Ponder has 2 incompletions, 1 to a wide open Harvin on third down which resulted in a punt, which then resulted in 7pts as our Mike LB can never play the deep middle. Ponder also had a costly fumble, Charlie Johnson can't block anyone, and everyone besides Harvin is a non-factor. Plenty of blame to go all around.

This is exactly the problem with a run-oriented approach. You get this high completion percentage and nice drives, but no scoring to match it.

Meanwhile, the opponent comes out and chucks it and even though the stats aren't impressive, they have points on the board.

Yeah, the other side (robinson) isn't doing anything and we can't cover anyone for more than half a second.

At least the Vikes have Blair Walsh. Two competent players (Harvin being the other) is something to build off.

Not disputing any of that, but when someone accuses Ponder's passes of being off the mark and he only has two incompletions, he might expect to have the facts that directly refute it brought up.. Just sayin.
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!
