Purple Mafia -Minnesota Vikings Podcast-

After Jaren Hall's impressive start and unfortunate concussion, Joshua Dobbs took over after being a Viking only since being acquired in a trade just four days prior. Things looked rough early for Dobbs, but just as quickly, the 28 year old spot starter got more and more comfortable in O'Connell's offense, and ultimately lead the Vikings to a gutsy win in Atlanta!

The Minnesota Vikings hand is now forced to make a decision regarding their long-term future as a franchise, with Kirk Cousins likely being out for the season with a sudden right Achilles tear during the fourth quarter of what was a fairly impressive win in Green Bay.

Monday Night was the feature presentation of 2023, at least so far, as Kirk Cousins, Jordan Addison, and Cam Bynum showed up to play, along with many other valuable pieces of this Vikings team. The fore mentioned Purple took an early lead, and never relinquished it, with a thrilling 22-17 victory over maybe the best team in the NFL!

Yeah, they won in Chicago, but this Vikings team is NOT serious, and hasn't been since the first drive against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it shows.

Time and time again this year, it feels like Minnesota Vikings fans are victims of a cruel prank. Opening drive to the one yard line? Pick Six. First play of the game? Fumble. In a game that the Chiefs almost wanted to lose, the Vikings offense continued their maddeningly inept overall play, and "came up short" yet again.

Funny how when the Vikings finally generate SOMETHING of a pass rush, and another coincidence, Marcus Davenport finally plays in a game, they actually win a game. Albeit, against one of the worst teams in the league, with a rookie quarterback, but without that pass rush, the Vikings might be 0-4.

The Minnesota Vikings proved to be generous tippers vs the Los Angeles Chargers, as two of the most pivotal plays of the entire game, ended up with the ball being tipped to those aforementioned Bolts.

The Minnesota Vikings are already a minus six in the take/give in a mere two weeks, which is a pretty good reason they are 0-2. As well as the Vikings appeared to be playing, especially defensively, there's only so much you can do, when you give the ball right back, time and time again.

The Minnesota Vikings offense was an utter failure Sunday afternoon vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Being this is episode 404, this is a once in a podcast history chance to call it "error 404", so it must have been destiny, Considering how ineffective the Vikings offense was for most of the second half of this game, literally like a network error, when you can't do anything. Use my refe...

The 2023 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and Joey your host has a list of players that could be floating around where the Vikings pick at 23, along with who the Vikings might trade up for, to try to hit a homerun! Joey eventually settles on a single player, who he would endorse as the Vikings pick if he was the GM and this player was indeed there at 23. We also get a great call in from the L...

NFL Free Agent season is here, and the Minnesota Vikings are hard at work, restructuring the roster, keeping some, while moving on with others to get the cap situation in a better place. Clearly Kwesi has a plan, and this team is going younger, heading towards long term success. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com @PigskinPodNet @draftki...

In the first segment, we put a Purple Bow on the 2022 season, including all the highs and lows, with all the dramatic comebacks along with the blowout losses, ultimately ending with being knocked out in the first round yet again. We pass out our yearly Minnesota Vikings awards and demerits at the end of segment one. In segme...

Brian Flores has been hired by the Minnesota Vikings as our new defensive coordinator. We can expect a much more aggressive approach, and certain player will look better in this more creative and deceptive scheme, versus the overly predictable shell defense of last season. Super Bowl LVII was one for the ages, but had a fairly disappointing end. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow @palad...

The Minnesota Vikings are still deciding on who shall be the next defensive Coordinator as our offseason remains on hold for the time being. The Forty Niners unfortunately had a similar fate as the 2017 Vikings, and the Cincinnatti Bengals lost a heartbreaker, while Travis Kelce make a complete fool of himself throughout the postgame festivities. Hated teams, but a great battle awaits us in Super...

The Minnesota Vikings have fired Ed Donatell, and have requested interviews with some intriguing candidates, we discuss this to open the show. We then get into the Divisional Round weekend, and preview Championship Sunday!

The Minnesota Vikings season came to a screeching halt, in all too familiar fashion if you've been watching this team for a number of years and a number of playoff appearences, dating all the way back to Superbowl IV, where all the disappointment started. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow @paladinolive paladinolive@yahoo.com @PigskinPodNet @draftkings If you or someone you know has a g...

The Minnesota Vikings won a preseason style game against the Chicago Bears, who will now pick first overall in the draft coming up this coming spring. Luckily the Vikings had no injuries in this one, and as expected, will host the New York Giants on Super Wild Card Weekend. The Vikings drew a team that is very beatable, but with star right tackle Brian Oneill gone for the year, how far can this te...

The Minnesota Vikings had a golden opportunity to end the Packers season, AND get a step closer to the number one seed in the NFL, and what happened? A game that was "A Blizzard Of Balls" in a 41-17 loss, that basically was 41-3 versus Dallas all over again. This game also brought back many a rotten late season memory, that has cost the Vikings a multitude of chances for home field advantage, dati...

The Minnesota Vikings went with an interesting look on Christmas Eve Saturday afternoon, with a whiteout through out the field, the fans in the stands and of course the uniforms, though their helmet stayed purple. It was an overall back and forth battle, as many a game have been this 2022 season for the Vikings and the New York Giants as well. Another game that may have been a loss, wound up a dra...

Down 33-0, the final frontier, these are the Voyagers of the Minnesota Vikings, their continuing mission, to explore large deficiets, to scare fans, if not themselves... to boldly do what no team has done before... The Minnesota Vikings made history on Saturday December the 17th, 2022, coming back from a hole, that no team has ever returned from. Regardless the situation, regardless who the oponne...

We all knew the dam would break at some point, (not that it didn't vs Philadelphia and Dallas) but also against a team that might not be a first tier club. Not just bad habits, but putting players in inopportune positions, and injuries to offensive lineman hasn't helped either. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow @paladinolive paladinolive@yahoo.com @PigskinPodNet @draftkings If you or s...
