The Vikings fall to the Falcons 24-14 today to fall to 2-9 on the season. The Vikings are on pace for their worst season ever. The Vikings were completely listless in the first half, they did make a game out of it in the second half though. At this point, a loss probably benefits the franchise more in the long term than a meaningless victory as they will be in line for a higher draft pick (they are tied with the Rams for 2nd worst record). Loses hurt though, they are very hard to stomach. Matt Kalil would look nice on that OL though.
Observations:
-The Vikings red zone offense needs some work.
-Christian Ponder again had a man in his face almost every play, the OL needs to get to work.
-Jared Allen is not a bad long snapper.
-Toby Gerhart is no Adrian Peterson, then again, not too many are.
-The Vikings woeful secondary got even more woeful with injuries to Tyrell Johnson & Asher Allen.
-2 games in a row with no sack by Jared Allen.
-Brian Robison is not an every down DE, he has really wore down as the season has progressed.
-I have never seen a 104 yard kickoff return that yields no points.
-I'm still not sold on Leslie Frazier as a head coach.
-Up next are the Broncos in Minneapolis.
