True in all cases on the Vikings except Ponder. I guarantee Frazier does not have the authority to bench Ponder, without risking his coaching future in Minnesota. Frazier lost all QB decision credibility when he staked his reputation on McNabb. He's a defensive coach.

On the surface it looks like Ponder has played a poor game, but really he has put the ball where it needs to be save for that INT and 2 balls overthrown to Rudy. This one is on the rest of the team and defense.

Tell me again why we didn't want to take a look at Plaxico Burress?

Pass with ponder, run with Peterson, nothing works. Game over.

I think he means the drops are not his fault. The horribly overthrown balls and missing open receivers, however, ARE his fault

Bears came to play today, give them credit for that. Vikings, not so much.

Oh well, we still have some good young pieces in place. Just part of the rebuilding process as far as I'm concerned.

I dont think hes a good QB. Nor do many people. But yeah the entire team added to the suckage today. ponder played his usual game. A few spot on passes, a few that should have been thrown more on target. Is being a Ponder hater a bad thing? What exactly is it?

Why are they calling Time Outs? How embarrassing.
