Yes. Boo everything Ponder does and start Joe Webb chants. I want to see Webb come in the second half, bring us back and win the game. That will make an interesting situation for Frazier. He will either have to start Webb next week or risk his own job. Ponder is not the long term answer, we should rule out Webb too before the end of the season so we can move on.

Only after you get drunk, so be ready for it and show up for the opening kickoff already hammered.

You know it's bad when the fans of other teams are happy Ponder is coming out.
A family member is a Packers fan, and he was happy to see Ponder keep trotting out because even he felt the Packers would lose if Frazier benched Ponder.
As for the boos, Frazier won't hear them - he'll have his headset on.

If he has a series at all like he had for the first 3 1/2 quarters of last week it could get really ugly, really fast.

I think the fans should start booing if ponder isn't having a good game. I would give him until halftime to prove himself. I think it would be great to see Webb come in for the second half to see what he's got.

If his first series looks like crap, start the chants.

The sad thing is, no matter how much the crowd chants, I don't think frazier will bench ponder. He's said many times that ponder is our guy, and he has very little intention of benching him.

Let's face it, if coaches listened to the boos of the crowd, plenty of huge mistakes would have been made through the years. I'm just not a fan of booing the team you support. Of course, YMMV... free speech and all that. I understand that it is a way for fans to voice their displeasure, it just seems so... useless. Like howling into the wind, so to speak. For my money, take that energy and write a message and send it.
They have a plan in place (and at this point, I doubt their plan will work out as they had hoped), so it'll take more than booing fans to change direction. I have my doubts about the effectiveness of the coaching, and the ability of the QB designate. But boo the team? No thanks. But that's just my opinion.

I will not boo Ponder. Never will. It is not his fault he is placed in this situation. He does not have the talent, nor did he when we drafted him for the role Frazier has cast him. For that I will boo Frazier!

OFC they should boo, fans pay alot of money to see the Vikes play. Not some joke of a QB that continually is put in. But then the Vikes, in their infinate wisdom, put all their cards into one QB, Ponder. Good job Spielman, well played. He should really be the one getting fired when they lose out, but I bet its just Fraizer.
