Daily Norseman: for Minnesota Vikings fans

Vent with us! Or not, and let’s celebrate! Listen live as we go live in the final 2 minutes and ride with you through the overtime all the way to the victory. On this episode of Climbing The Pocket’s “The Final Score”, we react with you! Your Minnesota Vikings had the opportunity to clinch the NFC North today. All they had to do was defeat the 4-8-1 Indianapolis Colts. The team with the worst offense in the league. After the first half of the game where the Vikings have trailed 33-0, it won’t even be close to those results. Why so far have the Vikings not shown up? …And they finally did winning 39-36 in overtime. What defensive adjustments are we seeing that were promised? Not sure, but in the second half and overtime, they held the Colts to only 3 points. After the first half, the defense is well on its way to giving up over 400 yards again for the sixth game in a row. But they didn’t. They held the Colts to only 341 yards in 5 quarters. Should Ed Donatell be fired? Well, somebody needs to be the scapegoat.

On this episode of Climbing The Pocket’s “The Final Score”, we react with you! Vikings win! Vikings win in! The vaunted defense of the New York Jets has come to town. Can the Minnesota Vikings keep winning ways on track? Somehow, someway, they did. Will Kirk Cousins be hot to throw a lot of receptions? No. He had a bad day, but he did make some clutch throws when it was absolutely necessary. Can the defense stop Mike White and the Jets’ offense? When they had too at the end of the game. It was another cardiologist special down to the last 10 seconds. Will Sauce Gardner travel with Justin Jefferson from side to side? He did not. Can Kevin O’Connell increase his win total against a team that cut him years ago? Yes he can. The Vikings are now 10-2 baby! The Vikings took an early lead, but are looking to give it all back. Why do they do this? We still want to know. Do they want another chance at a comeback? No, but they did let it become way too close for comfort. The fans wanted them to put away the Jets, but ha

On today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers - your Minnesota Vikings are now 9-2 fresh off of a victory over the New England Patriots. It was a bounceback game that was very much needed after the Dallas Cowboys thoroughly destroyed the Vikings. The final score against the patriots was 33–26. The Vikings versus patriots matchup was a good one. They are one of the best defenses in the league and facing Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson trying to get back on track Justin Jefferson turned out to be unstoppable. Kirk Cousins got all fired up, almost as if he put on the Kirk Cousins chains. It was wonderful and Darren and Dave got to talk about it. The first thing will be the bounceback game and the victory that places the Minnesota Vikings firmly in the second seed in the standings. They presently owned a one-game lead over the Dallas Cowboys and a 2 1/2-game lead over the San Francisco 49ers. A three-game lead over the New York Giants. If Kirk Cousins keeps playing as well as he is, especially when it comes to making

On this episode of Climbing The Pocket’s “The Final Score”, we react with you! It is Thanksgiving and the New England Patriots are visiting the Minnesota Vikings. Are you full of food? Has the turkey put you into a food coma? Or is this game going back and forth to where it is tied in the first half got you excited? It should have, and chock one up for the local cardiologist. LOL. Will find out if Kirk Cousins can keep up his uptempo play without throwing another interception. He did and even got more fired up. Fired up Kirk is a better Kirk Cousins. The great Justin Jefferson has already broken the three-season pass-reception record for the NFL. How much more yardage or touchdowns is he going to add for the whole game? He finished with 139 yards and 1 touchdown. Adam Thielen is third on the Vikings' all-time pass reception list and continues to add to it. He had a great catch in the end zone as well. Dalvin Cook seems to be running pretty well, will that continue or get better in the second half? Not really.

On this episode of Climbing The Pocket’s “The Final Score”, we react with you! Your Minnesota Vikings are coming off a big win against the Buffalo Bills and now face the Dallas Cowboys. Will this be a letdown game? It sure looked like it and what could go wrong, did. After the first half, it looks that way. Starting with a third-play strip sack and a fumble was not good. Not to worry, Dallas ended up with a total of 7 sacks and the O-line couldn’t answer. “Onto the Patriots”, to channel our inner Bill Belichick. Knowing that the Cowboys started out fast and furious in the first half, can the Vikings come back? Not a chance. They were trailing 23-3 at the half. Can they stiffen and stop Tony Pollard from eating their lunch? No, they didn’t when he 189 yards all on his own and the Vikings offense only had 183. It looks like Christian Darrisaw has gone out with another concussion. Not good. Then later we saw that Ezra Cleveland had some undisclosed injury. After some good throws by Kirk Cousins, can he complete

In today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers - your Minnesota Vikings are fresh off their biggest win of the season where they beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime 33–30, but that’s not enough with their next opponent ready to stop the winning streak. The Dallas Cowboys come to town in week 11 to face the mighty Purple. Can Kirk Cousins out dual Dak Prescott? Who means more to the team? When it comes to stats they’re both not playing as well as they’d hoped this season, but one is getting wins. As usual, we will cover three themes in today's show. First, “look at us now,” a quote from Patrick Peterson. The Vikings currently have an 8-1 record and are the second seed in the NFC. They won their seventh Street game and look to win the eighth. It was a big important game up in Buffalo, and there have been very few that have rivaled it and just pure entertainment. Not only in entertainment, but also in importance. The Vikings pulled it out in the most imaginative ways possible, with the greatest catch ever, a failed quart
