Buccaneers @ Vikings Gameday Discussion Thread -- Week 8

I think Simposon is having a decent season for limited plays. Ponder needs a OC and a o-line

Simpson isn't trying very hard.

Get Dwayne Bowe.

At least people will stop yapping about this being a great defense. It's clearly not.

I think our defense is pretty damn good. When your defense is on the field for 34 minutes compared to their defense on the field for 18 minutes I blame our offense. Especially are pathetic excuse for a QB.

Some people surely are going to reduce this to Ponder struggling. He can be a lot better, but protection, receivers not helping him here.

Dont' know if it'll make Ponder a good QB or not, but it should help our offense dearly to have better passing options. I think we need to get another young QB in here in case Ponder continues the sucking theme next year.

I'd say you can count on them doing that. By the end of the year Ponder's goose is going to be cooked. It won't even be a question. He can't throw his rinky-dink stuff anymore because defenses aren't going to let him.

Knowing the Vikings we will probably draft James Franklin in the 6th round

It gets pretty frustrating to sprint out there a bunch of times and not have a decent ball thrown at you except for once or twice a game. He's hustling... he's not dogging it. Remember the block on the AD touchdown.

That doesn't explain Martin going off on them for over 100 yards in the 1st half.

Maybe being on the field all night? Ponder cant convert a 3rd down to save his live

That doesnt wash they wouldnt be on the field all night if they could three and out the Bucs , sorry that doesn't wash . The defense is just as responsible for this loss as CP .

[OJVIKE]

as long as ponder is qb and frazair is head coach we are done.!!

Am I the only one seeing him go up high for the balls on deep routes? Am i blind?

[PurpleKoolaid]

thats the ONLY pass Ponder has ever been able to throw

[VikingLord]

Rinky-dink??? At this point in the game?

Nice!

[Lash Man]

I almost hate to see Harvin and AD out there .

[Eliot]

One of my buddies suggested that. I'm sure he could be had for a 3rd or 4th right now.

And he hates Kansas City
