Chicago Bears At Minnesota Vikings - Third Quarter Open Thread

PrintThe Minnesota Vikings trail the Chicago Bears by a point at the Metrodome in the final game of the 2011 season as we head to the locker room for halftime.
Joe Webb is once again in at quarterback for an injured Christian Ponder, who appeared to aggravate his hip injury on a hit by Israel Idonije early in the second quarter. Webb has led a couple of decent drives, one that resulted in a blocked field goal, and one that resulted in a made field goal.
Jared Allen has 1.5 sacks in this one, giving him 20 for the season. He now trails Chris Doleman by one for the Vikings' single-season team record (Doleman had 21 back in 1986) and Michael Strahan's NFL mark of 22.5* is within reach.
So, as we get ready to begin the final half of football of the 2011 season for the Minnesota Vikings, they trail the Chicago Bears by a score of 14-13.

That is a very good point.
His offensive lines are always incredible wherever he goes.

I don't think so. He had pro bowl talent and the offense had weapons and Billick.
He let them slide every year he was line coach.

Yeah high draft picks are a small consolation
Would rather have the win personally
"You can write articles and do whatever you want, you can break down every player. Good, bad or ugly. But we just aren't good enough as a team, as a group. Offensively, defensively and special teams, from the No. 1 on the roster to the last man on the roster. We just aren't good enough. It's as simple as that." - Chad Greenway
That game was a classic
of which team can idle their engines better.
Vikings won the challenge. Now the larger question may come up – what the hell was Ponder doing in the game so much. Chicago didnt treat Brett F. so well and can clean Ponder’s clock pretty good.
