Vikings @ Chiefs Fourth Quarter Thread

Wow, this sure looks like a battle of 0-3 teams doesn't it?
If you have Ryan Succop on your team, you're probably thrilled. He hit his fourth and fifth field goals of the game, the first of which from 54 yards, as he has accounted for all 15 of Kansas City's points today. Ryan Longwell added a field goal on the Vikings' first drive of the half, bringing the grand total of second half points for Minnesota this season to...nine. Besides that opening drive, the Vikings offense continued their usual second half disappearing act.
Follow along as we see if the Vikings can pull their heads out of their collective asses and come back for a much-needed victory.

Someone put the broadside of a barn out there
so McNabb could hit it
Why didn't McNabb run for that?
Oh yeah, because he sucks.

I think I see 3 others before you
that makes you 4th
cause its always a good decsion
to throw across your body while in a full sprint to a covered man when you could have run for the key first down 5 yards away.
first-worst-first?
Another 3 and out and IT'S ON MCNABB AGAIN

And this offense
Still hasn’t converted a third down in the second half since the 10-minute mark of the third quarter of the season opener.

Sorry, the judges came back and said your answer is incorrect. You can't blame the coaches for a QB that consistently makes bad passes.

yeah, he sucks right now
But if he does suck so bad, then that makes it worse that Ad never seems to get the ball when it matters most.
This coaching staff calls awful games. It’s almost unwatchable.

I didn't really expect us...
to be worse than last year :( I seriously thought that was the bottom. Guess not.
The problem, obvious to all, is the offense. No one believes in McNabb other than Frazier and McNabb.
He has to go (McNabb) if the Vikings lose this game. At 0-4 this team needs a chance to improve at all positions. And McNabb isn’t going to get better. Ponder can. Webb can, Arcenauex can. Booker is better than Toby. Jaramca should play until he’s injured.
My two cents for now.

Let's say we get 1st pick...
Do we:
A) pick Luck and see which of Ponder/Luck/Webb sticks as QBOTF
B) pick Luck and trade Ponder
C) keep Ponder and go for OLineman or other big hole
?
Man you drink the purple drink
Luck from all the reports LUCK is way better than ponder
If we have a shot at Luck, we take him
Ponder will be a good backup, like Jimmy Clausen

How the world will end in 2012: George of the Roses builds a Machine that Pommels everyone with La Violencia during Whiteouts.
New rookie wagescale has reduced the amount of money Ponder is getting
compared to first round QB picks in the past.
Unbelievable!
How come every team we play against throws underneath but we can’t do the same…and then over the top to Bowe! Game OVER!
Team appears to be cursed
long pass to Harvin and is foot lands inches out of bounds instead of inbounds. Clearly this is not the Vikes’ year—-what is the point of leaving McNabb in there? If he doesn’t want to be a backup, cut him and bring in a journeyman veteran to backup Ponder.
Hilarious
All I can do is laugh now.
Bring on Luck or a boatload of traded picks. Happy either way.
You know you suck when....

Lucks stats yesterday were sick.
23 of 27, 3 TDs, 0 INT’s
11 TD, 1 INT so far this year, and he completing well over 70% of his passes.
Nice tackle, Sanford
Our secondary has been pathetic for far too long. But it doesn’t matter anyway.
We’re back to Les Steckel level football.
"Humor is reason gone mad." Marx (Groucho, for the reason-gone-mad impaired)
What's really pathetic
is that the Vikings were good for a half against 3 good teams, but have stunk for a whole game against an 0-3 opponent. It’s as if the Vikes are getting worse from week to week, and that is a big problem for Frazier.
FIRE FRAZIER
CUT SULLIVAN, CUT COOK, CUT CHARLIE JOHNSON, CUT BERRIAN, CUT TYRELL JOHNSON…..
Luck's going to need a backup...

This is why this year draft was a waste
why reach for 3rd round QB. in the 1st round
Totally disagree
The Vikings were interested in Locker or Ponder this year. Ponder would have either gone to the Redskins or by the 25th pick. If the player is there who you want – you pull the trigger. I like Ponder and am happy that the Vikings selected him 12th overall.
I love how exciting Gus Johnson is making a 12-point game between two shitty teams sound.

I warned you....again.
Ive said it since training camp and i kept getting rebuffed. McNabb is team cancer. He makes teams worse. Signing him was a every nail in the coffin of this season.
Im just glad that people are finally waking up and have stopped defending him.
I said it somewhere else…..that the Vikes may not win a game until he is benched. This was his chance to prove me wrong and BLAM! NADA.
Can I get a Ponder now?

