Daily Norseman: for Minnesota Vikings fans

Mike, Ed, and special guest Jeff talk about the ongoing Seattle Minnesota rivalry, and how each team can be successful in turning the corner early in their 2021 campaign. Difficult situations for both teams Seattle and Minnesota are both a game back in their respective divisions and need a win week 3 to try and keep pace. Both the Seahawks and Vikings are coming off of late close losses. Vikings Offense Will the Dalvin Cook injury hinder the Vikings run game? Can Justin Jefferson get going? How will the offensive line play after 2 games of inconsistent results? Seattle Offense New Offensive Coordinator Shane Waldron is clicking with Russ, but is it all smooth sailing? Where has DK Metcalf gone? Is he now Decoy Metcalf? Seattle Defense Lack luster pass rush allowing opposing offenses to run wild Suspect secondary leading to high scoring games Minnesota Defense Who can contain Metcalf (assuming he gets back to normal week 3)? Containing Russel Wilson will be key to the Vikings success Fundamenta

The start of the 2021 Minnesota Vikings season surely hasn’t started as we’d like. Your Vikings we face Kyler Murray and the whole Arizona Cardinals team down in the desert. Murray is known for his ability to be mobile and destroy game plans making victory difficult. Sunday was no different as the Vikings fell to the red birds 33-34. The offense started hot and Kirk Cousins hit his first long ball to KJ Osborn for a 64-yard touchdown on the second play of the drive. The defense still looked discombobulated with moments of very good individual play by the likes of Danielle Hunter [3 sacks], Eric Kendricks, Xavier Woods, Michael Pierce, and Nick Vigil, but as a whole, there were communication issues, blown coverages, and again for the second week in a row, some poor tackling. This all resulted in giving up 501 yards and 34 points. Wasn’t the defense supposed to be a strength this season? Then there was the bane of Vikings fans everywhere… Greg Joseph missed an extra point, hits two 52 yard field goals, only to

BJ Reidell and Drew Mahowald discuss the Minnesota Vikings' heartbreaking 34-33 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, dissecting Greg Joseph's missed kicks, Mike Zimmer's coaching decisions and a handful of reasons to be optimistic about future performance.

The Vikings are 0-1 and after today, will they register a win or drop to a dreaded 0-2? 0-2 it is. The Minnesota Vikings were on the road again against the 1-0 [now 2-0] Arizona Cardinals. Will Kirk Cousins throw further downfield? Some. Will Mike Zimmer finally watching film with Cousins make the difference? Looked like it at least until the end. Can the offensive line give him time or will Chandler Jones, J.J. Watt, and the rest of the Cardinals’ defensive front have a field day? They had a good day. Can the Vikings defense contain Kyler Murray and his slew of wide receiver targets like DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore? We’ll surely find out, and they didn't often enough. These games count, and we’re live at the last whistle. The Final Score crew and you the fans will discuss it here! 1) Highlights 2) Lowlights 3) Speed round and your questions 4) What’s ahead The Final Score [the name for CTP’s Postgame show] is ready for the season. There are 4 new regulars and the occasional guest. The focus will be on

During NFL Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings took on the Cincinnati Bengals and it didn’t turn out like we thought it would. It’s onto Week 2 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Will that turn out like we want? It’s time for Viking Hot Takes. The FAST MOVING Minnesota Vikings Talk Show. We have Eric Thompson from the Daily Norseman. We’ve got Ryan Ortega in for Flip Mazzi from Climbing the Pocket. SO Buckle Up, protect your kneecaps and Let’s GO! Football is underway!

