Bears @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 14

[Purple bruise]

Fraizer and Ponder 1 game closer to keeping their job next year yay. Im thankful we have a secondary that can make picks and we have a demi god in AD. But this rebuilding year really isnt rebuilding anything with ponder out there.

For god sakes do you ever stop Give the Vikes Marshall and let Cutler play with the Vikings wideouts and see what's up.
I am convinced that no team in the league has as bad of Wideouts as the Vikes.
You seem almost disappointed in the outcome You think that this team is not rebuilding Do you not think that beating the Bears, who were in first place, is any accomplishment at all? Do you think that having already won 4 more games than last year (with three left) and being 3-2 in the division after losing all of their division games and being in the play-off hunt is not an improvement Unbelievab le

Cool. It's so much easier to enjoy that with a Vikings win.

And both on my fantasy team

Watching Philly play... their 2nd string QB, Foles, is waaaaaay better than Ponder.

Just drove them for a winning TD.

Kirk cousins is way better than ponder .

OFC no other team has worse WR then the Vikes cause other teams dont have Ponder throwing them the ball. Ponder is a cancer on this team and makes rebuilding almost immpossible. I dont know what the rest of your post is about.

Step away from the sharp things, man. It's OK.

Look, I get the criticism, especially of Ponder. This team won in spite of him today. There is no doubt about that. I'm happy to get the win, but winning games thanks to two INTs with huge returns is not sustainable.

We've definitely made some strides this year. The defense is, to me, miles better than last year. AP is just plain amazing, and the O-line is making progress, especially in the running game. But we can't win consistently with a QB who throws for 91 yards --and it's one of his BETTER days of the past seven games.

I agree with all your points but would add that the D-line also played outstanding today.

Great win by the team!

[tmscr]

is it just me or was that an incredibly boring game? don't get me wrong, thrilled with the vikings win, but it seemed like the offense was on cruise control after they got their 14 points. vikings were fortunate to win today. the defense played very well, but chicago did not have their best game. this win is nice and the vikings are still alive for the playoffs, but i'm not losing perspective. it's beating a dead horse, but the vikings need to make a switch at QB. although, i will say ponder was under a lot of pressure today, but i had visions of t-jack.

AD and Marshall exchange jerseys at the end of the game.

Very cool! Man, they were both unstoppable today.

i mentioned this in another thread, but i felt sorry for adrian today. the guy is probably not human, as we all know. but how many more beatings can this guy take, long term? you don't have to be hit hard to be beaten up and 8 gigantic men falling on you all game because our QB doesn't make plays cannot be a positive thing.

I agree. Jenkins had a nice game today, but AD is getting killed out there.

what happened to Rudolph BTW?

i have no idea. it seemed that ponder was under more pressure than in recent weeks, but it's still unconscionable that our RB continues to outgain our QB. once the vikings got the 2 score lead, they seemed content to keep it out of ponder's hands.

[yezzir]

Does AD have more yards rushing than Ponder does passing?

EDIT:

Adrian

2012 Season
ATT YDS TD
234 1,446 8

Ponder

2012 Season
RAT YDS TD
79.4 2,305 14




Ok my bad. Bad question. That ratio is still ridiculous though.
