Vikings 23, Lions 23

Unbelievable, the Vikings give up a big halftime lead again (20-0) and lose once again, this time 26-23 (in OT) to the Lions.  Last week they led the Bucs 17-0 at halftime and lost (in week 1 they lead the Chargers 17-7 at halftime and lost).  The Vikings have outscored their opponents 54-7 in the first half of their first 3 games only to be outscored 67-6 in the 2nd half of those games.  This loss drops them to 0-3 on the season.  They need to figure things out and quick before they find themselves in a hole too deep to climb out of (if it is not already).  

Observations:
-The Vikings defense was on the field way too much in the 2nd half, they just wore down, much like in games 1 and 2.  All of those 3 and outs on offense just killed them.
-I did not understand the pass to Jim Kleinsasser after the Lions tied the game at 20, that was a key moment in the game, if they want to throw to a TE they need to be throwing to Shianco or Rudolph. 
-Donovan McNabb has not impressed me in his short Vikings tenure, I think it's safe to say that he's most definitely a one year and done QB for the Vikings. 
-Brian Robison is proving to be a more than capable replacement for Ray Edwards.
-Jared Allen is playing at a very high level at the other DE spot too.
-I think the Vikings may have erred in not bringing back Ben Leber.  That's no knock against Erin Henderson, he's just no Ben Leber. The Lions picked apart the middle of the field today.  
-Michael Jenkins has been a nice addition, they again could have used a deep threat WR though. 
-Adrian Peterson is a much better fit in a Leslie Frazier/Bill Musgrave offense than he was in the Brad Childress/Darrell Bevell offense, it doesn't matter much without a passing game though.
-Marcus Sherels is turning into a Special Teams demon. 
-Up next is the Chiefs (0-3) in Kansas City.