Eric, with guest Ryan are here for the 16th 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: Eric asks 1. On a scale of 1-10, how high is your Panic Meter after the Week 1 loss? 2. What do the Vikings need to do to slow down Kyler

Mike and Ed take a look at what it will take to ground the Cardinals, and improve to 1-1 on the season in a seemingly must-win game for the Vikings. Bengals Debrief Not a great game penalty wise Kirk Cousins missed some obvious throws Klint Kubiak slow start as offensive coordinator - anomaly or trend? Defensive backs had a rough day at times - can Mike Zimmer coach them up in time to stop Kyler Murray and friends? Arizona Offensive line must improve Rashod Hill with a tough test against a surging Chandler Jones Garrett Bradbury bullrushed to oblivion - needs to get better quick Vikings Defensive line had a solid outing - need to repeat and build Michael Pierce showing why we signed him ahead of 2020 Offense, not Defense Offense, not Defense will be required to beat Arizona Interior pressure will help Danielle Hunter get after Kyler Murray Defensive backs should play better given Mike Zimmer’s history of adjustments after down games Special Teams One game in and the special teams appears to be

Join us for a conversation on your Minnesota Vikings. Some of your favorite Climbing The Pocket personalities gather together with you to talk about the Minnesota Vikings. Tonight, we have the founders… the original crew… of Climbing the Pocket getting back together to ask, “Whassup?” What happened on Sunday as the Vikes faced the Cincinnati Bengals? What was good and what wasn’t? Can the team rebound against the Arizona Cardinals? What did we see from the teams weapons? What about Mike Zimmer’s defensive scheme or the offensive scheme of Klint Kubiak? Is there hope? Come join the conversation with the guys as they discuss the Vikings, these topics, and more. SKOL! On tonight's show… Agenda: Welcome back OG crew. What’s good? What happened on Sunday? Highs/lows and can they rebound? KJ Osborn and his performance. What was seen schematically from the Vikings? How’d weapons outside of Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and Dalvin Cook perform? If only Zimmer or Kirk can stay, who do you choose and why? Fa

Phil Mackey [@PhilMackey of @SKORNorth] asks to join the show. What could go wrong? This will be fun! After the results of the Minnesota Vikings vs Cincinnati Bengals, let’s turn your Monday Purple. Join Climbing The Pocket’s and Daily Norseman’s live show to get you talking on Mondays. This will make your Monday better as you join Tyler Forness and Deshawn Vaughan for the conversation of your Minnesota Vikings. Being a fan of this team has never been dull and sometimes painful. Good or bad, it has always been frustrating but entertaining. CTP Mondays will give you a chance to vent, agree, disagree, share your thoughts, and help cheer on the Purple. The team has played their first game and flushed it down the preverbal toilet. The wheel of blame on a loss spins and there are plenty of options to throw on it. What was your favorite? Sloppy play, uninspired play, were they ready? Even with all that, the Vikings had chances to pull the game out, especially after getting into overtime, but come away with the fi

Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us. All games count. Your Minnesota Vikings travel to play the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. This matchup will be interesting with a Vikings new look defense versus Joe Burrow about 9 months from blowing an ACL. Burrow is in his second season, but only his 11th game. Mike Zimmer has a 5-2 opening game record, and an even better one against first and second year QB’s. Seeing the defense communicate and gel to keep that record growing should happen, but will it? Both the Vikes and Bengals have some good players and weapons on both sides of the ball, but for both teams, their offensive lines are question marks and defensive lines, especially in the interior pretty good. It will be a good test for both. We’ll look and talk about some stats, the weather at gamete and the new 2021 Bengals uniforms. Join Dave and let’s talk what you want to see. 1) Where’s Darren? 2) Stats dive. 3) Weather report and the Bengals wearing white jerseys. Obviously looking to get heat beating

