Chicago Bears At Minnesota Vikings - Fourth Quarter Open Thread

Email
PrintThe Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears combined for zero points in the third quarter, meaning that we're still looking at a 14-13 Chicago lead as we move to the fourth quarter of play.
However, that doesn't mean the fourth quarter has been without action, as Jared Allen has gone wild in the second half, as he is now up to 3.5 sacks in the game and 22 for the season. Those 22 sacks put him in possession of the Vikings' single-season sack record, breaking the record that had been held by Chris Doleman (who is in attendance today).
His 22 sacks are also the second-highest total in NFL history, and just .5 sacks behind Michael Strahan's single-season record of 22.5* set in 2001.
But, as it stands now, the Vikings are still trailing the Bears by a score of 14-13 as we go into the final quarter of the Minnesota Vikings' 2011 season.
Come on in, folks. . .the party is right here!

I've been impressed with the run defense today
Very solid.

Raymond is awesome.
"Like I said, I don’t think anybody on this team knows what schism is, let alone could use it in a sentence. I thought it was an STD when I first heard it. And I was like whoa, we preach abstinence around these parts." - Jared Allen
Asher holds and still wasn't even close on the play

Williams caught that.

and then wait for them to decide and yell for Frazier to take the kick team off the field, and then take a delay of game penalty. and then call another time out to evaluate.

he takes reps at both
But the fact remains that he is not being developed only as a QB. Nobody ever said that Joe Webb is a refined product. Obviously he’s still very raw. But he made plays today that very few people on this planet could make. I’m not saying he’s perfect, but given the circumstances, I think he deserves not to be thrown under the bus.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
You could say the same about Ponder.
Does he deserved to get thrown under the bus before his rookie season is even over yet?
Ponder was a high 1st round draft choice
Drafted to be the QBOTF. He won one game as a starter. Yes Aikman and Manning, blah blah blah, but those guys showed a lot of promise and their respective teams were a lot worse than Ponder’s team IMO. Not throwing Ponder under the bus, but I am not convinced that he is the answer.

Not giving up

"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
I could have listed other things like
The fact that he doesn’t see the whole field, ( he misses open receivers a lot), the poor decisions he makes, and the fact that he locks onto receivers a lot, but those things I think are rookie mistakes that he can improve upon. The other issues I pointed out are what could be his downfall.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
I agree with a lot
I honestly think a full off season will help. This year he missed out on a chance to add weight and arm strength because of the lock out. While his arm isn’t “elite” I think it’s weakness is slightly exaggerated.

I see your point
And I hope youre right. The Vikings did not stretch the field at all this year. Our receivers aren’t very good and our QB’s had no time. But you have to wonder if the arm strength is part of the problem. He threw a nice long pass vs Atlanta, but it was only around 55 yards in the air. I have to believe that every NFL QB can throw it at least 60 yards, so that pass againts atlanta while part of an impressive play, it didn’t put my concerns to bed in it of itself.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."

Matt Ryan is about 6'5"
Ponder is right at 6’2". I’m beginning to think that has something to do with with his lack of field vision. I hope I am wrong.

He would escape that and juke the bus out of it’s transmission and it would break it’s own axles trying to keep from tipping itself over. Meanwhile Joe Webb would be racing down the sidelines for a 99 yard td, laughing all the way.

