If I were a Vikings fan, I’d be so pissed right now. If you have arms, you play in that game. Period. Shoot the horse up with pain killers and get him on the track. Favre played 15 years straight with worse than a sore elbow. I’m embarrassed for him. This proves yet again that God hates the Vikings.

We can now lay to rest all the trash talk, Clay Mathews and the Packers did what they said they were gonna do, they held the otherwise unstoppable Adrian Peterson to just 99 yards and dominated the game from the start…

The Vikings are a terrible team with a great running back. They should release him so he has a fighting chance at winning a super bowl.

Joe Webb is bad at football

Steelers fan here. Charlie Batch should be retained by the Steeelrs seeing how terrible the state of backup QBing is in the NFL today.

This is why I didn’t want the Vikings to make the playoffs. I knew they’d get embarrassed. Should have gone for the rushing record. Much more memorable than getting trounced by the packers in the playoffs.

Why is Webb not a receiver yet? Can they stop wasting his time at quarterback and put him somewhere he could contribute? WR?

Also, why does pft out stories way the hell out of order?

So glad all the Ponder haters got what they wanted tonight! Get it through your head, Webb was drafted to be a WR! The experiment is over.

Huge Vikings fan here. Can we all put to rest the idea that that Webb is a quarterback!!!

April 2005:

And with the 7th pick in the draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Troy Williamson, wide receiver, South Carolina.

With the 24th pick, the Green Bay Packers select Aaron Rodgers, quarterback, Cal.

Just think what you could have had vikings fans!

Funny, Even Collingsworth mentions that the Packers have had so many first downs this season due to penalties. Funny right?

After watching the first half, how is this clown an NFL QB? It’s a shame that he’s getting a paycheck.

So viking fans have been clamoring all season to have Webb start over Ponder because they supposedly think Webb is this Tebow-like god at QB?!?!

And I thought The Packer fanbase was the idiot fanbase of the NFL. Now that new title belongs to the Viking fanbase.

Webb is no quarterback. Finally – a chance to shut up these supposed Viking fans who have been scraming for him to play all season. Maybe even the coaches will see that he is no QB and they can move on to better things in 2013.

Lets trade Carson to the Vikes for a couple 2nd rounders. I mean, these Vikes qb’s are not even in Dilfers league. Pretty sad.

Packers-vikes rivalry is no bigger than Packers-Detroit.

Packers-Bears is by far and away the biggest rivalry in the division and the nfl.

webb is a solid back up quarterback but ponder should play through the injury because this is a very big game

This is actually looking like it’ll be good. Webb ran a 4.43 at the combine.

Could be very interesting. Obviously the Packers haven’t prepared for Webb. Webb is a lot more mobile.

2 things the Packers have trouble with are teams with good RB’s and running QB’s and the deep ball. What does Joe Webb do well, run and throw deep. Vikes are going to win. Rodgers is awesome by the way and any fan that doesn’t acknowledge that doesn’t know football.

I hammer Peterson to open up the passing game. Minnesota is going to have to throw to win this game. They can’t play a one denominational game or they are toast.

I wanted Webb to start all season until tonight. You just can’t feel comfortable with a guy who hasn’t thrown a pass all season. You never know what will happen as I remember numerous people on this site vehemently claiming AP’s career was over. I think he rebounded decently. Not expecting much but you never know.

Am I the only Packer fan who sees this as a horrible turn of events? Ponder singlehandedly lost the first meeting for the Vikes as well as numerous other games this season. Webb is a better passer and a better runner than Ponder. Ponder shouldn’t even be in the NFL. I’m pumped to watch the Pack win but its gonna be a close one!

Love all you tough guys commenting a blog calling Ponder soft. As if you know how hurt he is, and how well he can throw with the injury, and you could better. There’s a reason you are on a couch and Ponders is in the NFL!

If Webb was the better option, then why hasnt he started more than 2 games in the last 3 seasons? Vikings fans are already drunk if they think this benefits their team. Webb cant throw the ball!! Go ahead and run the option 100 times. If a team could be successful only doing that play, it would have been done before.
