1) Maybe i'm being overly critical but I feel Ponder is a wimp. He finished the game last week after he dinged his elbow. So you couldnt go this game? There is NO tomorrow, have all offseason to recuperate. I guess I would have liked to be at Lambeau to see him throw early (as I heard he did) to see how bad it was. If the throws were effective but it was that he just had some pain, bite the bullet for the team or take a shot for pain klike Winfield did. Lord knows when the next time you will get a chance to be in the playoffs. Get some inspiration from some of the other veterans like Winfield.
2) Part of this is the organizations fault for going into the season without a legitimate backup quarterback.
3) Somehow this defense needs to learn to come up with some turnovers, The number they do get is pathetic.
4) Love Jerad Allen but I saw two or three plays in the first half where the ball was snapped and he seemed to still stay in his stance for almost a full second. Whats up with that? Somehow trying to bait the OT?
5) Nice going Jasper, give them the touchdown instead of the field goal (not that it mattered in the end). I hate how the rule has been changed, with the penalty being called before the offense even snaps the ball. That is s crock to me, I've seen in other games also. Whatever happened to an extra player trying to sprint off the field before the snap.
6) I dont know why they dont line up and then run AP from three or four receiver sets at times to free up the congestion at the line some. If the safties are going to cheat, work some more play action in there from those sets.
7) Obviously this team needs more legitimate recievers that can get some seperation. Dont understand what was up with Harvin. Did he really need to go in IR or was this a mistake move by management, its been over two months since the sprain, he couldnt have helped by now?
Its gonna be a long few years with ARod around, he is a complete Viking (and North division) killer.On the positive side, it was a good run the final four weeks, they played well. lets look forward to a good draft, sprinkle in some free agents (use any available cap room), hope ponder improves so we dont have to start over again, and have a successful 2013 season. This helped a bit to get some things off my chest so thanks for that, what a disappointing day, knew it was going to be awful tough, if not impossible, when it was announced Ponder wouldnt play. Also a great draft getting Harrison Smith and Kalil. Couple of good anchors for years to come.
