vikings (5-3) at seahawks (4-4) late afternoon game 3:05 start

we need to right the ship, keep ap going and get it to percy more. defense needs to step up (cook going down hurts)

seattle is tough at home, and seem to be a pretty scrappy team- really good pass defense (although the lions went to town on them) so i don't know

GO VIKINGS :clap:

We haven't been playing well lately, especially Ponder and the defense, so I'm worried. If we can hold'em under 20 points, we've got a chance.

Ponder offers nothing. He's a poor man's Joe Webb.

ap is running wild

but i can barely watch when ponder goes back to pass

i keep waiting for the joe webb closer appearance

well the seahawks just shut down the offense in the second half, like 60 yards or something

hobbled percy gives us no pop

defense needs to be better, ponder needs to be a lot better, we need more wr weapons and i think we need to make better adjustments for the second half

The defense we saw at the beginning of the season appears to have been a mirage. Ponder is at the brink of being replaced. Adrian is unreal.

should the vikings consider sean payton this offseason?

They should, but I've got to imagine the Saints have to inside track to resigning him.

it was all just screens and checkdowns early, now other teams know thats all he wants to do and he's got nothing else to offer down field. I've never seen any potential with this guy, I dont know why he was drafted so early or why they so easily brushed off going after Peyton or other free agents just so they could continue to convince themselves they didnt make a bad pick. Tavaris part 2.

I can't say I see much reason for optimism either, he can't stand in the pocket or throw downfield. I'd like to see more Joe Webb, he's probably not the QB of the future but he is the 3rd most dangerous offensive player we have. We need to find a way to get him on the field.
