the official **** the vikings thread

He's right-handed. It makes no sens to roll off to the left. I don't have a problem with him rolling out to the right because it's easier for him to throw from that position. It's fine to have him occasionally roll out to the other side, but they seem to be exclusively designing plays to have him do that, which doesn't make sense to me.

If we don't win this week is it OK to officially give up on this team this season?

Sparky · 09-19-2013, 09:54 AM

absolutely. I have. I'm looking for positive signs for next year. Still, almost certain we beat the cleveland browns. I don't know why they are playing their 3rd string over campbell. Also our first home game.

Pretty sure Campbell is out too.

I think we should win this, Ponder or no Ponder. I just can't see the Browns scoring any more than 10 points, and if we lose this one I'm definitely going to be looking at this as a bridge year.

Heres all the vikings plays during the second half. I still don't see ponder looking much more composed than the first. He did make some throws but it's only in relation to himself that ponder actually making some throws is noteworthy. He still runs out of the pocket way too fast on way too many plays.

From what I've seen of Greg Jennings in purple he's a lot more physical than i was aware. He can pull defenders and doesn't go down easy.

honestly ponder should be takin notes on a guy like alex smith.

watchin smith last night vs philly and seein him play this year, thats exactly what a young qb should be doin. anytime a play isnt there, smith doesnt force it and is comfortable runnin for 5 yards or hitting a checkdown. especially on 1st downs. i think more qbs should run the ball when nothin is there instead of forcing it. first down yardage is so important

Alright, so tomorrow the Vikings are going to win by 4 TDs.

AP's going to run for 150 yards and 2 TDs, Patterson's going to play most of this game and catch 2 TD passes, and the defense is going to hold these scrubs to under 10 points.
