It was a good game. Obviously the offense wasn't where it needed to be in the first half, but Favre started to settle down in the second half as Chilly slowly took the leash off with the play calling. He's still got some timing issues with the receivers—particularly with Berrian who's been limited by a strained hamstring and hasn't spent much time with Favre—but he should be fine, especially with the promising schedule. O-line needs to do a better job of keeping him clean.

 

And Adrian Peterson is a magical fairy person. That 64-yard run is honestly one of the best runs I've ever seen.

Every time I watch it, it gets blood flowing in my nether regions.

 

Oh and special teams still blow.

The first time I saw the 64 yard TD run by Adrian Peterson, I thought it was a great run, but it wasn't as good as people are trying to make it sound.

 

He hit a wide open hole, and the Cleveland Browns defenders just sucked dick at tackling that play, with a nice little move by Adrian Peterson on the last defender.

 

 

It was a good run, but not one of the best I've ever seen like you said Mason.

Seriously? Are you trolling? Please tell me that you're trying to..

 

No, I'm not.

 

 

I have no problem admitting that he is an amazing RB, and may very well go down as the greatest RB in NFL history, but I suggest you watch that play again and tell me what was so amazing about it besides one pretty good move and a bunch of awful tackling.

What is any great run without 'shoddy' tackling? What is Brees' six touchdowns without poor defense? How would Philadelphia's defense look without bad quarterback play against Carolina?

 

It's possible to diminish the impressiveness of anything in the NFL if you look at it that way. From an alternate perspective, it might appear as awful tackling, but by the same token, maybe the run was just that good. Fact is, Peterson makes three guys miss, puts one defender on his [expletive] with his free hand, [expletive]-slaps another one, and still manages to accelerate back to top speed and outrun the rest of the defense. That run ticked all the boxes. You're not going to see anything like that again in a long time.
