ADP has outperformed the rest of my team so far. Awesome, awesome, awesome. love that guy
Between him and Hester there was quite a show today. Hester needs a big fat raise.
Good win by the Vikes. Longwell still has some magic left in that leg.
Bears lose. Gonna be a fun day at work tomorrow for me

The only thing that could outshine Hester's game was AP's game. Both are special players. I wonder if the win will make Childress think "See? I know what I'm doing. That's why you fans aren't coaches."

I'd still toss Moss, LT2, and maybe Steve Smith up there, but you know these players are something special when the opposing teams' fans are conceeding praises on a freakin messageboard.

Childress press conference:
On AD's touches:
"It's great that he's as good as avdertised. We're trying to get him as many touches as we can. I believe him and Chestor were pretty much split the entire game for plays and touches, that's what we're looking for."
On AD returning:
"He's kind of like the Napoleon Kaufman type of back. The backup RB with the ability to return kicks and we are happy to be able to use it."

Napolean Who?AP is going to get killed on a kick return and it will be all Chili's fault.Childress press conference:On AD's touches:"It's great that he's as good as avdertised.

I'm also wondering how in the heck it is still a 50/50 split. If it isn't AT LEAST 60/40 or 70/30 next game in favor of Peterson, Childress should be fired. I'm sorry but 20 touches 200+ yards and 3 TD's vs. the Chicago D is VERY impressive.Napolean Who?AP is going to get killed on a kick return and it will be all Chili's fault.Childress press conference:On AD's touches:"It's great that he's as good as avdertised.

Was a decent, speedy scatback for the Raiders like a decade ago. Never really panned out anywhere though. However, he did return kicks when he backed up Tyrone Wheatley - so, I believe that's why Childress made the comparison. IMO the better comparison would be, say, bringing in Ken Griffey Jr. to pitch because he can throw mid 90s. But that has never happened because baseball managers aren't morons.Napolean Who?AP is going to get killed on a kick return and it will be all Chili's fault.Childress press conference:On AD's touches:"It's great that he's as good as avdertised.

You could almost read Childress's mind there when Longwell made that kick..
I did everything I could possibly do to lose this game in the last 5 minutes when we went up by 14 points and you go and make a 55 yard FG ?? Just Who the Bleep signed you any ways??? 
Seriously... How else do you explain that last 5 minutes??
You don't go up 14 points and play prevent Defense and then allow not one but two long TD's without trying to lose..
Had they lost that game the safest thing that could have happened would be Childress staying in Chicago and sending a moving company for his things.

No shtick here, and I honestly can't believe I'm saying this, but, at least as far as game management goes, I honestly think the average football fan/former HS player/follower of the game could coach better than Childress. And I'm the type to hardly ever question coaches (I was a fan of Mike Tice for chrissakes) and gave Childress the benefit of the doubt last year because we simply were a bad team and I thought we actually overachieved. But this year we have a great defense and the best young offensive player in the league and he's doing everything he can to sabotage this. Hell, I'd welcome a stone-faced Art Shell anyday now because at least he can't hurt us by doing nothing.You could almost read Childress's mind there when Longwell made that kick..Seriously...

Ok, I am a Childress apologist, but there is NO WAY that you can run Peterson the ball 30-40 times a game. He is an explosive back who would wear down with that many carries and lose the explosiveness. I think the fact that he didn't play the entire game helped contribute to his success.
I am an OU fan so was in love with Peterson a long time ago, but you can't run the guy into the ground. Taylor had 80-something yards yesterday, and looked pretty good doing it - yes, it wasn't AD pretty but it was effective. I think they need both of them to be effective. Wear down the defense and run a rested running back at the defense in the 2nd half. That is the game plan, so I don't think you can say that they won "in spite" of the coach when the game plan works to perfection (he wasn't out there covering Hester and Muhammad on those plays).
I'm not sure about returning the kicks, but if he gets 30-40 yards on the return, so what if he isn't out there for 1st and 2nd down, he has gotten them 20 extra yards in the first place. Sorry that those 20 yards don't help your fantasy team, but getting him in open space is where he is extra special.
He just has that "special" aspect to him, so when he comes in after a couple plays, the line gets all fired up and blocks a little bit better and things take off. You just get the feeling every time he touches the ball that he can take it the distance, so it is tempting to want him in there all the time, but you have to be smart about not overusing the guy because he plays the position that can get worn down.

QB is NOT your problem. He threw for 380 yards & 2 TD's. Granted he had some veryI wish we would've picked up Vinnie. If that doesn't say how bad the Bears are, nothing will.
passes. But the QB is the least of the Bears issues right now.No F'n way should this Bears defense be giving up over 30 points to this Viking team.. In Chicago no less.

Most of us have no problems with him sharing the load with Chester. A 60-40 split is a perfect plan IMO.The issue has been the previous games, when the game was within reach, Chilly decided that the best plan was to have the best offensive player we have standing on the sidelines.Ok, I am a Childress apologist, but there is NO WAY that you can run Peterson the ball 30-40 times a game. He is an explosive back who would wear down with that many carries and lose the explosiveness. I think the fact that he didn't play the entire game helped contribute to his success. Fine.. stop the Kick-off returns and save him for the Running game. The hits on Kickoffs tend to be 10X worst than those in the running game.

Sorry that those 20 yards don't help your fantasy team, but getting him in open space is where he is extra special. If he was a devin hester type player, where that was his best ability I'd agree. But, as I mentioned above, the high impact, most damaging hits tend to happen during the kicking game and I'd rather save him from the beating during kicks so he is "fresh" for the running game.

But it isn't his fault that he goes for 50-70 yards on runs....that takes out about 5-6 carries right there, so the splits won't be the same on carries because of his big play ability.

I don't know that I entirely agree here. Look at Dante Hall, Hester, and other big time returners, they rarely get injured and they are smaller players so I don't know that the risk is as great as some people say.

I'd like to thank the Bears for continually putting eight in the box even though after the first two long AP runs they should have learned that their safety couldn't tackle him.
AP was so fast to the line and adept at finding the creases, he was through the line before eight guys mattered.
I think it would have been a different outcome if Chicago had remained in more of a base 4-3. But whatever.

Good game Vikes fans. Your o-line DOMINATED da Bears. Bears safetys suck ###. I said the minute Mike Brown went down we were in for a long season. All 4 of the Vikes TDs came on ####ty plays by safetys.
Oh and this sucked extra bad for me because I drafted Benson the pick before Peterson in my money league.

... this one hurt extra bad for bear fans watching a 7th overall pick destroy the Bears D in his 6th NFL game while Bear fans are still waiting for their 4th overall pick 3 years in to have a decent game or break a long run.The saddest part is that it was one of Benson's better games. He looked quick to the hole and had several 10+ yard runs.... this one hurt extra bad for bear fans watching a 7th overall pick destroy the Bears D in his 6th NFL game while Bear fans are still waiting for their 4th overall pick 3 years in to have a decent game or break a long run.

Wonder how many carries he got in the 2nd qtr?
