So, who's going to block Jared Allen on the Bears?

No one.
Unfortunately Harvin is doubtful now though, and I really doubt Ponder can play like that for the second week in a row without him against a MUCH better defense than Detroit. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

I'm hoping that AD can go off against the bears like he did his rookie year going for like 200+ yards. But its gonna be a tough game.

I think I can speak for both teams when I say it has not been a very good start...

I don't know if its just me but it seems like Ponder is really liking Wright. He goes to him a lot. Also Simpson sucks.

I have never in my entire football-watching life seen a team get so overwhelmed and manhandled. The feeling resembles watching your childhood dog get it's throat cut by mobsters. This is going to be an ugly rest of the season.

I hate to carry on the negativity, but I couldn't agree with this more. This is such a terrible game it's sad. I love my vikings just as much as anything else, but this is just terrible terrible terrible football.

There is a pit in my stomach. I hate to proceed with the analogies, but I feel like I totaled my car in a busy intersection and I'm just staring at the wreckage. This entire regime is to blame. Musgrave, Frazier, etc.

Jesus christ step off the ledge you guys. Who expected us to win this game?
Obviously it was terrible but if you expected much different you were just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Any team can win any given Sunday. I really thought we could win this game.

Brutal performance. Not much else to say. Offensive line had one of their worst games of the season. Ponder needs to make some strides.

I don't really think Ponder was the issue here. There were several balls that were dropped that should have been caught...3 by Jerome Simpson. Aside from the 1 interception and 50% completion percentage (several drops), Ponder wasn't that bad.
What killed us were Peterson's two fumbles, the defense couldn't tackle, and Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall tore up our defense. Our defense also couldn't hardly get pressure on Cutler at all. How is it they can't get pressure on one of the worst OL's in the league?
