It gets dark early this time of the year. We all know that. We just didn’t expect it with our football team. After the loss to the Detroit Lions, your Minnesota Vikings are looking to rebound against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The question is, does it matter? They will be playing in US Bank Stadium, in primetime, on Thursday night. It looks like the Mike Zimmer era is winding down to a close. Can having a good chunk of his defense back healthy be the catalyst to start a winning streak? Would it be enough to save his job? How about that of Rick Spielman? And is Kirk Cousins playing well enough early, versus waiting until later in the game when the defense is gassed, to make this all work? On tonight show, Matt, Ryan, and Dave will be looking at that. We will follow the normal Vikings Happy hour format until we get into the preview, and then dive into that stat look That you expect from the Two Old Bloggers show. Can the Vikings beat this year‘s Steelers? The answer should be a resounding yes, but will they? …And

Your Minnesota Vikings are facing the end of the Mike Zimmer era. The loss to the Detroit Lions solidified that fact, and barring a miracle finish to the 2021 season, the team will be welcoming some changes. For the miracle however, it will have to start with a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday night in US Bank Stadium. First, the In The Huddle group including Eric Eager, Myles Gorham, and Jayson Brown will talk about it. On tonight's show… Agenda: - Who’s to blame? - What to expect moving forward - Why are they like this? - How can they turn it around?/Can they turn it around?

Your Minnesota Vikings stay on the road, this time matching up with the Detroit Lions in their color rush silver uniforms. The Vikes are looking to get back to .500 once again and keep their hopes to slide into the playoffs alive. Will they? Nope. The Lions are looking to get their first win. Will they? Yes, they did. The beloved Purple are short some very key players, especially on defense. Eric Kendricks is out, along with Camryn Bynum who backs up the safety spot and comes in for dime situations. There is also Patrick Peterson who’s been on Covid IR. He could possibly, theoretically return with a second negative test. Will he? Nope. Then if the questionable of Anthony Barr and Mackensie Alexander don’t actually play, stopping even the Lions could be tough. Barr was out, but Mac was in. Over on the offensive side, the team will miss RB Dalvin Cook and LT Christian Darrisaw. Obviously Alexander Mattison will take over as the primary runner, and hopefully Kene Nwangwu will be spelling him. The only problem th

Your Minnesota Vikings are visiting the Detroit Lions looking to get back to .500 and stay in the playoff race. They feel that they can get a string of wins as the schedule looks to get a little easier. Will they? We all know how this team loves to keep it close playing up to or down to their opponents. There have been many times this season that they could have easily won, but seem not to by being unable to put a full game of complimentary football together. It could be the offense going ultra-conservative, the defense being unable to get a stop, or even tackle at times, to missed kicks. Even if all that goes right, then bum time management and bad challenges pop their heads up. Will this be the game the Vikes pull it together?  Dave and Darren who both started blogging on the Purple decades ago will go over a way to possibly see how this game will go and if the Vikings can win, so get ready for the Climbing The Pocket and Daily Norseman pregame show! Here are the themes for the show: We'll go over the usual

Mike and Ed discuss the not so disappointing loss to the 49ers, the playoff status, and what the Detroit Lions game could actually reveal about the Minnesota Vikings. Loss to 49er’s likely takes the Vikings out of the NFC North race Hold some wildcard tie breakers Possibly a frisky wildcard team Cousins worst game of the year Exceptionally poor Run Defense Positives Aggressive Zimmer Kick Return success What Detroit game can tell us If we struggle, serious doubts going forward If we maintain offensive aggression, could set the tone for the remainder of the season Need minimum 4-2 in the final 6 games to be in the wildcard race Predictions  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Minnesota Vikings are looking to get to .500 again, again. This time the Vikings have a chance to get there against the 0-10-1 Detroit Lions in their place. The Vikes are 7 points favorites but there are still issues on top of 9 of 10 games coming down to one score. Will this one? Football continues! Your favorite team has started its 2021 campaign, the no excuses season. It is time to go further than any other Vikings team before it. Can they? Flip and Eric are here for the 22nd episode of Viking Hot Takes on the Climbing The Pocket channel on Thursday night during half-time of the game. Following the usual format of the show, we put the usual 20 minutes on the clock and asked each other three questions: Flip asks 1. How many good players do the Vikings have? 2. What position would you spend a first round pick on? 3. Are the 2021 Lions as bad as the 2008 Lions? Eric asks 1. What was the most disappointing part of the loss to the 49ers? 2. Which player do you want to see more of on Sunday against the

