The Vikes knock off the Cardinals 34-10 today, both teams now move to 1-4 on the season. The Vikings built up a 28-0 halftime lead today and were finally able to hold on for their first victory of the season. The Cardinals poor play early in the game really hurt them, the hole was just too deep for them to climb out of. Kevin Kolb continued to struggle at QB for the Cards, he really needs to pick up his game (Andy Reid really snookered them). Donovan McNabb needs to pick up his game too, he was only 10-21 for 169 yards, his passes were all over the place.
Observations:
-Adrian Peterson is the man (122 yards rushing & 3 TD's)!!!
-Marcus Sherels is doing a nice job on punt returns.
-DE Everson Griffin has really stepped up his game from year 1.
-WR Devin Aromashodu has also been stepping up his game.
-WR Percy Harvin is a surprisingly good blocker from the slot position.
-When did the Cardinals get this bad???
-DE Brian Robison continues to impress as a starter (2 sacks).
-2 more sacks for Jared Allen (8.5 sacks through 5 games).
-I have yet to be impressed by the play of Vikings QB Donovan McNabb.
-The Cardinals OL needs lots of work.
-The Vikings need to re-think their 3rd down defense.
-At what point does Ken Whisenhunt start getting heat for the play of the Cardinals?
-Up next week for the Vikings are the Bears in Chicago.
-Bye week next week for the Cardinals.
