Vikings vs Giants | The Final Score16 Jan 202300:50:17
On the Final Score today… It is Wild Card weekend and your Minnesota Vikings are taking on the New York Giants at US Bank Stadium. After a week of disrespect by the national media and especially the New Media being called things like frauds, illegitimate, more money going on the Giants, and even the crowd being called out for being too nice and not loud, the Vikings have the opportunity to use it as fuel and prove the haters wrong, once again. So far in the game, the Vikings started hot with an opening drive and then went silent until near half. Ed Donatell’s defense looks like the same ol’-same ol’ and the Giants have been scoring almost at will. Can the Vikings pull out another come-from-behind win again? Vikings are driving though. It ended up not being enough as the Vikings season ended with 31-24 loss to NYG. All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ Join us and share your frustrations and celebrations. 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 here. There are 4 regulars and the occasional guest. The focus will be on you the fan, and how you felt the team did—hopefully racking up the wins in the regular season. On today’s show, we have Jonas, Jason, Flip, and Dave riding live with you in the final two minutes. Fan with us!!! Guest Jonas Stärk @JonasStaerk and maybe Tyler Forness @TheRealForno.

Giants vs Vikings - Cunningham to Cousins: Can Kirk do what Randall did? | Two Old Bloggers🎙14 Jan 202301:30:57
On today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers🎙 - We are now into the postseason. Your Minnesota Vikings have the #2 seed in the NFC and are matching up against the #6 seed New York Giants. The teams have played each other three times in the playoffs with the Giants, holding a 2-to-1 edge. The last time the Vikings won was in 1997 led by Randall Cunningham. Can Kirk Cousins accomplish what Randall Cunningham did? First, we will take a look at what the Vikings learned from their contests against the Chicago Bears last week. Where are their goals met? Many players got to play after the starters were pulled in the second half. That extra game time for the backups has to help, doesn’t it? We’re going to do a round of quick hitters. That means going over who will start at right tackle. How stealing a player from the Bears has worked out great for the Vikings. And, looking at Darren‘s favorite player, Irv Smith Jr, and how he may be a key element in this Vikings playoff run. Finally, we’ll break down the Giants at the Vikings. What is it gonna take to win a second game in a row in the same season? That is generally a tough ask. Just ask your division opponents. Can the Minnesota Vikings win and split the playoff series with the Giants? All these questions, and more on today’s 2OB. Theme #1: What did the Vikings accomplish against the Bears? Theme #2: Quick hitters - Udoh/Brandel, Toga, & Irv Smith Theme #3: Giants vs Vikings Preview Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you are taking the time to enjoy it with us. Join us for your Minnesota Vikings talk amongst Two Old Bloggers and join the conversation! Fan with us!!!

On A Mission | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈10 Jan 202300:40:54
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings regular season is over and they won 13 games for just the third time in franchise history. The previous two times were in 1998 and 2017 with both teams making the NFC Championship Game. Overall, the 29-13 win against the Chicago Bears doesn't leave a ton of talking points, mainly due to the starters being pulled after halftime. We did get to see some young players get extensive action which will serve them well in emergency situations. On tonight's episode of The Real Forno Show, we will discuss: Vikings at Bears: The young players getting snaps What to make of K.J. Osborn's finish to the season Vikings vs Giants: How will the NFL Super Wild Card game against the New York Giants differ from Christmas Eve?

Vikings at Bears | The Final Score08 Jan 202300:39:37
On the Final Score today… It is the final game of the regular season and your Minnesota Vikings are looking for their 13th win. Will they get it? Absolutely! They started out with a 16-6 lead at the half which could’ve been a lot more if it weren’t for a couple of key mistakes. Justin Jefferson went over 1,800 yards for the season. In the second half, starting players have been pulled and backups are getting some playing time. We are seeing the likes of Venderian Lowe and Kyle Hinton in for Christian Darrisaw and Ezra Cleveland. Keen Nwangwu gets some RB snaps and even Jalen Reagor caught a pass so far and 2 total. At the end of 3 quarters, the Vikings lead still by 10 points, 23-13. Will they keep pressing to get the W? They did with the backups even. Joseph then hits a 53-yarder to make it 26-13. What are your thoughts on the game so far? They won! Do you like that the Purple by defeating the Chicago Bears, is keeping the heat on the 49ers? Yes. The #3 seed in the NFC playoffs is a lock, but the #2? Maybe? We will see. All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ Join us and share your frustrations and celebrations. 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 here.

