Bears @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 14

what? THEY NEVER GET SEPARATION, THATS BLASPHEMY!!

ITS NEVER PONDERS FAULT. HE DOESNT HAVE RECEIVERS.

[Texas Vike]

Combine that with bad footwork and poo-for-brains and you get a Christian Ponder.

It's a lack of judgement and good sense.

Looked to me like he saw that Wright was going to be open and had no awareness of just how unprepared his feet were to make an appropriate throw.

Ponder sucks. Aroma sucks. Replace both.

He doesn't have receivers, but that doesn't excuse bad decisions and bad mechanics.

[yezzir]

He has arm strength, just not feet apparently.

Well, Avg. QBs with good arm strength can compromise when they know they dont have their feet set, a little extra "oomph". He doesnt have that mental ability so far.

Anatomy of a Christian Ponder interception:

*feels pressure in pocket*

*gets happy feet and dances around aimlessly*

"Screw it."

*Chucks ball as far as possible off back foot*

*Intercepted*

Sarcasm buddy.

Its always the WRs fault. Troy told us this. Our WR have no talent and cant get seperation. Has nothing to do with Ponder being a worse QB then I can ever remember us having, and an equally bad OC. Wright wasnt open.

Wright had steps on him. A good throw and that may be a TD.

He's not quite as bad as Spergon Wynn...

I was being sarcastic. A blind Manning could have made that throw. Its just everyone on this board (well alot of them) think its our WRs fault. That they cant get seperation. No, we dont have a Marshall or Megatron. But we have receivers that are open all the time.

[Raptorman]

Watch, the Bears will score on the first possession of the second half and Musgrave will try to have Ponder throw the ball instead of feeding it to Peterson.

[S197]

Yeah, that part is frustrating.
What happened there?
Was it a bad pocket? Ponder was moving all around.
Or maybe Ponder just didn't see it right away?
If Ponder is able to see that sooner then the floater would probably work.

Kalil got bull rushed but recovered. In other words, some pressure but not enough to excuse that throw.

Too true...

[yezzir]

That was an incredible play by Winfield.

[PurpleKoolaid]

Winfield is as good as Ponder is bad....too bad the rest of the D isnt, esp. our LBs.
