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.VikingLord wrote:At least people will stop yapping about this being a great defense. It's clearly not.
Tom Pelissero on TwitterSome people surely are going to reduce this to Ponder struggling. He can be a lot better, but protection, receivers not helping him here.
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.Purplemania wrote: 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.
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.me4get wrote: Simpson isn't trying very hard.
That doesn't explain Martin going off on them for over 100 yards in the 1st half.purplehaze wrote: I think our defense is pretty damn good.

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 .PurpleKoolaid wrote: Maybe being on the field all night? Ponder cant convert a 3rd down to save his live
Am I the only one seeing him go up high for the balls on deep routes? Am i blind?me4get wrote: Simpson isn't trying very hard.
And he hates Kansas CityPurplemania wrote: One of my buddies suggested that. I'm sure he could be had for a 3rd or 4th right now.
