I'm glad. I want to see how someone else does behind that line of ours. He might have a rough day against Pittsburgh!

Cassel is going to suck so bad I bet. If he starts and doesn't play well, you might as well expect Ponder to start for the rest of the season win or lose.

Nope. The MC is going to have a 3 td performance and more importantly lead us to our first victory. The bonus: It'll make Vikings fans despise Ponder even more. :lol:

How much you wanna bet that even if Cassel has a great game and get us a W that Fraizer will start Ponder next week if healthy though? :lol:

That's fine, because you'll be buying the ticket for me. Besides, it's not cold the first couple months of football season, dork. ;)

I have no doubt. Although, if the Vikings win and Casselll goes 25-30, 310 with 3 TDs and no picks, maybe he'll think about leaving him in there. I know, I know. I'm dreaming now.

Where is our next game after Pitt? I have no doubt Frazier will try to start Plinker but if Cassell wins Sunday and our next game is at home he will be booed off the planet.

Next game(after the bye) is at home vs the Panthers, after that it's MNF in NY vs the Giants.

Ha! I'm with JEC334 on this one, Ponder is back no matter how well Cassel plays. Unless! Unless Ponders ribs are still "sore" after the bye. Can you see that coming? I can see it happening. Cassel throws for over 300, and hey look at that, he gets to go again because Ponder is still nursing the sore ribs. Yep, I can see them stringing the sore ribs out until Cassel has a bad game or looks consistent enough to warrant a permanent change because of what Demi said ...

I've had busted ribs. They were exquisitely painful for many weeks. Cassell is really going to have to suck atrociously for Ponder's ribs to heal in 2 weeks.
