Vikings @ Packers Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 5

Back to chilliball. Throw short of the first down marker. That's childress UGH

Nope Ponder crap.

[mmvikes]

Why don't receivers run past the 1st down marker on 3rd down?

The line can't hold up long enough for a 4 or 5 yd route

[TeddyB]

One thing I honestly can't get, all prior hate aside.

From 6 passes we can all agree Ponder is not good, like 0 hope. How did he get drafted so high? I just don't get it , what was ever seen?

[Mothman]

It looked nice coming out of his hand, but ended up about as accurate as a North Korean test missle.

I don't think Wright was supposed to turn that route so far inside.

[PurpleKoolaid]

another hold on the punt and no call.

Lol at GB? I doubt they call a single penalty. The Packers can tackle while the ball is in the air and I doubt we see a flag.

[Laserman]

i think Jarius was supposed to get outside on that route, but he was pushed off his route. (well past 5 yds btw)

Nope, that's Ponders typical long pass, We've seen it many many times

[fiestavike]

I don't think Wright was supposed to turn that route so far inside.

Possible Ponder threw it thinking he would get a contact or holding call too.

They dont trust their QB?

That short drag route should be designed with a pump fake in mind to draw those middle defenders with it while the real target drops in behind those defenders. Problem with Ponder is, he just sees one receiver on any given play. The dude has no ability to read multiple options.

[PurpleKoolaid]

my god, barr wasn't even close wth

[VikingLord]

I don't think Wright was supposed to turn that route so far inside.

But can't Ponder adjust to what the WR is doing? Even if Wright ran it too far inside, if Ponder thinks he's open he's got to go to where the receiver is, not to where he should have gone.

[VikingsKid28]

sigh

[me4get]

no holding call again.

[fiestavike]

holding?

Refs still owe them for the replacement ref fiasco.
