Garret along with his phat contract when he finally elbows Wade aside? A clean break? Didn't Zimmer leave under a certain atmosphere?I'd hate to see him go somewhere so douchey. He could do good things in Washington, if he could put up with Snyder.
