Tough to get 208 on GB next week

i can post 208 posts in one day on GB. he can get 208 if he tries.

He'd be lucky to get 20 carries for 90 yards against GB

I really hope Adrian breaks the record. I guy like him, loves the fucking game and had to sit for a good amount of last season with the torn ACL. You see when you love a game so much, the way AP does, just sitting on the sidelines watching and not being able to participate hurts, it just grinds a mental hole in him not being able to be out there.

After sitting for that period of time and being forced to watch and not play, he is just going all out and giving it all he's got and them some. You see most RBs after a game and they look all beat up from being hit so much. Not him - you see him in an interview post game and he just has a smile from ear to ear.

1 more week. Good luck Adrian -

If I remember correctly, today is one year ago to the day that Peterson injured his knee.

I wouldn't say that. As I said earlier, it was just three weeks ago that AP gashed the GB defence for 210 yards on 21 carries. Not saying he's going to repeat that performance, but 208 yards is very doable for him againt a GB run defence that gives up an average of 111.9yds per game. The Vikes will give him every oppritunity to get it & his o-line will be very determined to see that he gets it.

That's correct. I didn't realize it happened that late last season - I had to look it up. That makes this accomplishment all that much more impressive. The guy is a damn beast!!

He is a beast...and talk about epitome of EPIC gene selection. Father was a collegiate level basketball player, and mother was a top collegiate level sprinter. That shouldn't be allowed in the rules of fair play lol.

Here's some of his recovery:

Yeah, I wasn't correcting you, I was just pointing out that his recovery timeline has been astounding.

I don't think he will break Dickerson's record this season, but I'd like to see him get 2,000.

latest report has peterson playing with a strained abdominal muscle this week. vikings need game to make the playoffs.i think calvin megatron johnson has a better shot at getting 2000 rec yards than ap has of breaking the rushing yd rec.
