Everyone wants to replace Ponder but who is going to play defense for us??

[PurpleKoolaid]

I don't think most team, if they had Tebow as their starter, would want Ponder as a backup.

Vikings' linebackers have been invisible today.

Even the dline hasn't been to great, nothing looks good. Except that A.p run, when was that again?

OK, I apologize for any nice thing I ever said about Ponder as a quarterback. He's lost.

[King James]

Look at Marvin Mitchell getting thrown around.

[vikeinmontana]

If our defense didn't have to play 80% of the snaps they might be less fatigued. Just sayin....

I smell a safety or a pick 6

He's lost, blind, scared and has a noodle-arm, but he's our starter no matter what.

Cassel or MBT? Pick up someone everyone else dropped? We really have no say. But I think a lot are finally seeing Ponder isn't the guy.

Game Summary:

-) Defense decides not to show up at all

-) Offense still looks like it did last year

-) Reggie Bush = the difference in this game.

You don't get it. Any defense who is on the field 85% of the time WILL NOT play great. There is a direct correlation between offensive position time and defensive productivity.

Or if they could have made a stop, they wouldn't have had to be out there that long...just sayin
