Chicago Bears At Minnesota Vikings - Second Quarter Open Thread

PrintThe Minnesota Vikings have generated two turnovers against the Bears so far, and have turned them into a 10-0 lead.
The first came when Benny Sapp knocked one away from Earl Bennett on a play that needed to be challenged by Leslie Frazier for the right call to come out. The Vikings turned that one into a 26-yard Ryan Longwell field goal, and that gave them a 3-0 lead.
On the Bears' next possession, E.J. Henderson caused running back Khalil Bell to fumble, and Jamarca Sanford jumped on it to give the Vikings the ball at the Chicago 20. Percy Harvin took over from there, carrying the ball twice for 20 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown run to cap the drive.
On the last play of the first quarter, Jared Allen added half a sack to his total for the season, giving him 19, 2 behind Chris Doleman's team record and 3.5 behind Michael Strahan's NFL record.
Three quarters left in the Vikings' season, folks. Here we go!

Second quarter started shitty
"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
Bruce Lee (1/27/40 - 7/20/73)
Vikings misread the memo.
They traditionally cave in the 2nd half, not the 2nd quarter.

If you watch the replay, the ball goes straight from his hands into CB.
Wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t made that throw, but it’s not like you can blame him for a deflection like that. Bad throw, though.

Protection was very good for the 1st series.
I didn’t really watch the protection after that.
However, I wonder if it’s natural that a DE get lose when the playcalling has Ponder rolling out of the pocket as much as he was today. I liked seeing the roll outs.

Joe Webb is more and more impressive
And this off season is going to be a bastard of a QB controversy.

WOW
i was sad to see Ponder leave the game but…
Webb is doing an UNBELIEVABLE job — playing smart and looking downfield instead of just tucking and running. great accuracy.
definitely sold, now — we officially have a QB controversy.

i never said i wouldn't give him a chance
i just think Ponder needs a full off-season, TC, OTAs, etc.
but Webb is proving he can do all the things i wondered whether or not he could. i’m pleased with that.

Would have added a nice penalty to the whole thing as well.

Webb can throw
but he can work on his accuracy. Not bashing him, just if there was something I’d like to see him improve, it’d be his accuracy.

His placement of the ball
His receivers have helped him convert the passes to catches. I’m not complaining, just making an observation
and thats their job to catch what's near them to catch
by midnightwonder on Jan 1, 2012 1:41 PM CST up reply actions
i've noticed that on Percy's catches
he’s bailed out both QBs on badly placed throws. i definitely credit Percy on those.

Could be QBotF. Competition next year will be good either way. Still so many holes to fill with this team. A loss today would really be the best thing for the future.

The latter was a no brainer
Randall seemed to regress after getting a big contract, in Philly and Minny.
And for teh first, nobody though Brad shoudl be starting after a few games at least.