The roster is set. Week 1 is upon us. Who will star? Who will win as the Vikings go to take on the Cincinnati Bengals?  It’s time for Viking Hot Takes. The FAST MOVING Minnesota Vikings Talk Show. We have Eric Thompson from the Daily Norseman. We’ve got Flip Mazzi from Climbing the Pocket. SO Buckle Up, protect your kneecaps and Let’s GO! Football is back! Your favorite team embarks on its 2021 campaign. No excuses this season. It is time to go further than any other Vikings team before it. Can they? Flip and Eric are back for the 15h episode of Viking Hot Takes on the Climbing The Pocket channel on Thursday night. Following the usual format of the show, we put the usual 20 minutes on the clock and asked each other three questions: Flip asks Adrian Peterson’s career might be over. How’s that make you feel? Give me one offensive and defensive X-factor for Week 1. How many targets for Justin Jefferson in Week 1? Eric asks Will Brian O’Neill’s big contract extension be worth the money? Which new or return

Vikings writer Tanishka Mhaskar joins Matt and Ryan to talk your Minnesota Vikings. They’ll look at the roster, then preview how they will match up against the Cincinnati Bengals. They’ll also be the first Climbing The Pocket crew to talk about Brian O’Neill’s new 5 year extension. $92.5M is a lot of money for a right tackle. It is at least market value or better and is the second highest paid RT in the league. With the salary cap projected to skyrocket in future years, and Kirk Cousins most likely coming off the books in the future, fans may get over the shock and actually think this could be a bargain. Maybe not. Do you?  Discussion topics tonight: Depth Chart discussion  - Surprises? - Takeaways  Brian O’Neill’s contract extension Cam Dantzler fall from grace  Takeaway’s from Zim presser Preview Bengals/Vikings Matchups: - Our WR vs their DBs No Trae Wayne’s OL vs DL  Hunter vs Reiff Prediction Fan with us!!!

Good or bad, it has always been frustrating but entertaining. CTP Mondays will give you a chance to vent, agree, disagree, share your thoughts, and help cheer on the Purple. The guys have a special guest, Mike Santagata from Sports Illustrated’s All Bengals Fan Nation site and contributor to Locked on Bengals. He will be discussing his team and what we can look forward to seeing on Sunday when the Vikings travel to meet the Cincinnati Bengals in the first regular season game of 2021. He’ll give us some insight on Joe Burrow, Jessie Bates, Tee Higgins, and Joe Mixon. DJ Reader, the big fella in the middle of the defensive line, along with Mike Hilton and Eli Apple at the corners. Trae Waynes is of course out again

Join us for a conversation on your Minnesota Vikings. Some of your favorite Climbing The Pocket personalities gather together with you to talk about how the Minnesota Vikings have made Modesto get to the final 53 man roster. There was a trade for TE Chris Herdon from the New York Jets. QB Jake Browning was waived but after being told he’ll still be the QB2 from the practice squad if he makes it through waivers. RB Kene Nwangwu made the 53 but will go on IR for a minimum of 3 weeks. Migraine inducing Dra Samia and Dakota Dozier have been released. Samia with an injury settlement, and hoped from the Vikings that they can get Dozier back on the practice squad [he knows the playbook]. Chad Beebe put on IR and is out for the season. And in a surprise move, cut Everson Griffen. Many more moves were made and the guys will get joined by you to talk about it. Where they the right ones? Come join the conversation with the guys as they discuss the Vikings, these topics, and more. SKOL! On tonight's show: - The final 53

Just remember, this was a preseason game, and wise or not, Mike Zimmer has not fielded all his starters for any of them. It is definitely a gamble and will turn the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, one that counts, into that final tune-up. Let’s hope it works out. Your Minnesota Vikings flew down to play the Kansas City Chiefs in the final preseason tune-up for the season. Andy Reid has already the Chiefs ones will play the first half. He is obviously treating this as the traditional 3rd game of the preseason when there were 4. Mike Zimmer said he will play most of his starters too, but more like last week. Veterans like Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen will be out however, limiting the offensive weapons Kirk Cousins will get to play with. The KC defense has shined in their previous two games and this will definitely be a test for the newly assembled offensive line. Can Rashad Hill redeem himself after giving up a sack last week? Will the interior of the O-Line conti
