I hope a bunch of Packers forgot to compliment Rodgers so he has a bad game.

Great start for Zimmer.

Boo Packers.

Maybe Ponder's problem is that he should wear gloves.

Nah, he's just a bad quarterback.

Really blatant holding by GB on Sherels there.

Was that a 3 and out by the vaunted Green Bay defense?

Against Christian Ponder. Might as well have nobody at QB.

So, does rain prevent refs from seeing holding, then?

# ¿ Oct 3, 2014 01:37

Doctor Candiru: Dec 23, 2004; Umbrella Monkey Sand

It's not a real game because the Vikings aren't a real team without a quarterback.

I had to explain to someone today that I hate the Bears, the Lions are okay because they've been bad for so long but gently caress them. The Vikings on the other hand? They haven't earned enough respect as a team to hate.

All we know is pain, sadness, and failure.

I dont understand how Christan Ponder has a job.

There is no one else out there that can hold a clipboard?

Nobody with enough experience with this offense. Remember that he's the third-stringer.

I strongly recommend watching Jennings when the opportunity presents itself. He is very good at getting/being wide open, and Ponder is very bad at noticing that.

Actually Wisconsin has excellent food and beer, up north and Door County are breathtaking in the falltime, and Milwaukee is getting all of the youngins from Chicago who can't afford rent there and is starting to become a really exciting and young city.

It's just that winter and summer loving sucks in this state.

Also Scott Walker and Ron Johnson.

That was holding

As it is on every play. This is really weird.

If I weren't used to it as a Vikings fan, I'd be upset.

# ¿ Oct 3, 2014 01:54

Why would they run there?

The really loving weird thing about Ponder is that every once in a while he'll throw a great-looking deep ball, even if it doesn't have a lot of velocity behind it, and he ends up so shocked by what he just did that won't attempt another one for the rest of the game.

Then he'll miss ten 5-yd passes in a row and then admit that he could've done a better job and won't wind up improving because this team is the definition of constant failure and disappointment and we're all totally used to it.

I'm not sure who's worse: incredibly pessimistic fans or incredibly smug fans.

Is it pessimism if it's always accurate?

I guess the St. Louis and Atlanta games were alright. We're just smart enough not to get our hopes up too much, though.

Well, I just taught my 2 1/2 year old daughter to say "Poonnnnderrrrrrrrr" and shake her fist at each incompletion, so this night isn't a total loss.

Surprising that you didn't have that taught to her as her first word.

That was a really good defensive play. They should do that every time.

Patterson is in the game?

Targeted at least once that I remember. Wouldn't you know it, the pass was off-target.

Ponder is a special, memorable kind of bad and we should treasure the time we have with him.

Even if Bridgewater regresses completely, he'll still be 100x better than Ponder is now.

It was going to Patterson, but Patterson slipped.

Also, McKinnon was wide open. Even Wright would've been a better choice if he'd continued on a comeback route.

Is there a more inaccurate passer in the NFL than Christian Ponder? I'm including practice squads in this question.

So ponder is basically Alex Smith with the dial turned down to zero, right?

Geno Smith with way less accuracy and a little better running ability.

With how the defense played in the second quarter, they would be winning if not for #7.
