Re: Injury News
Any news on AP? Anyone want to go out on a limb and say he plays this weekend?
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson plans to practice this week and is aiming for a week 16 return vs Green Bay. Hasn't played since week 2.
Hope the field is decent that week.
I would think that a dome would be an easier start.

Re: Injury News
I just read AD said the only way he plays anymore this season is if the get in the playoffs. Maybe Rick can find some kind og running back by then. I know our line has some serious suckage, but MckInnon should be used as a different type of back and Asiata should go back to bagging groceries or whatever he was doing before Rick spotted him. I just kidding, I have no idea who saw Asiata. He is/was good at one thing, that short fast screen pass.
Re: Injury News
Was just thinking, if Adrian returns on Christmas eve, he will be returning on the same day that he tore his ACL 5 years ago.

Re: Injury News
Hard to speculate, and I don't like to, but, I would bet he is experiencing something along the lines of chondromalacia or an osteochondral defect. Neither are good physiological issues to be dealing with.Thaumaturgist wrote:Floyd on IR for the year.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have seen the last of Shariff Floyd as a Viking.

The Vikings designated Adrian Peterson for return from injured reserve, and announced Peterson will practice... es.pn/2gJ8kW6

He's a once-in-a-lifetime player. We can only hope he's the spark that ignites this team...halfgiz wrote:The Vikings designated Adrian Peterson for return from injured reserve, and announced Peterson will practice... es.pn/2gJ8kW6

Re: Injury News
His return in and of itself is unlikely to hurt, unless it causes our OC and QB to reverse the modest positive changes of late. In theory AP's presence should create opportunities for the passing game but it has rarely worked that way in reality. Perhaps that's because we've had quarterbacks who were unable to take advantage of it, I guess we'll find out. Bradford has the skills to take advantage of those opportunities IMO, but he has also shown the ability to be a checkdown charlotte. If they expect AP to carry the team we're in for a long, unbearable 3 game stretch.5thWave wrote: He's a once-in-a-lifetime player. We can only hope he's the spark that ignites this team...
We are Vikings. I will hope for the best but expect the worst, or expect that our "best" will only be a slightly different flavor of the status quo. Which isn't very good.

Re: Injury News
Most excited I've been then season since week 5. Glad to hear the cries for McKinnon have stopped as I knew they would. I have full faith that a.p will play good enough when he gets back to prove his value for this team and how bad they need him. Let him go an by the time we "rebuild" Smith will be retired.5thWave wrote: He's a once-in-a-lifetime player. We can only hope he's the spark that ignites this team...

More than likely, in true Vikings fashion he will storm in the last three games, run for 780 yards, 8 TDs, lead a three game winning, but we will miss the playoffs, hell receive a monstrous extension this offseason... Then never break 80 yards in a game again.

Re: Injury News
Sounds about right. We are all about mortgaging the future for mediocrity. Its been one near constant in the history of this franchise.IrishViking wrote:
