Oakland Raiders At Minnesota Vikings - Second Quarter Open Thread

PrintAfter what can charitably be described as an "interesting" first quarter, filled with penalties and other assorted fun, the biggest thing to remember is that the referees in the National Football League are, indeed, professionals.
Yep, when you're not quite sure what down it is, you might be an NFL official.
Anyway, Adrian Peterson found his way into the end zone for another touchdown, his 11th of the season, to give the Vikings an early 7-0 lead. The Raiders got a big kickoff return and put together a decent drive, but the Vikings forced them to settle for a 29-yard Sebastian Janikowski field goal to make it a 7-3 game as we move on to the second quarter of play.
Seriously, I'm not sure if I've seen a game as poorly officiated this season as this one. . .and since every Vikings' game is poorly officiated, that covers some ground. But even the personal foul penalties that have been called on the Raiders thus far have been questionable at best.
Adrian Peterson appears to have injured his ankle on the final play of the quarter, and he needed help getting off of the field, so we'll have to keep you updated on that one as well.
But, as we move on to the second quarter of play, the Minnesota Vikings have a 7-3 lead over the Oakland Raiders at the Metrodome. Join us for more fun and festivities, won't you?

Vikes only need
A NT, LT, backup QB, MLB, CB, FS – only seven players. Pick up a CB, FS in free agency and draft a LT and DT and we are in business. But if we draft poorly or don’t get some upgrades in FA – then it’s going to get worse.

No 3rd stringer for next year, though, if that’s what you mean.
This team needs to look itself in the mirror

We are a bad team. Plain and simple.
No need to be upset if you already knew that it would not be pretty.
It is going to get worse too.
Ponder can run. I will give him that. I have yet to see too many throws down the field.
We still need to see him the rest of the year.
Berger is not the answer at guard either. There is a reason why he has been on 4 or 5 teams already. And it is not because he is that good.
Too bad Herrera is not good either and all but done. If he was a horse he would have been shot already.
But look on the bright side. We can only go up from here.

Ponder really doesn’t have that much help

And Ponder and Brees about the same height?? Does Brees seem to have that problem? Maybe Ponder is just ROOKIE QB on a bad team. Maybe the coaching staff does it to try and help our weak line and play to our ROOKIE QBs strengths. Come on man, he can’t see over the line and the boot legs are actually helping him and out line if anything.

Im trying to do 3 things at once n it’s not working out so well. Brees is short too and doesn’t seem to have any problem throwing the ball down field and seems to be able to see over his line just fine. I wouldn’t attribute Ponders struggles to what Losvikingos was saying, height and not not being able to stay in the pocket and throw downfield and that blame lies more so on our weak o line.
