To Vikes fans.. Matt Flynn is available, for the right price

PS- I sat next to two very classy Vikes fans, who had been to triple digit games consecutively (now that is loyalty and patience). As long as it’s not at the Hawks’ expense, I wish you guys and AP the best this season and on!

everyones pissed about the vikings not cause what we expected this year before the year started, its the fact that if we could throw for 120 yds we could have won 2 more games! thats not a lot to ask of your QB. thats not expecting your QB to be Tom Brady or Aaron rodgers. pull your head out of your ass if you think otherwise.

People forgwt that the Vikings had their worst season in franchise history last year and that Ponder is essentially a rookie this year, having had no offseason or contact with coaches prior to the start of last year. The team has talent, lots of young talent, but they lack a legit number one WR and the ones they have (with the exception of Harvin) don’t get seperation, forcing Ponder to have to thread the needle with every pass. Vikings fans seem to expect him to play like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning ir Aaron Rogers, but the reality is yhis is his first full season, and those other QB’s have a lot more experience and a lot more talent surrounding them. He needs more time before anyone will know for aure how good or bad he is.

Big ups to Peterson and Lynch for reminding me just how much I love watching football.

Vikes passing woes are getting very hard to watch. Can’t imagine what it would look like without the threat of Peterson running. Ponder will be locked in as starter for a few more years unless hurt. Last 7 games Musgrave will be on hot seat to get short passing game back or he will be replaced. Re-sign Percy, Simpson. Dump the chaff. Burn the #1 pick on the best available WR. Sign a WR in Free Agency, and for the love of our God, suit up and give Jarius Wright some game experience. Like it’s going to hurt? Draft the biggest DT available in the 2nd, or sign one. Rebuilding takes time. Love those Packer trolls…

McNabb wasn’t his best with the Vikings, honestly he was just average yet at the end of the day people were using that as an excuse to sweep Musgrave’s play calling under the rug. One QB who is playing basically game manager, isn’t the reason you go 21 up first half, then lose. Deciding you’re going to go pass happy with a lead, when you got the lead by running the ball..has you lose like that.

In short there’s nothing to hide Musgrave’s poor play calling now.

The difference lately is we lost a starting corner, Ponder lost his confidence, and teams figured out you just need to take out Harvin and we can’t throw. On defense the Vikings don’t have lane discipline and can’t get off blocks up front. Get ahead of MN and its game over. This team clearly needs another stud corner, 2 better LBers, and an NFL QB!

I’m not saying he has no chance to be successful, but right now Christian Ponder is the worst starting quarterback in the NFL. He has a long way to go.

It’s just going to get worse Minnesota. Vikings won’t win another game this season, Packers won’t lose another game this season while going on to win another Super Bowl. And on Tuesday, all the elected officials who voted for the Stadium will be voted out & that Stadium bill will be repealed in the next Legislative Session forcing the team to move to Los Angeles.

You hit the nail right on the head. The best play action in football (AP) and your coordinator can’t get receivers open all over the field. When Ponder finally does get a man open he panics. It’s all on Musgrave!

glenne81 — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 03:30:19 +0000

I blame the coaching. You cant have a run game that good and a pass game that bad and not have it obvious to somebody (Besides the fans). Its because they cant think through.

The Vikes are moving up the draft board…..separating ourselves from the pack…..playing Chi, GB twice (four losses) and the Cryons of Detroit…..Houston…..all I look forward to is the draft. Someday the Wilfs will understand you need a coaching staff that knows what they’re doing.If they don’t get into the Sean Payton sweepstakes at seasons end I know they really aren’t serious about titles!

The only guy who can shut AP down is Musgrave, that man is a creature!

Unfortunately I think Ponder may have had the best game of his life on a sleeping 49ers team and it wasn’t exactly Favre-esque. AP tore it up though.

Orhawk….

Rice didn’t do anything today to make me second guess the vikings not signing him. So what, he had a couple of catches and a touchdown because he was wide open. It we a very average performance. Not worth the money he was paid.

Are you going to tell me Tavares Jackson was a good sign too?

What I don’t get is that last year, fans of the Vikes were so ready to jettison Donovan McNabb for Ponder and he has YET to play as NEAR as good as McNabb did.

I’m a Packer fan but I love tough Norris division matchups. Seeing the Vikings stick with Ponder as he is completely losing games on his own is an embarrassment and insult to the rest of the division. I’m not sure he can even be a backup in the NFL. Yes, it’s only his second year but he looks far worse than five rookies this year and all QBs drafted last year. Trade for Matt Flynn in offseason.

The Vikes would not only be better of with Joe Webb at QB. they would be better off with Jack Webb at QB (and hes been dead 25 years!).

How bout you Viking fans just admit that your team isn’t very good? Dont’ take it out on Ponder, get him a legit #1 wr. Joe Webb has a noodle arm, he’s a running back.

2 weeks in a row the Vikings are the only team in the NFC North to lose. 2 weeks in a row that go perfectly.

Bring in Mcloud Bethel-Thompson. Let’s see what talent he has… Nothing can be worse than Ponder at this point.
