Vikings 26, Redskins 38

The Vikings finally fall to earth with a 38-26 loss to the Redskins in Washington today.  This loss drops the Vikings to 4-2 on the season.  It was easily their worst performance of the season.  They looked great in the first quarter but after that it was all Redskins.  They need to play with more of a killer instinct, their 'take what they give you' approach will only take them so far, they need to be able to impose their own will on a team.  I think we also saw some of the limitations of Christian Ponder as a QB, he doesn't have a cannon of an arm, he doesn't look deep too often, teams are starting to give the Vikings the deep stuff and are creeping up to the line of scrimmage to stop Adrian Peterson (and the short passes).  

Observations:

• Some of those Viking FG's need to become TD's.
• The Vikings offense has become quite predictable.  
• Life is a little tougher on the road huh Vikings?  
• Were the Vikings out coached today?  Possibly. 
• Percy Harvin just has no quit in him.    
• Blair Walsh has become quite the weapon.   
• RGIII is a pretty impressive looking rookie QB.  
• Where's John Carlson?  I thought they were going to use 2 TE's. 
• Is it wrong of me to wish there wasn't so much pink out there?
• Up next?  At home against the Cardinals.
