The Vikes have 1 great run by AD and penalties and other stupid plays by the Lions. Preseason wasn't a fluke, the Vikings are this bad.

One of the sloppiest performances, from both teams, that I can remember watching in years. Both teams look dreadful to me.

Lions not going for 2 at home to tie it up?

Man, if Ponder and his receivers can't start creating more plays downfield in the passing game this is going to be a looong year. Lions are just crashing the LOS on every possible running play. AD has nowhere to go. If Ponder can't counter that, expect every opponent to do the same.

Hey LOOK! Ponder did something QB like. He kneeled at halftime.

Well, I'd rather have Ponder be terrible and prove without a shadow of a doubt he's not the guy if that's the way it's going to go.

No surprise Ponders name is the one being thrown around for the reason we might lose this game, and the ponder defenders wonder why this board is always talking about Ponder! hilarious

Before that Ponder interception, the Lions were giving penalty after penalty. They were gonna let us waltz in!

We should be up by at least 11!

Ponder: 6/9 for 103 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT

Some would say he's being "efficient". :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ponder is done. This team can NOT move forward with him at QB for another season. F him. I have zero faith in him from here on out. :nono:
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.
