wtfvikesfan (449)Happy Sunday morning, Vikings fans. No live chat today but we wanted to have an open thread to discuss the game real time. Adam and I will be around and will try to participate in the conversation.
Adam’s already made a bold prediction this morning. Check it out below:
#BoldPredictions Christian Ponder throws for 250+ yards and 2 TDs restarting the debate as to whether or not he is the answer in Minny.

My bold prediction? Peterson has 200+ yards and two touchdowns today. This man is on a mission. May not be as bold of a prediction, but honestly, I don’t think I could have come up with something more out there!
Vikings
QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson
CB Brandon Burton
LB Audie Cole
OL Troy Kropog
OL Mark Asper
TE Allen Reisner
DE D’Aundre Reed
Rams

OL Chris Williams
RB Terrance Ganaway
WR Steve Smith
TE Mike McNeill
Let’s go Vikes!
That’s a very bold prediction with ponder. Terry Bradshaw just did his weekly prediction on fox he went with AP not getting to 100 yards for an 8th straight game.

Old School…we need about 5 sacks and 3 forced turnovers.
Did they really list impact players on our defense and not list Jared Allen?
And on offense didn’t list AP
Ponder goes for 200+ and 2 would’ve been a little out there.
Going for it on 4th and a long yard was a VERY interesting call. Can’t say I agree with it, but it worked out! Ponder should’ve scored, though.
I’m with you there i consider myself aggressive but I’m not sure i would have gone for it right there.
After watching that drive if i didn’t know better I’d say ponder looked like the mvp and AP looked like the bum.
Nice escape and run from Ponder there… playing to his strengths so far… not too shabby of a drive for the youngster there… Peterson going nowhere so far.
wow! way to go, ponder, eh!?
Robison down, not good. At least Griffin is a great backup.
Robison goes to the locker room. Griffen’s time to shine
wear ‘em down and AD will get his later
Great catch by Carlson, that’s why we signed him.
ghost of carlson!!!!!!
Ponder 4/5 in first quarter, with the one incompletion being a virtual throw away because of instant pressure. Good start for him, especially when you throw in the rushing stats and score.
Hate to say it but they’re gonna have to throw the ball before anything opens up for AD
Jefferson burned again
Not to beat a dead horse but every pass this drive has been against Jefferson except the td pass.
crap, COVER!!!!
c’mon defense
bradford is the luckiest sob on the field as the last of the big money draftees
i’ll be very happy even if we don’t win this game, as long as it’s a big bounce-back game for ponder
Woohoohoo!
He’s a bad man!!!!!!!!
It’s funny, a run like that is becoming normal for AP. Every week…
i love that so much
He has to be bionic
yeah! now slam it down their throats
I swear Ponder needs to go to the eye doctor, he must be at least half blind
rookie mistake by ponder, but getting three helps
Gotta make a decision Ponder…Throw it or run. Had Carlson 1 on 1 deep…worth a shot
Woohoohoo!!!!!!!!!!
nice throw, skippy
Pick 6 by… Everson Griffin?
OMG!!!! nice job, griff!
Wow! Love me some great Defense…LOVE IT!!!!
Griffen is one helluva athlete, wow!
Everson the Magical Griffen in pass coverage?
Haha…that’s fun stuff right there.
gryffindor
on our offense, we shouldn’t get the ball higher than shoulder height now until they make us
Bradford is looking like ponder, playing scared.
BOOM!
Sure nice having a good lead so the D can pin their ears back
Ponder overthrew a receiver, didn’t know he could do that, seriously tho glad Frazier is still passing trying to build his confidence.
So much for Bradshaws prediction, suck it Terry
hmm, ok, can we run, run, run now
If the game keeps going this way, do you still feed the beast and give him his yards (risking injury), or give smelly ol’ Gerhart some reps?
I wouldn’t want to be the one who tells Adrian he’s done.
go for 2000 and the record
Smelly big face….
LOL…I know, right!?!
blockhead german
AD the punisher
Way to keep to the ground guys (sigh). Need 5, let’s mis-throw for 4.
just run it! poor throw and route
John Carlson is our leading reciever right now in both catches and yards. Weird.
They were saving him for the playoff push…..BOOM! Bust out big John!
what!?!?
Blair Walsh just passed Randy Moss’s rookie scoring record of 106 points. Walsh is at 107 with two and a half games to go.
Pretty fly for a white guy.
Is that a team record or NFL?
Team
that’s like, blasphemy or sumpthin, but i’m ok with it
Vikes get the ball first after halftime. Keep that 20 point lead!
I hate this soft ass defense
“That was a HUGE play by Jarius Wright!”
- Things we haven’t heard lately at all
Wow. Lucky misthrow from Bradford.
half time is party time at all vikings households
1:00 to go, will Leslie be satisfied? I think not.
Our kicker can beat up their kicker.
Really they say Zuerlein is better than Walsh? Fools.
not their day. sukkerrrsss
Toby!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, horrible clock management at the end of the first half. It seems to happen almost EVERY week. Crazy.
Normally its on Frazier, that looked like Ponder’s fault. Could have been the coaches if they didn’t get him a play too.
They wont let Ponder throw the ball over 5 yards. Real nice clock management boys, geez
23 points lead, a well balanced game for the Vikes, and we get the ball first!
call the TO, dammit
Gerhat: der amerikaner hat hundekuchen in der tasche!!
Translation: the American has dog biscuits in his pants.
What a weird thing for him to say. Must be a fat face thing.
must be a big time lag here
did obama win?
Dewey defeats Truman was the last thing I heard.
Well back umongst the living sort of, still on the meds and knee is still pretty sore, but HOW ABOUT THOSE VIKINGS!
And on a personal note thanks to all you guys (Johnny, Cal, etal) for not insulting AD by calling him AP!
Ahoy Fran! You should share the drugs. Some of us are advocates of recreational use.
Sorry Tomb but we’re a bit to far apart for any sharing. Too bad, cuz they’re pretty good! My wife (A Nurse) couldn’t figure why the ‘Script was for 90 perkacets and 40 Valium! Soon found out tho, as I’m about half way thru them. Pain has subsided into just slihtly tolerable but man, from Thursday thru Saturday I was popping one about every 2 hours.
yw, ftm, but keep taking those meds umongst you
Gerhart now the leading receiver in yards on the strength of two passes.
What a weird team we are, but what a fun lead at the half.
hehe
Is there any way they muck this up? Glad you’re doing better Fran
suck for luck
Close to 100 comments once again, but a second half open thread is now up
Last post didn’y goo thru TEST TEST
it’s the drug testing filter
Ha! Just saw that.
We are REALLY kicking these guys asses! Ponder doesn’t look half bad either. Hope for next year for sure.
Males an old guy like me a little more optimistic I’ll live long enough to see the Vikings win a SB
Where’d everyone go?
There’s a new string for the 2nd half, druggie.
You gotta be kiding me
nope, saucer eyes
