Peterson fumbles.. AGAIN

[Big Dave2]

I guess it's settled then............AP is the best RB of all time, he has no more fumbling problems than most of the best RBs in history, Robert Smith was half the RB that AP is and the Vikes will win the superbowl.

Jeez I love being right all the time!

I think Chilly should hand him a ball at the begining of practice, and in front of the whole team tell him that any member of the orginazation (coaches, trainers, water boy, whoever) that can take the ball away gets $1,000 out of his pocket. That may be just the motivation the best rusher in the NFL needs to be complete.

All I ask is you use those powers for good. Be hitting you up on a couple of fishing spots later in the year.

I can tell you............for some odd reason my powers have absolutely no effect in the world of hunting and fishing!!!!!

Adrian Peterson first three seasons

1 fumble for every 43 rush attempts

Walter Payton first 3 seasons

1 fumble per 28 rush attempts

any questions?

Ahh sweetness. If AP has a career like his we'll all be happy. I think APs fumbling issues will be drilled into his head constantly from now on. Should have been taken care of earlier though.

Bears should have cut him. He turned out to be horrible

[JBMasterAngler]

Good thing they made the fridge a fullback

[gr8icefishinmind]

Hope you all r watching nfl countdown right now.......cause they are talking about ap and his fumbling problems!!

[Big Dave2]

They also have talked a lot about Brette Favre's interception problem over the years.

[gr8icefishinmind]

obviously you did not see it then

[gr8icefishinmind]

May cost us the game...........

[gr8icefishinmind]

nevermind......it cost us the game!!!

[gr8icefishinmind]

In a big time important game his ability to take it 80 yards might take the vikings to the superbowl.

But it didn't, instead it cost us the game, an important game!!!

OUCH.........

[croixflats]

I think if you look back in this thread his fumble may lead to a lost in a big game. And we were correct and it did. Still would rather have Robert Smith.

OUCH.........

Double Ouch!!!

[koonie]

Just a matter of time until butterfingers cost us a game. What a shame. Still a great back but....

[gregg52]

that was stupid all he had to do was step out of bounds instead

of trying to get another 2 yrds

[gr8icefishinmind]

Big Dave2 is a great football mind though, there is no reason for a feature running back to fix his fumbling problems.........haha yeah right!! Cover up the ball AP......you are a hell of a back but cover up the ball!!!

[Juneau4]

I'd rather have walter Peyton. He only rfumbled 30 times in his first 3 years. How many does Peterson have? 20!

[Big Dave2]

All-Time Great Running Backs Fumbles - First Three Seasons

Jim Brown - 14 (36 gms)

OJ Simpson - 17 (35 gms)

Emmitt Smith - 19 (47 gms)

Walter Payton - 30 (35 gms)

Eric Dickerson - 37 (44 gms)

Tony Dorsett - 28 (44 gms)

Franco Harris - 24 (38 gms)

Marcus Allen - 27 (41 gms)

ADRIAN PETERSON - 19 (41 gms)

Yeah, you guys are right. He'll never be any good!

[croixflats]

You do realize the significance of Peterson's last fumble right?

[zamboni]

Play shoulda been whisteled down with a facemask penalty. Anyone would have fumbeled having their head half twisted off their shoulder like AP just did.

The officiating was HORRIBLE, block to the back on one of those long KRs, should have called it back.

[gr8icefishinmind]

Yup 20, and 1 that LOST us the football because of bad technique!!!

[Big Dave2]

Yep, you guys are right. That loss was obviously AP's fault.

Had nothing to do with the defense giving up 36 points.

Also had nothing to do with poor kick-off coverage.

Also had nothing to do with a missed extra point.

Had nothing to do with Winfield bring burned.

Nope, just APs fumble.

[gr8icefishinmind]

LOTS of faults in this game, but the vikes have the ball in OT in bears territory and he FUMBLES the ball!

I would put that on him...yes!

The defense was on the field wayyyy too much, especially in the first half! When the D plays that many possessions they are bound to give up points!

[gr8icefishinmind]

And yeah, the kickoff coverage was rediculous........what happened??

The only bad technique he had was running the play hard and trying to get yardage.

[gr8icefishinmind]

AND not covering up the ball...which is bad technique whether you are going for extra yards or not! That extra yardage turned into 6 points for the bears by the way.........
