They don't want to admit they blew a high 1st on Ponder. Maybe they think he will still get it because at times he's been able to succeed.

If I were Musgrave, I'd put both Patterson and Webb out there wide with Jennings now. I'd spread the defense out as wide as possible. Then I'd tell Ponder to throw it and let his big targets go up and get it.
You are making too much sense. I would even put AD in the backfield and hand it to him a few times. This bunched up formation is NOT working. Fraizer downt know what the word adjustment means.

Yeah... everything I've seen looks like a Ponder problem to me. Can't really judge anyone else with such poor QB play.

In case people here were unaware, 1500espn is debuting their new radio show "Viking's Vent Line" 1 minute after the game ends. Could be pretty entertaining. Judd & Dubay.

Maybe run Peterson to the OUTSIDE, for a change? Just a thought.

Why even bother with kickoffs indoors anymore? Just skip the stupid formality of a kickoff and let the offense start on the 20.

Peterson can't do anything because Ponder can't do anything right.
