Vikings 20, Saints 42

The Vikings fall to the Saints 42-20 today.  The Vikings fall to 2-12 on the season, they are on pace for the all time worst Vikings seasons (they were 3-13 in 1984 & 2-11-1 in 1962).   If there's a positive from today, it's that the Colts finally won a game and put the Vikings back into the Suck-For-Luck sweepstakes.  Christian Ponder did not look good today, he had 18 first half passing yards (120 total for the game), he was rushing his throws, not scanning the field for his receivers, he was to quick to tuck the ball in and run it and seemed to have the dreaded happy feet working.  Granted, he doesn't have much to work with, but he has not been impressing me much lately.  

Observations:
-Since the start of the 2010 season, the Vikings are 8-22.  
-Not a lot of effort today by the Vikings.  
-Drew Brees had a historic day against Vikings.  With the Vikings porous secondary, you had to see that coming.  The Vikings have the fewest INT's in the NFL.   
-No sacks for Jared Allen (or any other Viking for that matter) today, he's at 17.5 with 2 games to go, he needs 22.5 to tie the NFL record.
-The Vikings defense is a mess. 
-Adrian Peterson was back, he finished with 60 yards on 10 carries.  
-C John Sullivan signed a 5 year contract extension this week, it had to be done.
-The Vikings may have looked bad this year, but their cheerleaders don't look too shabby.
-Stadium update here, get it done legislature, as bad as the Vikings are this season, I still don't want to be watching the LA Vikings.
-Up next are the Redskins in Washington next Saturday.
