Maybe the Crow was Just an Appetizer not an Entre

[Shaggy]

Peterson shot his wad last week. We're seeing the "real" 2017 edition of AD now. Nobody should have eaten crow after one good half of football. I predicted he'd last 2 games before getting cut. I've now pushed that back to 3.

He is not getting cut this season for sure..

Well BA regressed in his pass addiction but the Rams shut his big mouth down this game. Fact is our defense stunk up all of London. But it was hard to smell over the stench of our offense. Lucky it wasn’t 100 to 0

Oh AP -some games are like that through 11 carries - especially run stop built defenses like the Rams - but you got to preserver like a grown ass playcaller to overcome that.

yep, custom built to stop the run, rated 28th in the league, but 'custom built' to stop the run. Please, Thesmel. AP id just a good HB .... CJ 2K was a good HB (better than any other HB on our roster) but the O-LINE SUCKS.... 2 quarters when AP runs wild does not change that.. Give CJ2K the same performance and he runs wild... this team sucks because the coaches suck... get used to it ....

 

[Dude]

Because the o-line, which played beyond their capabilities for 2 quarters last week, reverted to form ?

They played much better.

Last week CJ2K would have had that yardage with those holes (holes that were totally non-existent, until those 2 quarters).

No he would not have. AP can still get yards after contact CJ can't.

And Cj2K would have done the same nothing Peterson did after the line got back to being who they really are and have been coached to be.

He only ran it 11 times you have no clue.

AP is just a good running back.,

Something CJ no longer was.

yup... 11 carries, 21 yards.... 1.9 average... he is ONLY as good as his line (as are most RBs) my clues are right there, on screen, you don't have to be a genius... you must be one of those 'AP is here, the season is saved' guys. I guess that .8 to .9 yds after contact is important to you...

get over it, Palmer is done, AP is just another running back, the line sucks, special teams suck, the defense sucks bad, Badger should retire... if DJ comes back he will do nothing (except in the pass game and every 2cd pass Stanton sends his way will be an int) ...

otherwise, he gets stuffed at the line, the line that can't make a hole a mouse can go thru .... oh, wait, they had that glorious 2 Qs against TB.
Every other team is looking at first 2 Qs against second half of that game (TB game) and preparing to snuff us (and they will)... no one will even look at the RAMS game tape, because they will prepare for the best we could possibly ever do (not that we can duplicate that in the slightest)

it's ALL coaching, of which we have none ... the sooner I see BA and his posse gone, the better (and I certainly hope that as Keim holds the door open for Bruce Arrogants to leave, and that Bidwill then pushes Keim out the door also. It's about time we get some actual professional management around here...

and don't bother mentioning the 'big' seasons... the entire league is onto these charlatans and we will NOT win again this year... (at least we WILL get a good draft pick)

look at the FREAKIN RAMS... cleaned house, got competent coaching and (save for a better LT) they are a juggernaut... and please don't argue that, they competently dismantled us...

AP would have had a better chance if they’d have run him along the line letting him select his hole. His strength let’s him break through arm tackles. Running straight ahead behind poor drive blocks is silly. Using influence blocks and hitting holes filled by LBs would have improved AP’s total. Of course it could never have made a difference in this game.

I will not retract my crow eating.

Peterson's game against the Bucs is something I still do not believe would happen. I thought Peterson wouldn't gain more than 15 yards in that game, thus I earned my crow.

Adrian Peterson is not the problem here. Kinda hard to run when your starting QB goes down in the 2nd quarter when the game is still 6-0.

Agree but rams line is strong
