Steven Jackson, Chris Johnson, and some other backs see a lot of 8 man fronts as well and they don't have Peterson's problems. He's a solid back that can have a huge game or break a long run at any time, but there's at least 5 backs I'd take over him, if not more.

Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson, Justin Fargas, Michael Bush and Darren McFadden?

You think Jackson sees a lot of 8 man fronts when they are down 20 most of the game?

OK so Jackson, Johnson and who else would you take Im VERY curious?

Off the top of my head Jones-Drew and DeAngelo Williams. Ray Rice is creeping up there as well. I'd be tempted.

That's like saying that aside from Jake Delhomme's propensity to throw picks, he's an amazing QB

Are you sure you arent talking about fantasy football? C'mon Ray Rice and Deangelo over the RB who has more yards over his first 3 years than any back in history other than Dickerson.

Yes, over the guy who the last 3 years has DVOAs of 20, 22, 5 and and DYARs of 13, 17, 4.

I'll take a consistent RB that's a threat in the passing game and doesn't fumble over an all or nothing RB with fumble problems.

You do that. I'll take AP.

FYI Deangelo isnt a threat catching the ball either. Hes probably the back most similiar to AP in the game actually. They are both home run hitters. IMO AP is quite a bit better at getting the tough yardage though.

What a complete disaster this game was. Get two lineman injured and the middle linebacker who is critical to their defense. I dont think this result could have been any worse.

Well my Cards are doing their Jekyll and Hyde act against this season. Will the real Cardinals defense please stand up? Obviously a big win for us against a very hot team after that demoralizing end to the Titans game last week. Hope Warner's hip is okay as he was limping pretty bad at the end.

Went from a showdown for first place game against SF next week to a possible clinching of the division with a win and a Seattle loss I believe. Not too shabby there Cardinals.

Seems to be at least two of these per game lately.

Just got back from a trip to Miami for the Pats game. What a wonderful experience. I have to admit I was worried when they went down 14-0 early, but they fought back and made key plays when it mattered (4th down stops, End zone INT's). Loved the atmosphere of the stadium.

And then in the MNF a PI call that wasn't a PI call.

I swear, the refs get the PI call wrong the most in the NFL(aside from missing a hold on almost every play...)

Another PI.

3rd one of the game, I think.

And then a stupid pick by Flacco, his second.

I heard 2000 was a strong possibility Im not sure who said 3000. It might have something to do with Favre having such a good season that they dont need to run Peterson 30 times a game this year. AP is the same back as he has always been nothing has changed except they added a solid QB.

Not sure about that. Over the last six games he's only broken 4 ypc once, a stellar 7.4 against Detroit. His rush counts in those other five games have been 18, 25, 24, 25, and 13. I certainly wouldn't panic as Vikings fan, but I'd want the coaching staff to figure out why AP has been considerably less effective over the last few games.

And another stupid PI called, this time on the offense. Woodson's momentum took him too far, Mason hardly did anything. I haven't watched the whole game but there has been at least 5 or 6 PIs.. Three of them were really bad.

Is that on top of the epic Bears/Rams tilt Sunday? Yeesh, I felt dumber watching those two offensive coordinators. It was as if they had made a bet about who could call the least aggressive game plan and still win against the opposing crappy defense/team.
