Peterson's run better? Really? It's not even close, IMO. Had Lynch's run occurred in week 2 of the season, it still would have blown Peterson's out of the water. The magnitude of the game just makes it that much better.
The Saints and Steelers won the last two Superbowls with less than 60 yards rushing. The Patriots are 14-2 this year without any sense of a primary running back. You can win pretty comfortably in the NFL without a legit RB. The Saints this year just had too many holes - they were struggling all season long in all phases of the game and it finally came back to bite them.

OK your right. I change my mind. I got caught up in Peterson's incredible shove on the sideline! Lynch's magnitude of the moment takes the cake.
Nothing compared to the Lynch run but this one was nice too. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QgcfJ8rbuHw?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QgcfJ8rbuHw?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>
I just want to go on record as saying that the Lynch run was better than the Peterson run. I just wanted to point out the fact that the Peterson run was awesome. As a Houston sports fan, though, that Earl Campbell run is pure beauty. If only he had gone for a touchdown on that run, we'd still be seeing replays of it every five minutes.
I was at the Seahawks game and have never experienced a sports atmosphere that great in my lifetime. No - I have never been to a championship game, but I've been to around 200 NBA games, 300 NHL games, 2 baseball games, and 10 or so NFL games. The stadium was rocking! What a run, what a game!
