Teddy has had a lot of time to throw today and not suprisingly, he's having one of his best games. Most of his incompletions are throw aways.
The less we see of Ap the better he's old and can't run behind this line, he will have flashes of brilliance every once and a while but he's on the decline. The offense looks better when he's not on the field. I'm sure some lunatics will disagree, but just because Ap can rip off a 50 yard run every once and a while doesn't make up for the fact that he stalls drives with ineffective running.

Sorry I didn't have your inside info superstar. When the owner of the team says a few days ago that he won't coach this year. You just assume he is gonna make it more than a few days.
That's OK. I forgive your ignorance.
Just kidding, Bigwehrm. I wrote that post quickly because I was trying to follow the game via crappy sources (out of state, so it's not on TV here), so I probably lacked some grace in typing it up. Didn't mean to come off as a jerk. My source was really surprised that they'd managed to keep it on the DL so long. He was in bad shape for quite a while.

except is asiata's brief appearance he has looked more fluid than AP. Its worth a look at the very least .
Yeah let's put in the guy that averaged 3 yards a carry last year in for Adrian Peterson. Good idea

AD tends to make the other backs look good (see Gerhart, Toby) because defenses generally change schemes when he's not on the field. His line is atrocious so there's not much he can do about that. What is his problem is his ball and pass protection, which have taken a step backwards this year.

I don't care what the stat line says. He fumbled the hand-off from Teddy.

That was 100% on Teddy.

He always has handoff and fumble problems. I blame him.

Sacked again, yikes. Good thing for the penalty or that would have been 16 sacks in 130 minutes on the road.

AP is dinged up and sick. The Michael Jordan game ain't gonna happen.
I think we should be using the other running backs more.
