Only the first week of preseason and all, but the Lions were the only team to win in week 1, (cue the "they went 4-0 in pre-season the year they had the 0-16 record).
The O-line for the Bears looked horrid and it didn't look like Ponder had a very good game either.
Much ado about nothing probably but it just MIGHT also reflect the idea there's no clear-cut high-performing team in the NFCN just yet....and to quote a little "Firefly," "and that ain't exactly nothin, either..."
Well, not sure how Ponder had a bad game he was only in 5 plays. Most team don't play much of the starters first game. To put anything on the first game is meaningless. To put anything on any preseason game is meaningless. Looking at individual players can even become meaningless depending on the players around them.Only the first week of preseason and all, but the Lions were the only team to win in week 1, (cue the "they went 4-0 in pre-season the year they had the 0-16 record).

All valid points.Well, not sure how Ponder had a bad game he was only in 5 plays. Most team don't play much of the starters first game. To put anything on the first game is meaningless.

Speaking of individual players R-man, how did Cassel look?Looking at individual players can even become meaningless depending on the players around them.
Didn't get to see the game so I can't make a comment on something I didn't watch.Speaking of individual players R-man, how did Cassel look?
Never seems to stop other posters. NO rumors, gossip, innuendos, slander, hearsay, tall tales, fables, sagas, epics, legends, lore or anything? (don't have time to find a thesaurus)Didn't get to see the game so I can't make a comment on something I didn't watch.
For future reference. BTW what's a another name for thesaurus?Never seems to stop other posters. NO rumors, gossip, innuendos, slander, hearsay, tall tales, fables, sagas, epics, legends, lore or anything? (don't have time to find a thesaurus)
Apparently after taking two snaps and throwing two passes it has been confirmed for a fact that Ponder is a bust.Never seems to stop other posters. NO rumors, gossip, innuendos, slander, hearsay, tall tales, fables, sagas, epics, legends, lore or anything? (don't have time to find a thesaurus)

Are you as a fan optimistic of Ponder evolving into a top-tier QB and/or one you'd be satisfied with leading your team?Apparently after taking two snaps and throwing two passes it has been confirmed for a fact that Ponder is a bust.

I am. It's real tough to come into this league and do well as a QB your first 2-3 years. Very few start out as starters at a high level and remain there. I think the only top QB in the league right not that did not sit at least one year before starting is Peyton Manning(Eli sat for about half a season). Had Ponder had a year or two behind a decent QB I think you would be seeing a different QB than what you have seen now. Big Ben started right away as well I believe. But not many. Most have a least a year to sit before they are starting.Are you as a fan optimistic of Ponder evolving into a top-tier QB and/or one you'd be satisfied with leading your team?
I think the Gold on your glasses is too thick and you can't see. 14-2? But I'll take it as long as the 2 are to the Vikings.Packers 14 and 2
Lions 9 and 7
Queens 8 and 8
Bears 6 and 10; Cutler shoots 2 of his o-linemen and claims self-defense.
It shouldn't be close.
Yeah, you're probably correct. I keep looking through the glare of all of those Championship trophies.I think the Gold on your glasses is too thick and you can't see. 14-2? But I'll take it as long as the 2 are to the Vikings.
So will I if those are the only two losses all season.I think the Gold on your glasses is too thick and you can't see. 14-2? But I'll take it as long as the 2 are to the Vikings.
You visiting Pittsburgh? Green Bay don't have but 4 trophies in their HOF. They won them, but they don't have the trophy(ies)Yeah, you're probably correct. I keep looking through the glare of all of those Championship trophies.
