Big props to Mrs. Ponder for getting that boy turned around in the last couple of weeks. :lol:

Did anyone else kind of want the game to go into OT so Peterson could get the record? :P

There is no way Winfield does not play next week. The only way to keep him off the field is to leave him in MN.

But he stepped up in the fourth quarter today. Good job, kid.

Now keep it up.
I think this game determined the future of Ponder and Vikings no matter what happens next week he is our QB next year.

I hope so. Same with Smith. Lots of guys banged up. Especially in the secondary. I'm scared.

AD has to be MVP. He litterally got us to the playoffs, while Manning has a really good D. And they had an easier scheduel. Maybe Fraizer is a better HC then I ever thought. From 3-10 to 10-6 is pretty unreal.

After hearing his interview and seeing the players reaction, Peterson might have thought he broke it.

Ponders play with the receivers we have is huge. This guy can be the guy, gentlemen. Took it all the way to this game to prove it. When it mattered most we had a passing game.

That said, I don't think this team can win without Winfield. We need him next week.

It sounded like he really wasn't paying that close attention to it. He was focused on the win. If he doesn't get MVP then the award means nothing. No way to we even 'sniff' the playoffs without him...

He knew damn well he came up short. He's too classy to sound disappointed.
