are you sure you want our defense on the field that much? I dont. they cant cover a crack in the cement let alone an opposing WR.

We need to run to slow things down. Long drives are what we killed teams with early in the season. We dont do that anymore.

I dont get it.

I’m totally stumped at this team’s sudden ineptitude.

The fumbles make him just not worth it. He cost us a huge game last night and there is no reason to think he won’t continue to do so throughout the playoffs. Factor in his utter disappearance the last several games and you have a player who just isn’t worth the hype. His worshipers will cry foul and say retarded things like “No way – if you say that you just prove how dumb you are…blah, blah, blah” but he’s the fumbler, he still refuses to do simple things to protect the ball and at the rate he’s going, will fall to like the 6-7th (or worse) on the rushing leaderboard.

Just not the RB you want to have for a playoff bound team.

Let’s switch things up, make CT our primary and go from there. He can catch passes FAR better and by the looks of it, can roll off good chunks of yardage nearly every time. Something Peterson can’t do as consistently.

I’m done rooting for AD’s fumbling ass and hopefully the Vikings will bench his royal lameness in favor of a player who can protect the football. \:(

lets the ball bounce off his hands and into a defenders (see Steelers game).

2000 Baltimore Ravens – Totally a pass team, I forgot! Trent Dilfer lobbing it up to Qadry Ismail and Travis Taylor. Perfection.

2001 Patriots – Even though they had Tom Brady, he was still young and inexperienced here, and was throwing to Troy Brown and David Patten. Antowain Smith (RB) had almost 1,200 yards rushing. You can argue they were a balanced offense.

2002 Tampa Bay Bucs – With Warrick Dunn and Mike Alstott in the backfield, and Brad Johnson at the helm of the offense, do we even need to debate what their offensive philosophy was?

2005 Pittsburgh Steelers – Willie Parker had over 1400 total yards, and the only receiving threat they had was Hines Ward. The younger version of Rothles-douche didn’t go out guns a blazin’, he simply he didn’t lose those games.

So… you were saying?

This team clearly performs better in a spread offense, both running and passing. Even the MNF crew recognized it last night. CT manages to get a few yards through trash when AD tends to get nothing. But with more room, AD is the far better runner. For some reason he hasn’t been given the opportunity as often recently (until the second half last night). While I’ve been unhappy with Peterson’s fumbles, I don’t see the OT fumble last night as Peterson’s fault. It was simply a great defensive play.

This post is correct….The pass set up the run, simple…We say.." we need to go out and establish the run" they stack the box, demolish that theory…Then we get the pass going and Low and behold….gaps open up and we are moving the chains…How does it take this million dollar collective football mind "coaching’ 3 quarters to figure that out…..its embarrassing……..I hate to compare, but that is why the Eagles are competative every year……You NEVER see Andy Reids team get out coached like we do……HUH

At every level fumblers eventually get benched. Pop Warner, Middle-school, High school varsity, NCAA Div. anything, and Pro.

Ernest Byner comes to mind. AP choked. Plain & simple. You notice he wasnt offering any lame excuse about “just let me keep getting the ball & I’ll quit fumbling”. Nope. He was, and I quote, “sick”.

He knows he’s got a problem. And now the whole world is on to it. Too bad he’s such a physical beast cause’ when he runs he’s scary. You want a young stud like that ramming in to people.

But if the “kid from Caddyshack” Hunter “I have a supermodel’s name” Hillenmeyer can just punch the ball out at will…….houston, we have problems.

and Brett Favre will throw picks. Oh wait… If we can get Favre to stop throwing picks we can get AD to stop giving up fumbles. I’m all for you running people over, keep getting that last yard good times! But here it is, when you are in traffic, and you have people all over you and your trying to eek out that last 3/4 of an inch wrap that ball up baby! Two hands two arms! Hold it tight! You cannot one arm the football in the NFL when your being tackled I don’t care who you are.