Vikings at Bears - O-line Change, O-line Worries | Two Old Bloggers🎙07 Jan 202300:51:59
On today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers🎙 - We’re coming into week 18 and your Minnesota Vikings have a firm grasp on the #3 seed in the NFC playoffs, with a possibility if angels sing and unicorns sprinkle magic dust that they can accent to the #2 seed by the end of the day. Now what kind of miracle needs to take place? First, the Vikings need to defeat the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on that horrible turf. Second, the San Francisco 49ers must lose to the Arizona Cardinals to give it up. The Cards however are in pursuit of their own lousy record in hopes of a very high draft choice. Will that happen? Logically, doubtful, but anything can happen on any given Sunday in the NFL. Darren and Dave will be looking at three themes starting out with the offensive line worries. Due to some unforeseen and almost tragic injuries, both backup center Austin Schlottmann, and right tackle Brian O’Neill are out for the rest of the season. If Garrett Bradbury can come back to start at center, that would be great! However, like many of you when asked to help a friend move, his back is still bothering him. That means third-string center, Chris Reed, and third-string tackle, Oli Udoh, will get starts on Sunday. The offensive line will need this time to play so that they can gel going into the wild card weekend of the playoffs. Since this game should not be that competitive because the Chicago Bears are trying to lose and their hopes of gaining the #1 draft choice in the 2023 NFL draft, the question comes about, “Should the Vikes play the starters?” Head coach Kevin O’Connell is indicating that yes they will play. It could be because of those sensational hopes for the #2 seed, or it could be because they want to get a bad taste out of their mouth after being destroyed by the Green Bay Packers last week. Either way, it looks like we will see the starters, and it will be yet to be determined if that is a smart move or not. Then it’s onto those Windy City Bears who with a loss and a Houston Texans win, will get that #1 pick in the NFL draft. What does that mean for them? Well, they don’t really need a quarterback, if they believe in Justin Fields, who will not be playing on Sunday, so it could mean a massive haul in draft picks for some other needy team wanting to move up and grab a quarterback. That is what’s at stake on Sunday. So come join 20B in the analysis of what will happen in the near future. Theme #1: Offensive line worries Theme #2: Start ‘em or sit ‘em? Theme #3: Vikings at Bears Preview Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you are taking the time to enjoy it with us.

On this Vikings Happy Hour🍻… Vikings Happy Hour is back after another disappointing loss. Are these issues fixable or should we be concerned with this team as we get into the postseason?  To add to a bad loss the Vikings lost their backup C Austin Schlottmann and RT Brian O’Neill.

Lambasted In Lambeau | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈03 Jan 202301:01:13
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - Whew that was ugly. The Minnesota Vikings had a brutal loss at Lambeau Field when they lost to the Green Bay Packers by a score of 41-17. Outside of a blocked punt after just six total offensive snaps, nothing went right with some of it happenstance and some of it sheer luck. When we discuss this rendition of the Minnesota Vikings, calling them fraudulent is objectively asinine. They fell on the wrong side of every possible shade of luck and it's just one of those things that will happen from time to time, but it's the first time it's happened to this team. How did the Vikings lose this game? There were a lot of reasons but a few of them we will focus on specifically. -Poor coaching decisions -Frustrations mounting -The wrong cleats We will also discuss the future of this team and start the conversation about my SKOL Search series for Vikings Wire.

Vikings at Packers | The Final Score02 Jan 202300:46:23
On the Final Score today… It is January 1, 2023, and the perfect time to start an annual of beating the Green Bay Packers. Happy New Year everyone! Your Minnesota Vikings have traveled to Wisconsin to renew the tradition of sweeping our biggest border rivals. The first half has been brutal and the Vikings trail at half 27-3. Same at the end of the third, but the Packers scored starting the 4th quarter to make it 34-3. They have been behind by more and have come back, but can they do it today? Absolutely not. The final score ended up being Packers 41-17 over the purple. The Packers have shut down, Jaire Alexander in particular doing the smothering of Justin Jefferson all day so far. Kirk Cousins has thrown numerous interceptions, but mostly not his fault. One of them returned for a touchdown in a crazy start to this game. Will it get better in the second half? No, of course it didn’t. We will have to see. …And we saw. The Vikings drop to 12-4 and the #3 seed in the NFC Playoff picture. All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ Join us and share your frustrations and celebrations.

