659 is going to be difficult. He's been on pace the last few games to make 2000.


The thing that really sucks is that during this great run of games Minnesota has had to abandon the run early in the fourth quarter. The fact that he's put up these stats in 3/4ths os a game considering Peterson gays stronger in the fourth quarter is amazing

100 yards in first quarter for AD.

AD plays in Houston in two weeks. I wouldn't mind seeing him getting to 2K in person, though I hope the Vikings lose.

[StoopTroup]

125 yards now and two TDs.

Amazing player


Jermaine Gresham had a nice catch against the C-boys. Also DeMarco has a TD.

[OkieThunderLion]

He's at 1600 yards thru 13 games. Needs to 134 per game over the last 3 games to get to 2000. Or 168 per game to reach Dickerson's record, nearly impossible.

[Moore]

I bet he gets 2000

[StoopTroup]

It's possible but if he still needs 200 yards when they play GB...I think it will be pretty tough.

[rock on sooner]

There's a good chance that when he gets close coaches will run
it to get there. Now, if the Vikes get into the playoffs and he
gets a least one more game, 150 a game for four = 2200 for
the season....be a helluva year!

Playoff games don't count for season records.

[stoopified]

With 154 yards,AD is now at 1600,needing 400 in his final 3.That means he needs to average 133 a game which is his season average.BTW AD passed Herschel Walker on NFL career rushing list.

Nope they don't count or Brees would have broke the TD pass record a long time ago.

Monster game from AD today against the Rams.

[soonercastor]

*cough* *cough*

[Aries]

212 yards today vs. Rams. Final Vikes 36, Rams 22

[8timechamps]

If ESPN is correct, he's now at 1600 yards, with two games to play. Needs to average 200 yards each of the next two weeks against Houston and Green Bay. It's going to come down to the wire.

[jkjsooner]

Now he needs 293 or 146.5 per game for the record. What looked like a longshot is looking more probable.

[jkjsooner]

He was at 1600 before today.

[8timechamps]

He was at 1600 before today.

I wondered about that, but since they had included the Stl game stats, I figured that they included them in his overall numbers. Anyway, good to know. It's still not going to be easy, but a little better than needing 200/game.

The fact that he's this close to 2000 after 2 ligament tears last Christmas Eve is unbelievable.

Since you were talking 2000 not the record, he only needs a little over 90 a game for it. I'd be shocked if he doesn't make that.

I was watching my Broncos destroy the Ravens, so all I got to see was the occasional studio update. That would have been a tough one to watch (as a fan of neither team), as I want Sam to do well, but I want AD to break the record.

[SoonerDood]

both Sam and AD had good games, as they got to face each other's defense.

[MI Sooner]

The Vikings have a decent defense and Bradford didn't have a good game. Before garbage time, his numbers weren't that good, and he lost a fumble. He got his numbers back to being pretty good by the end, but I don't put that much stock in garbage time, and he had that fumble and a botched snap.

And an INT returned for a TD.

[rock on sooner]

AD needs 294 to break the single season record...looking at
his face and body language, he knows and is determined to
do it. It seems the Vikes need him to overachieve (is that
possible?) just to win. He's got a really good shot at it!

The Rams are still missing a lot of pieces, when you were as bad as they were, you typically don't recover fast.

Yep. If they weren't in the same division as San Francisco, Arizona and Seattle, their record in the past few years would have been much, much worse. Fisher is going to get them turned around, but it's going to take a couple of smart drafts.

[sooneredaco]

Bittersweet for me. I live here in STL, love Sammy, but wanted AD to do well. At the end of the day, I'm happy with the results

[tulsaoilerfan]

Sam damn near got killed today; the Rams have picked 2 tackles early in the draft over the last 3-4 years and 1 was so bad that i don't even think he's in the league anymore or at least not the Rams; Sam did make some mistakes and missed a few throws, but he was getting hit damn near every play

I'm a Rams fan too. The funny thing is that they have been playing really good defense lately. AD is on a historic run over these last 8 games. 11 in the box might not have stopped him.

[SoonerAtKU]

When my wife saw that 82-yarder, she said, "It doesn't even look like they're running towards him to make a tackle." That's how good AD is. He hits the back of his blockers, slides 5 yards left without hesitation, then accelerates through 3 potential tacklers.

It was his MVP moment. Cmon ESPiN.... Spin Spin Spin... :biggrin:

[C&CDean]

He can do it. Hell, the last time the Queens played my Packers it was a dream game for me. AD got over 200 yards rushing, and the Pack kicked the Queens' ***. Win-win. Hope it happens again.

[stoopified]

With 8564 career yards AD needs 1436 yards to crack the 10,000 yard mark. Given a good finish year,AD would crack that mark by midseason and is so doing, pass Earl Cambell ,among others.

