Game thread: Vikings at Packers 12/2/12

Another nationally televised game...

Seriously, AD better get the ball at least 37 times

I hate Cobb. LET'S RUIN RODGERS' BIRTHDAY

I DO like Josh Robinson, and that was a stupid penalty. Not going to win despite dumbness today. Close, if we keep getting penetration like that we might do good things. But we need to tackle

I'm going to say this one more time and that's it....WE ARE NOT GOING TO WIN IF WE PLAY STUPIDLY, PERIOD, THE END.

Pretty good coverage by Jefferson, it was a really good catch.

No need to panic, and this should be a point of emphasis too, we need to stick with what we're good at and keep doing it, no matter what the scoreboard says

FEED THE BEAST

Wright was WIDE open....sigh. I hate how fast those 3 and outs seem. Maybe we need to screw around more or something, just to take a little extra time

So close...so freaking close

Big stop time!!!!! Are we going to jump offside on EVERY SINGLE 3rd DOWN??? GOOD GOD. Oh hey, the Packers made a mistake! Sheesh, relying on penalties to slow a drive down is total crap. The D needs to step it up.

Good stop. Now Crosby can miss and we'll be ok. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Keep doing this stuff...what we're doing now. Please.

Nice little play there. I liked that. Simpson needs to block downfield better x 2

Good drive. BOOM BOOM BOOM Nice work!!!!!!!!!

Need some good defense here. AND A STOP! please punt it. Ok whew, that was great and let's do that "drive and score" thing again. More AD and more Rudolph and pepper some Wright in there

A) umm flag??? B) Aromashadu??? 3) Ugg.

Brinkley is the President of the Can't Tackle For Shit club. ENOUGH OFFSIDES ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH. Whew wow whew and Allen COME ON MAN!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ALLEN WITH THE PICK!!! And crap..... That was a TERRIBLE call. Holy shit that was awful. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL WHAT THE HELL

Give me a GOD DAMN break. Horseshit bullshit garbage. Sorry for the cursing but holy crap that was awful. A score before the half would be huge. That call, man...that call

Bad pass no time

Nice return Cobb

Hold them. Boooooo. Got to get to Rodgers better. We're 6 inches and a quarter of a second away. Frustrating

Oh boy. I hate this offsides day. No good and GOOD HALF!!!! Keep pounding them and punching them in the face. Don't let up

Take care of the ball

Mason Crosby is having a very bad day, a very bad month really. AND Les is right, these penalties are STU................HOLY SHIT AD!!!!!!!!!

AD AD AD! Someone buy that man a steak and let him sleep in, who cares

Dammit Christian. Too easy and awful. BAD BAD QB BAD

Defense please bail us out

So freaking close every stinking time. Nice tackle, Green Bay line. Not really allowed

For the love of all that's good, don't let them score. Points off turnovers make me sad

Crosby time?? Or not. They hate him. STOP EM

The crappy Fox robot has a twitter account??? Hysterical.

Oh hey, Crosby made two now, that means the rest of the way he's going to miss

Please stop throwing to Simpson x 2...Jesus. Why no passes towards Wright? Who, Ponder or Musgrave, feels the need to involve Simpson AT ALL? You had your best drive of the day throwing to Rudolph, where are the designed throws to him? I'm starting to have some bad feelings about this

INTERCEPTION BY SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel some relief. Crap. Needed to convert there. We can not keep letting them hang around. A WR screen to Wright here and there would be freaking awesome. Or a little flair to him. Or how about a screen pass. Anything

And seriously I MISS PAT WILLIAMS

I guess these previously horrible GB running backs are suddenly Emmit Smith. This game is RIDICULOUS

Offsides. Do we need a little luck? We might

That was a good playcall and a not great pass. Someone else might have caught it, but oh well. ponder converts the 3rd down. Ok fine

All Day, baby...All stinking Day!

Another lucky call. I'll take it. These refs are something else. Ponder needs to be better. This is getting inexcusable. And there you go. Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow. This is, like, the perfect storm of bad qb play and predictability and just general crap

Time to take Ponder out and sit him down. That's it. He NEEDS to be done for the week. Period. If you want to win THIS WEEK he should sit. I know that Ponder has an incredibly long leash, but if he's so mentally fragile that being benched is going to ruin him, then he isn't the answer at that position. SIT HIM DOWN

So bad...so so bad. We should be crushing them

What the hell

Well....I'm pretty speechless

What you got?

Why, oh why, is Ponder still in there? How can any of our other options be worse than this? Seriously

Lucky that wasn't picked. Are we going to get Ocho this week?

OH LOOK, CHRISTIAN, YOU STAY IN THE POCKET AND SET YOUR FEET AND YOU CAN ZIP THE BALL IN FOR A COMPLETION!

Kick the FG

Miss...and there goes the game. Not that there was much chance anyway, but damn :(

---

OK, so here goes my 2 cents...

A good wr will help us, but only so much. Even if we had Moss in his prime, we're not winning a game with QB play like we had today. And if Ponder's confidence is so fragile that he can't handle being benched when he's playing like shit, them he isn't the QB I hoped he would be.

I've been a huge supporter of his since we drafted him. But he has gotten worse and worse and worse. He's had one good game since week 5. ONE. And I know that we're rebuilding this year and so far we have exceeded expectations, but when you have a shot to go to the playoffs and you don't take it??!?!?!

Awful

Also, I really do think that Ponder needs to just go out there and play. Sometimes being super smart is a hindrance. He's thinking too much and being indecisive. The coaches should try to help him with that. But, seriously, this is some awful awful qb play
