Vikings @ Lions Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 1

[Vike Fan 4 Life]

Does Ponder close his eyes when he throws the football?

I know I do

[Hunter Morrow]

Defense did show up. It just had to be on the field for 40 minutes.

[vikeinmontana]

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

truth. hard to knock the d when they've been on the field 90% of the game!

[Crax]

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.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear the lions were killing us mostly up the middle. I think Kevin Williams would have made a big difference

[soflavike]

That was a blow to the head on the QB at the end of that tackle. No flag.

[King James]

Vikings' linebackers have been invisible today.

You can expect that when you have two LBs who should've even be starting on the field

[Just Me]

4th down. Going for it <Sigh>

[PurpleKoolaid]

No one trusts Ponder, not even Ponder.

[Orion]

Defense did show up. It just had to be on the field for 40 minutes.

Really? They let the Lions drive down to the redzone nearly every drive since the opening drive. But I guess the pre game warmups tired them out too.

[VikingLord]

Now there was when you use those chicken legs Ponder and get the friggin first down...

[allday1991]

Who thinks Ponder makes this fourth down?

[Captain]

Everytime he stays in the pocket, he has no time to throw so really its a catch-22

[PsyDanny]

Does Ponder close his eyes when he throws the football?

Doesn't everyone close their eyes to make their wishes come true?

[Hunter Morrow]

Absolutely GUTTING game. We should have won this if we had a better than lowest third in the league quarterback.
