Ponder played in that game, if I recall correctly

Not the home game.

teddy hasn't broken 200 yds passing in two weeks; pretty sad. we won't go anywhere long term with those ponder numbers.

The defense held the Chargers to 90 yards on 28 carries for an average of 3.2 YPC.

I am 100% okay with these numbers!

I agree, in fact if he was wearing a Ponder Jersey you could not have known the difference. Short throws on third down, poor decisions and a horrible QB rating today. Come on Teddy I have high hopes for you

Got better every preseason game. vikings fans are just haters.

Yeah, folks (you) were hating on Patterson hard in this thread!

Glad we got the blowout win today. Sounds like they looked solid, eh?

That's because he is terrible. Not because I am a hater.

This entire exchange is giving me a good chuckle!

You could (if you were bored) watch my steady progression on my Patterson opinion throughout this forum. He's earned all his criticism. The coaches obviously agree with those of us who have had it, and its on the rest of you to prove her IS where he is supposed to be. As far as returning kicks, don't be shocked if he's not active in the coming weeks, he's not looking for the endzone, he's looking to avoid injury.

Did you notice we won both games?

That's definitely the difference. we would not have won these last two games with Ponder. Bridgewater protects the ball far better.

He had two really bad throws today, the INT and a throw in Wallace's direction in the endzone. He throws it farther, and Wallace brings it in.

"He throws it farther, and Wallace brings it in.

Wow, you could say that about almost any poor throw any QB makes. IF he would have thrown it longer, higher, softer, harder then....
My biggest concern about TB is his to often short throws to receivers that have little or no chance to gain a first down. He needs to look at the "yard to gain" and then hit receivers that are down the field, nearer or past the marker and could actually make a first down. IMO.

They won games very much like this with Ponder (and Bridgewater turned it over in the red zone today!).

Thus far in his second season Bridgewater's game actually resembles Ponder's at this same point in his career.

[mosscarter]

my point is this. i couldn't care less what our record is now. at what point this year has teddy looked like the franchise qb everyone proclaimed he was? not one; if anything he has regressed.

Yikes! hate to say it but Teddy was quite bad today.