Vikings vs Packers - Cheese Anyone? | Two Old Bloggers🎙01 Jan 202301:00:43
On today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers🎙 - it is Packers week and your Minnesota Vikings are traveling to Lambeau Field for the second installment in the annual border battle. Cheese anyone? This should be a good one. We know Packers bloggers and podcast hosts have been slamming your Minnesota Vikings as being a fraudulent team this season. Does that mean we have to get back any of the 12 wins? Of course, it doesn’t. It just means they’re a bit jealous that the Vikings have a chance to end their 2022 season hopes. Today we’re gonna start by looking at the rookies in purple. Some have continued to contribute, others have not, and there’s a bunch that is getting better week by week. We’re gonna look at how those individuals are helping the team. We see increased snaps by individuals like Brian Asamoah, and Esezi Otemewo. They have been very critical. One of the smallest men on the team, Duke Shelley, has stepped up in a big way. He’s come in for an injured Cameron Dantzler and made his presence known. He may only be listed as 5‘9“, but he plays a lot larger than that. Finally, will break down the Minnesota Vikings at the Green Bay Packers. This is an NFC North rivalry that’s been around for a long time and that fans on both sides absolutely love. We relish the opportunity to sweep the Packers this season. No first-time head coach for the Vikings since Dennis Green has accomplished this. Will Kevin O’Connell pull out this rare achievement to add to the many that he has accumulated so far on the way to a 12–3 record? Will Aaron Rodgers play well without his number-one receiver? Christian Watson is questionable and may not play. Can Justin Jefferson continue to make Jaire Alexander look ridiculous? Jaire did a good job on his own this week commenting that in the first game, it was just a fluke that JJ and the Vikings performed so well. We will all see on Sunday. All this and more on today’s 2OB. Theme #1: Late season roles for rookies?

Can The Vikings Sweep Green Bay? | 🔥Viking Hot Takes🔥30 Dec 202200:27:48
It is Thursdays and that means🔥Viking Hot Takes🔥. After yet another one-score game where your Minnesota Vikings came out victorious in glorious fashion over the New York Giants. A 61-yard game-winning field goal as time runs out, after coming from behind again is pretty glorious. That moved the Vikings' record to 12-3 for the season. Now, in this NFC North matchup, can the Vikings sweep Green Bay? They will travel to Lambeau Field to meet their rivals, the Green Bay Packers in a nationally broadcasted late afternoon game on Sunday. The Packers still have playoff aspirations but can the Vikings extinguish them? Hopefully with extreme prejudice in the process of putting together their most complete game yet. Can Justin Jefferson make the push for 2,000 yards even more realistic? Will the healthy Vikings rookies continue to step up their contributions? It is all ahead in this special border battle with Flip and Eric adding their own spin next in the traditional Thursday debate. Join the show and tell us “what’s your take?” Flip’s questions: 1. Is Kirk Cousins worth his contract? 2. How much will Justin Jefferson’s next contract be worth? 3. Will MIN beat GB twice this year? Eric’s questions: 1. If Cam Dantzler is back to 100%, should he start over Duke Shelley? 2. Should Brian Asamoah get even more snaps in the playoffs? 3. Will the Vikings finish the season undefeated in one-score games? Fan with us!!! Flip Mazzi @Flipmazzi and Eric Thompson @eric_j_thompson go back and forth, and a spot by producer Dave @Luft_Krigare as part of a @Climb_ThePocket Network’s & @DailyNorseman’s production. Also, with our newest partner at CTP, Lake Monster Brewing @LakeMonsterBrew as we venture beneath the surface in search of something unknown and extraordinary.

Consistently Clutch | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈27 Dec 202200:56:56
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings might as well be the new cardiac kids as they let things go down to the wire with the New York Giants by a score of 27-24. They did so on the leg of Greg Joseph, who kicked a franchise-record 61-yard field goal to win the game. Sitting at 12-3, the Vikings still have a chance at the number one seed, as the Philadelphia Eagles lost 40-34 to the Dallas Cowboys. They need two losses by the Eagles and the Vikings need to beat the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears in the next two weeks. On Monday's show, we will be discussing quite a bit, including: -The record-setting performances on Saturday -What do postseason awards look like for the Vikings? -How good is this Green Bay Packers team? -Should the Vikings be resting players?

Vikings vs Giants | The Final Score24 Dec 202200:33:54
On the Final Score today… The Whiteout is full effect and your Minnesota Vikings are coming off of their big emotional comeback victory last week, and for most of this game seem a little dull. It is at the end of the third-quarter and the trail the New York Giants 13–10 after opening the game with a 10–0 lead, the Vikings defense looks to be returning to its old self , and that’s not a good thing. But they did get some key plays. Will the defense step up in the fourth quarter? For the most part. Will this be another comeback win for Kirk Cousins? It was, making 8 for this season and tying the NFL record. Does Justin Jefferson get enough catches to break the hundred yard mark again? He did for 133. We’ll find out! And we did. Join us in those final two minutes. Hopefully we cheer on a victory and don’t have to vent today on Christmas Eve. Your Vikings now have a 12-3 record so let Vikings and holiday cheer begin! All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ Join us and share your frustrations and celebrations. 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 here.

