Oxbow6 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Could the Ponder experiment be coming to an end soon? Vikes sign Josh Freeman to 1 year deal... Quote
Siouxman Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 NEWS FLASH - The Minnesota Vikings sign Josh Freeman in the hope his antics will draw fan attention away from the team's woeful on-field performance. Oh, wait .....that didn't work in Tampa Bay. Quote
jodcon Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 NEWS FLASH - The Minnesota Vikings sign Josh Freeman in the hope his antics will draw fan attention away from the team's woeful on-field performance. Oh, wait .....that didn't work in Tampa Bay. Meter maids running, fueling up the Love Boat as we speak. Seriously though, I have to wonder if this means... A) Ponder is hurt worse than reported and going on IR? B) They've seen enough of Ponder and Cassell is taking over? C) Freeman is being penciled in as a long-term answer? I'd like to know what Frazier is thinking, but he never says anything about anything so I guess we'll see who trots out Sunday. Quote

I'd like to know what Frazier is thinking, but he never says anything about anything so I guess we'll see who trots out Sunday. Frazier did say that Freeman will not play this weekend. Not enough time to get up to speed. I'd have to think that Cassel will get the nod this Sunday, and then go from there. I'm guessing they brought Freeman in to see what he can do as the starter, not to back anyone up. The only thing that could put a wrench in that is if Cassel plays exceptionally well this weekend. If Cassel lights it up, then there's a decision on whether to give him the reigns the following weekend as well, however if he's so/so then you let Freeman have a shot at it. Whether Ponder is injured or not, I'm guessing he's the 3rd stringer from here on out, and then gone after this season. What a mess. Quote

I guess we'll see who lasts longer, Greg Schiano or Josh Freeman. Quote

sprig Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Watching the Packers run the ball Sunday for 5-8 yards a pop made me think: what could AP do if he had holes like that to run through every play, since the D against the Packers can't play all 11 guys in the box because of Rogers and the Packer receivers. The Vikings have what every QB has to want because it makes throwing the ball down the field so much easier, well, easier for anyone but Ponder. Even Dilfur could do better. Quote
jodcon Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Off-topic but who would have thought the Giants and Steelers would be winless going into week 6? Quote
Fetch Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Stick with cassel until he messes up - & that should give This guy a chance to become a viking Quote
jodcon Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Sounds like the Adrian Peterson story is true, just on ESPN. Sounds like his 2 year old son was beaten by his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend and is in a SD hospital in critical condition. WTF is wrong with people? Quote

Sounds like his 2 year old son was beaten by his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend and is in a SD hospital in critical condition. WTF is wrong with people? I don't know how any "human being" could do something like that. I am sure he thinks he had some kind of "right" to do what he did. He will find out soon that he does not. God help him if Peterson every gets his hands on him. Quote

I hope AP finds this guy and beats the !@#$ out of him. He is a disgrace for a human being. Picking on a 2 year old. What a !@#!$!. Quote

He won't be hard to find since he was arrested in put in jail. Maybe if he bonds out, AP or someone may have there chance... Quote
Fetch Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 I bet eventually AP will be glad to not have a connection to the mom....poor child Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I bet eventually AP will be glad to not have a connection to the mom....poor child Sounds like he didn't have much of a connection to the child either. Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 God help him if Peterson every gets his hands on him. Since this is apparently a 'secret' child, do you really think he cares? According to several web sites, he's not listed on the birth certificate. Announcing that he's playing Sunday? Sounds like he's real devastated. Quote
WiSioux Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 And this child has passed away Terrible thing Quote
Uncle_Rico Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Who gets a taunting penalty when the other team scores a touchdown? Only the Vikings. 1 Quote
iramurphy Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Who gets a taunting penalty when the other team scores a touchdown? Only the Vikings. Chavon Mackey might but only if he was the guy burned. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I am starting to think the Cover 2 (or Tampa 2 or whatever the heck they call it now) defense just doesn't work anymore. Offensive coordinators have figured out how to move the ball against it. It was the greatest thing since sliced bread in 2002 when Tampa Bay won the Super Bowl with it, but times have changed. With some of the talent we have drafted on defense the past couple of years, along with some of the guys we have brought in (Jared Allen) we shouldn't give up touchdowns on every single freaking drive. Even with the injuries they have had back there this year. Looks like Spielman will be drafting a QB in the high-end of the first round in 2014 and then drafting lots of defensive players after that. This team went to the playoffs last year and returned a lot of the same guys; this should not be happening. Some people in Winter Park need to be polishing up their resumes right about now. Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Somebody in the PR department should have told AP 'the less you say, the better.' The news media didn't help things by mentioning this story every 8 seconds in yesterday's telecast either. 2 Quote
Wilbur Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 So let me get this straight? As soon as he's ready to go Josh Freeman is the starter? So does that mean that the Christian Ponder era is over? Quote
