go AD. OU Cowboy fans are pansisauraus rex.

Minny sucks though.

[StormySooner-IN]

go AD. OU Cowboy fans are pansisauraus rex.:D


I'll be watching this one on GAmecast. Derned Bears.:mad: (except the Sooners on them);)

[tommieharris91]

Bears will lose again. Being interested in a Vikings vs Cowboys game just doesn't feel right to me.

[Newbomb Turk]

the vikes showed little resistance there.

[85sooners]

romo on fire

[Newbomb Turk]

Usually when AD returns the kick, he is not in at RB.

[King Crimson]

Minnesota sucks.

i'm sad for AD

[King Crimson]

as a denver guy, not a bronco fan, i have to laugh every time i see Wade Phillips.

[Newbomb Turk]

AD

nice TD Run!

[tommieharris91]

Well AD just scored.

[King Crimson]

All Day.

[SoonerBOI]

Peterson is the man!

[janderson255]

Man.... AD is unstoppable!

[soonernation]

Minnesota sucks.

i'm sad for AD



I can see a Barry Sanders type of career for AD. Hall of Fame numbers on a ****ty team.

[tulsaoilerfan]

AD looked pretty good on that drive; why is Childress still starting Taylor?

[OUmillenium]

Wow, I am a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan but all I can do is cheer for AD. Sweet TD run!

[janderson255]

could you imagine if AD played at OU this year.... ***shaking my head***

[Newbomb Turk]

:confused: That makes no sense.

[SoonerBOI]

Vikes = no passing game. Go AD!

[Newbomb Turk]

didn't say it made sense - just the way it is.

son of a b! - Tom Brady is on fire.

Pass: 21/25/0/354 TD: 6 (30,2,35,50,14,16)

I would say so. That guy is simply amazing this year.

[Newbomb Turk]

I like Marion Barber, but sometimes he does some stupid things giving ground.

[sooneron]

I think it's smart. Too many rookie qb s have been overused in their first year and have gotten beat up or burned out too soon. AD is prolly still not all the way back from the collarbone. Calcium comes back stronger, but it takes time. Childress is going with the smart play here. And it's working as far as production from the running game is concerned.

[GrapevineSooner]

And by qb, I think ron meant rb. ;)

I work with a dude that is in a fantasy league where they did an autodraft - he got Peyton and Brady, so he traded Brady. Not a good trade in retrospect.

I agree. A 16 week regular season can wear out anyone. Having two serviceable running backs in the NFL is a must. Plus AD is a rookie and still has a ton of learning even though he has been better than advertised so far.

[Sooner Among The Pack]

Peterson just threw a tremendous block on TRRW.

[GrapevineSooner]

Speaking of fantasy leagues, we did a live draft.

I picked last in the first round and first in the second round. So I took Bush and AD with my back-to-back picks.

After I took AD, somebody else said that pick was a stretch. :)

[mikeb]

Give AD the ball...........

[tulsaoilerfan]

3 plays and AD doesn't see the ball once; that's really great play calling there.

[Sooner Among The Pack]

They went with Taylor on the 3rd and 8 from the EZ after Peterson saved Jackson's tail on that shot downfield.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Yeah, the collarbone must still be hurting or otherwise he would be running through people every time he carries the ball; oh wait, he is running through people every time. :rolleyes:

[tulsaoilerfan]

I honestly don't have a problem with that, but the hand off to the fullback on second down was pretty much a give up down

[medstudent24]

Guys remember this Vikes coach is the same idiot who gave Peterson the ball a whopping 2 times in the 2nd half of the Green Bay game when he had rushed 8 carries for 105 yards in the first half. The halftime score was only 10-6 too so its not like they had to abandon the running game due to being blown out. I'd bet money that if Peterson got more carries in the 2nd half they beat GB.

Childress already cost his team at least one game by refusing to use Peterson properly.

He's not exactly a candidate for coach of the year.

[Newbomb Turk]

holy cow - what a play. Interesting to see how this shakes out.

[tulsaoilerfan]

What the hell just happened with the Aggie?

[swardboy]

Poor 93...cross country run brought back for holding ....but fumble to Vikings....gimmee some AD.

[GrapevineSooner]

Bad challenge on the fumble for Dallas.

But they shouldn't have had to burn a challenge on this last play. If the ref would have pulled his head outta his a**, he'd plainly see Ferguson bobbled it.

[Newbomb Turk]

guess that run back wore Kevin Williams out.

[josh09]

I thought today was going to be the apocolypse, because of the meeting between TRRW and AD.

[Newbomb Turk]

reminds me of yestereday. Turnovers are killing the better team. The vikings are getting all of the right bounces too.

[sooner518]

wow that was a weird play. complete pass over the middle, fumble picked up by the Vikings returned and lateraled back to Cedric Griffin who fumbles along the sideline, picks it up and runs in for a TD. Crazy play. 14-7 coming

[Newbomb Turk]

It was a catch - get on with the game. I hate reply sometimes....most of the time.

[StoopTroup]

Has the game started yet?

[Newbomb Turk]

Romo has thrown 31 passes in the 1st half.

27-31, 223 yards.

and they trail.

make it 28-32

When did Mike Leach become the OC for the Cowboys?

[tulsaoilerfan]

I finally found a QB worse than Grossman

[tulsaoilerfan]

Also, why are the Vikings running everything to the right? I thought the strength of their line was the left side? Just another thing that makes you wonder about Childress

[Newbomb Turk]

that was a nice catch and hang-on by TO.

Marion Barber may be more physical than AD - dude runs mad.

