Well, that's one.

After the first 20 minutes it became a fun game to watch.

I have officially sworn off ninjas and pirates.

AD, Robison, Harvin, Greenway, Longwell, Walsh and yes, even Ponder (2nd half Ponder...1st half Ponder need not show up to this victory party) deserve a lot of credit. This was a great team win.

We're still tied for 1st place in the NFC North... too bad Detroit won and it looks like Chicago will, too.

Go Niners!

Gabbert looked pretty good. He looked like a guy who has a bright future in the league.

Walsh is money. Shortwell was not. Ponder showed more in this game then all of last year. I just dont understand how he can be SO far off on some throws.

Nice to see Greenway and Henderson play well, Brinkley is still under the radar though.

Goddammit, Vikings and Lions won but they didn't cover. Terrible start to Pick 4 season.

I'm not saying he was bad, just that we should have had his number a little more imo...Cook should have taken it to the Shorts, not in... :p

Studs:

Ponder: 20/27 for 270 yds. 0 TD's, 0 INT's

Peterson: 17 rushes for 84 yds. 2 TD's, 1 Reception for 3 yds.

Rudolph: 5 receptions for 67 yds.

Harvin: 5 rushes for 20 yds., 6 receptions for 84 yds.

Walsh: 4/4 on FG's, 2/2 on Extra Pts.

HELL YEAH! Great win. Ponder played well and didn't not cost this team a damn thing!

Agree on all of those. Felton did an outstanding job blocking and I thought Raymond played well, very physical. Greenway was also solid in coverage. The line is also MUCH improved from last year.

On the flip side, Allen was disappointing. They ran away from him most of the day but Monroe basically stonewalled him most of the day. I'm also still scratching my head on the last Jax TD. My gripe isn't so much with Cook, his coverage way okay, but where is the safety over the top? They have no timeouts and under 30 seconds to go, the very last position you give up is the deep ball to the sidelines. Let them throw it over the middle.

Also, Carlson needs to get up to speed, quick.
