Nice throw

[dead_poet]

No balls, no babies. We really do not know if he would have thrown an interception do we? It is the point of trying. We already have a proven track record of the check down.

I want him to take more shots too, but I'd rather get 3 points than throw a pick in that situation. We'll have to wait for film guru Jim to see whether or not his read(s) was/were kind of covered or "it would've been stupid to throw that ball even if you were Tom Brady or Peyton Manning" covered. Just don't know.

Carlson is faster then Rudolph!

So is your grandma. Kyle is known for his hands. He is super super slow. Didnt he run one of the slowest in the combine?

[Lash Man]

OK Musgrave throw the damn ball in the endzone now on first down before we have to check down inside the redzone !

[UKViking]

Carlson is faster then Rudolph!

Who's Carlson?

[PurpleKoolaid]

How can you be that far off? or was that a throw away?

[dead_poet]

Hes too afraid to go for TDs. He doesnt trust his OC, who doesnt trust his QB, who has happy feet.

You really think Frazier told Musgrave to call a play that had Ponder throw a check-down on third-and-goal? Seems to me Musgrave has been giving Ponder a lot of faith today throwing more passes past the LOS than I've seen most of the year (likely no Harvin has something to do with that).

Ponder: 10-11 for 99 yards in the third quarter.

[Lash Man]

WE have to get at least three here

Honestly, what are the chances he throws a pick on a given play? Can't be a very high percentage. How about a fade to Simpson? The risk of going for 7 is is outweighed by the potential reward. 3 points over and over gets you killed.

[PurpleKoolaid]

Right now Fraizer is saying, just dont screw up the fg!

[dead_poet]

Make it 23-of-29 passing, 201 yards, 107.0 rating for Christian Ponder through three. It's almost like they shouldn't give up on him.

After this FG it'll be a 9 point lead.
