New Orleans Saints At Minnesota Vikings - Second Quarter Open Thread

PrintThe Minnesota Vikings got off to a nice start in this one, as they forced Saints' tight end Jimmy Graham to fumble on New Orleans' third play of the game, courtesy of Jamarca Sanford. Rookie Mistral Raymond scooped up the fumble and took it to the Saints' 26, which led to a 44-yard Ryan Longwell field goal to give the Vikings a 3-0 lead.
The Vikings forced the Saints to go three-and-out on their second drive as well, but the Vikings responded with a three-and-out of their own. On the next drive, the Saints appeared to have a 40-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees to Robert Meachem, but the play was negated by a holding penalty on the Saints. New Orleans did finally get the ball into the end zone, however, thanks to a 5-yard touchdown pass from Brees to Lance Moore to make it 7-3.
The Vikings' defense is missing a lot of tackles so far, and that's something that needs to come to an end if the Vikings want to have any chance in this one.
Asher Allen is also in the locker room with "concussion-like symptoms," so we're going to see some Cedric Griffin going forward after he was not out there to start the game. Hopefully he's up to the task in this one.
We're trailing after one quarter of play, ladies and gentlemen, but we're not getting killed yet.

Its not really his fault on that one. He could have felt the pressure more. I’m just losing confidence in him giving them the best chance over Webb.

Screen passes and cluster formations
Does Musgrave call any passes that aren’t screens or cluster formations? If I see one more screen pass my head is gonna explode. We finally spread the formation, on 3rd and 16. Does Musgrave not realize that his screen passes aren’t working. They usually don’t when you run 5 in just over a quarter.
I think he's doing that for Ponder's benefit.

"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain." - Lily Tomlin
it's all about the team record
Packers get all the calls b/c they’re 13-0.
when you get a 2-11 team vs a 10-3 team, there’s already a bias that the team with the better record is going to be making plays, not penalties.
same reason why they call personal fouls on elite QBs and not rookie or unproven QBs.
same reason why Revis can get away with PI when he commits it.

running up the score?
the offense is supposed to put points on the board and the defense is supposed to stop them. These guys are paid athletes, this is their job. If they want the saints to stop running up the score, then can go out and stop them.
That's bullshit
At the time, our Offense had done jack shit. Saints had no reason to think it wouldn’t be another 3 and out. They just wanted to be dicks.
How the FUCK did we get that?

Ponder needs to take Shotgun snaps 15 yards back from the line of scrimmage.
Just so he can get more than a half second to throw.
only 1-1.5 seconds in the pocket for Ponder.

Is Ponder actually our QB of the future?
I mean our O Line is terrible. But even when he is well protected he over throws his receivers. Someone give me some positives about the guy?

He doesn't have time to throw.
and he makes quick decisions. Blaine Gabbert would have died already if he played in Minnesota. I doubt Cam Newton and Andy Dalton would be doing crap, either.

Like I said the O Line is bad. But...
When he gets some protection he doesn’t seem to make the right passes or decides to just scramble. While i’m all for drafting an O lineman in the draft I think we need to consider someone new at QB.
