The Vikings fall to 0-2 on the season falling to the Bucs 24-20. The Vikings lead 17-0 at halftime and appeared to be in complete control of the game. It's a bit disconcerting to me that they've been so out played (and out coached) in the 2nd half two weeks in a row now. They really need to develop a killer instinct.
Observations:
-The Bucs led for all of 31 seconds of this game.
-This is only the second time in franchise history that the Vikings have started 0-2 two seasons in a row.
-Nice game by Adrian Peterson (130 yards on 26 carries, 2 TD's).
-The OL really needs to buy more time for Donovan McNabb to throw the ball, he was constantly under pressure once again.
-A legitimate deep threat at WR would be really nice (someone like Sidney Rice perhaps??)
-Tampa Bay QB Josh Freeman is good in the 4th quarter.
-Should the Vikes pick Andrew Luck a year after selecting Christian Ponder???
-What happened to the pass rush in the 2nd half?
-How do you get blindsided by a an on-side kick in the second half? Even I saw that coming.
-Up next is Detroit (2-0) in Minneapolis, the Lions are looking tough this year, don't be shocked by a 0-3 start.
