Sullivan snapped at his ankles. Unacceptable.

Agree 100%. Check the clock, watch for the snap.

End of 3. #Bucs C Jeremy Zuttah begging officials to flag #Vikings for playing through whistle. This is going to be an interesting 15 mins.

Did you watch last season? With McNabb? Pretty much the same.

They have no mid-range passing game. Ponder won't pull the trigger even when WR's are wide open. It's either a heave down the field or a check-down. That's it.

Has Ponder ever audibled to a throw? In 2 years I think every time he says kill kill kill its a hand off....and I bet the snap fumble is on Ponder...just because hes bad luck

I see. So the terrible snap was the QB's fault? Sullivan's job is to snap the ball correctly. He snapped a ground ball!

Should do the Falcons route and trade hella picks for a Julio Jones-caliber WR.
Can't quit on him - he's their best option for the rest of the season. Beyond that, I sure hope they quit on him.

Oh I forgot, block the Dline as well.

All this has to be done by Ponder, or else.
Now paying attention to the snap is too much to ask of him. Throwing to open receivers is too much to ask. Maybe next year we can expect this stuff of him huh?
