I'd rather watch the packers, cause they actually have a chance of winning.

Damn, you need to take a look at this year's standings.

If the vikings would cut out all the turnovers they could create some separation score wise.

What the hell happened to our run D? We've been getting shredded by small, quick backs the last couple weeks. Only saving grace for me is that I have Martin in fantasy.

It just showed up...Allen did anyway. Lol

I will add another problem imo is ponder is a fluke. Makes very poor decisions

Forward To Death · 10-26-2012, 04:51 AM

Ponder had the highest red zone efficiency from last year until 3 weeks ago. Just saying.

Anyways, the Vikings will need to split with Chicago and Green Bay to win 9 or more IMO, but the run d is nonexistent right now, and Ponder is just so conservative, he dumps the ball off into the flats or way short to Percy, which is fine if he has games like the first 4 weeks, but that's not going to happen if the D can predict what he's going to do. I'll give him this year and probably next year, because frankly he has the ability to be awesome, he's extremely athletic and he has a strong and is generally accurate.

To be honest, the short throws are the product of the system he's in. The Vikings have been running a West Coast passing scheme since Childress was HC. Granted, Favre had a ton of success in the WCO in 09-10, but it is an outdated system, even if it is a compliment to the Vikings' style of play.

Oh yeah, and the Vikings won't win again without Ponder having a 2-3 TD/no INT/70% completions type game. He is crucial to this team on both sides of the ball. He is so good at sustaining drives and keeping the defense rested when he's on.

Dont get to excited cause Romo's put up monster stats as a cowboy. Especially when he was first starting as our QB. Years later were still waiting for him to become a complete QB.
