[QUOTE="peteralan71, post: 397461, member: 5418"] I was also at the game and I think that made me feel a lot more like we were not in control of the game, since the crowd was insanely loud for the majority of the game with the exception of some of the 3rd quarter. I think that Woodson just figured out Ponder's tendencies but if Ponder had been able to get the ball over Wood, the receiver would have been gone. Woodson is a gambler, but that may not work out for him again more skilled quarterbacks. So many people have made a big deal about Ponder. Why? He was 13/32 with 2 picks that should have been 3 or 4 (Bush missed on in his hands of course, and Wood let one go over his head). I will give Ponder this: he made some great throws while scrambling and with an executioner in his face, which is a quality that ARod also has--makes him a little scary in my eyes. Also, he converted a LOT of 3rd downs. I think that the Vikings have become so used to AP being successful that they grab Ponder's small successes and run with them, forgetting that AP had 175 yards on the ground. He was past beast-mode last week, he was simply on another level. All in all, I don't take scores or even the W-L prior to the games too seriously in division games because the familiarity enables great and suffering teams alike to come to a middle ground where the scores are generally close at the end of the game. That said, don't harp too much on us beating the Vikings by 6... we're still the best team in the league. [/QUOTE]
