Far too soon to move on.

3rd and 10 deep in your own territory, early in the game? Darn right I think it was a good playcall. How many times has Harvin fumbled? How often has he ever been stuffed? It was a good call. Just because Seattle made a great play, it somehow becomes an indicator of lack of confidence in Ponder? Thing is... maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But would you have been saying the same thing if Harvin had made the first down? I very much doubt it.

Yep, same story.

RT jumped offsides then also held on that TD play. Good job refs.

Sidney Rice has more passing yards than Ponder.

Adrian Peterson is going to need 350 yards rushing for the Vikings to stay in this game.

Actually, I would have. You have confidence in your QB you pass on 3rd-and-10, especially deep in your own territory.

You know, guys... without completely giving up on Ponder, a good benching can do wonders for a guy' s mental focus and might ignite a fire in his belly. Right now, he looks like Bambi out there.

That's what Tarvaris was supposed to be. I want a no-doubter stud. Like RGIII or Luck. That's what this franchise needs.

Of course, I'll take a gem in the later rounds if he works out for us. Haha. :D
