Green Bay Packers At Minnesota Vikings - Fourth Quarter Open Thread

Well, after a typical 2011 Vikings third quarter performance, a 17-13 lead has turned into a 33-20 deficit. Christian Ponder has thrown two interceptions, both picked off by Charles Woodson, who proceeded to act like he had never intercepted a pass in the National Football League before.
Adrian Peterson just went on a 54-yard sprint to move the Vikings down to the Green Bay 26-yard line, which is wher we are as we start the fourth quarter of play. He now has 163 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown on the afternoon.
Ponder has struggled in the second half, as he's now 8/19 for 126 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Hopefully the purple can get things turned around here, but it's not looking terribly promising at this point.
Vikings trail by 13 with about 14 minutes left in this one, as it looks like the team is on their way to 1-6. Ryan Longwell just hit from 46 to narrow the gap a little bit.

Timeouts
Thought we used the timeouts poorly, what do we all think??

thought we should of waited till after the 2 min warning personally

It's not that
Its the not stopping them.
With a stop we would have maximized the time left. Makes no sense to let 20 sec run off and then call time out.
The punt was a 50/50 call
Using all three time outs in 20 seconds isnt any more productive though.
Specially once it seemed we werent going to stop them.

At least we got a FG
so it’s 33-20 now.

a QB with time can make average receivers look good.
A QB with great receivers and no OLine won’t win anything

we have no OLine as it is, with a rookie QB making his first start...
…and damn near won it. i call BS on the whole “no OLine” notion.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."

Here is the problem with your logic
Hutch turns 34 on Nov 1st. Herrera is 31 and will turn 32 in June and is not that good. Johnson is a stop gap barely serviceable left tackle that Indy did not even try hard to resign. They went with a rookie. Sullivan could be serviceable but he keeps getting dinged up.
The line needs replacements that can either come in and play on day one or are ready in a year. At some point in time the Vikings need a left tackle, a left guard, and a right guard. They need to start building that ASAP.
If they wait in the draft then they will get what they pay for.
And having a good line would help AP too.
the difference in our opinions is...
…i believe in our backups.
i like Fusco — he had great blocks today at RG, and could possibly work at C.
i also think Love is severely undervalued and could potentially be a starter at Tackle. let me be clear that i’m not necessarily saying he is the solution, but he had a 2nd round grade and fell to us in the late rounds — and most said he would be a G in the NFL and we have him slated at T.
nothing wrong with my logic — don’t make it out like i’m saying we don’t need help on the line, b/c i’ve made it clear that we do. all i’m saying is, we need a Fitz, a Megatron, an AJ Green.
"Th_r_'s n_ h_p_ f_r _ssh_l_ f_ckw_ts."
Can I buy a vowel...?? +1, Kluwe.
How o you believe in guys who haven't played?
Fusco looked fine today, but really small sample. Berger sucks. Have seen nothing of love.
...haven't heard of a "hunch"...??
i have a good feeling about said players. it’s no different than anyone else saying we should draft (Player X) next year.

time to put your money where your mouth is
I’m talking to you Jared Allen and Kevin Williams, if your gonna get mad at the coach for calling you out you better show us what you got
Let's keep fighting either way
If it stays close I’d still call it a huge moral victory – to keep up with the supposedly “awesome” Fudge Packers with a fully depleted Secondary and a hurting O-line would be insanely cool for us, imho.
Tyrell is lucky Rodgers couldn't make that throw

… GB’s secondary has been a little porous this year, and he’s made a couple of mistakes, but overall, this is about of as good of a debut as you could hope for, I think. I’d be fired up if I were a Viking fan, regardless of the outcome of this game.

That team sucked and AP is better than DeAngelo Williams and Stewart Steve Smith looked washed up last year. I think its cam. Ponder is ok but not someone who I think is great.

So far, in a VERY limited sampling, Ponder is worth being taken in the first round, at 12. Maybe it’s because of how bad McNabb played though, that makes Ponder look better.

Hard to tell Marcus
I think any team who prepares for the Vikings thinks of us as one dimentional (how in the h do u spell this word?) We have no deep threat almost at all and we have to be easier than most teams to prepare for. Offensively, with our lack of depth in the secondary and linebackers who are below average against the pass – geez!
"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
prepare for offensively that is.
And with our poor defense etc next sentence.
"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Dimensional
Moving on.
Ponder played like a rookie BQ, but he played well enough to be in it.
He also played well enough to let the coaches and the opposition know that the threat of a pass now exists in Minny.
That’s why drafting him at 12 wasn’t a mistake.
Again the sample is limited.
Still, what he showed as a rookie is encouraging.
Assuming he learns from his mistakes this season and the offense will improve.
and a side effect will be that AD will break off more big time games.
Basically what I’m saying as that after showing the naysayers that he’s competent, why are they still second guessing?

See...

Plus…he was the Panthers #1 QB going into the season, which means that he got all of the snaps with the first team in the extremely short pre-season that the NFL had this year. Whereas Ponder had to sit and watch McNabb play with the first team.
if you take away that first play, which was a fluke...it tells a different story.

It was right to punt
If the defense made some stops, we would have had a better chance. Going for it on 4th and 10 in your own territory? If you fail there, the game is over.

it sucks that they won today…but if there is a silver lining..other than we found a QB…is we’re headed to a good draft hopefully…we need a big nasty nose tackle, and a left tackle wouldn’t hurt either….lots of needs

Our linebackers are so average.
Including Greenway, he was in no way deserving of that contract, has he made a big play all year? I love EJ, and he’s one of the toughest human beings on the planet, but he’s always a step slow.
Whatever!
We played tough and our rookie looked good. We can take some positives from this game!

