Vikes/Atlanta

[Scott K]

Just checked, and Vegas has the Vikes favored by 3 against Atlanta. I think this will be a tough game for the Vikes, they match up well against us. I think it will be a close game, but I dont think it will be in favor of the Vikes.

Atlanta 20-17

I was close! I think if the Bears win tonight, the Vikes will win next week to win the division.

[jltimm]

The queens should win, the Giants have nothing to play for.

[Scott K]

I agree, but if the Packers win tonight, the Vikes wouldnt either.

[Fishing_High]

Don't see the Packers winning tonight there season has been played out the opposite of us. I think they are playing for draft positioning tonight, but it sure would be nice to back into the playoffs go give some players with injuries a break next week.

Unbelieveable, where are all the bench AP statements? I figured as hard as we go down on the QBs, what about the running backs! LOL

My wife who is probably a bigger Vikes fan than any of us in here uttered those words yesterday and I had to agree with her. Chester does very well when given a chance and Adrian was killing too many drives. She wasn't advocating benching him for the game or seaon but she wanted a message sent and she was probably right.

Chestnut set the tone for us, when he muffed the kickoff in the endzone, all I thought to myself was ahh carp. Here we go. Then he does it again. Like I said before, WE will learn from that game. Just like the Giants learned from week 17 last year.

I was a little confused that chester didnt get a few more carries too. Maybe sit AP down for a drive and let him relax. Those fumbles obviously got in his head and he just looked rattled out there the last quarter or so.

[Hammer Handle]

You guys are funny. Complaining the AP wasn't playing enough...now it is Chester.

Wow.

Will we ever be happy??

[walleyes12]

To be fair when there was "complaining" about not enough playing time, AP wasn't dropping the football everyother touch!

[Wadinator]

AP should sit a quarter for every time he fumbles, whether or not we recover it.

I'd like to see Tjack stuff a handoff up AD's rectum.

[FISHINGURU]

yeah lets bench the star player that has 1657 rushing yards on 342 attempts and has lost 4 fumbles in 15 games!!! the last time he lost one was week 6...that will teach him not to run like that!!!

[Wadinator]

Its frustrating to watch our star player suddenly contract a case of fumblitus.

But "4 fumbles in 15 games"? Really? I swear he almost had that many just last week, and two or three the week before against the Lions.

Maybe you're just counting "turnovers".

Hopefully the coaches have AD tucking a football high and tight all week long in practice, the weight room, in bed at night, while on the phone talking to his momma, while shaving, etc...

[bucketmouth64]

AP does not secure the ball well when he goes thru the line. He always has one hand on the ball and many times he extends his arm exposing the ball to be be stripped. He and the coaches need to address the issue before it really gets out of hand or he starts to develop a reputation of being a fumbler. Seems like he coughs up the ball at most inopportune time. Then he tries too much to make up for it and fumbles again. He seems to think (my opinion) that if he breaks the big one all is forgotten. Last I heard he wasn't leading the league in TD's. Vikes should contact Tiki Barber and have him give AP some advice on ball security.

[FISHINGURU]

4 fumbles lost in 15 games...8 fumbles total carrying the ball 342 times...what a disgrace lol

maybe we wouldn't notice it as much if the whole offense didn't have to depend on what he does.

sorry but the guy has carried the ball 600 times in his career and has fumbled 12 times and 7 fumbles for a turnover.

no one seems to mind when he's crushing down defenders and breaking big ones holding the ball sloppy.

[Rick]

Well said FISHINGGURU. Everyone has a bad day now and then.

[LMITOUT]

Everyone has a bad day now and then.

Apparently he has those days more often than the rest of the league.

Are you saying that no one else in the league has more bad days than AP?

[LMITOUT]

Not according to his fumble stats in which he leads the league.

That's a lot of bad days.

[Rick]

7 lost fumbles on 600 carries leads the league?

I would say his bad day on Sunday certainly leads the league.

[ole]

i suppose we'll be talking about this until 2 a days start up again?

ole

[Rick]

Now that would suck

[Sandmannd]

He's still a great back and I agree with Fishinguru. He carries the team. I don't like that he fumbles like that, but that isn't the constant with him.
