Stats don't tell the whole story. He's thrown it out of bounds quite a bit. But he got 219 yards off those 13 completions and 2 TDs. He mounted a heck of a comeback and looked on fire for the win had GB not run out the clock. He completed some crazy laser passes on 3rd and 10 or longer backed up in his own end of the field on the run, and he threw a TD pass similar to Cam's to Smith against the Saints to mount a decent comeback at the end. He's putting them on spot in double coverage and across the middle.

Good thing the game's at home.

I also saw him get jumpy and throw some bad balls. 40% completions is just that. 40%. Are you one of those guys who defended Jimmy last year when he went into "check-down or throw it away" mode? Not saying I don't think Ponder is good. But to say he played great is ridiculous. Having a few good throws does not a good QB make. Consistency is what matters. He didn't have it. Never mind the fact that a lot of his yards came on plays after the catch. He threw short. Of course, sometimes that is the right play, but he wasn't really chucking it down field the whole game. He had about 5 or 6 throws where he HAD to throw intermediate/long throws and he did well with them. We just have to keep him in situations where he HAS to pass and we will be fine.

Get pressure, kid freaks.

Ponder was duckin and chuckin, and running for his life on some of those throws. He appears to be an accurate passer when on the run (from the part of the game I saw), and he will likely look to his TE Shiancoe a bunch next week, but what does their D have for the Cam 'n Smitty show? Jared Allen and his mullet? Bring it on, purple pansies.

I don't see our D stopping Peterson

Run game alone can't win. If Peterson gets 200 yards, but Ponder struggles, we still have a shot at winning. Forte gashed us, but the Bears still needed great special teams play and a pick 6 to win. If we can play well in other aspects of the game, we can still win even if Peterson has a big game.