Yes and no. Peterson had a monster game.
But ALL season they’ve been asking AD to do that. The reason that he hasn’t been able to is because the QB play before today was so bad that other defenses didn’t have to admit that we had a QB on the field. Ponder played well enough that there was an extra lane or two for AD.

Yeah, Ponder threw some picks this game which McNabb stayed away from, but Ponder’s throws were much more on target as well. I don’t think anyone can justify wanting McNabb after today, even with Ponder’s numbers. He made plays when they counted: on 3rd downs.

Agree.
As MarkSP has talked about for a long time, if we had drafted some of the best OLinemen available the last few years, our QB and also Adrian would likely be seeing more success.

Game ball to
Peterson. 170+ yards rushing. Ponder was great on our last TD drive and gave us a shot to win it. But Ponder’s 2 ints also led to 6 GB points – the difference in the game.
Normally, I would say the Vikings were right to punt on 4th and 10 but at 1-5, who cares, play to win. We also quit running on that last drive and we had plenty of time. Big mistake to panic and start throwing every play.
I thought our O line played well. Ponder had time to throw most of the time. His mobility is a huge plus and something we have not had the last few years.
by Vikefandc on Oct 23, 2011 6:42 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
It'd be nice to have that

good post. I’m not a fan of giving out a game ball to anyone in a losing effort, but i agree AP would get it, if i gave it out, which i wouldn’t :)
I’m glad we have Ponder….i sure hope the Vikes can surround him with talent come April. There are so many needs. Playmakers on defense, offensive lineman, a gamebreaking wideout.
Still..the Vikes took the champs to the ropes..and that’s saying something.
The O-line did okay today, I think
It isn’t as bad as we make it out to be all the time. I think some better WRs would make more of a difference, although a different LT would be nice just to get some depth. But if we had somebody other than Harvin (who isn’t in often enough to make a huge impact) to distract from Peterson, the O would probably move the chains alot better.

Leslie showed shades of Childress
It is never beneficial when you play not to lose instead of playing to win. The decision to punt on 4th down was equivalent to waving the white flag. Ponder had been converting big plays all game long, why not try it again? I understand trusting your defense to come up with a stop, but our D is horrendous and Green Bay is the best team in football. Bad call.
Marney Gellner's number one fan.
Not it wasn't..
He hadn’t converted on 3 throws in a row on that set of downs. It was 4th and 10. We weren’t even at our 40 yard line. If we didn’t convert on that play, the game would have been over then and there.
He gave his team a chance to try again if the defense had done its job. Unfortunately, it didn’t.

"Show me a hero, and I will write you a tragedy." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

To their credit, if I remember correctly, they did run a lot of play-action on that set of downs, so they were trying to get the defense to bite. We just didn’t get a play that time.

Disagree
If the defense could have held them ( after the punt) to a three and out, we have a chance at a 2:00 drive. We fail, and they are in field goal position almost immediately. That is a tough call.

Why they did not keep giving the ball to AP to set up third and short is beyond me.

if only the d would have played with some heart and determination on that final drive.
have to say
Ponder exceeded my expectations,. but Frazier is a complete dumbass. 4th and 10 with 2:20 on the clock and you elected to punt, when the defense was getting toasted by Rodgers? are you kidding me!?!?!?!?! should have taken a shot with Ponder to get the first. Starting to think Frazier is going to be another bad coach.

Congratulations to Christian Ponder
Nothing unexpected from Ponder today. Loads of talent, but he’s going to make rookie mistakes, like those flat throws Woodson intercepted. The good news is all about Ponder’s youthful legs, which did not falter in the second half. Ponder is indeed a gifted scrambler, which means where most QBs are running for their lives from the rush, he moves under control.
The bad news this week is about the shoddy secondary. Man, that was sad watching Aaron Rogers pick up all those easy completions. How is it that all the Green Bay guys stay within three feet of our wide receivers, while all our guys can’t stay within six feet of theirs?
A few things I'd like to see on offense
-Double moves. Yes I know the OLine sucks. But they played decent enough and defenses are going to be aggressive with a rookie QB
-4 WR sets. Doesn’t matter if our receivers are all Pro Bowlers. Camarillo, Harvin, Jenkins and Aramoshodu are average.
-Running from passing sets. Spread the D horizontally to open lanes for AD.
-Booker as the 3rd down back. That’s basically what he was at FSU, and he’s comparable to Chester Taylor.
-Screens to AD and or Percy. Seriously, find different ways to get them the ball.
-AD in on 3rd and long in a passing set. Make the defense uncertain, it will lead to success.
Other stuff I can’t think of now.
Musgrave said they weren’t scaling back the offense. And after watching this game I might agree. I just hope that wasn’t the entire offense.

Bruce Lee (1/27/40 - 7/20/73)
I agree with most of what you said
The philosophy of Frazier seems to be that he wants to take a play and telegraph it by pulling AP on a lot of plays, passing or not. It always seemed better to me to brutalize a defense by keeping them guessing on every single play.
by liveforadrenaline on Oct 23, 2011 7:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Watch out...
If ponder could even get an average Oline, I think he would be great. Another WR or two would help, but he looked good out there. 1st start against the superbowl champs, the only undefeated team left, and he took them to the wire? Yeah, I’d say that was pretty impressive.

He thinks the d was the problem the first 3 weeks. Or the o or QB was the problem tonight.
