Re: Fire Spielman too?

From what I'm reading there was no GM on the Vikings pre Spielman and since he arrived he had a huge impact on the drafting of guys like AP, Harvin, Rudolph, etc. In terms of talent evaluation many of the first round picks for the Vikings have panned out well, or been very solid players and one coul...

Re: Vikings/Ravens Postgame Thoughts

Maybe its me overstating the effect of Rhodes but I have this feeling that last quarter would have gone a different tune had Rhodes been in.

Re: 113.1

I guess we have very different definitions of the word "zip" and "excel" lol, but yes that was a nice pass too. He had several nice passes tonight. But in every single Ponder start this year the announcers have ripped Ponder for the exact same things. Late, soft, under thrown, b...

Re: 113.1

But did you see that 25 yard strike to Simpson between 2 defenders on 3rd n 9 that Ponder couldn't make in a zillion years? Ponder had a decent game, again by his standards, but he still relies way too much on the TE. Hardly anything to the WR's again. I mean come on, we got some weapons for him an...

Well you just taught me something tonight. I was wrong!

Re: Redskins @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 10

I know people hate Ponder but he has been a big part of this team and why they've scored 24+ points when he was at the helm. Yes, yes, yes I know the Redskins have a bad defense but so did the Giants but heck that didn't stop Freeman from being terrible.

I'm not a master of anatomy but your collarbone is far away from your forearm which he was holding.

The Defense is losing us this game...


Not...


Ponder?

That feels weird.
That was 2 of the first 3 games where Ponder put us in a place to win and the defense threw it away.

Not being in sync doesn't cause you to miss more throws than you hit.

Re: Secondary is a more immediate concern than quarterback

Meaning what? Frazier can't substitute a competent player he has riding pine (Rhodes) for one of the worst defensive players in the league currently (Robinson)? He can't acquire the necessary talent, be it via the draft or FA, to execute his "Kick A$$ Defense"? Poor Frazier! He's such a b...
