Oh, and 16/30 for 174 for Ponder...not elite numbers perhaps, but much better than what he's been giving us, right when we needed it!
As only a handful of us have stood by Ponder and have understood that it takes a couple of years for some QB's to mature, especially with the horrible wrs Ponder has to throw to and the intense pressure that most often times kill plays, he has never quit working and Will be that franchize player he was drated to be.
Congrats. on an outstanding road win and for a team that was made ready to play by a really up and coming coach (Frazier) great job. :rock:

I think he was as inconsistent as usual. he had two balls he threw up for grabs he was lucky weren't picked. He missed a number of open receivers. Had a half dozen of his wildly inaccurate throw aways that weren't. Made a few nice plays, but when all he's asked to do is not screw up, and he deos his best to try and screw up. Despite everything going the Vikes way.

That was definitely one of the team's greatest road wins! AC was unstoppable.