[Newbomb Turk]

I think that is a bad challenge by the vikes.

[josh09]

Haha, AD tried to be like DeMarco :D

[Newbomb Turk]

Ware needs to tackle and not try to strip the ball.

[GrapevineSooner]

Troy: DeMarcus Ware coming on his backside...


ewwww

[Newbomb Turk]

backatcha vikings.

[sooner518]

sheesh blocked FG returned for 6 by the Boys. Time for Minnesota to bring out their aerial attack to get them back into this game. lol

[Newbomb Turk]

Tavaris Jackson
3-11 31 yards.

impressive.

[Newbomb Turk]

Brad Childress should really wear a hat.

[Newbomb Turk]

AD needs to catch that ball.

[sooner518]

oy AD just dropped a first down ball. Shoulda had that one

[WxGuy1]

This is painful to watch... Are there worse starting quarterbacks in the NFL?

If the biggest playmaker for the Vikings is Peterson, why does he spend so much time on the sidelines. I understand that it's a good idea to rotate backs, and I agree with that. But geez, they've gotta figure something out. Personally, I'd switch out QBs.

[Newbomb Turk]

I'd switch out QBs.

They dont' have much to switch out.

Kelly Holcomb and Brooks Bollinger.

[Newbomb Turk]

AD - bad, bad fumble right there.

[josh09]

Oh boy.

[Newbomb Turk]

Oh boy.

AD's a man....[hairGel]

[sooner518]

Jackson is amazingly bad at QB.

[tulsaoilerfan]

Jackson is amazingly bad at QB.
I just don't see how Kelly Holcomb, at this point, could be any worse

[tulsaoilerfan]

AD needs to catch that ball.
probably, but cut the man some slack; he can't do it all, especially when he spends over half the game standing on the sideline

[Newbomb Turk]

I just don't see how Kelly Holcomb, at this point, could be any worse

he probably isn't. I think the vikings just hope that Jackson is the future so they are sticking with him.

[WxGuy1]

So they get great field position, then leave it to their terrible QB to pass 3 times. Why wasn't Peterson out there? He's by far the best player on the team, yet he doesn't see the ball last drive? Are you kidding me? I feel bad for Peterson up there now... I'd give the boot to Childress (HC) and find a new QB. The defense is actually keeping the Vikings in the game, but the playcalling on offense is horrendous.

[sooner518]

Jackson has absolutely no pocket presence and holds onto the ball forever. Hes getting decent protection but he just holds it for 5 minutes and then decides to run with it.

[BillyBall]

Its painful to see the Cowboys good again...

[tulsaoilerfan]

I totally agree, and it's just going to get harder for AD to run the ball as the season goes on.

I know he's inexperienced, but i've seen him twice this season and he seems to have gotten worse

[usmc-sooner]

If I'm the owner of a team, I think one question would be why isn't the best player on the team on the field for the last 2 possessions?

I would guess they think he can't pass block, or some other crap like that. :mad:

he can score and other crap like that. That QB couldn't see an open WR to save his life. Put your best player in the game.

I'd fire that coach, tomorrow along with the GM.

[bluedogok]

The natives up there are questionable of play calling as well, they have been all year.

Vikings Message Board (http://vikingsmessageboard.com/)
From what i have seen of the Vikings this season, Brad Childress needs to be loaded on the Monday morning train straight out of Minny; there is no reason on Earth not to give AD the ball 20x a game, yet i think there has only been 1 game when he's hit 20; he's averaging 6 yards a carry, yet he still splits time with Taylor and Childress would rather have Tarvaris Jackson try a pass on 3rd and 3 instead of giving the ball to the guy that averages 6 yards per carry; did AD even get on the field for half the offensive plays today? :mad:

[tulsaoilerfan]

**** it wouldn't matter if he could see them or not, he would still overthrow them by 20 feet; i know he's young, but i've seen nothing from him this season that would make me think he has any potential to be a starter in the NFL

[sanantoniosooner]

That crappy QB did toss one right to AD only to see it bounce off his hands.

[tommieharris91]

From that board

As PurpleHaze metioned in another thread, we could start AD at QB. Start a backfield of AD, Chester, Richardson, and MeMo. 5 OL and 2 TE sets. Run every play. I mean, 6-19 for 59 yards, what is the point of even bothering. Is this legal?

AD had 2 rushes last week that were each longer than the total passing output today! Why even bother with the pretense of throwing!

We could even put Troy Williamson in the backfield every now and then. He's fast, and by simply handing him the ball we avoid the issue of his inability to catch.

Sometimes I think the Bears should do this with Devin Hester. Heck, if AD was still here, we'd do some of that wild hog stuff with him.

[tulsaoilerfan]

That crappy QB did toss one right to AD only to see it bounce off his hands.
He made maybe 2 good throws all day; this was not one of them because the ball was high and behind him; should AD have caught it? I would say yes, but the throw still was horrible

[usmc-sooner]

That crappy QB did toss one right to AD only to see it bounce off his hands.

all things considered, give me AD

[JBaker]

If I'm Jerry Jones, I trade T.O., Marion Barber, and their first rounder next year and a second rounder in 2009 for Peterson. Then use the Browns first rounder to draft Jackson or Kelly or Sweed.

[bluedogok]

Do you really think that anyone involved with the Vikings is going to so another trade with the Cowboys? They wouldn't take TO, Barber yes, but not TO.

I wouldn't draft Swede very high, he reminds me of a Cedric Benson at receiver, great against the turds but comes up small in big games.