[swardboy]

Can you imagine how good he'd be if he had surgery on his other knee?

[TitoMorelli]

Seemed like SportsCenter dedicated half its air-time to AD this morning. Both his runs made the Top 10 plays list.

Some great comments concerning how hard-working he is in the weight-room (which we already knew from his time as a Sooner), and how popular he is with teammates because of his demeanor. I think it was Merril Hoge who said that there are 53 other guys in purple who want the record for him as much or more than AD does.

Got to meet him one time in Norman when he dropped by another player's rented home. Class act. Easy to believe he's so well-liked by his teammates.

His nickname is AD because his nickname is "All Day" Most of us laugh when national announcers call him AP. It has been AD since day one. Even before OU.

I still remember OU/Texas in '04. It was a 12-0 defensive game (boy do I miss those) played in a light constant rain. Texas punted OU back inside the 10 yeard line at LEAST three times that day. Peterson changed field position over and over and over that day with one of the most brilliant performances ever. He was a freshman and he gained 220+ yards against a defense that would win the national title the next year. Best live performance I have ever seen in any sport.

I think it's also mental. Most people will never fully trust an injured joint, even after having a successful surgery and time to recover/rehab. AD runs like he doesn't care. That's what makes him so dangerous.

I was at the game. Sam did get beat up. St. Louis fans mostly hate Sam and wish he would leave. They think he can't man up like the bigger QB's. I keep telling them two years of getting beat up and you would take an opportunity to not get the sh*t knocked out of you too. If they would get him a line and someone not named Amendola who could get open and catch a ball, they would appreciate him a lot more.

AS for AD.....awesome! I was club level in gthe corner of the endzone he ran to. As soon as he broke the line of scrimmage you could see it was all over. They couldn't have caught him with a car. After the game he was the last to go through the tunnel. There were so many Vikings fans there after he threw his gloves to the crowd, he stopped and took his shoes off and chunked them up there as well. He was happy as could be.

I have family in St. Looey, and from what I gather, their biggest problem with Sam is that he's not named Kurt Warner. Nevermind that he has had no protection, not a decent receiving corp.

This lists all the various reasons that rams fans hate him. Strangely enough, it reads like a thread on Landry Jones.

Having watched Sam more than those yahoos, his biggest issue is not having a tight end that he can dump the ball off too. The net effect is that he has to hold the ball longer waiting for either a back to clear the backfield or one of his sub-par WRs to get open. All of the "great" QBs they compare him too had some pretty decent tight ends when they were starting out.

[SoonerAtKU]

St. Louis is not a football town. I've lived here for almost 5 years now, and if it's not baseball, you're better off not listening to what a St. Louis sports fan thinks. Things that you take for granted having either played or watched football for most of your life are complete unknowns in these parts. The best part of their sports scene when it comes to football is a guy who played DL for that Rams Super Bowl team, and he's fully on board with Bradford. He's Mike Golic, essentially, so you're not getting a great deal of in-depth analysis from him.

Also, the fact that they have to hold TEs in to help with protection really limits the number of looks they get in the passing game. Kendricks was brought in to be that safety valve for Bradford, but they can't rely on him as a blocker so they have to rotate, tipping their hand to the defense.

Now there's talk that Schottenheimer will get a look at Head Coach somewhere, which would mean a FOURTH OC and offense in four years. I don't know what he'd look like after another offseason of that.

In the last two classes, there are a bunch:

[nutinbutdust]

AD was just on the local news in the twin cities. He donated 1812 toys to the Salvation Army for needy kids. He said that he would donate more as his yardage progresses. I wish there where more players like him on and off the field in the NFL. On a side note there have been some hints that if he breaks the record, he will be buying Rolex watches for his linemen.

Yep, the Vikings offense line didn't help Peterson this game. JJ Watt dominated Loadholt. It's going to be hard to repeat the 210 yard performance against GB.

[BoulderSooner79]

Those were 86 effective yards that AD earned the hard way. They were crucial to the win and kept the Vikes in the playoff hunt. Forcing the Texans to overload against the run allowed the mediocre Ponder to have a big day. AD is so amazing, it's easy to forget that 86yds/game would add up to 1376 in a season which would rank pretty high among all backs. I think he will get his 102 next week against the Packers - hard to ever predict a 200+ game in the NFL.

[8timechamps]

Just knowing how angry AD runs, I will be surprised if he doesn't get to 2K.

It's going to be hard to beat Dickerson's record, but if anyone can do it, it's AD.

[SoonerStormchaser]

So what's the countdown to 2000 and the record?

[8timechamps]

I thought they said he needed 146 more yards to break the record. I think he only needs about 40-45 to break 2K.

Since I posted my last post, he's gone -2 yards. Maybe I'll not post until the game is over...

[yermom]

they need to sneak something down field in somewhere to get him some more room

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

11 yards from 2k, 116 from the record

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

91 yds so far. He's on his way.

[yermom]

there's 2000 :D

[yermom]

needs 91 for the record

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

at 2015 needs 90

[yermom]

64 left

28 on 2nd and 27 is pretty nice :D

[okiewaker]

Come on AD.

[All_Day_28]

Lets go AD!!!!

[OU_Sooners75]

I am by no means a Vikings fan, but they are getting ripped by the officials.

The last 5 minutes of the 3rd was nothing but the officials helping GB out. And the replay...no way he was across the line for a TD.

[Soonerjeepman]

the rest of the frickin vikings need to step up...stupid penalties. GIVE AD the ball...I'd be surprised if he reaches the record...course he could do that in one run!

[OU_Sooners75]

Yeah I. Would just keep feeding him if I were the OC. Maybe he breaks it, maybe he doesn't. But the Vikings are trying to make the playoffs over ADs record.

He is over 2K this year. The year he has had will go down as one of the greatest anyway without the record. Especially since he had knee surgery a year ago today.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

it would be the schnitz if your own team and coach weren't pulling for you to break the record, and behaved contrary to helping reach that goal. Of course winning is the most important thing.

[OU_Sooners75]

And so the packer comes up screaming for a hold and gets it.


Hmmm...tell me the NFL doesn't want the packers in the top 2....lol almost laughable.

[OU_Sooners75]

And finally, I wonder if the viking OC knows what an off tackle run is?

[Soonerjeepman]

cmon AD...

[jkjsooner]

Loadholt is an idiot. How many penalties does he have today? Same ol' Loadholt.

[OU_Sooners75]

feed AD

[Soonerjeepman]

guess I would go wide with AD...that way he can cut back...this up the gut **** ain't working

[OU_Sooners75]

Every run play inside the 10 is inside the B gaps (defensive side)

[OU_Sooners75]

45 yards to go. 8 minutes left.

Does he get the record?

[OU_Sooners75]

Loadholt is an idiot. How many penalties does he have today? Same ol' Loadholt.

He has had 3 or 4. And I know one of them was a bull**** call. And one should have been callled on the center not Loadholt.

[okiewaker]

They prolly got two possessions left. Not looking good for AD to
get it but ya never know.

[yermom]

well, it looks like they will be trying to eat clock, so that is good

[yermom]

hmm, or not

[yermom]

i guess there is always OT...

[okiewaker]

Maybe there will be an overtime.

[okiewaker]

Hoping for a GB TD

[King Crimson]

vikings are always losing...to win.

[Soonerjeepman]

cmon AD...pull a 60 yrder...

[Soonerjeepman]

Every run play inside the 10 is inside the B gaps (defensive side)

ok, 75, I know you played and coach...I'm a bball guy. So are you saying this is the norm? B games are between G/T?

[Soonerjeepman]

going out on a limb and say he doesn't get it..sad, but he's had an unbelievable yr....

[King Crimson]

vikes need to focus on winning right about now.

[yermom]

sooo close

[Soonerwake]

Please miss the field goal.....

[okiewaker]

Needs to break it for a TD to get it

[Soonerwake]

9 yards short, damn!!!!!

[8timechamps]

I was kinda pulling for a missed field goal, just to give AD overtime.

SO CLOSE!

[yermom]

dang. 9 yards short.

[okiewaker]

That effing sucks. Wow!!!!

[8timechamps]

He didn't know he was that close. He just wanted the win. What a stud.

[yermom]

on the plus side, he put them in the position to make that kick at the end.

[jkjsooner]

Gotta admit, I was rooting for a miss as well.

[okiewaker]

He sounded disappointed to me. Losses come all the time,,, milestones very rarely.

[Widescreen]

If anyone is to blame, it's the Vikes defense. They just couldn't stop GB to get the ball back.

[OU_Sooners75]

ok, 75, I know you played and coach...I'm a bball guy. So are you saying this is the norm? B games are between G/T?



B gaps are from the defensive side of the ball. And yes, they are between G and T.

I didn't watch the entire game. Just the second half. But everytime (but once) they ran the ball inside the 10, it was between the tackles.

But in the NFL, it does seem to be the norm. NFL is so incredibily unimagitive it isn't funny....when talking offense.

[OU_Sooners75]

He didn't know he was that close. He just wanted the win. What a stud.

I guarantee you he knew what he needed before the last drive and what he needed when the game was over before the reporter got to him.

I don't know or haven't known a player or coach know what a team or player needs to break a record.

Yes, they focurs more on the goal in winning, but they know.

[Seamus]

guess I would go wide with AD...that way he can cut back...this up the gut **** ain't working

199 yards, 5.9 a carry. Not working.

LOL

[OU_Sooners75]

199 yards, 5.9 a carry. Not working.

LOL

And inside the 10 yard line he averaged less than 1 yard per carry. And that is what jeep was talking about.

Also, his big runs, came by the way of off tackles or misdirection (by design or petersos doing).

[Soonerjeepman]

199 yards, 5.9 a carry. Not working.

LOL

how many of those did he actually run "up the gut"..? he may have started but HE then bounced out..after seeing it was closed. The second half I'd say 80% of the time IF he stayed where he was SUPPOSE to run he got stopped...but go ahead and laugh.

never said he didn't have a great day...there were 4/5 plays on last 2/3 drives where I'm assuming the call was off guard...behind center...up the gut...whatever ya want to call it where he got either 1 yrd or lost yrdage...just my observation..

[Seamus]

Didn't see anything but highlights -- I'm at work today.

I hear ya -- I wanted the record too. But in no way should AD -- or the fans -- feel bad about what he accomplished.

Read this for perspective. (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8782899/adrian-peterson-inspires-list-top-10-individual-seasons-nfl-history)

[Soonerjeepman]

I agree...the win is more than the record. didn't read the link. I was frustrated with the play calling...AD (to me) has such vision that a few more calls for sweeps/misdirections, etc he gets it with ease. Sure a spot in the playoff means more to him than the record. He'll just have to get it next yr.

Oh, and I could give ya crap for commenting and not even watching the game...but I won't! ;-)

[LiveLaughLove]

They had to go for the win the way they did, but I disagree that it was more important.

They will most likely lose their first playoff game and their season will be over. A footnote to football history. One of the last teams in, and most likely one of the first out.

Had AD broken the record it would be talked about for decades. It would be a great continual source of pride for AD, Minnesota, and Oklahoma.

Agree. I seen Dickerson being shown several times,,, can't remember, and it wasn't shown, what the rams record was that year in '84.

[SoonerofAlabama]

10-6, second in their division. Rams '84. Same as Vikes this year.

[OkieThunderLion]

Dickerson had 31 more carries.

As an AD fan, I get where you're coming from, and agree. As a Vikings fan (which I am not), I would put the win over AD breaking the record. And lastly, as an owner, they wanted the win. But, back to me...I was hoping for a missed field goal, to push the game to OT...he would have gotten it for sure.

If AD would have been able to go for 100 yards last week, against the Texans, he would have broken the record today. So close.

Anyway, I'm not sure this is the last time he flirts with the record. Unless they have to cut his leg off, I think he wants to be remembered as the greatest to ever run in the NFL. I happen to think he'll prove it before it's all done.

[OU_Sooners75]

AD gets two more carries in the regular season, he gets the record.

At least by his season averages anyway.


TWO STINKIN CARRIES!!!

[VA Sooner]

Oh so close... measly 9 yards.

But damn... did it a year after tearing his ACL and gets my vote for MVP. He's a beast... everyone knew he was getting the ball and there he was get his 199 yards... carried the team on his back.

[Seamus]

Again, I implore all of you:

Don't be disappointed in what didn't happen. Revel and rejoice in what he accomplished.

[yermom]

i think the only person not let down is Eric Dickerson :D

2000 yards is awesome though. best season since '84 and he needed about every yard he got tonight to get them into the playoffs

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

2000 yards is awesome though. best season since '84 and he needed about every yard he got tonight to get them into the playoffs2nd most rushing yds EVAR gained in one season. In my mind anyway, he's a top 10 all-time running back, already.

[olevetonahill]

I wanta have his babies.

[King Crimson]

I wanta have his babies.

you might have to fight me for it.

[jkjsooner]

As an AD fan, I get where you're coming from, and agree. As a Vikings fan (which I am not), I would put the win over AD breaking the record.

As a player or coach your first goal is to win games. Nobody denies that.

I'm not so sure as a Vikings fan if you feel that way. In fact that was debated all week among Vikings fans. To put it into perspective, ask a Rams fan (of the few who are left from the LA team) to give his 10 Rams accomplishments they're most proud of. I bet the record is on the list and making the playoffs in '84 is not.

If the Vikings make a run to the NFC championship game or Super Bowl I'll eat my words but that isn't happening.

[olevetonahill]

you might have to fight me for it.

Slut.
Oh Happy Belated B-Day

[King Crimson]

Slut.
Oh Happy Belated B-Day

i got the posse email at my mom's in norman. nice.

he's a beautiful black man. ya know. don't be jealous.

[OU_Sooners75]

Bunch of faggaloes!

[EatLeadCommie]

Not that it's particularly relevant to his pursuit of the record, but I remember a few years ago when AD was having fumbling problems that everybody was harping on. If you go back and look at Dickerson's numbers, the guy was a fumbling machine for the first 4 years of his career.

OT, but didn't realize that Vikings QB Ponder got married last month to ESPN hottie Samantha Steele.
