Atlanta @ Detroit SaNFB 12/22/'12

[NinerSickness]

Great friggn' play by Bell. Way t' reach for those extra yards.

 

[NinerSickness]

Safety. Now Megatron has some time to pad his stats.

 

[badazzk9]

WOW that was dumb!

 

[NinerSickness]

The AFC North is lucky Ndamukong Suh doesn't have a stronger head coach, because that guy could be downright scary under a guy like the Sith (Belichick) or Coughlin.

...or Harbaugh.

Detroit struts and prances around more than any team I can recall with such a crappy record. They have real leadership issues in my opinion.

 

[NinerSickness]

So, basically, the Falcons can have 2 bye weeks now. This could work against 'em.

 

[NinerSickness]

Another "WTF" pass by Stafford. The game's over already, but still...

 

[badazzk9]

Kind words at the end of the game from Matt Ryan about Megatron.

Crazy but we might see a 2000 yard receiver and rusher in the same year......this is definitely a different era in football.

I think 2000 is in the bag for CJ - AP is going to have to work for it - but still very possible.

Seriously man? Do you read what you write?

Calvin Johnson getting 108 yards against the team that held him to 34 yards earlier in the season, is in the bag.

But Adrian Petersen getting 188 yards in 2 games, One against the packers WHO HE RUSHED FOR 210 YARDS AGAINST 3 weeks ago is going to take work?

Man, you really need to pass whatever it is you smoke. Or stop posting.

LOL!!! You mean Calvin can't do to Chicago what he did to Minnesota? Wow, he might as well not even suit up then! Great Call!

As for AP - Yes, he will find it difficult to run against a healthy, playing for a bye Packers team. Not saying he won't get to 2k, but he certainly isn't going to rush for 200+ yards against the Packers twice in one season - but if you think so - good luck.

It is unlikely he will, but the Packers have a weak defense so its possible... plus they have a history of laying down for records to be broken. lol, that was a cheap shot..

I wouldn't expect AP to do it though, Minnesota is playing to win; not to get AP to 2200. The Lions have flat out said that the last few weeks they were playing just to get Megatron the record so they could pretend this year was a positive year. Judging by how the fans reacted, it worked pretty well at distracting them from another horrible year without making the playoffs.

Well, he has two games to get 2000 yards. At his current pace, he'll get 2071 yards. That's 34 yards from the record, so it's possible but if the Texans are that good, he would need the bulk of it to be in Week 17. With the Texans being 5th, I assume he'd have to do at least 58 yards against them (71 fewer yards than his average) - then current average against the Packers to get to 2000 (71 yards fewer than 2071, see above).

Are you looking at his season average? If so, I think looking at his splits is important. In the first half of the season he ran 151 times for 775 yards at an impressive 5.1 ypc. In the 6 games since then he has run 138 times for 1037 yards at 7.2 ypc.

He also runs better on the road than he does at home this year (5.5 ypc on 155 carries vs 7.1 ypc on 134 carries).

In his last 5 games he's run for 875 yards. His worst day was a 108 yard 0 TD game with only 18 carries. He's gone over 200 yards twice in that span, over 170 once and over 150 once.

He's averaging 175 yards per game in his last 5.

Chicago is playing for their playoff lives. You can damn well bet they will key in on Calvin Johnson. Who as I said, they held to 34 yards in their first meeting.

Peterson on the other hand. You might want to take a good look at his Average YPG in December. He's averaging 192 ypg. Yes, 576 yards in 3 games.

But hey, when AP does breaks 2000 yards, I'll be waiting for your post on why he wasn't supposed to.

Just like I'm still waiting for your response on why the Falcons are one and done again. Thanks Nostradamus.

So he could get the record in addition to passing 2000. I haven't looked at their schedule but he's turning it on when most guys slow down. Pretty cool.

I would've sworn it would have been Nostradumbass instead of Nostradamus. Guess I'm no good at predictions.

calvin johnson and adrian peterson are freaks of nature.
