I loved the challenge, especially since he was RIGHT. But it annoys me that some fans don't appreciate how important challenges like that are.

I just don't understand how the Head Zebra couldn't see that AP had Clearly Not broken the plane of the EZ. Reminds me of the loss in Carolina in 2005, wherein Stephen Davis (IIRC) not only had clearly Not broken the plane on his TD, but also had lost possession when the ball was knocked out of his outstretched hand. Terrible call that prob. cost us the game.

Vikings coach (RB coach?) talking to Adrian Peterson after the fourth-down stop telling him to "trust the scheme" and take it outside. Sounds like the Pats had a bit of help from AP ...

There's the difference.

Can you IMAGINE any Patriots coach having to beg a player to 'trust the scheme" during a game?

That sequence was a good twenty seconds and the coach implored him several times - - notice Peterson never looks at him and seems distracted by the jumbotron.

Holy cow, what a completely different culture in that organization.

The inmates have been running that asylum for a long, long time - from Children to Mike Tice to Dennis Green to...

Was Bud Grant really the last HC there to control that team, or am I forgetting someone?
