To be fair, it should be noted that Mendenhall was not the only RB who carried the ball for the Steelers. The Steeler RBs carried the ball 19 times for 95 yards, which is a 5.0 average.

True. Redman and Moore carried the ball 5 times for 32 yards, and Roethlisberger rushed 4 times for 31 yards. I don't put much stock in the latter, however. Quarterback rushing figures tend to be inflated, since most of their rushes come in protection breakdowns, when the defenses aren't in position to defend the run.

I said RBs. I wasn't counting Roethlisberger. Those were passing plays, which are irrelevant to rushing stats as far as I'm concerned.

Our rush d was ranked 28th in the NFL allowing 4.7 ypc. In 2009 we were first, allowing only 3.6 ypc.

Yes, and in 2009 the Packers' special teams was spectacularly bad and opposing offenses were consistently starting with extremely good field position. The low yardage given up was always a mirage caused by the short fields the defense had to work with.

That affects total yardage given up, but I don't see how it would have much impact on yards per carry.

The dirty little truth behind all of this is something that coaches will never admit for some reason: pass defense is more important than rush defense. It just is.

You said it better than I ever could have. I have never understood why people are so obsessed with shutting down Adrian Peterson. Let him have his yards. As long as the quarterback is held in check, Peterson can gallop for all the yards he wants, and more often than not the offense will be relatively impotent.

I think with running backs like Adrian Peterson (bruisers) it's not so much the yards per carry that kills you, it's the OL punishing your DL, the RB slamming into your LB's over and over again.

That's me saying, 10 runs of 3 yards by Adrian are going to hurt you more than 5 runs of 6 yards.

I was curious, so I took a look at some stats, I think I messed something up because I only came up with 61 total games(and there should be 64) but this should be enough to get a basic idea. Since AP was drafted, this is what his W/L ratio is compared to yards gained

0-49 yards: 0.3
50-99 yards: 0.53
100-149 yards: 0.73
100 or more yards: 0.85

Vikings win loss ration over that same period: 0.56

So, when AP is shut down, there is a good chance the vikings lose. When he has an average game, his w/l ratio is slightly below the vikings win/loss ratio, when he hits 100 or more, they win about 3/4ths of the time, and when he hits 150 or more, they are virtually unstoppable(6-1 by my count).

I actually expected the win/loss ratio to be a little more random than it is.

Also, many of those 49 or less games were because he didn't have many/any carries, a few I remember because Childres was an idiot. So whose the best at stopping AP? Chilly of course! 😃

I think Adrian Peterson was injured a few games, that may have screwed your stats.

Edit, just quick went through.
>100 yards by Adrian, 17W - 7L
<100 yards by Adrian, 17W - 20L

Yes I think a couple of those 0-49 games he was injured during.

That's a little of a cause/effect thing. If the Vikes get a big lead early by passing, they will run a lot in the second half, and he'll get lots of yards even if the passing game was mostly responsible for the win. Running out the clock makes those kind of stats look exaggerated for all teams.

Also, we would need to see the correlation between wins and passing yards so we could make a comparison.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
