Doesn't sound like we will have A.J. Jefferson this week. That leaves us without 2 of our top 4 corners.

Yep, expect to see Burton or Sherels getting a lot of time in the nickel.

Yikes. Maybe since we might have a shot at the playoffs, we should sign a WR and CB.

AP needs to run for 200 yards a game from here on out if we want a shot at winning these last few games. That being said i feel like Ponder will find a way to piss this game away somehow. I just hope that AP runs over that punk *** Finnegan.

I'm gonna be at this game 8 rows up, and super-duper drunk, wish me luck.

Remember what Chad Greenway said, drink liquor not beer.

This is going to be a tough game but if our defense continues to play well I think we can beat these guys. We've kept much better offenses this season in check so I think we should do a good job this week. To me this game comes down to the turnover battle. If we can play turnover free football and get a few take aways we should be able to win this game. AP should continue his dominance but Ponder will need to keep playing well on 3rd downs to keep drives going. The Rams have a tough defense so this should be another good test for Ponder.

We lose because we ****ing suck *** on the road and it doesnt help when christian ponder is playing ARGUABLY the worst qb play in the entire league.


Dont give me ******** about our line/receivers/play calling. Igaf.
I know that he needs help, but the way he's been playing is literally pathetic and embarrassing.

Since week 7 christian ponder's numbers

962yds

6 td's

8 int's

107/191

That's a 56% completion percentage.

Adrian peterson in his last 7 games has a total of 1,095 yards rushing!!! He has more rushing yards than christian ponder does have throwing the ball!!!!!

That's un heard of! I dont think theres anyone qb-rb duo that has a stat like that.

Danny Amendola - WR - Rams

Coach Jeff Fisher said that Danny Amendola (foot) has a "much better chance" to play this week.
Amendola played just seven snaps in Week 12 and then was inactive for Weeks 13 and 14. He's expected to be held out of Wednesday's practice to manage his injury, but this is the first time the Rams have shown real optimism lately. Fisher did add that needs to be "close to 100 percent" to be his usual, effective self.

this is going to be a tough game if Ponder doesn't get going but if we want to believe we are a playoff team, we have to win this!

There isn't.
Where I live I don't get Minn. radio very well. I listen to the SCOR out of Chicago. They can't mention Christian Ponder's name without laughing. Thank goodness the Bears gave us that W.
You know I would've never drafted Ponder. I gave up on him last year as well. I still think this team has alot of talent, and we're a healthy Harvin and a good or great QB away from competing for a championship.
I would've tried to sign P. Manning last year. Or tried to trade 1 spot with the Rams to get RG3. Although I liked Luck better, but no way was Indy going to let him get away. Then trade Ponder if there were any takers. Or just keep him as the backup.
A great receiver + Ponder will not be enough.
I still could be wrong about Ponder. So far he's proven that I was right about him all along.

I bet those same radio people are laughing at Cutler too. Manning would have never come here no matter how much money we would have given him. If we tried to trade for rg3 we wouldn't have Kalil, or harrison smith and probably not even josh robinson. So how good would that team be right now?

You have no idea what Ponder will be like with a great receiver because he has never had one before. Give Ponder a guy that will go up and get the ball like Marshall instead of guys like jerome or devin and his stats will look a lot better.

Look at the past 2000 yard rushers. Numbers are even worse except for the Denver Broncos who had Elway.
