I agree on AP. I saw the writing on the wall last season even though he won the rushing title. He has lost a step - maybe more. There were several plays last year where he broke into the open and was caught fro behind. That never would have happened a few seasons ago. I think he's still useful but at 15 million a year you need to be a lot more than useful. Obviously a tremendous career and a certain HOFer unless they keep him out because of the incident with his kid.

Man I hope that's all it is

Only four of 50 Super Bowl winners have featured the league's leading rusher.

On another note, like I said from day 1, Harris should be at RG. Idk what the deal is with him being on the non-injury list or whatever but Fusco blows

The flags were a flyin against both teams, I don't understand why we didnt get a little "home cooking" going on. II think the Vikings got hit with something like 160 yards of penalty yards.

Every game I saw today was a flag festival.

I'm not sure but that's encouraging news! Thanks.

Hey, remember when Aaron Rodgers fumbled? And Waynes picked him off? Or when sendejo shoulda just fell on the fumble? Or rodgers got sacked like 5 times? Or how the Packers had 65 yards in the first half? None of those moments had anything to do with the refs. The vikings were the better team period...

Maybe you should take a break from here if you are gonna just whine and complain.

Not to mention that 1485 yards isn't like something crazy. He did lead the league, but that's that's actually on the low side for the league leader in a season

Have to go back to 2007 to find someone who lead the leage with a lower amount and other than 07, all the way back to 1990

The point of my comment was that he's clearly a big asset, not that they need to have the league rushing leader.

Jordy was right about Daniels being a beast. He is tough in there. Still not better than Joseph or Griffen though.

I think that my voice will be gone tomorrow. I was really loud, I like to think that my efforts gave us the win.

I was loud too, and I was at home... My poor dog may never forgive me...

Also, defensive holding shouldn't be automatic first down, just 5 yards and run the play again. That penalty is way overpowered and really abused. It pisses me off that its always a drive-saving auto first.

Not to mention another dropped pick by Newman in the end zone and another fumble Kendricks should have had. The Vikings defense was clearly better tonight. Wasn't close.

And offensive PI should be marked off in the amount of yards from where it occurred just like defensive PI instead of just 10 yards every time.
