Purple Mafia -Minnesota Vikings Podcast-

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. Use my referral link...

In another game that should have been a wider margin of victory, Will Reichard "Big Leg Bill" stood out, with a 54 yard, a 52 yard and the 41 yard field goal, to clinch a 23-17 victory over the Jets in London!

The Vikings were annihilating the Green Bay Packers 28-0, only to start making the most egregious mistakes, like dropping a fair catch, being strip sacked, and simply doing nothing right for a quarter and a half. Thankfully, when it looked like all was lost, Justin Jefferson, Sam Darnold, and Byron Murphy Jr. saved the day, and averted one of the most frustrating losses in recent memory. Use my re...

After beating the 49ers last week, the Minnesota Vikings knew they left some plays on the field. After today's game vs Houston however, the local club did a more complete dismantling of what many would call a competitive team!

In a game that had it's share of mistakes, with up to 14 points left on the field, one being an interception against Sam Darnold in the redzone, or Aaron Jones fumbling at the 2 yard line, in what should have been a sure touchdown, the Vikings hung on and won. Sam Darnold showed many of us how he can perform under pressure against the league's best, despite being extremely limited in avail...

It's safe to say the start of last season had some negative vibes, that lingered most of the season, and ultimately fell off the face of the Earth. This season opener feels like the opposite, especially having what appears to be a competent quarterback at a $25 Million dollar a year discount.

The 2024 Minnesota Vikings and NFL Season is upon us! Sam Darnold is the guy, as JJ McCarthy will have to watch, while he recovers from Meniscus surgery. Will O'Connell be more willing to utilize Aaron Jones, and run the ball more? How great will Bryan Flores defense be? Are the Vikings a Playoff team? Who will win the AFC, NFC and ultimately the Superbowl this year? All of these topics will b...

It's been a very long time, as my busy schedule ended up being busier this year than normal. We talk about the ups and downs of the later part of spring into the summer as we have headed into training camp. We also mourn the loss of Kyree Jackson, as well as honor him.

The 2024 NFL Draft ended up being an exciting one for many a Minnesota Vikings fan, as two potentially franchise changing players fell to the Vikings, at least to a point where they could trade up without using next year's first round pick! JJ McCarthy is the future Vikings quaterback, and Dallas Turner fell to 17, in which Kwesi made the big move from 23, to land the elite pass rushing lineba...

This has turned out to be one of the most fascinating free agency periods in Vikings history. We say good bye to Kirk Cousins, but hello to a younger, faster defense. There now a strong possibility of a blue chip Quarterback heading our way come draft time, as the Purple are clearly building up trade chips.

It's time for the annual granddaddy of them all, State Of The Vikings 2024. First, we put a bow on the 2023 season, and name the 2023 Vikings MVP, biggest disappointment and biggest surprise. In the second segment, we look toward the future, looking towards 2024 free agency and the draft. Gerald Syring opens up segment three with another great call in, and then we jump into social media to hea...

Super Bowl LVIII was a great game, but the ending felt oh so familiar and oh so predictable. The 49ers gave away numerous chances, and Steve Spagnuolo proved he's the best defensive coordinator of all-time.

Championship Sunday was a tale of two halves, one that sputtered away, as the Ravens kept shooting themselves in the foot, despite playing much better in the second half, a lot like this year's Vikings. The 49ers on the other hand, mounted a 17 point comeback, as it appeared the Lions were on their way to their first Super Bowl, only to see San Francisco come "roaring" back with a 27...

Baltimore ultimately crushed the Texans in the second half of their game, whereas San Fransisco finally woke up in the fourth quarter to oust the Packers. The Lions outlasted the Buccaneers, reaching their first NFC Title game since the 1991 season. The Bills looked like the better team, and had home field advantage, but blew so many opportunities, especially Stefon Diggs, who really let his team...

The Minnesota Vikings indeed finished what was the 2023 Season with a 7-10 record. This season started with mistakes, then the injuries set in, followed by poor decision making after a pretty nice mid-season run. At the end of the day, failure after failure reared it's ugly head pretty much throughout the year. Hey! Here’s my referral link to sign up to deliver with DoorDash: https://drd.sh/bY...

With injuries everywhere, terrible options at quarterback, a defense that is losing confidence, and the sudden resurgence of certain other teams, the Minnesota Vikings are on a road to nowhere. Hey!

Merry Christmas Purple Mafia faithful, on this Christmas Eve special edition! Nick Mullens has skills to throw the football, and is a gunslinger of a QB like fellow Southern Miss. Alumni Brett Favre was, but the mistakes are so much more often and so egregious, that people might wonder what he's on out there. The Detroit Lions would go on to win their first Division Title since it was still th...

After a fairly uneventful first half, things looked awfully promising when the Minnesota Vikings built a 17-3 in Cincinnati. Just as quickly, the tides would turn, with questionable play calls, and not using the proper advantages that were given by the Bengals run defense.

Another putrid showing by the Minnesota Vikings offense, wasn't enough to get past Brian Flores defense, as the Vikings somehow hung on to win 3-0 in Las Vegas. Josh Dobbs was ultimately benched in the fourth quarter in favor of Nick Mullens, who likely will be the starting QB going forward.

The Joshua Dobbs rocket science experiment appears to have been "Scrubbed", as suddenly our NFL Offensive version of a rocket scientist decided to force the fore mentioned quarterback to play completely out of his strengths. What did this change of plan get us? A 12-10 loss AT HOME to the last place Chicago Bears. Use my referral link for the Crypto.com App: https://crypto.com/app/mt4ysj...

God bless him, but Alexander Mattison has hurt this Minnesota Vikings team this season, time and again, with dropped touchdowns, weak performances, and momentum changing/back breaking fumbles. It's time to move on to Ty Chandler, as it could just have easily been Cam Akers just a few weeks back. Either way, a change needs to be made, there have been too many demoralizing performances. Use my r...

Josh Dobbs, and the Minnesota Vikings offense was incredibly impressive, creative and not afraid in the first half of the game. The second half was the polar opposite for whatever reason, along with the fact that Dennis Allen is a more than capable defensive coach, and the Saints defense is legit. Thankfully, the Vikings defense, along with Brian Flores were up to the challenge, and staved off the...
