Adrain Peterson - continues to go nuts

[Patler]

13/119 - in the first half. 82 yard TD.

[red]

Well, theres the 1huge game he needed

Now he just needs 2 average by his standard games for the record

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'm still a Walter Payton is the best RB ever guy, but AP is closing that gap in a hurry. Unreal.

[denverYooper]

212 yards. Who needs a QB?

[RashanGary]

He needs 150 YPG in the next 2 games to break the record. He's averaging 130/game, but seems to get better every week.

In a big Minny win Vs The RAMS as they continue to surprize.

Adrian Peterson had 24 carries for 212 yds and 1 TD today leaving him 294 shy of breaking the NFL's single-season mark of 2,105 set by Eric Dickerson of the Los Angeles Rams in 1984. He has two more games left to break this record. In week 16 'the Vikings' are @ Houston and at home Vs 'the PACKERS' in Week 17.

Since week 9 or over the last six weeks. AP has averaged 172.33 yards /game on 138 carries or an average of 23 carries /game and an average of 7.49 yards /carry.

In a recent Poll nearly 75% of NFL fans believe he will 'in fact' exceed this long standing record.

St. Louis’ run defense is mediocre. It entered this week’s action surrendering 114.4 rushing yards a contest or 13th in the NFL.

Houston’s 'D' will be Peterson’s greatest obstacle, as it ranks second Vs the run. Green Bay’s 'D' may make up for Houstons strength and as you'll recall. AP rushed for 210 yards against our 'D' in Lambeau Field.

Congratulations to the GREEN BAY PACKERS for winning the NFCN today defeating the chicago BEARS.

GO PACKERS !

Man, am I glad we don't have to beat Minny to win the division. They have a god awful QB, but their D can play in spurts and the AP can carry the offense. Why does Ponder have to throw for 200+ yards when AP can crack off an 82 yard TD run?

I watched that game today and AP IMO was held back again. If HC Frazier allows this horse to go he will smash the record. He's a very talented RB. One of the very best all time.

Not worried about winning, worried only about highlights forevermore of him breaking record with tumbling packers in the highlights.

[Guiness]

Minnesota's in the thick of the playoff hunt, I wonder if that will hurt his chances of getting the record? If they were out of it, they might just feed him the ball and get him the record, but with a playoff berth on the line, they'll have to have a more viable plan than that.

Of course, the way the passing offense has been, that could well be the most viable offense they have.

This is the NFL, not the NCAA where teams like Wisconsin can win games by running the ball 100 times a game with godawful qbs like Brooks Bollinger at the helm.

Oh, com'on, it would be a nice bookend to the highlights of Walter Payton leaping into the endzone as he destroyed the Packers throughout the '70's.

Randall Cobb:

964 KOR yards
892 Receiving yards
253 PR yards
132 Rushing yards

2241 total yards 8 TD's.

So why is ESPN lobbying for some purple slimer for MVP?

The purple slimer has 1812 yards rushing and 211 yards receiving.
That's only 2023 yards; 10% less than Cobb.

Aaron Rodgers leads the league in QB rating and currently 2nd in TD passes with 32. He has 3588 passing yards and 248 rushing for 3836 total yards. He has 90% more yards than that purple slimer.

Why would ESPN lobby for some unproductive purple slimer nobody who can't get his team above an 8 win .500 season?

Nobody gives a shit about all purpose yards. It is yards from scrimmage that matter. A running back needs an offensive line to do their job, a qb needs an offensive line and receivers to do there job. There is a reason why 2000 yards is the holy grail to NFL rushers, and why a qb needs to 5000 yards passing.

On top of going for 2000 yard the guy had his knee reconstructed 365 days ago. That is unbelievable. It is sad to see fans with your mind set. It demonstrates what the NFL has become. A boring passing league with QBs putting up video game numbers every year. Respect the run

[Tony Oday]

AP is just padding his stats like AR.


Cobb really? Cmon.
