Vikings @ Packers Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 5

[Superman]

I almost don't want Ponder to score and pad his stats. But I love the Vikes more than I dislike ponder, so let's get a quick meaningless 7 points.

[halfgiz]

If we had cut ponder we'd be seeing harnish right now and still paying ponder.

Regardless though, people can talk about the protection or the receivers or the defense all you want. Ponder is the xfactor in this game. You can't compete with a performance like this out of your QB.

His QB passer rating this game is 26.917

McCarthy is laughing on the sideline!!!! LOL

He probably realizes it's not in his team's best interest to hasten the Vikings getting rid of Ponder, so he told his defense to let them score.

higher than his IQ probably.

It's all garbage time now, can we just forfeit the 4th quarter and go home?

[PurpleMustReign]

Not sure what that means, but I wouldn't wish ponder on anyone, except maybe the saints.

I don't understand it either. What exactly did we deserve? How did we deserve this???

It's also in his best interest to lose weight, but he can't stand to cut the Twinkies out. This is what this game has brought me to - fat jokes.

Now that the Vikings scored to cover the over to offset my IDIOTIC bet on the Vikes to cover ... Yes, they can forfeit.

LEAFMAN THE PURPLE FAN

Typically 3rd stringers are developmental players, Ponder is developmentally challenged.

Exactly! Rookie / Veteran. Starter / Backup. Developmental.

Why did SPIELTARD keep Ponder? We had a veteran, a rookie, get a guy for the scout team. Get a guy with potential. Don't keep your overpaid FAILURE.

[PurpleKoolaid]

So it's Spielmans fault for holding onto him as a 3rd string QB????.....he's a 3rd string QB, they are ALL BAD. Hence why they are 3rd string

Yeah, but not all are as bad as #7. Some have hopes of playing in the NFL one day. Coaches grooming a 3rd string. I said we should have dumped #7 when we dropped MBT. I was right. Its time to just dump him. Not that #7 was the only problem today, but he HURT us, not helped us. He has regressed even further.

[frosted]

At least I get to add to the Dirty Harry tracker...


I just puked - POOOOOONNNNNNDDDDDDEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!

[frosted]

Jerick is good. I can't wait to see Ted back under center.

[Demi]

McKinnon did more on that run than Asiata has done to make some yards all season.

And our safety? If it isn't Smith, we might as well play one man down. No where in coverage, and Blanton getting run over every other play. Should have kept Chris Crocker huh Zimmer?

[TeddyB]

Guion has 2 sacks...what a joke

[Demi]

Could have kept Guion and kept that big free agent money we spent on fat guy with a bullet in his leg. And likely no real loss in performance.

3 points over Ponder in there for another down. Good choice Zimmer.
