Buccaneers @ Vikings Gameday Discussion Thread -- Week 8

That O line was stellar tonite were'nt they.....oh wait a minute, that was Ponders fault also...never mind

Oline players look like they went out drinking before this game.

Good catcher, but not athletic enough to separate from defenders.

That hardly mattered in the preseason and during camp. Just get it in his area. Ponder's confidence going to him even if covered a bit outside the red zone has seemed to evaporate. Granted he's a bit slower than Harvin so that means the O-line would have to hold their blocks for more than a heartbeat.

IS Johnson really all the Vikes have? He wasnt a good LT and he isnt a good guard, fire him.

Fusco at RG and Schwartz at LG (or vice-versa)? Can't be any worse.

You know, we are 5-3. People think we should be 2-6! We beat the 49ers! I still won't be surprised to see us with 9-10 wins at the end of the season.

Ponder and Johnson are the weakest link. We replace them with good players, we make first downs, AD gets more yards, our D gets more rest. At this point I dont see a WR being the answer. nor was Carlson. Spielman makes as many bonehead moves as good ones.

He was targeted once tonight... he caught it for 12 yds. He can't catch it when Ponder doesn't throw it to him.

I give TB credit, they got beat by a better team today, I don't care what the record says.

I'm still proud of this team. They are still a surprise to me. They have a lot of good pieces in place, today they played a like a young team.

Go Vikings!

I will be very surprised if that happens.

They have Schwartz who was pretty darn good when healthy.

This game exposes the Vikings for what they are: A bad team. I have been hesitant to get excited about our record thus far and this is why. This is exactly how I imagined the outcome of this game. I wish it were different, but if this is how we enter the stretch before the bye, and expose our glaring weaknesses, we are going to get killed after the bye.

Thats what I fear .

With the game we saw tonite how is it possible to think we will be able to win against Seattle, Chicago, G.B, Houston I think 2 more wins is about the max we can expect but 7-9 is a 4 game improvement over last year which is what most expected .

Holy bat snot screaming rat nuts & biscuits and gravy

Well I'm not one to #### my pants every five seconds. Ponder is 10000000x better then he was last year

Yep I hate to admit that but its a fact .

Before the season, I decided that I would be happy if the Vikes finished 8-8 this season... I think that's a realistic final record for this team. They are better than last year, but they are still not a playoff team.
