Peterson Goes Over The 2,000 Yard Mark In Third Quarter vs. Green Bay
Posted by on December 30, 2012 – 5:19 pmEarly in the third quarter of Sunday’s game vs. Green Bay, Adrian Peterson ripped off a 20-yard run to both go over the 100-yard mark on the day and push his season total to over 2,000, making him just the seventh back in the history of the league to run for 2,000 yards in a single season.
UPDATE: Peterson fell just nine yards short of the record as he went for 199 yards in Sunday’s win. His 2012 season ranks second all-time behind Eric Dickerson’s all-time record of 2,105 which he set in 1984.

I’m confused as to why the refs didn’t let the stupid rule where if you throw the challenge flag on a play that will already be reviewed( a score or turnover) you lose the challenge and get a penalty.
Has to be one of the worst rules ever but it is a rule and the refs just let it slide.

Sorry- been on vacation for the last week but YEAH BABY!!!!!!!! 10 and 6- better than anyone predicted here. My best hope was 9 and 6 but Peterson and Ponder never gave up. Sorry guys, but those of you who knocked Ponder today need to just shut up and give him the credit he deserves. He played extremely well and did not turn over the ball. He threaded the needed and threw the long ball. Noone expected him to do any of that and he delivered. Way to go kid. I know I was very critical of him this year, but the fact remains that Frazier stuck with him and he made it count when it counted. Peterson is the man. Walsh should also get the credit here for winning the game for us. He did so much more than expected too. So- to all my friends here- Congrats everyone. We made it to the Playoffs. We finished strong and win or lose from here on out this is a season we can count as successful. Frustrating at times, but that is the NFL. I had a bit of a health scare this last week, so I am just going to remain grateful I get to come here each week and hang with all of you. Happy New Years to you all and I BLEED PURPLE! Nuf said….

1. In our family, you are MVP and Comeback Player of The Year. This is not a hard decision for us. Bless also your teamates. You guys are underdogs in the playoffs, but I wish that Ponder and the receiving corp surprise us all. Congratulations Vikings. Well done.
2. I hope you guys keep on winning so I can keep on wearing my Vikings jacket through February 2013.

Ponder is in progress. I hope he succeeds in every facet to the maximum. He has clutch, he can be taught the rest, but it takes time. This is his rookie year to me. Last year he had no offseason to get started due to the lockout

Although I will not apologize for the verbal smack down I was putting on Ponder, I will say that he had one of his best games of his short career tonight. He did all that he had to do, and made some great plays (although that one circus catch to Jarius Wright was very close to being a disaster). I am growing more confident in Ponder, and hopefully they Vikings can come out strong in Green Bay next week! I am glad we can all cheer after week 17 again – the first time since 2009! Let’s all cheer loud and clear from wherever we are watching the game, and SKOL VIKINGS!

What our offense needs is an Offensive Coordinator with an actual list of plays to call, and more effort is needed in the game plan to intentionally confuse each specific defense, ans plays to audible into when the defense shows us something we studied. This isn’t happening, and that is a problem. Our defense gets that concept, we just need more talent at CB, and LB

omg what’s wrong with the fans calling to pull ponder so fast. what game were you watching to do that. I’m on the fence still when it comes to him but today he showed yes he can throw down field accurately and he did one heck of a job managing the game plus no turnovers and he hit receivers on target when he had to. The d played very well today and those that say they gave up to many points think it was the packers and the d never gave up. AP you are the man I took you on my fantasy team when so many said no way. Coaches excellent run to get up to the playoffs. Musgrave I will say you do deserve a chance to coach another year and we are doing this without Harvin. This team will be even better next year no doubt and I know there will be no one asking for Frazier’s head now. We are now the feared team in the playoffs and when we beat gb next week I will be in heaven. I want to see the cheese heads come talk trash now lol.

I think that 4th round pick we get from the Lions will be huge. Good move by Spielman. It looks like Detroit is picking 5th. So we have the 5th pick in the 4th round. With all the teams who make stupid reaches every year, you know that some 3rd round talent is just going to fall to us with that pick.

Frazier is a no nonsense coach– some of you misunderstand the quiet type like him– he is a very strong man – shows by his self control– some of you think a man is a man by screaming and shouting– no that is a child or an animal. True strength is self-control– Frazier is in charge of this ship and he knows what he is doing. He understands team chemistry and the need for discipline and the chain of command is in place– no, I think Harvin was removed for his behavior more than for physical injuries.

The Vikings secondary is not the issue, I don’t know those of you saying that has noticed that Rodgers spent a lot of time in the Pocket and running around, that’s because the WR’s are covered, but they can’t keep the Packers WR’s covered for ever. That’s on the guys up front not getting to Rodgers when they had plenty of time to do so.

How many would say AP is a slight favorate over Manning I will not lessen the feat Manning has done and like AP Manning came back from a injury that one hit and he was done forever but Ap played with no brace and didn’t missa game and to top that was 9 yards shy of the all thing sinle season rushing record HE IS AND WILL BE NAMED MVP. Blair what can we say about him great choice and without him we would have lost more games also. The team is starting to jell and we are seeing what Frazier has been building finally taking shape so how many say keep frazier and who still wants Musgrave out.

1. It’s past the trade deadline
2. We won’t have to trade for him this off season. He is an UFA so if we are getting rid of Harvin it will just be a matter of giving Bowe enough $$$ to make him happy which is more possible without signing Harvin to a big deal.
