I'm of mixed emotions concerning the Vikings debacle on Thursday night. One can hardly be disappointed that a Vikings team starting Christian Ponder and playing without Adrian Peterson lost to an Aaron Rodgers-led Packers team. And since I'm starting Rodgers this week, I'm certainly not objecting to the fantasy points.
But still, losing 42-10 to the Packers is painful, even if it was a result that even a blind man could have seen coming. It's also amazing how obvious in retrospect it is that Christian Ponder was not an NFL starter, not that I didn't say so repeatedly at the time. At least this performance should quell any lingering notions that the Ponder die-hards might be harboring.

Given that I am a Bears fan I was absolutely livid that the Vikings were forced to play the Packers on the short week without their QB1 or 2. These divisional game blowouts on TNF need to stop. The visitors are 1-4, and the first team to score is 5-0. Its almost like the players decide to call it quits after the first score.
At least your vikings forced something like 6 punts. If the Bears could have managed that they would have straight dominated the Packers. Between the Vikings O and the Bears D the Packers went from looking like a team that was lucky to be 1-2 to world beaters in the span of 5 days..
I know Carolina is banged up, and had to bench their criminals, but you never want to lose your starting LT and have to fill in that spot with a guy who spent his first 2 years playing in Canada.
F*ck pinktober glad I am done with the NFL. I'm sure all the fans are enjoying the pinkfest.
I would take Ponder over Sewerwater any day.

Then you haven't seen the Vikings play this year.
@Billy:
That's just ignorant. Bridgewater has the talent to play in the NFL, Ponder...well, he must have some pictures of the Wylf boys in compromising positions.
Matt Prater to Detroit. Book it.
Late 4th Q and they're all still close. Too bad the NFL won't ditch the Thurs. game
That's oh-for-three.
Oh, Henery!
Despite enjoying watching the Packers rack up points, and Ponder's ineptitude, I almost turned the game off due to them spamming the TNF theme jingle. Now playing F#, the official tone of the NFL and TNF. STOP PLAYING IT! PLEASE STOP!

I watched a TNF game last year. Between the three studio guys no one EVER stopped talking! Even after the snap or during penalty calls constant jabber.
Bill Simmons.

That would be more entertaining, but it is just that he was the last man standing. Although Bridgewater has more potential, he also has more potential for injury.
The secret curse on the Vikings and their name sakes by as so far unknown First Nations tribes in Minnesota continues.
Vox should check with his People to see if there is some kind of traditional cure for that.
49ers beat the Chiefs Vox
Even after the snap or during penalty calls constant jabber.
This is not a joke: radio announcers make better use of silence. The jabber is even worse because half the time, from the beginning of the game, they are talking about crap completely irrelevant to the action on the field. Madden at his worst, in a lame blowout game, couldn't help winding his way back to the action: "Yeah, that 9/11 sure was terrible last week, and it really puts things into perspective because -- well, it happened in New York and that affects both the Giants and the Jets, and even though neither of those teams play the teams on the field tonight, the back-up noseguard for the Jets was traded just last year from the Broncos, and would you look at that, the Broncos noseguard's chinstrap is broken! Boy, I bet you Mike Shanahan had that guy from the Jets back for the next play. It's really amazing what an impact a horrific national tragedy can have on the game of football."
It would be nice if the NFL could get a few more announcers who were more obsessed with football than they were with the NFL.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tim Wheeler said at a press conference this week that the commission’s board would consider a petition calling on the FCC to prohibit stations from airing the word “Redskins” on broadcasts under its authority to regulate profane language, opening another front in the fight against the name of Washington’s professional football team that activists want to change.
If the FCC moves to regulate “Redskins,” it would be another blow against it from the federal government, after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trials and Trademark Board invalidated six of the team’s federal trademark protections on grounds that the name is “disparaging to Native Americans” (the team is currently appealing that decision). Wheeler’s remarks came in response to a complaint filed by George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf, a public interest lawyer who said he filed the petition because he does not think racial slurs should be permitted on air.