The Minnesota Vikings suffer another one-score loss to a team that they could have beat. The San Francisco 49ers proved to be too much controlling the ball and time on the clock, especially after a Kirk Cousins quasi-meltdown in the second half. Can the Detroit Lions replicate the same results? Jared Goff is playing a little better, but he has some no-names to throw to. The Kitties do have a decent run game though, and that could target a Vikes’ weakness. With a depleted D-line, the part of the game that has suffered the most is defending the run game. The Vikings have some players that are in a questionable status as to whether they would play, like Patrick Peterson, Michael Pierce, and Dalvin Tomlinson. That doesn’t include those we know are out like Danielle Hunter and Everson Griffen. On the offensive side, Dalvin Cook will be out so most of the load will go to Alexander Mattison. He will be sharing time with Kene Nwangwu. That will be exciting to see.  The unspoken concern comes down to Kirk Cousins. He

It’s Monday and fans of the Minnesota Vikings are getting so tired of the hard losses. The Vikings went to the left coast to play the San Francisco. At the end of the the day, one marked by bipolar play calls, injuries to Anthony Barr, Christian Darrisaw, and Dalvin Cook, the already depleted defensive line couldn’t stop the run, their quarterback, Kirk Cousins had a temper tantrum throwing, bad throwing, neglecting his weapons in the second half day. He wasn’t the only with bad decisions either. Mike Zimmer hoarded timeouts in the first half instead of using them to help the offense score. Even with all of the that, the Vikings went out to their 11th 7 point lead or better in this season. Of course, the defense gave up a score within the final 2 minutes of the first half too. All of these wrong doings and conflicting play calls, and the Vikings were still in the game. That was until Kirk, with the game on the line, tries moving Justin Jefferson and KJ Osborn for lining up wrong, and then lines up behind his

Agonize with us! The Minnesota Vikings are on the road again. Two 5-5 teams battling to improve their playoff chances in Santa Clara. Your Minnesota Vikings take on the San Francisco 49ers to see with team will go above .500 and win their 6th game. Things don’t look well on the defensive side with D-Line anchors Everson Griffen and Dalvin Tomlinson out. The patched together replacements will face one of the heaviest running teams in the league. Will they hold up? Absolutely not. The 49ers had the biggest rush total of their season. Will Andre Patterson and Mike Zimmer scheme their butts off and figure out a way to shut down the run and force Jimmy Garoppolo to go to the air? Again no. Why would you do that when the running game was so effective? Can the Vikings’ offense stay aggressive and just plan on outscoring the good defense that the 49ers possess? Not when Kirk has one of his bad days with McNabb-like worm-burners, missing seeing open receivers, and skying the ball above receivers hands. Can the Vikes b

Two 5-5 teams meet and the winner will improve their likelihood of making the playoffs. Can the Vikings be that team? Your Minnesota Vikings traveled to to play the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams are coming off of 2 straight wins and see hope. Kyle Shanahan with Jimmy Garoppolo as his game manager will take their run heavy game against Mike Zimmer’s defense that has a depleted defensive line. Then there is WR Deebo Samuel that can burn you from just about any alignment. The corners will have their hands full for sure. Can the Vikings grab the victory? They have the talent, so let’s hope so. Dave and Darren who both started blogging on the Purple decades ago will go over a way to possibly see how this game will go and if the Vikings can win, so get ready for the Climbing The Pocket and Daily Norseman pregame show! Here are the themes for the show: We'll go over the usual stats to start - strengths and weaknesses of each team. Loss of Dalvin Tomlinson Tomlinson on COVID IR. He's been a key part of the d

The Minnesota Vikings are back to 5-5 after the win against the Green Bay Packers, but there is no time to let the effort wane. The team will fly to the west coast to match up against the San Francisco 49ers. We have gust Nine Beto of the Nine Sickness Podcast going the crew to enjoy some beverages and talk some football. The 49ers started out slower than they wanted and we can empathize with that. Like with the Vikings, they are riding a 2 game winning streak to bring them back up to .500. This game will have had all sorts of playoff implications, from getting there to head-to-head tiebreakers. Kyle Shanahan along with Jimmy Garoppolo looks to improve on that record against the Vikes. The problem is that Mike Zimmer and Kirk Cousins want to do the same thing vs the 49ers. Will they? Both teams have their share of injuries and for the Viking, Dalvin Tomlinson was ruled out today and has been put on the Covid IR list. The game looks to be a shootout type with each offense being able to score lots of points dec

It’s Packers week and fans of the Purple relish opportunity for the Minnesota Vikings to defeat the Green Bay Packers. Will it happen this week? Can Mike Zimmer win the chess match against Matt LeFleur and Aaron Rodgers? Can Klint Kubiak with help out call Joe Barry and his defense? This game promises to be one of the best this season and we all know what it means to us, and that obnoxious fellow employee at work. Can the Vikings grab the victory and silence them all week?
