Peterson chasing the record

If Peterson breaks the record, he might be holding on to that for many many years. Johnson's record, while still very impressive, I believe will be short lived. He might even break it himself next year. I think with the pass happy offenses and unfair penalties to defenses, 2,000 yard receivers might become as common as 4,000 yard QB's.

Johnson will fall short next week. Bears slow him down again.

ya i was hoping for O.T too but now ill just be forever bitter that they dident let A.P finish last week. Oh well at least we have a shot at ending greenbays season next week. But Green bay will most def have the advantage playing at home. Ponder played about as good as he ever will today. but ya never know i guess. I Think beefeater was the only guy who saw ponder leading the vikes ta the playoffs.

He's definitely a guy that can turn a typical RBs -4 run into a 20+ break.. It's phenomenal what he does and how many defenders are literally scared of tackling him.. There were a few plays that could have been made where defenders thought twice about trying to tackle AP

Think back to those first few weeks when he had those runs he "usually" bust loose and goes for the long td. If he was 100% healthy all yr that record would have been dismantled.

There's no denying that AP is going to break a couple records before he hangs it up

I wasn't on board with awarding Peterson the MVP trophy unless the Vikings made the playoffs, as I feel that distinction should mean more than just a pile of stats on a losing team.

Now that the Vikings are in we can say MVP-eterson.

LMIT I am concerned about your health! However I do believe you are right he deserves the award.

I'm sure Dickerson is smiling tonight but like a previous comment said had Adrian been 100% at the beginning of the year this record would have been destroyed. In the first 6 games of the year he had one 100 yard game! The fact is this was the best year ever by any running back if you look at yards per carry and the number of attempts to get the yards.

Great season for Peterson, it was tough to see him get so close. Imagine if Peterson was playing in 1984 when average 40 yard dash times were, what 5.0? And average lineman and linebacker weight was what, 240? He's shredding guys today that are bigger and faster, he'd be like Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson in 1984. Dickerson can thank his lucky stars tonight's game didn't go to overtime and that AD got 31 less carries in 2012 than Mr. Fourth Quarter got in '84.

4 fumbles with 2 lost all year, Peterson's come a long ways with that. 2012 Peterson put back on the 2009 would have been pretty sweet; slightly better runner without the fumbles. 14 fumbles for Dickerson in 1984.

just imagine if the the vikes pull out a miracle and win 4 more consecutive games giving ponder a ring. Might be the worst quarterback ever ta get one. I say the vikes got a shot. I think if they can get passed the packers, i think they could beat atlanta and i know they can beat the 49ers. SUPERBOWL BAAAAAAAAAAAABY. Id love ta watch the vikes ta a stab at denver or the pats in febuary.

Should win MVP in a landslide considering his QB play this year.....

AP should be in the conversation for MVP, no doubt, HOWEVER on the biggest most important play in the last few yrs for the Vikings, 3 and 11 with just a couple of minutes left was he on the field?

One can say that 3rd down plays are always the most crucial plays in every game, how many 3rd down plays is AP on the field for? How is a player MVP if he is not good enough to play in all situations?

Well considering he's a running back and it was 3rd and 11, he's probably not going to get the ball. Why would the run the ball when they absolutely NEED 11 yards to win or probably lose the game. Screen pass maybe, but not in that situation. Then you have Toby a good blocking rb who was on the bench the whole drive. Why not put in a fresh rb to block?

When do you expect Peterson to rest? He's been on the field for 3rd downs more this year then any other year, 3rd and long we use Toby.

Who busted a nice run at the end of the game to get well into field goal range for the win?

Peterson and Manning for C0-MVP. They should also share the come back player of the year award.

Manning walked in to a playoff winning team this year, a team that was winning with Tebow. He has had an outstanding year but so have other QB's in a league that has become set up for QB's to thrive and have big numbers. Peterson took a bottom dwelling team and carried them on his back to the playoffs while having the best year a running back has maybe ever had. Will other QB's ever have a year like Manning has this year? Most certainly. Will a running back ever have a season like Adrian just did? Maybe not. Sure hope he doesn't get robbed of the award.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