Billick: "What did McNabb do to deserve being benched?"
Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.
You think he doesn't take reps at WR in practice?
One thing I do know is that he lines up at WR in games, and I also know that you dont run things in games that you dont practice. Connect the dots
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
I never said he doesn't.
I was saying that you can’t accuse him of not knowing what he’s talking about because he’s not at practice everyday if you’re not at practice everyday, either. Your argument discredited yourself while trying to discredit him.
Webb clearly takes reps at WR in practice
I don’t have to go to practice to figure that out.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Everyone knows that he does.
But I guarantee that the amount of reps that he gets in practice leans waaaayyyy more towards QB. If you notice, he doesn’t get thrown to very much in games. Probably not because of a lack of athleticism, obviously, but because his reps at WR are limited. I really doubt that he takes enough reps to detract from his ability at the QB position. He’s only in a couple packages and it seems to me that he’s more of a distraction out there than anything. He’s only been thrown to once this season, if I remember correctly.
I wouldn't guarantee anything that I couldn't prove
But I’m not you. What I look at is the facts. The fact is that the Vikings ran about 5 plays with Webb at QB today. That tells me that his reps are very limited at QB during the week.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
Conjecture based on facts is still conjecture
There can be any number of reasons they only ran 5 different plays with Webb at QB.
touche
But Frazier did not draft Webb. Frazier has hitched his wagon to Ponder. Ponder’s gonna always get the nod as long as Frazier is around. Frazier did realize that Webb is too gifted to sit on the bench. So after Jenkins was lost for the season Frazier made it a priority to get Webb on the field as much as possible. With his wagon hitched to Ponder, the only way to do that is at WR. Webb has been on the field for the first offensive play of the game 3 times in the last 5 games. And while he’s only been thrown the ball 4 times this season, I’m not convinced that is due to his lack of reps at the WR position. No one not named Percy Harvin or Aromashadu has been thrown to very much as of late.
Speaking of conjecture, I would be willing to bet that if the VIkings had managed to lure John Parker Wilson off of Atlanta’s PS that Wilson would have finished the year as the #2 QB and we’d have seen much more of Webb at WR.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
He's listed as a quarterback.
He gets quarterback reps. More than he does at wide receiver. Otherwise he would be listed as a wide receiver. The most idiotic thing that they could possibly do is have Webb as their number 2 QB and have him spend more time practicing his 3 or 4 packages where he’s playing wide receiver and not even being thrown to. So yes, I would go so far as to guarantee that Webb gets way more reps at QB than he does WR. With Ponder having been banged up and coming out of the last few games, why would they have Webb spend more focus on a position that he’s not playing full-time when they know that there is a very good chance that they’d need to use him in-game as a QB? Frazier may have hitched his wagon to Ponder, but he also knows that we need a backup QB just as much with they way things were going. To suggest that the coaching staff didn’t know the value of a backup quarterback and made him focus on something that they weren’t really going to be using him for, just seems rather silly to me.
So we agree to disagree
No problem here with that.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
but if you put any stake in what tom pelissero says
then you need to listen to his post game report from sundays game. in it he briefly discusses that it’s hard to get a fair and objective assessment of joe webb because he has been thrown into the last few games with “no reps during the week”.
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."
--Vikings DE Jared Allen
You don't think he takes QB reps?
You said lay off because he takes WR reps ALL week. I pointed out that you were wrong and he takes QB reps when you threw a fit.
Billick: "What did McNabb do to deserve being benched?"
Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.
I never said that
But he clearly does not take part in the full game plan as a QB due to the fact that he is also being asked to play WR. I am not wrong as he does practice as a WR all week. You misinterpreted my comment. I didn’t say he ONLY practices as a WR. Of course he takes reps at QB. But he’s also seeing a lot of reps at WR in practice (and he would in the games too if Ponder could stay healthy).
"At this point, what we got to lose, right? So we might as well throw caution to the wind and hit people in the face."

Answer: He upset PETA by killing every worm he came across on a football field.
do you mean until his orginal hip injury?
Or until he was injured today? Because he left the game immediately after he injured the hip today. EIther way, he won 1 game as a starter. Same as McNabb. Even Webb has a win in limited action.

I'm just glad we pick 3rd!!!
I know it’s horrible for me to write this down, but I hoped the Vikes would drop todays game, if there is going to be any solid rebuilding, we need lots of quality draft choices.
That said though, I couldn’t watch and root against the Vikes, so I didn’t watch the game. It’s hard to believe it’s come to this.
Let’s hope/pray for a very strong draft!!
Jax won
SO vikes were locked into #3 regardless.

hope for Cleveland to somehow beat Pittsburgh today — they need to be far enough down on the board to feel the need to trade up, and we could certainly be a suitor. i’d trade back a few spots for both of their 1st rd picks should they want to move up for, say, RG3.

I think Ponder needs to focus on loosening himself up this off-season or do something to help with these injuries. If he keeps getting injured, Webb will end up being the guy by default

Something to think about
Vikings are in a division with 3 elite QB’s. We are going to give up a lot of yards passing even with a good secondary because rules favor offense. We have the best edge rusher in the NFL, if we can get pressure up the middle, we might be able to disrupt those QBs. If we can’t get more pressure, defense is going to struggle.
The best teams, Saints, packers, patriots no longer try to run the football. They are pass first, pass oriented.
Going forward, are we going to try to win games with a disruptive defense or are we going to try to outscore three prolific offenses?
Understand that we need OL help in a major way and would take Kalil if he is available. But our defense is far worse than our offense and with Kalil, we can move Johnson to guard and play Sullivan, Loadholt, and AH or Hutch and keep Berger as a top backup. That gives us 6 solid linemen.
But our defense needs to be retooled. We need speed. It’s the only way we will slow our division rivals.

I doubt it. This was only Joe’s? what 4-5 game? Joe has spent most of his time running the scout team.He is essentially still a rookie. While Cam Newton and Andy Dalton are having an incredible year, I wouldn’t consider that to be the norm. Most quarterbacks take three years to develop, and that’s with first string repetitions. Its also hard to evaluate them with the poor surrounding cast. Improve the O-line and give these guys time to develop. Even though this was a loss, I saw some great plays happen against a very good defense. What really impressed me was Webb escaping Julius Peppers, and then instead of just taking off running , Webb set up and threw an impressive pass to A-do. A lot of pocket passers would just taken off running.

everything you just said can be attributed to our other QB (except the Peppers play which was sweet)
But yet people are ready to pull the plug on Ponder when he’s even less seasoned than Webb.

Actually Webb is less seasoned than Ponder. Ponder attended Florida State and has been receiving first string repetitions. Webb attended the University of Alabama Birmingham and has spent most of his time running the scout team. I like both quarterbacks and think both could be viable starters. I just like Webb better and feel he was never given a fair chance. Both quarterbacks will improve with meaningful reps. Joe may have had a bad pass at the end of the game, but overall it has improved greatly in the few chances he has had.
