Re: No More Ponder!!!!
I wonder how Jerry Burns might describe Ponder's play against the Packers.

41-28 last game. They might be terrible but it was a win. Think about it. Maybe people need to look at that game tape.fiestavike wrote: Terrible. they've been terrible all year.

Re: No More Ponder!!!!
I'm not sure what that has to do with the line play. It was a good scheme against Atlanta and it worked. Line play still sucked.purplehaze wrote: 41-28 last game. They might be terrible but it was a win. Think about it. Maybe people need to look at that game tape.

Re: No More Ponder!!!!
Stare at your receiver before you get the snap? Blame the receiver and offensive line for not doing their job! 
Re: No More Ponder!!!!
Oh, for crying out loud. Ponder "apologists"? Really? Honestly, guys. There is no such thing. He's a third string QB and he's still the whipping boy. Yes, he sucks. But so does the fact that both Cassel and Bridgewater are hurt. And Rudolph. And the OL is unsurprisingly a hot, inconsistent mess. Don't even get me started on the defensive line play. This team put up a big ol' stinker tonight. But please, let's throw down on our third string QB.
Do I wish he was not a Viking? Sure. But he's here, and he's ours. So, it would be nice if he could somehow succeed.

Re: No More Ponder!!!!
Can the Vikings just cut Ponder already, he is their equivalent of a malignant tumor.

But he can't. And maybe we should blame the guy that kept him here. Despite it being clear he couldn't succeed?Do I wish he was not a Viking? Sure. But he's here, and he's ours. So, it would be nice if he could somehow succeed.

Re: No More Ponder!!!!
Ponder has certainly played worse than he did tonight. We had a lot of problems in this game, of which he was only 1.BGM wrote:Oh, for crying out loud. Ponder "apologists"? Really? Honestly, guys.
