We'll agree to disagree on that.

They're playing soft here to avoid the big play.

Is it just me or does Ponder's deep ball have the trajectory of a punt as compared to a pass? Seriously.

And you think me not giving him full credit for a play that was a great catch by the receiver is bad.

They're just not on the same page. Ponder is leading Harvin on those bubble screens, throwing it in front of him so that a.) it's a forward pass and b.) Harvin can catch it smoothly on the run. It's not a bad play by either player, just a lack of mutual understanding. They need to talk it out on the sidelines.

Mayock said the same thing I wrote. They were both looking at each other like "what?" That's the only reason I bring it up.
