You guys are seriously resorting to blaming Ponder for a draw play fumble? C'mon. There are many reasons to doubt Ponder, but claiming the playcalling was because of a lack of confidence seems like a stretch. Had he broken that run, like it looked like he would have, it would be hailed as a brilliant play. As it is, it was a great defensive play.

I agree... They should just run the rest of the game. They are better at run blocking anyway.

Let's go defense!

Who is he throwing the ball to there? he stepped up nothing happening and tried to go. Jesus some people need to relax about every little thing he does.

From what I've read its almost like its Ponders fault for the fumble and the D sucking aswell.

A draw on 3rd-and-10 from inside your own 20? You think that was a good call?

Harvin was well covered but Ponder flat out missed Rudolph on the previous drive and Armomashodu on this one. Needs to settle down, his receivers are getting open.

There are only 3 starting quarterbacks in this league I WOULDN'T rather have than Christian Ponder.

Brandon Weeden, John Skelton and Blaine Gabbert. That's it.

I maintain: we would be an awesome team with a competent, AVERAGE quarterback.

Just unleash the beast and don't let him stop!

Yeah, it was a conservative playcall.
3rd and 10 from the Seattle 10 yard line in Seattle?
Sometimes Billicheck doesn't even trust Brady in those situations.
Cmon people.

And heres the thing... Ponder wasn't the one who fumbled it! Ha!

It's comical. This is an exciting team. You'd think we were terrible. Enjoy the totality of a fun team.

No rainbow on Wilson's passes. Take note front office.

Now *that* is an NFL read and throw by Wilson.

Wish Ponder could make that throw
