Vikings @ Bears Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 12

[VikingLord]

Just feed AD now. No, the Vikings won't win. Yes, they will move the ball and maybe score again.

Sucks not having a QB. They're playing 10 against 11 with Ponder out there.

[J. Kapp 11]

What happened? We actually stopped them on third down.

It was third and 14. They ran it and gained 9.

Don't try and run against us, Bears.

[Lash Man]

I know hind sight is 20/20, but a fg would have made a 2 score game. Also, if you are going to go for it on 4th down, should have had AP run it twice.

Bingo thats the logical thing to do run your thoroubred ! But no we will put it in the hands of our feeb QB and roll him left where he is absolutely his worst .

Ponder wets his pants under pressure. It's a shame. You can't coach that out of him... he's a bust. I hope they realize it sooner than later, because it's painful to watch this.

I think they coached it into him,

[Just Me]

Let's let AD run it into the red zone again, and then not give him another hand off for the remainder of the drive. Can I be the Vikings Offensive Coordinator now?

It wasn't a called rollout. Ponder reverted to his old habits.

[CalVike]

But we need to give him 40 games to make sure.

48. He's too much like Tebow in this sense. They have to change him to make it work. That's never a good thing. Go Vikes!

[purplehaze]

easy to say!

Yes, it is easy to say but I cannot remember once all year (or ever) him stepping up in the pocket and delivering a throw. All other QB's in the league do it. His first move 99% of the time is to run sideways. Ponder is a pu$$y. Hell, even T-Jack would step up in the pocket once in a while, granted it was a jump pass. Incredible.

[J. Kapp 11]

Ponder wets his pants under pressure.

But you can't really tell with this new material they use for football pants.

[Just Me]

Jenkins doing his Simpson imitation there...

[PurpleKoolaid]

Who was more to blame for that blown 4th down. You have AD, and you have Ponder. Its Musgrave. Ponder can only make the first read quick throw and is lucky even then. Musgrave should know that. You give the ball to AD in that situation.

48. He's too much like Tebow in this sense. They have to change him to make it work. That's never a good thing. Go Vikes!

But unlike Tebow, he was suppose to be polished and ready to go. Understand the game. Good mechanics.

[me4get]

When you play against the Saints, Cowboys, NY, GB, Bears, Indy you play against the refs too.

[w_huisman]

We've got a running back getting paid 10 million a year and we don't run him 3rd and 2. What the hell?

THIS. Makes no sense at all. A play caller in the NFL should NEVER NEVER NEVER have a problem getting a first down at 3rd n 2 with the best RB in the league. NEVER.

FIRE THE OC.

[Just Me]

Wow. The disaster continues...
