Steelers@Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread--London Edition

Jennings and Simpson are the only guys to have catches..... That's kinda bad, no?

Thats the Vikings fan spirit! Vikings over Steelers 20-10 at the half and you still manage to find something to complain about

Did Ponder even hit 2 WRs the previous 3 games? I know Cassel has more TD passes to WRs this year.

Every team I pick in the Pick 4 league gets its balls smashed in.

Bears, Seahawks and Ravens this week. UGGH.

Wow. Not good. Steelers almost had one drive longer than every drive we had.

It just goes to show how bad Ponder has been. We are watching Cassel and saying how great he looks

[Just Me]

So far Patterson hasn't done much other than show our corners how to defend a ball in the endzone.

I noticed that too. On the upside, I think we can replace Robinson with him right now and it would be an upgrade.

I'm encouraged by the job Cassel did in the first half. Offense seems to have more energy. He really zips the ball in there. There is no comparison in arm strength. The misses might be some rust. Got lucky with that fumble, he was careless in protecting it. The protection has been so much better today than last week. I'm not going to get too excited over one half against a below average defense. We'll see how Cassel finishes

Is anyone else noticing a feed problem with this game? the commercials are fine, the Lions/Bears game is fine, yet the Steeler/Viking game keeps skipping and freezing?

Me too.

[Raptorman]

Vikings need to stop them on this first drive of the second half.

[PurpleKoolaid]

The sad thing is, as bad as Robinson is, Greenway is worse. And he is getting paid about 100 times the amount.

[TheFoxInDetox]

I guess perhaps the Vikings ain't so bad

I've been saying all along that the Vikings aren't that bad. Terrible QB play has been dragging down all aspects of the game. Put Peyton Manning on this team and we would be a Superbowl contender.

Truthfully, he looks average. He is more decisive and he makes a decision and goes with it. His pocket awareness is much better, but he scrambles like a pregnant Yak. All of which is to say he is noticeably better than Ponder in the passing department. Is there such a thing as a 'pinch-scrambler' in football?

[TheFoxInDetox]

I live in Green Bay, and I was worried the local TV stations were messing with the CBS feed just to ruin the Viking game

If you live in GB there is probably just a fat girl standing outside your trailer house, blocking your reception

[TheFoxInDetox]

And average is about 10 times better than Ponder. He is truly terrible.

Bend but don't break, too much for my heart....im sick of our D and our ultra conservative O
