At least tonight. He seems to have some good chemistry with Simpson, I think we'll definitely feel his absence these first three games.

The whole OL is getting manhandled. Run blocking looks BAD.

The Vikes are just terrible. At least SD's second team makes enough mistakes to make the Vikes think they have a chance. Ponder is Ponder, a 4th round average QB at best.

The only reason the Vikes are only behind by 3, at home, against the second team.

Why aren't they going three WR's right and Kyle Rudolph split wide left and just throw a jump ball to him

I miss Mayock. But I don't mind PA on the radio (especially compared to the likes of Joe Buck and others).
