Vikings @ Packers Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 5

This is a shameful performance by the Vikings.

Not sure what you mean Jim. Nobody "deserves" this except Rick Spielman for keeping Ponder on the roster.

So it's Spielmans fault for holding onto him as a 3rd string QB????.....he's a 3rd string QB, they are ALL BAD. Hence why they are 3rd string

Man for once I'm glad to be at work. This may be the first game in years I won't watch the replay.

I chose this over clean 3 ft North Shore waves.

[John_Viveiros]

Ponder should be released tonight after the game.

My first thought was that you are being crazy. The second thought was, if this is what we get when Ponder plays, why have him on the roster. Could MBT be worse?? Might as well get to see him in game situations.

[Purple Reign]

What's the worst Vikings loss? I think we're getting close.

I think it was a 51-7 loss to SF in 84.

[Laserman]

This is a shameful performance by the Vikings.

After the first INT I think they realized " oh it's this again" and then just quit

[TeddyB]

See how well we're moving, is it that hard? Where has this been..

Uh, yeah.

Doesn't matter if they are all bad. This PARTICULAR one is a known quantity. He's not going to develop into anything. Should have shipped him and at least tried to find someone who might have a future with the Vikings.

If we had cut ponder we'd be seeing harnish right now and still paying ponder.

Regardless though, people can talk about the protection or the receivers or the defense all you want. Ponder is the xfactor in this game. You can't compete with a performance like this out of your QB.

[halfgiz]

7 penalties for 76 yards....that hurts right there. Whoops add another 8 for 86 yards

[mossbutt]

Easier for me here in Oregon with the waves being small and blown out and cold and anyways.

[John_Viveiros]

Someone said they could call holding on every play. But only on the Vikings. Even when the guy Asiata is blocking slips on wet turf.

[Purple Reign]

Hey - Teddy has an earpiece in.

Typically 3rd stringers are developmental players, Ponder is developmentally challenged.

[VikingLord]

Delay of game?

Even Bridgewater can't believe what he's seeing...
