Peterson misses bus

Post by Sutsgold »

Did the Peterson missing the bus to the game incident have any impact on the team this past Sunday? Did it show off a lack of authority Frazier may or may not possess? Is there a double standard? Did the guys show up with a lack of focus knowing that there is a situation going on? Team dynamics play a big part of winning. Dont get me wrong, Peterson is one of my favorite players. Wear his jersey every week. Im just curious if this is not uncovering some other type of things going on behind the scenes. He certainly ran like he had something to prove vs chicago. He was a beast. Id be curious to hear what you guys up in the twin cities are hearing about this or other team dynamic issues.

Wow if AD missing the bus had ANY impact on the outcome of this game then I would be amazed :roll:

I'm just going off memory but I think Peterson was in on the first play from scrimmage. It was an empty set but I think Ponder waved Peterson out wide. If my memory isn't failing me then I doubt it had an impact as coaches will usually sit players the first series or so if they're trying to punish them.