Don't have to trade him

by Marty'sBetter on Oct 2, 2011 2:59 PM CDT up reply actions
Do the right thing Frazier...
I called for you last season as I was certain you were the right guy to bring success to the Vikings. Bringing in McNabb was the RIGHT thing to do following the Lockout. Now you need to SIT him and play Ponder so he can get ready for next season. We can even save ourselves a 6th round pick in 2013 by not playing McNabb.
Wasted a #12 pick on a back-up QB to Andrew Luck
Reduce turnovers, reduce personal fouls, shoot better, win.
It wasn't a wasted pick
If they actually got Luck, Ponder could be traded to a team that loses out on a qB in the 2012 draft. Probably have to settle for a late first or second round pick, but still not a total waste.
Why would somebody want Ponder already?
We wouldn’t get a late 1st rounder at all. Best we’d probably get is a 2nd, if we’re lucky. Everyone else thought he was a stretch in the 1st round. They should just play him now to see how good or bad he is. Maybe we pull a Carolina and draft a QB high two years in a row. Newton’s working out well for them.
by REVENGE4KLUWE on Oct 2, 2011 3:05 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't see why we can't keep both
See which is better, play him. Eventually we can try to trade the other one, but it doesn’t have to be immediately. Why put all your eggs in one basket?
by REVENGE4KLUWE on Oct 2, 2011 3:13 PM CDT up reply actions
I disagree...
The Redskins are playing well enough to consider themselves in with a chance to have a 1st round pick in 2012 in the 20s and were heavily rumoured to be be where Ponder would end up had the Vikings not selected him. The rated him above Gabbert and just behind Locker. I think that they would pull the trigger right now on a deal for Ponder.
Saying that, I like Ponder as did many people on here before the draft – there were quite a few comments stating that they hoped the Vikings would take Ponder late in round 1 or in round 2 as he was going to be better than ANY of the other QBs available. So what if we reached for him… if he succeeds then no one will care where he was drafted.
This is why the Vikings need to play Ponder now! That way if they find themselves in a position to draft Luck in next years draft – assuming he doesn’t fall from grace – then they will know what they have in Ponder. If he plays terribly, then we select Luck and see what we can get for Ponder. If he plays outstanding football – then we won’t be in a position to select Luck anyway. Even if we continue to lose, but Ponder shows great potential, then the Vikings can select Luck, and probably command a quality player or draft choice in trade for Ponder.
We won’t know unless we play him and bench McNabb…
Why do they even show that playoff stat?
We all know this team has no chance at going to the playoffs. They are an embarrassment.

At this point, there are no playoffs for the Vikings.
Change is required.
Start at QB, and take the shackles off the offense.
Berrian to the bench, becuase effort beats talent 9/10 times.
Berrian doesn’t show the effort.
Jamarca starts and plays every down he’s not hurt.
Tyrell isn’t even a back up Safety.
Move Gerhardt to FB, he’s not a RB.
Move Booker to 2nd string RB, he’s dangerous with the ball in his hands.
More Jenkins/Shanco/Harvin
Play Camarillo, no he’s not a burner, but he catches the ball, basically doing his job.
More change from my pocket.

Disappointing but not unexpected
AP needed 23 carries to get 80 yards. That is all you need to know.
I will confess that I was a defender of Loadholt but I cannot do that any longer.
Please do not draft anymore linemen over 325 lbs and even that may be too much.
The max I would go is 315.
There are just so many positions that need upgrades that it is difficult to place blame on one unit.
Offensive line, wide receiver, safety, even corner back as Cedric is not looking too good.
It is going to be a long year boys!
We will be drafting at the top of each round
Which means we could have 3-4 starters
What we need to do is maybe look to identify free agents as well that we can maybe bring in for 2012

Everyone is jumping on the Luck bandwagon. He’s a product of marketing and wishful thinking like a lot of unproven rookies, including Frazier.
Ponder won the big ones in college and Luck set records but didn’t put his heart into WINNING. Reminds me of the Leaf and Manning situation, where everyone thought that Leaf should go first, but Indianapolis knew that Leaf’s heart wasn’t in winning and took Manning first, while Leaf was a bust.

is Luck in the same sentence as Ryan Leaf.

Staying to help your college side make it to and win a Bowl appearance …. where is the lack of heart in that?
Dont care, bench him now. save the math for peopel that give a shit.

Seems like this one is running pretty slow.

Let the rebuilding begin
You’ll no longer be able to talk about re-tooling, re-stocking, or re-anything other than regretting getting McNabb.
Don't blame Frazier
He did not have any good options for QB. Childress mortgaged our future to win in 2009 & 2010. Now we have to pay the piper. Next year Shank is gone, defense is getting old and needs infusion of youth. O line is below average and best lineman is on the decline. We should trade so of our top players for draft picks. I seem to remember Dallas trading Walker and then winning three SB’s. We are not going to win with an aging core of players, the sooner we admit that the faster we can rebuild.
As for Frazier, remember the current coach of the Pats bombed in Cleveland and they gave up on him too soon. We have to give Frazier at least two years. Look at what Shanahan is doing in DC. Skins were terrible last year but much better this year. Remember Frazier did not have a preseason this year and the personnel problems were ones left to him by Childress.
