Lions 17, Vikings 3

The Vikings fell to 2-4 on the season today with a 17-3 loss to the Lions at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.  The Vikings offense just couldn't get anything going once again this week, I do not like the way this is trending.  The losses of Adrian Peterson, Kyle Rudolph, Matt Cassel & Brandon Fusco have not helped either.  This is shaping up as potentially another very long season for Viking fans.

Observations:

• The Vikings defense continues to put the Vikings into early holes.  
• Once again, no rushing game to speak of for the Vikings.  
• I really can't blame Bridgewater for 2 of his 3 interceptions.  
• Recognizing the above, there is still plenty of room for improvement from Bridgewater.
• Let's not forget, the Lions defense this year has been as good as anyones. 
• You cannot give up 8 sacks and expect to win many ball games. 
• Jeff Locke is no Chris Kluwe.  Just saying. 
• Mike Zimmer does not appear to be happy with the performance of his team.
• The Vikings offensive line has been quite a mess this season.  
• Turnovers:  Vikings 3, Lions 0
• On the bright side, Anthony Barr continues to flash tons of promise. 
• No Vikings QB has thrown a TD pass in the past month. 
• Norv Turners reputation as an offensive genius is taking a hit this season.
• I'm still waiting for more Cordarrelle Patterson touches. 
• The Vikings secondary did show some improvement.  Of course, there was no Megatron.
• As much as I want to blame injuries for the Vikings struggles, both teams had injuries.
• Is it too early to talk 2015 NFL Draft?  Todd Gurley would look nice in purple. 
• Yes, that was the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Vikings game. 
• Matt Prater is no Jason Hanson.  Of course, not many are. 
• Up next?  @ Buffalo, to take on the Bills.
