If we keep AP from running wild, keep J. Allen out of our backfield, don't commit stupid penalties and/or turn the ball over we should be 7-0 going into our bye week.

Beware the Ides of Charlie Batch!
It will be interesting to see if you get the Favresque Ponder, who likes to throw it up for grabs from time to time, or whether he is more disciplined. I expect to see him doing a lot of tuck and runs. Some of them will be maddening because he will be athletic enough to pick up a few first downs this way. Bishop/Hawk will be late on the tackle.
I didn't think his arm strength was that impressive. He's a good scramble and accurate on short throws though. The one long completion he had took forever to get there. Guy was wide open though. He threw two or three other deep balls, and they didn't come close to hitting their mark and weren't cannon throws.
Wonder if the Vikes win the "Suck for Luck" contest (whoever coined that - it's hilarious. I think it was PB?) whether they'll take Luck or if they'll Ponder their future without Luck?
Ponder is their QB for the rest of the season now. If he shows any signs of ability and they end up with the #1 pick, I think they trade it for the complete haul they will get in trade. He's going to be worth at least 2 first rounders along with multiple other picks. The Vikes would be on the other end of a Herschel Walker-esque trade. And if Ponder even becomes above average they could become much, much better very quickly.
Nope, the internet did that one without my help.
What I love is that Peter King and other media types have seized on that term to infer something detestable about fans and even goaded Luck into voicing his disapproval.
In fact, I bet the original campaign was a) Tongue in cheek and b) meant to describe actual behavior by actual teams.
But Peter knows better than us; it must have been the fans that caused the Cavs to spend most of their season with an unbalanced lineup and roster in order to secure the most ping pong balls for LeBron.

GO PACK GO!
So Sister Christian gets the nod
Sister Christian
Oh, the snap has come
And you know
That you're the only one to say
Okay
But it was s'posed to be on two, Sully
Where you going
What are the safeties looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to give up the deep middle
To you
It's Cover 2
CHORUS

What's your price for Hutch
In finding a new left guard
You'll be all right
in Arden Hills

Sister Christian
Where the hell is Sydney Rice
Don't you give it up
Before Berrian has cleared the zone
It's true
That's Matthews coming around left end
Matriculatin'
What's your price for flight
If you book airfare now
For a flight home Sunday night
After Week 17
Matriculatin'
Longwell's got goalposts in his sights
But the laces are turned to the right
Time to talk to the press
And set the record right
About He Who Is Never Blamed
