2103680, And in the third game, He ascended. Vikings/Packers III
Posted by Marauder21, Sat Jan-05-13 02:33 PM
Just came from a mixed gathering. Some purple, some green. And I don't know how I'm going to pass the time until kickoff because I'm too pumped.

As cunty as all of his fans are, watching Aaron Rodgers run that offense is ridiculous. As much shit as cantball deservedly gets for NO ONE EVER OF ALL TIME, I do think this is one of the best marriages of an offensive scheme and a QB with all of the abilities to run it that I've seen in a long time.

But he's also got fewer playoff wins in Lambeau than Daunte Culpepper. In the McCarthy/Rodgers era, they haven't been great in cold weather playoff games. They definitely have a style that seems more suited to an indoor/warm weather team. Are they built to come from behind if they need to in icy conditions? We might find out.

On the other side, we have a team that excels at running and stuffing the run. All things are possible through Purple Jesus, and the Packers haven't been able to stop him yet (lol @ "he won't get 200 on us again.") And the D showed last week that it's possible to rattle Rodgers, though that still doesn't mean he won't get TD's.

This is going to come down to Christian Ponder and Antoine Winfield's One Good Hand.

Fuck Packers.
Get Money.

@JayGlazer: Odd situation in Vikings players and QBs haven't been told if Webb or Ponder starts. Webb took all first-team reps but team says Ponder goes

Can't wait to watch the tears freeze on all the Lambau faithful's faces when AP takes a big poop in the middle of the field.

JOE WEBB-A-PALOOZA!!!

I also get to watch the game with 3 obnoxious Packers fans, so I am excited for an upset in that regard as well.
2103774, Webb scares me
Posted by cyrus, Sat Jan-05-13 06:05 PM
Ponder didn't worry me, but Webb is a wildcard that the Pack probably aren't prepared for. This is going to be close.

so their fans would shut the fuck up.

that would require them winning this game though.

...Ponder out, Webb in...i should be scared right? why am i not though? in a weird way i'm excited....

now NObody expects us to win, and i actually think Webb has the 'potential' to be a positive 'Xfactor' that the packers D will have to account for...


i guess we'll see!!!


GO VIKES!

2103989, Lol. Terrible? Yeh right
Posted by LA2Philly, Sun Jan-06-13 02:52 AM
A decent starter on the road (against a team he tore up last week) or a dude who has started like 3 games...at the most vital position in the sport. No difference? I know you're one for hyperbole but c'mon.
2104102, no difference between winning or losing & yes, Ponder is shitty.
Posted by Bombastic, Sun Jan-06-13 01:45 PM
It's nice he finally completed his second pass thrown more than 15 yards in like half a season or whatever it was last week at home in a game the focus was all on A.P. even more than usual.

But I don't think the Pack should have been the least bit concerned about lightning striking twice outside a dome in January in Lambeau for his playoff debut with Woodson coming back.

They were losing regardless.

Vikes have no shot unless AP run for bout 3hunna and 4 scores.

his body was in no position to get that much power into that pass...but he did.

but that dudes no joke...

Posted by jimaveli, Sat Jan-05-13 10:49 PM
>his body was in no position to get that much power into that
>pass...but he did.

He casually makes outrageous throws all game long. Feet don't matter. Movement doesn't matter either. Most of the time, the ball is going where it is supposed to go. And fast. Jarring to watch him after Schaub and Dalton. Not to mention Webb is out here looking like Rivers...making 'fuck it, I'ma chuck it' throws. It is sad that they didn't have a better plan for him. He got first team reps this week so it ain't like Minny was shocked when Ponda couldn't go, which is crazy.

I'm asking because this game is clearly over.
2103886, I said this last week, and I'm not trying to crush Webb...
Posted by Dstl1, Sat Jan-05-13 09:27 PM
Ponder made some big throws last Sunday. Minny needs points and that read option shit was cute, but there was no way he was gonna go toe to toe with Armitron 3000 and not throw the ball down-field.
2103893, smh turrible

wack arm and no pocket presence.

hope this puts to rest all the fucking rubes in MN talking about "put in joe webb!"
2103924, C'mon, his first action of the season is a playoff game it Lambeau...
Posted by ThaTruth, Sat Jan-05-13 10:42 PM
and you're going to write him off after a bad performance?
2103931, Would Ponder have played better or worse?
Posted by Marauder21, Sat Jan-05-13 10:49 PM
2103932, GTFOH
Posted by Kira, Sat Jan-05-13 10:55 PM
Christian Ponder was just ruled out tonight. Joe hasn't taken any reps with an wide receivers all season. He did reasonably well considering he wasn't starting as of yesterday night. In addition to that it's Lambeau Field in January. Mike Vick is the only guy to successfully hoe the Packers in Lambeau this early in the playoffs.

Give him a full offseason to work on his mechanics and study the playbook.

This is the coaches fault. They knew last week Christian was injured. They should've gameplanned around Joe instead of listening to Christian.
2103941, you're right...those passes he was throwing into the dirt and...
Posted by Dstl1, Sat Jan-05-13 11:11 PM
over dude's heads were the coaches fault. He was drafted like 200th...and not even as a QB. Then they drafted Ponder 12th overall the very next year. Let's not act like dude is Steve Young waiting behind Montana or some shit.
2103946, He could be Alex Smith while you bullshitting.
Posted by Kira, Sat Jan-05-13 11:27 PM
He needs time to develop. Plus he returned kicks. That's the utmost sign of disrespect.

He hasn't taken snaps all year so talking about his bad throws are pointless. The bikes thought Christian Ponder would start this morning.
2103971, He's clearly not even a backup QB in this league
Posted by jorge123, Sun Jan-06-13 12:39 AM
His job, as the #2 QB, is to come in with little to no preparation and put in a performance good enough to win a game. He did not do that. He was a huge reason why they lost - he provided no spark whatsoever. He therefore has no value on a roster as a #2 QB.

So then you have to evaluate whether he has the potential to be a #1. He does not.

Tonight he played about as well as you would expect your local high school QB to do. That's not going to cut it. He was making mistakes that any pimple-faced 5th grader with a copy of madden knows not to do - yet he is taking up a roster spot in the NFL. He's done.
2104091, lol.

ah well....(gulp)...
2103929, Well this is shitty
Posted by Marauder21, Sat Jan-05-13 10:48 PM
But now Joe Webb and Garret Gilbert forever have something in common.

Better next season.
2103960, Uhg. Tough loss...Never thought I would be longing for Ponder, but there you go.

It was bound to happen at some point this year, just wish the Vikes could've shocked the world or something.


FUCK.

Probably half assed that last game knowing it would keep the bears out of the playoffs and let us play you again
