Peterson is off the chain... Blair Walsh, too.

Defense played great in the 1st half, need to figure out how to play 2 halves though.
He didnt do anything today? So you gotta hand it to him? He overthrew more balls then he completed. Hes a big fat turd.

#Vikings aren't exposing Adrian Peterson down the stretch here. So, it appears he'll enter Week 16 needing 293 yards to pass Eric Dickerson.
He got 200+ against the 13th ranked defense, what can he do against the 3rd ranked defense in Houston

Totally agree. Though, we were playing softer defense in the 2nd half to kill time.

He didn't throw the game away. I call that a good day with Ponder.

147 yards per game in the last two games and Adrian Peterson eclipses Eric Dickerson for most yards in a 16 game season. I wouldn't bet against him. :rock:

I just hate so much that Manning will probably be MVP. The broncos were ALREADY good last year. The Vikings won 3 games last year. Adrian Peterson deserves the MVP so far, but payton will get it because he is a QB and his team made the playoffs. °barf°

Nah, we know what doo doo this team would be without Peterson. I can't see him getting robbed by Manning.

How about this.... a QB can change plays at the line/audible, which Manning does all the time. What can a RB do? Just RUN.
AD deserves this MVP.

I guarantee you if AD breaks 2000+ without breaking dickersons record, and the Vikes miss the playoffs, Manning will get it.

No offense to Manning, he's had an incredible year but the rules have changed to make it very favorable for the passing game. Maybe if all his receivers were triple covered every play, as AD has to play against 9-man fronts all game.

How pathetic is this vikings organization that AD is all we have on offense. And PH when hes healthy. I just cant believe a NFL team could let that happen. AD is god, so we are in the playoff hunt. other then that, wow.

Who drinks a shot when Blair Walsh gets a field goal, 2 for 50? The game was suggested to me. Didn't have shots, so did a beer/2 beers every time.

Heres my final opinion....
If AD fails to break Dickerson's record he will not when MVP. Payton will.

And I hate it so much.
