Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 8

[S197]

Lets hope Ponder has a similar performance as the last time he got a chance to play the cheeseheads.

This game will not be decided by the starting QB of the Vikings. It will be decided by the defense of the Vikings.

It will be decided by both. The Vikings have had poor to mediocre defenses in the past and have had enough offense to overcome the deficiencies. As have many, many other NFL teams. Not with this offense, however.

Heading down to Minneapolis shortly. Can't wait to see my people.

That was an awesome last drive and game-winning TD from Stafford.

Another 30-31 win on a last second drive which seems to be the flavor this season. I wouldnt be surprised if this game ends on a last second drive.

If Cassel was starting we might have a chance

If Cassel was starting, the offense would do better, but we'd have about the same chance we have right now. Unfortunately our defense has almost made our offense irrelevant...

[Mothman]

If there's a chance the offense will do better, why isn't he starting?

Because there's also a chance he'll lay an egg again like he did against Carolina?

There's a chance Ponder will do better too.

I really don't understand the way Frazier is handling the QB position.

I'm not even sure Frazier understands it.

Or that he is actually handling it. Maybe Rickie is still whispering in peoples ear.

I think this has just been an elaborate and genius plan to juice up Ponder and make him take that next step in his maturation into our franchise QB. It may be wasted on a dud like Ponder but who knows, we might be looking back on this some day as the "turning point!"

No matter what happens in this game, the Packers still suck.

As with most things this staff does, they are waaaaaay behind. I was suggesting they bench him last year because I thought it would do him good. I think its too late now, and frankly this is so belated I just don't care anymore. I want to see Ponder flame out in glorious fashion, rather than show encouraging baby steps that keep him around longer.

Tonight we'll see if Ponder is pride-fueled... and if that's enough to overcome his other issues.

Have fun!

Thanks guys. I'm in my seat now. Little less than an hour to go. I have a good feeling about this game, but that could be due to all the Vikings love. Couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous night either. We got this!!! I'm drinking my water in preparation for all the yelling I'm about to do!!! Oh yeah, caught up with Syd so my brother could get a picture with him, too. It's been fun so far, hopefully the Vikings help that continue!
