Eagles may escape with this game but have looked extremely shaking.

Neither team deserves to win this game. Everyone is going to come down on Tavaris now too, and not that he doesn't deserve it but how many 3rd and 8s and 9s did he get asked to convert. Peterson and Taylor are great backs, but they get stopped for 0 and 1 yard gains entirely too much.

i am not really a fan of AD, I like the dude's humble additude and his power running. What I don't like is the fumbles, led the NFL in them.

he was prolly near the top on carries tho

4 out of the top 5 RB on carries has 12 fumbles combined. AD has 9

haha this is why chargers are my second favorite team. They never seem to hinder the patriots and always seem to ruin the colts. SD for SB in 09

True. I absolutely love his style, he's exactly what you need in a running back as far as mindset and ability goes. He runs hard every time and hits the holes hard. Fumbles can be worked on at least... look at what Tiki did. I think AD has the opportunity to be one of the all time greats.

haha I was just thinking that as I was reading this. For tiki it took a long time for him to stop fumbling. For me personally if I had to pick a RB i'd pick either Westbrooke or Jacobs. In both of those running back they pose huge problems for any defense. Alot of people mention turner and AD, but turner is too slow and AD as mentioned before fumbles alot.

I am a very rare watcher of American Football. I am a big watcher of Australian Rules Football. I have been interested in watching the careers of various ex Rules players who have been recruited as punters. Darren Bennett being the most successful. I was therefore interested to see that another ex Rules player had been recruited in Sav Rocca and caught footage of him this week punting and then being hit late and having his helmet knocked off. The commentators were critical of the individual that hit Rocca. Being not too sure of the rules I have a question to those of you that are in the know. Was that hit legal? If not why was not the player penalised?

The footage is here and is called "Rocca's NFL welcome hit".
