Here's what Zimmer said after Sunday's win when asked if the Border Battle victory might change the Vikings thinking going forward:
"I don't believe so. Last year, we were pretty good at the trade deadline," Zimmer said. "It just depends on what kind of offers we get or what kind of things we can come up with. It really has nothing to do with the wins at this time."
The second part of Zimmer's quote can be applied perfectly to the two players you mentioned, both of whom are key pieces of the franchise, and beloved players who will likely find themselves in the Vikings Ring of Honor someday.
If Vikings GM Rick Spielman simply gets an offer he can't refuse, then maybe those players are on the move. But I doubt it.
Either way, it will be a very interesting few days for the Vikings.
Hey Eric, fun game Sunday. In my opinion we won as the better team and not by luck. In any case I remain concerned about our punter — he hasn't performed well all season long. What is wrong with Britton Colquitt? He had two more mid-thirties punts against the Packers; and the last one he punted to the 19 was from our 40 and should have easily been fair caught at the 10, or pinned inside the 10. He has a trend the entire season of mid-30/low-40 punts, and it doesn't help at all to give opposing QBs short fields. What's up with him? I am looking for high 50s and low 60-yard punts, but never see them this season? It will cost us big time in the future if he doesn't fix his stuff.

I'll answer Jeff's question in two parts, starting with his assessment of Colquitt's overall season with the Vikings.
To be fair, Colquitt did struggle in the first game or two, according to Vikings Special Teams Coordinator Marwan Maalouf. His quote back on Oct. 8 was that Colquitt "started off a little bit rough" and was trying to do too much instead of focusing on what worked for him through the first 10 seasons of his career.
