Wow. A TD pass to AD - how did Musgrave think of it?
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

Good job by Patterson to tell his coach he's staying in. Frazier is the only coach I know he keeps his best players on the sidelines.

They opened the O up and good things happened.....now lets see if a rested D can get inspirationPurplemania wrote:My fellow Vikings fan, we entered an alternate universe during that drive. 3 things that usually never happens, happens all in the same drive.
A long pass.
A screen pass.
A pass to Peterson.
This universe, let me stay.

Next offseason, if I were the Wilfs, I'd tell Frazier he had a choice: the OC goes...or you go!

I didn't realize that Ponder could actually OVERthrow a long pass route.

Sadly the LB spot is as bad as most of us fans knew it would be. Heck, does Bishop know the MIKE position at all? Anyone should be better then Erin.S197 wrote:Henderson clueless.

Pettigrew got a pretty good spot, but I'm not sure it matters much with our DLine playing like they are.

Come on defense dig deep make a play one more time watch the deep ball to Megatron on third and short .
LETS GO VIKINGS !

He did a nice job to get that pass to AD too. Pressure forced an unconventional, quick throw but he got it to AD and Peterson did the rest.PacificNorseWest wrote:Will give you credit there Ponder. Get to AP and let him work.
This remains a winnable game for the Vikes. Hopefully, they can get the job done.

I don't think that's Frazier's choice to make, nor should it be. Spielman is in charge of that nonsense now.Spiderbeavis wrote:Next offseason, if I were the Wilfs, I'd tell Frazier he had a choice: the OC goes...or you go!

huge down coming up, come on defense.
