The Musgrave hate is premature. You have to have a quarterback in order to call plays that allow you win games in the NFL. Right now they can't do that.

When we had 7 minutes, 3 time outs and 2 minute warning we didn't run. Now we've got 2 minutes and we're running!

And I swear to God, if Musgrave calls another scramble to the left I'm gonna gut him like a fish.

I don't know what is more disappointing... the way the Vikings played, or the fact that we know for sure that Frasier won't bench Ponder.

What are they doing now? Is the idea that Peterson is going to win this game on a run or pass behind the line of scrimmage?

Probably thinking what most of us are, how are we losing this game.

Solid point the cover two is dead and we will get gashed by any team with a reasonably accurate QB what troubles me is we hardly played the starters in the pre season and it surely shows doesn't it .
LETS GO VIKINGS ! :rock:

3 turnovers, defense on the field for 40 minutes without Kevin Williams=this happens.

Overthrow and a pick. Game over (1:21 left).
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!

The cherry on the sundae. Ponder overthrows Rudolph, tip ball, INT.
