Running back Adrian Peterson said Thursday that his 3-yard rushing game last weekend at San Francisco was his worst football performance at any level, but added the game also helped to put things in perspective in what has been a rookie season filled with standout games....

With a frustrated AD, and a hurting Bear defense, I see us pounding the rock down the bears throats. Our offensive line has alot of pride, and they are gonna blast the bears. Both Adrian, and Chester are going to gash some rippin' runs. I say easily another 200+ rushing performance by our team, with AD getting about 130yrds, the rest picked up by Chester, and Tarvaris.

It's a team game, he did his job and the team won.
Everyone can't be a hero every game.
Besides, it's only fitting that purple jesus would dole out an 85 yarder for CT so the team spirit stays high.

That's kind of a no-brainer. Can't do a whole hell of a lot worse.

The 49ers just didn't commit to the run, they sold out on it.
When it's 9 on 1 that 9 is gonna win everytime. I think San Fransisco didn't care how bad they lost as long as Peterson didn't have a good game on them.

At least he didn't turn the ball over...

I think I predicted he would break 300 yards....

If da Bears do the same, the game will be in TJ hands. The way he's been playing lately, I like our odds.

If the Bears don't key on AD, God help 'em. I think he's got something to prove. Watch out 300.

Call me crazy but I think its a blessing in disguise. We all know if we're gonna due any real damage in the playoffs we need AP at 100%. I think games like this where he doesn't have to carry the load, but we still win are great.It keeps him healthier for one more week.

I expect him to have a HUGE game in Chicago. Put his stamp on MNF.

I do not expect a great game by AD, IMO we are saving AD a little for the upcoming playoffs
i know i know we're not in it, but everybody sees he's not really the same before the injury. CT can do it, i think it's gonne be CT 55% AD 45%
