Frazier and Co. Playing to not make mistakes and handcuffing the team. Always too conservative on the road, no imagination.

If you're a WR on this team you have to be totally depressed. I mean, Ponder won't even give you a chance to make a play. It's not like Ponder isn't getting time back there, either, but no attempts.

The Viking WR's are just being paid to run around, basically.

The defense is based around the pash rush, which feeds off the crowd noise.

Hey, they won that meaningless game at Washington last year that ensured they wouldn't be able to draft Luck or RG III...

Pray for a turnover or two and a lot of good fortune (not Luck).

Another thing. As usual, NO ADJUSTMENTS made during halftime. None. Im telling you this coaching staff needs to go now. Not at the end of the year, now!

Because the Wilf's fall in love with interim guys when wholesale change is needed. End of season is best hope for true regime change.

I'm done for today. They just don't want to even try to win. Ponder seems like his #1 worry is to maintain high completion % instead of going after a win.

Add to that consistent bone headed decisions up and down the roster at very inopportune times... this team is hard to cheer for.

I'm just waiting for the game where someone sends a LB in and plants Ponder into next year on one of those rolls.

Three and out for the Colts? Did the refs accept a bribe or something?

Let's see some Joe Webb... if the QB has to run at least put a guy in there who can make them pay for it.

I'm astonished at how poorly disciplined and coached this team is. I would have been more excited if Wilf fired Les and Musgrave instead of getting the stadium, seriously. Can we get a coach worth a damn?

Hey, Tomlin. Please come back.

Nah, they're up by 2 TD's against our pathetic offense, could just run 3 times and punt for the next 15 minutes and they'll win.
