It is ridiculous that Collinsworth is gushing over giving the ball to the only offensive player who is doing his job. The Packers had AD dead to rights at the five, and it was sheer force of will by AD that made it a TD. Thank goodness for phantom PI calls, huh?

I do not give Musgrave credit for that. Peterson was being Peterson on that day, making extra effort.

Gutsy? That was the most gutless cowardly balless call he could make.

This is probably obvious to you locals who see the Vikings all the time, but to out of towner me, what I think I'm seeing is that Ponder just doesn't see the field well. Not the same as not being able to read a defense, I just don't think he is able to process what he is seeing very quickly, so misses the down field play and goes for short dinks, because that's all he sees. I could be wrong, but he just seems to get antsy very quickly back there.
