Yeah, those 8 and 9 man boxes Peterson creates have nothing to do with it. It's all Favre.

AP faced the same pressure in 2008 with Tarvaris Jackson at QB that he is facing right now with Brett Favre at QB. You'd think with the way Favre has beenplaying this year, AP wouldn't draw so much attention but teams STILL fear Peterson more than Favre so they continue to stack 8-9 guys in the box.Difference is...he's just not routinely getting positive yardage like he was in 2008, which is why the whole situation is pretty troubling.
Is he still having a good year statistically? Yeah.
But check this:
In the Seattle game a couple of weeks ago, AP's runs went like this in terms of yardage:
2, 1, 0, 2, -2, 0, -2, 31, 3, 1....
That's been the story the whole season, and it's just been very frustrating. If you only look at his season stats, you're not going to be able tosee any of that.
Peterson is definitely NOT a non-factor like Marley was suggesting, because he certainly draws a lot of attention which opens up things for Favre, but he isnot producing at a consistent rate which means Favre is depended on far more than anyone had planned.
He's just gotta work through this...the fumbles AND the inconsistency.

If Arizona pulls this game out, I can finally watch Sportscenter on a Sunday w/o having to watch Berman and Jackson put on their weekly Favre slurpfest.

Why are we still punting with nine minutes left in the 4th quarter down by 17?

Anyway, I haven't seen anything tonight to make me believe we can make up 17 points in one quarter w/o letting up any points on the other side.
And as I'm typing this, we get lined up to punt.
Still haven't seen anything yet?

Fair enough, I haven't seen every single Vikings game so I can't act like I've seen everything he's done this year. Do you think it's moreon him or his offensive line? You can't expect a RB to bust off for 5 yards each and every run (see Chris Johnson), but they should at least maintain apositive rate of some sort. The fumbles are VERY concerning, but I have a feeling that those have to do with his running style (which I've said in the pastscares the crap outta me).
*shrugs* He seems like the AP I've watched since his college days, but maybe I'm just blinded because I admire his talent/ability.
(btw, I've had entirely too much to drink tonight so if what I say comes off as "*$$" then go ahead and let me know... I'll try to claify)

This game is why I hate our coach. I haven't seen any halftime adjustments and our prior possession is 4-down territory as far as I'm concerned.

Holy $#*! did anyone else see what just happened to the Vikings LB? His leg looked like it was partly disconnected at the knee and sort of dangling a bit.
Hope dude is OK. I think it was EJ Henderson.

I'm not judging, but I think overall it's garbage now. Plus you can look up anything you want to see on the web, minus commercials and cornypunchlines.
BTW, that injury was
