Washington Redskins At Minnesota Vikings - Fourth Quarter Open Thread

Email
PrintThere is just too damn much action going on at FedEx Field right now, and we're doing everything we can to keep up with it.
We've got two touchdowns from Joe Webb (one rushing, one passing), a touchdown catch for Kyle Rudolph, Adrian Peterson and Christian Ponder both leaving the game with injuries. . .and, in Peterson's case, likely leaving for a much, much longer time period. . .Jabar Gaffney making one-handed touchdown catches, Rex Grossman ripping up our secondary, and the Vikings holding a 23-20 lead with 15 minutes of football remaining.
Not necessarily in that order, except for that "15 minutes remaining" thing, because that's where we are right now.
I'm exhausted just watching all of this, so here's your fourth quarter thread, ladies and gentlemen. Once we have more word on all the injuries and all that other good stuff, we'll bring it to you post-haste. Thanks for hanging out with us this afternoon, folks!

Excuses for why Joe Webb still sucks!
He’s not a rookie any more, so this performance should be expected.
He still scored one of those TDs with his feet.
Gerhart had a very big run.
The Redskins didn’t prepare for Joe.
If I had 4.4. speed, I could be unstoppable at QB too.
He might be OK at QB, but he’d be better at WR.
If he really were a legit QB, he’d have more INTs.
(I’m running out of stuff here. Where are the Webb haters at??)

But 3rd and 9 with Webb at QB. Let him make the play. He’s scoring TDs every drive and only has 1 INT over nearly 3 games of football. It’s not particularly risky to let the kid make a play on 3rd down. The kid is absurdly poised.

I think we're guaranteed 1,2 or 3 in the draft.
We need to trade that down some, then trade it down again.
Load up on 2nd and 3rd rounders.
Because there are SO MANY PROBLEMS on this team that 1 first rounder won’t fix it.
But 4-5 picks in the 2nd and 3rd round might make a difference.

Maybe not all starters, but there’s a chance that the WR and DB core will improve

and the will kill the drafting Luck talk.
The next discussions will be, is Webb better than Ponder. And is Gerhardt better as the feature back then Adrian is. Would trading Adrian for picks be a good idea.

webb is raw and unique that’s whatt scares people away from accepting him as a starting qb but man if he gives us the best chance to win it doesnt matter how he gets the win then he should be the starter but Ponder has showed a little promise and he’s a natural thrower but he’s obvisouly injury prone and still learning. I’m on the fence on who should be the starter now but i’m starting to enjoy the greatness of webb. He can be the qb nobody wants but we have and we can win with.

He played well today, I'll give him that.
But there have been plenty of other games this year and the last where I’ve seen him make some pretty bad throws. Not poor decisions, just really inaccurate. So I’m going to remain skeptical for a while.
At least he doesn't throw any pick sixes when he has all day to figure it out.

No luck
No Luck or Kalil with that win. One more victory and we extend that to no Luck, Kalil, or Blackmon (and possibly no Claiborne). Oh, well, a victory or two at the end of a lost season is better than a top draft pick anyway. Yay for us.
WHAT
How is meaningless Victory more important than getting a all world LT?? please explain
SARCASM
I thought I laid it on pretty thick, but apparently not.
No prob
I, too, wanted them to lose. I don’t understand the insistence on winning games that can only hurt your future. This victory means about as much as getting that annoying little popcorn husk out of your teeth. You forget about it in a few minutes. This was a “who cares” game. And, apparently, a lot of people cared about it. I just don’t get it.
Completely agree
A win this week hurts but not terribly if they win next week and fall back to about 5th in the draft then I think its fair to be an upset fan.
Yep, we won. Now we are shit out of Luck (so to speak).

There's a difference between and entire season and a game at the end of the year when the Vikings are 2-12f
Start every season aiming for the Super Bowl. Try to win every game. But when you’re 2-12, who cares if you win another game and go to 3-12. ESPECIALLY when that win hurts your possible drafting next year. You know, for future seasons that might actually matter.
Exactly

it would have been nice for the vikes to lose today and next week, and have the high picks, but that’s not the way it goes. It’s professional football after all, these guys are paid to play.
Ugh
Possibly avoiding the worst record in franchise history – good. Losing out on a possible plethora of draft picks to help the rebuilding – sad. A win is a win is a win.
to all the naysayers out there
you need to stop thinking that draft picks are a given. nothing is a given, except a win after you get one.
for all we know, if we lost today and next week and got Kahil or whomever, who’s to say he will be good? You never know. It’s all a crapshoot. It’s good to see a win. We could draft Kahil and he could blow out a knee in preseason. You just never know.

I've never thought Webb was bad
I’ve only ever been worried about his passing ability when teams have a full week to game plan for his running. I think he made strides today showing that he can accurately throw the ball. If our biggest problem is deciding between two good, young QBs, we are lucky as hell.
Sadly
That is not even close to being our biggest problem… secondary,O-Ling,No 1 WR, and A.P injury are much worse
Well, what is it the Ponder fans always say?
Oh yea, IF THE O-LINE WOULD GIVE HIM SOME TIME. IT’S NOT HIS FAULT (whimper, sniffle).

Don't get me wrong...
Webb should stay at QB, that’s clearly where his upside is and he don’t make any plays at receiver anyways but, a backup is all he is. He can come in and win us games if Ponder struggles or gets hurt (like he did today) but I don’t think he should be the starter over Ponder. He’s not at the same level in passing and ultimately we need our QB to pass. We don’t need to play Tebow ball.

Only talking about regular season games........
plus, Webb did shadow Favre, which is a major plus. This is going to be a great offseason.
So, Ponder didn't get an offseason this year...
…but Webb did?
And of course, Webb’s two weeks of practice reps and 2 games last year in the old playbook outweight Ponder’s 9 games this season and 15 weeks of practice reps.
You just want Webb to be the best scout team QB in history. Leave it to Frazier to make you happy.

It feels like I haven't seen Ponder complete a throw over 10 yards in a month.
I exaggerate of course, but the fact that Gerhart, Peterson and Harvin turn screens, dump offs and shuffle passes into TDs doesn’t say much about an “above league average in TDs” QB.

He is exciting. It's great to see him lead the team to 3 tds and a victory in 1 1/2 qtrs.

And you don't trash talk about him

And who was it this past week that said...
…“you can’t take the Lion’s game to extrapolate Webb’s future production?”
I might even have agreed with them until I saw Joe this week. :-)

I still want to see what happens when a team has a whole week to gameplan for him

I don't think Ponder is coming back next week.
He had his noodle hit pretty hard a couple of times, and he doesn’t play well without the weekly practice reps. Joe will start next week unless Frazier pulls a Frazier and starts Sage.

I think they had bad experience with T-jack
So now a lot of Vikings fans think all black QB’s are like T-jack in same way or another. You should have read the posts that were said about Cam newton before the draft.
wow you are really biased or dumb
I think I speak for all Vikings fans when I say we want to win. for you to suggest otherwise shows your agenda

When was the last Viking win that had as much impact as this one, meaningless game?
Unbelievable, Webb/Ponder, draft position, AP/Gerhart.

sorry
that last was supposed to be a reply to Mel
Sucks to not be able to reply to yourself correctly.
I know, because I’ve been there myself plenty of times.

Locking this up
We’re not going to start throwing the race card around, and we’re not going to resort to name calling.
It’s Christmas, people, and this is just football. Everybody take a few minutes, chill out, and head on over to the late games afternoon thread.
