NewbieJr 541 Posted December 29, 2009 As great as Peterson can be, he is the worst fumbler in the NFL. (Or is the best?) They should have had Chester Taylor in there in that situation. It's not like Taylor sucks, and he knows how to protect the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrGonzo 1 Posted December 29, 2009 I was wondering if that fumble would hurt anybody. Sucks to be you. I needed Matt forte to stay under 10 points to win it all. and he did... enjoy 2nd place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like Taylor sucks, and he knows how to protect the ball. They also should have had Tavaris Jackson in because he has less interceptions than Favre.

Career Totals Chester Taylor: Rushes 1021 Fumbles 17 Adrian Peterson: Rushes 906 Fumbles 20 Taylor was already an active participant in the game. Big difference from switching QBs. Peterson's a fumbling machine this year. In overtime, turnovers are deadly, as one score and it's over. If Taylor had been in there, Vikes win the game and they get home field and #2 seed.

Maybe Favre should have been kicking extra points because he has not missed one all season. Scratch that, his entire career!! He probably should have been covering Devin Aromashodu also.

remote controller 133 Posted December 29, 2009 AD knows his fumble lost the game. I feel sorry for him. He needs to address this right away the way Tiki did. Ahman Green also had to adjust his style to hold onto the ball better. This is a big problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PATSSOX 22 Posted December 29, 2009 i entered last nights game up by 29 points and watched Peterson get about 20 pts in second half and almost had a heart attack. That fumble made me feel just a little safer and the Cutler TD made me feel real good cause he ended with 24 pts i think and me the champion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RamslovaMartzhata 3 Posted December 29, 2009 I actually started a thread on this in a forum on another website... this has been a problem that he has had his whole career. I went on to state that in my opinion, in real world football... Adrian Peterson is not an Elite running back because of his ball security issues. Good or very great... absolutely. But Elite = the very best... and I knock him down a notch because of these issues. I'd take 4.24, MJD, and DeAngelo ahead of him... primarily because of Peterson's ball-security issues.

LordOpie 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Your butter hands managed to cost me a championship. I lost the Super Bowl by 2 points. Keep up the good work you're a douche. Did anyone happen to notice that AP was fouled? His lid was twisted via a facemask. Was that enough to make him lose just enough concentration to allow the other defender to punch the ball out? I don't know, I'm not an NFL RB having my head twisted. Either way, AP needs some slack here and the refs need a little chastising as a flag would've reversed the fumble.

He better start addressing it or he's going to be the greatest running back ever who coaches can't trust with the ball. He single-handedly cost Minnesota the game and potentially home field advantage. Quit making excuses for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has this happened for every fumble this year or do you have 19 other excuses for why the other fumbles weren't his fault either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidbostonisgood 2 Posted December 30, 2009 Aaron Rodgers 4200 yards, 33 TDs, 7 Ints ...................... thread over. BOOM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OakHeadFootball 1 Posted December 30, 2009 He single-handedly cost Minnesota the game. Single handedly? No, not even close LaDainian Tomlinson: Rushes - 2,878 Fumbles - 19 AP definitely has fumbling issues. That is not up for debate. Saying Chester is suddenly some ball control guru and should have been in instead is a different matter. Aaron Rodgers 4200 yards, 33 TDs, 7 Ints ...................... thread over.BOOM This brings up another point that has bothered me, why do QB's seemingly get off the hook so much easier concerning turnovers? Maybe it is just recent history stuck in my head but it seems like coaches are far quicker to bench a fumbling runningback as opposed to a INT chucking QB. I mean when you boil it all down a turnover is a turnover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like Taylor sucks, and he knows how to protect the ball. This is very profound...is he the WORST or the BEST fumbler in NFL history.....sort of like the "chicken and the egg" conundrum, or the "trees in the woods" deal ! Very profound !

FeelingMN 273 Posted December 30, 2009 Does AD need to hang onto the ball better? Absolutely! But the fumble on Monday Night was actually a god play by Hillenmeyer....dude punched it out as AD was going down....so you have to give that guy some credit for making a play rather than AD focking up. And to blame that fumble on your loss is beyond clueless....odds are you're nowhere near competitve without the points he scored up to that point. Dumb.

Sho Nuff 720 Posted December 30, 2009 Ahman Green had issues too...and before some laugh at the comparison remember Green's seasons in 2001-2004. Not far off of what Peterson has done the past 2 years...but a little more reception heavy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeelingMN 273 Posted December 30, 2009 Another thing AD needs to work on is going out of bounds when appropriate rather than fighting for an extra yard or two. On the play where he fumbled, if he just goes to the sidelines, he gets the first, retains possession, and possibly enables the Vikes to march down the field for a much needed win. Sometimes the best play is just to take what the defense gives you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
