Kyler Murray it is, whether we like it or not. The price is definitely ok, when it comes to the 2026 starting QB, but what is the plan exactly?

More Kwesi and O'Connell discussion leads to more and more reasons why Darnold's success in Seattle was much more complete than it was ever going to be here. The Seahawks clearly have the best defense in the NFL, and won in an old school style that many may have forgotten.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

As predicted from the opening round, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will clash in Super Bowl LX. In two incredibly close games, which came down to the final moments, the Patriots and Seahawks emerged and will face each other in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX. Will this upcoming game also come down to the last play, as did the one 11 years ago?#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

The much anticipated Divisional Round in the NFL Playoffs generally lived up to the hype, with two epic overtime battles and two not so much performances. Can the Seahawks be beaten?

For what it's worth, (and it isn't much) the Minnesota Vikings finished the 2025 season with a five game winning streak. The good news is that J.J. McCarthy has a pulse and could be a legitimate number one quarterback, going into 2026. The bad news is, we don't know if the guy can stay healthy for more than half a season. We potentially bid adieu to both Harrison Smith and C.J. Ham.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

After looking like this team was dead last, no matter what happens the rest of the way, the Vikings find themselves in third place in the NFC North, with a season sweep of the plummeting Detroit Lions, despite three net passing yards! So much for that high draft pick, or last place schedule in 2026!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

The Vikings won an ugly low quality football game in which multiple receivers dropped catch-able passes if not batting the ball in the air for more unearned interceptions. The real elephant in the room is, after two season and only 8 games, can JJ McCarthy stay healthy?#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

Vikings Coach Kevin O'Connell finally used common sense, and balanced out the running game with the passing game, as well as setting up rookie JJ McCarthy to be successful, which is quite an improvement, unfortunately it took 14 weeks to get here...#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

The Minnesota Vikings were shutout for the first time since November 11, 2007. Their definitely is a pattern to how things have gone, week by week, for the last several weeks, and it's beyond maddening.

J.J. McCarthy is back, and couldn't have come at a better time, not to mention a healthier offensive line!

In short, the Vikings were "zapped" on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. This game was a virtual no show on both sides of the ball, leaving us either speechless or ranting up a storm!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

The Minnesota Vikings offense went one of six in the redzone, which is as damning as it gets. What's also damning is the fact that this pass defense was completely outplayed/out coached. Finally what feels like why this team is 3-3, is the fact that this defense as a whole, outside of the Cincinnati blowout, refuses to make that game changing play, it's non existent, week after week.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

The Vikings offensive line was short three starters, and the linebackers were still missing two, so we knew this game would be ugly, and it was. Carson Wentz was clutch when needed most, and the Vikings survived a game in which it felt like they were going to lose, until the end.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

In a game that felt like all was lost, the Vikings pulled us back in, with a furious rally in the forth quarter. What ensued as the Vikings started what could've been a drive to victory, we all realized we should have known better. The Vikings injuries continue to mount, and with an offensive line in the position it is right now, this doesn't even resemble a playoff team.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

In a historical thrashing, Isaiah Rodgers made his presence known, starting off with a pick six, then forcing a fumble, in which he had a scoop and score, and finally another forced fumble, making him maybe the easiest Fran Tarkenton award in the history of this 17 year old Podcast. Another player made his presence known, and that was Left Tackle Christian Darrisaw, who made a huge difference protecting veteran QB Carson Wentz throughout the game.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: [email protected] MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: purplemafiashow

When it comes to "The Big Game(s)" it appears the moment is too big for Sam Darnold, despite such an amazing regular season. The interior line did not help, but still, you would hope for better than what we have seen the past two weeks.

The Vikings played in Detroit on Sunday night, but mostly just the defense showed up. Sam Darnold looked nervous and that the game was too big for him from the get go. Hockenson was flat awful, Jefferson had some plays he'd like back, and eventually the defense ran out of gas, as they'd done everything they could, as Darnold and the offense mustered virtually nothing most of the way.

The Minnesota Vikings have now won the second most games in a season in franchise history, in a game that should have had more separation than it did. Once again Sam Darnold was clutch when he needed to be, just like he was against Green Bay earlier in the season. Will Reichart is scaring a few people by "doinking" a 43 yarder, not to mention a tougher 58 yard field goal attempt. No double doinks allowed!

The Minnesota #Vikings took care of business vs the Bears on Monday night. Meanwhile, the Buffalo #Bills torched the ultra injured Detroit #Lions defense, giving the Vikings a real chance of winning the division after all! #MNF #NFL Use my referral link for the Crypto.com App: https://crypto.com/app/mt4ysj25P7 to sign up for Crypto.com and get $25! facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow https://www.youtube.com/@paladinolive tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@paladino.live⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: @purplemafiashow [email protected]

In a game that started out as a "Can you top this?" type of battle, things would completely snowball in Sam Darnold's and the Vikings favor. Darnold would become the first Vikings Quarterback to throw five touchdowns in a game since Daunte Culpepper on October 17th, 2004!

In one of the more frustrating games we've seen, the Minnesota Vikings did not lead in this game, until the final 1 minute and 18 seconds of the game and still had to hang on because Arizona still had three time outs! Thankfully, the Vikings defense was up for the moment, and demoralized a Cardinals offense, which was quite formidable for most of the game.

After a slow start, the Vikings appeared to have this game in the bag, leading by 11 with two minutes remaining in the game. We all watched in horror as those 11 points vanished right before our eyes, as overtime began. Thankfully, the Vikings were done playing around and put the game away fairly quickly.

Frustrations mounted last week, when it appeared that Sam Darnold had reverted back to the turnover machine he was with the NY Jets. This week in Tennessee, Darnold strongly resembled the guy we saw the first five games this season, and a big reason this team is now 8-2. The Vikings defense, for the most part, continues to be a huge factor to this team's success.

Sam Darnold seems to have lost the magic he had earlier in the season, with another multi interception performance against one of the weaker pass defenses in the NFL. John Parker Romo, who was here during mini camp and training camp, came to the rescue, to replace injured rookie kicker Will Reichard, and nailed all four of his field goal attempts!The defense also showed up, after one very disappointing drive against, and were lights out the rest of the way!

The Minnesota Vikings entered the post Christian Darrisaw portion of the 2024 season with a win over the Colts, and newly acquired left tackle Cam Robinson didn't disappoint! Robinson was very strong the entire game, unfortunately the interior line left something to be desired. Running back Cam Akers also finally got some carries and looked excellent, to say the least.

Didn't you just know that when both LA Rams star receivers Cooper Cupp and Puka Nacua finally returned from injury, that the Minnesota Vikings were in for a long night? Despite everything, including a ridiculous non call on an obvious face mask committed against Sam Darnold, we find out that superstar left tackle Christain Darrisaw has a torn ACL and MCL.

The Vikings took a 10-0 lead, but you just knew that the other shoe would drop, especially in the Dan Campbell era. The Vikings run defense, looked a far cry from being number two in the NFL, as Jahmyr Gibbs ran right threw them on multiple occasions. Sam Darnold would again have his ups and downs, it's days like this, you wish the Vikings had JJ McCarthy waiting in the wings.
