Packers @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 8

Yay, TD. 3 more years of Ponder now ...

We really aren't. Keep your hopes appropriately low.

This is probably obvious to you locals who see the Vikings all the time, but to out of towner me, what I think I'm seeing is that Ponder just doesn't see the field well. Not the same as not being able to read a defense, I just don't think he is able to process what he is seeing very quickly, so misses the down field play and goes for short dinks, because that's all he sees. I could be wrong, but he just seems to get antsy very quickly back there.

Don't worry. He cant do that either...

Gutsy? That was the most gutless cowardly balless call he could make.

Definitely a play for a FG play call right there if I ever saw one. Fire this clown #### o coordinator.

It's definitely interesting cause Musgrave don't trust Ponder at all and it's pretty easy to see why! If this was Ponder's rookie year it'd be kind of forgivable but damn...

Kluwe on fire as usual

“@ChrisWarcraft: "You don't really expect this of Jordy Nelson... You don't think of him in those terms..." JUST SAY HE'S A WHITE RECEIVER AL.”

“@ChrisWarcraft: Touchgoal for the Minnesota Petersons!”

“@ChrisWarcraft: Also, whenever Minnesota wears all purple, every touchdown celebration is required to be kicking through a wall and screaming "OH YEAH!"”

Why? Ponder always keeps us just close enough to keep his job. Once again, as so many times before, we are in the game DESPITE Ponder.

[HornedMessiah]

Where would we be without AD?

Maybe a competitive team with a legitimate franchise QB...?

It's weird to think...but the freak that is Adrian Peterson could also be looked at as something that's held the Vikings organization back. His freakish abilities have enchanted the coaches and decision makers, and also helped them keep their jobs for maybe longer than they should have. Without AD, this team might have left behind the Childress era long ago (I consider Frazier an extension of the Childress era).

I love Peterson. He might be the greatest single Vikings player ever. But the Vikings sans Peterson doesn't automatically mean they can't be successful

[Texas Vike]

YES IT WAS. he impeded the receiver by using both hands.

He did not impede Jennings from doing anything. He breathed on him.

We're even now; they had that BS call on Rhodes now we got one that resulted in 7. We're so fortunate to be in this game.

He get's tunnel vision when under pressure, which is all the time.

Right on target

[PurpleMustReign]

That Coach commercial was funny.

Green Bay gets the ball to start. Wonder how long the defense will be on the field this half?
