I am back! The Vikings finally won, the season is saved (for now) and now the Minnesota Vikings have a quarterback controversy. Here is my annual what we learned from yesterdays Vikings game. Hope you enjoy.

Christian Ponder did not practice again today in London for the Minnesota Vikings as they prepare for their home away from home game in London against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. His rib injury was worse than initially thought, giving Matt Cassel the green light to start on Sunday.

Yeah I know it is only the first game, and we have 15 more games to go; but yesterday we saw a quarterback in Christian Ponder who is to scared to throw down field, a quarterback who likes to make what would be an easy catch for his receivers into a life or death situation.
