But with Ponder it's always like this - you get some good snaps and some bad snaps. The good just never outweighs the bad. Even if he finishes with a perfect 2nd half it just balances out his awful first half.
ofcourse, but maybe a ray of hope starts shining through? cause like it or not he's our guy for the rest of this season at least.

Except at the end. Everybody knew that run play was coming on first and ten. Grrrr...

I guess a Vikings has to slip on every KO return. Havent seen a Bear player do it yet.

I predict Robinson gets a pick-6 on this drive. (I can dream, can't I?)

I was just thinking the same thing. Hopefully it continues.

The refs are calling nothing on these special teams plays.

Bears are getting away with a lot on those returns. Hester is really good and I don't want to take away from what he's done, but I've seen at least one significant foul on each of those big returns and the refs haven't called one.
