Speaking of which, i'd be a lot more confident in the vikes playoff run if we had harvin. It'll be nice getting Cook back next week to take on andre johnson

There could be a massive logjam for those last two spots, especially if the Seahawks lose and the Cowboys win. We might just sneak in.

Even if we don't credit to the coaching staff/spielman, this was a great season

[Forward To Death]

So maybe Robison is out, but we are extremely deep at DE. Ballard and Griffen could both start on most other teams, and be viable options, and they're both still young.

I think we can beat the odds, and if we win out we'd have the last spot. We absolutely have to win out, though. I think Peterson can get us there, and I don't think there's a team we can't beat if we play mistake-free. See, this is all Ponder really has to do. 150 yards and no picks and a TD or two.

I think I motivated AP guys. Thank me later Sparky.

As it stands he sets at 1,812 so that leaves him like 188 to get to two thousand with two games left leaving him 94 yards a game. I'd say thats within the realm of possibility and in itself should win him the MVP. To break Dickersons record after coming back from the injury he suffered this time late last season is nothing short of amazing. All hail that kid from Texas who is otherwise known as Adrian ALL DAY Peterson.

Texans let the colts runner (whomever he is) rush for 100 on them last week. I think AP gets at least 130 and thats if it's a bad day and he's contained mostly.

I wouldn't put it past him to get 130 in one run.

Mewelde Moore?

[Sparky]

Seriously it was Mewelde? That dude used to play for the vikes a long time ago, had a hard time getting any snaps.

Thats awesome though. AP might get 2k next game

I actullay dont know who ther RB is I was just guessing. Espn shows Donald Brown and Vick Ballard under the rushing stats. Never heard of either one of them so its looking good for Peterson. Honestly after watching the Pats carve up that deffense a couple of weeks ago in every aspect of the game. I'd say Peterson has a good shot at another 200 yard game, but I dont wanna jinx it.
