Very sloppy indeed. This is the first Vikes game I've watched nearly from beginning to end this year and it is a good thing they were not playing a very good team after thier bye week. If they had been they would not have been able to get away with thier sloppy play and excessive penalties.
One other thing, Childress needs to get away from the cutsie double reverse garbage, especially need to not have Adrian Peterson try to flip the ball to another player on a double. He is not known for his ball control abilities as this showed. Wouldn't hurt for him to look over his shoulder when he breaks away from the pack and has someone gaining on him and thus punch the ball out of his hands.
This game should have been a blow out by the end of the first half, yardagewise it was, but points wise the Vikes let the Lions hang around close too long.
Better sharpen things up in the coming weeks.
