Part of AP's problem is getting to the line too fast.

Rick, I wont disagree with your suggestions, he did need need far more protection than was given.

The best thing the Vikings could do is... was beat the bears to get home field advantage, then wallop the saints in the metrodome and head to Miami on cruise control.

I know the Bears game still gets to me. We would have flat destroyed this team at home. Totally agree with the other post on luck. While it takes alot of talent to win it all in sports it also takes a good deal of luck. The Saints proved that last night. Thats how one and done works though, often times the better team goes home. There is no question the Colts are also a better team than the Saints, but if they gift them the ball a half dozens times like we did they will lose as well.

Wow I think I'm bitter......

Ap Needs a good running backs coach that can teach him technique, not just stand on the sidelines and yell at him!

Are you kidding? This isnt a junior high or even high school kid. AP knows all the technique he just needs to protect the ball when trying to stretch out plays.

Did you know that the great Walter Payton had more fumbles in his first three years in the league than Peterson? Payton had 30 fumbles his first three years compared to AD's 20, not too bad in that respect.

Not that again

Remove all yards from adrians stats during a drives where he fumbled the ball...how many yards are left?? (in the NFC Championship game, and the season) How much play clock was wasted during those drives?

What do you mean Zamroni? Just stating the facts. 2 years ago we don't go to the playoffs with out AD. Once someone can explain to him that he doesn't need to win the game every time he touches the ball I think it will all be fixed. Tiki Barber turned into a pretty good back after his fumblitis. There's no way the Vikes should ever entertain the thought of trading AD.

Get a kicker that can put the ball in the endzone on the kickoffs like most teams do to us! Longwell is a good field goal kicker just would like to see more booted in the endzone!Could be wrong but it seems like we give up one big return a game! As far as RB you don't game plan to stop Taylor but you do AP! If you are worried about the rb it can open things up.Sorry , Chester is a good back but he is just not AP!

Couldnt agree more with ya.....I cringe everytime Longwell boots it to the 15 yardline, 10 if he's lucky. They have to address this during the offseason.

We need to replace Madookie Williams with a safety that can hit and tackle