Vikings vs Giants - Whiteout | Two Old Bloggers🎙24 Dec 202201:08:46
On today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers🎙 - your Minnesota Vikings are coming off the biggest comeback in NFL history where they defeated the Indianapolis Colts 39–36. What a wild game. Now it is time to look ahead to the New York Giants and keep that number two seed in the NFC for the NFC playoffs and the best chance in the quest for their first Super Bowl win ever. The first Darren wishes to give his last words on that absolutely dramatic game last Saturday. Unfortunately, he was one of those people that left after halftime. It should be good to hear his thoughts on the subject. …And give him grief, of course. Then we get into our quick hitters for today. There is one apology that Darren wishes to extend and I tend to agree with him. He can count Dave in on this one as well. Over what? That he and Dave advocated for KJ “Ozzy“ Osborn to be overtaken by Jalen Reagor on the depth chart and with playing time. Osborn had his greatest game to date. He was a key factor in the Vikings winning the game. Reagor on the other hand… It gets frustrating sometimes. Then we will dive into that New York Giants team with head coach Brian Daboll. He is up for coach of the year in the NFL. I think Vikings fans might disagree a little bit thinking that Kevin O’Connell with the Vikings' 11–3 record is a better coach, but Daboll is doing a great job with what limited resources he had in New York, and this game may prove to be a little bit tougher than purple fans would like. all that and more on today’s 2OB. Theme #1: A few words about the greatest comeback in NFL history Theme #2: Quick hitters K.J.

A Moment of Reflection | Fifteen Minutes⏱️ with Flipmazzi21 Dec 202200:27:28
On this episode of Fifteen Minutes⏱️ with Flipmazzi - It’s time for an FMF Special when Flip texts you and says he wants to do one. Flip wants to take a moment of reflection. Your Minnesota Vikings come off of a truly historic come-from-behind victory over the Indianapolis Colts. In the game, there were many players that stepped up. They had to. It was a struggle that took everyone, not just on the field, but the fans in the stands cheering to build momentum and to power the Vikings to victory. In that, they won the NFC North Division crown for the 2022 season. As it sits right now, they are the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. The worst they can do is fall to the #3 seed. The best would be to win the NFC’s #1 seed, but that would require the Philadelphia Eagles to lose out. That is unlikely, but we can all hope. Join flip as he discusses these points below in this FMF special edition. 1. The Turning Point 2. The Unsung Heroes  3. Playoff Expectations  4. Next Man Up Next up… Beat the New York Giants.

On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - the Minnesota Vikings found a way to believe on Saturday with a historic 39-36 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The game was a tale of two halves.

In tonight’s episode, we will be breaking down each half individually because they were essentially different games. But luckily only counted as a single win moving the Vikings to 11-3 on the season. -Who is to blame for the first half? -What was the catalyst for the second-half resurgence? -How does John Candy play into this? -What can we take from this game? -The New York Giants game is a “White Out” All of that and more on Monday night’s The Real Forno Show!

Minnesota Vikings win with Harrison Smith Leading the Way, but Is the Offense a Cause for Concern?02 Oct 202300:28:15

The Minnesota Vikings clinched their first victory this season against the Carolina Panthers, courtesy of an outstanding defensive showcase by Harrison Smith. While Smith dominated on the defensive front, Kirk Cousins-led offense exhibited moments of inconsistency. While the win is a cause for celebration, the looming question remains: How much concern should we harbor for the team's future performances? Dive into the discussion with us!

Vikings vs Colts | The Final Score18 Dec 202201:16:03
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. Not this week. Our super fan, Mary Fisk, asks, “could this be the worst game in Vikings history?” I guess we have another half of football to sit through to find out. We did with the greatest comeback in NFL history. Wow! The team has at least scored in the third quarter. Can they score enough? Absolutely! They made history and won the NFC North Division crown in the process. SKOL VIKINGS! All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ Join us and share your frustrations and celebrations. 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 here.

It is Thursdays and that means🔥Viking Hot Takes🔥. Tonight, the guys will be getting together to debate "Defense?" and "What's Wrong?”  After the last game against the Detroit Lions, the Minnesota Vikings' defense has had multiple games in a row where they’ve given up more than 400 yards. What is terribly wrong with that side of the ball? This heavily weighs on Flip’s and Eric’s minds heading into tonight’s Viking Hot Takes. Will the defense give up that many yards against the Indianapolis Colts? Let’s hope not because the NFC North crown is up for grabs. It is time for the Vikings to rule the North again. Flip’s questions: 1. I blame _____ for the bad 2022 defense 2. What will be Minnesota’s final regular season record? 3. Dalvin Cook will finish the season with ____ rushing yards Eric’s questions: 1. Is the defense salvageable at this point in the season? 2. Would you bet over or under 0.5 playoff wins for this team? 3. When will the Vikings win the NFC North? Fan with us!!!

Time To Hit The Panic Button? | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈13 Dec 202201:04:15
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings finally had their streak of luck run short as they squander two banner offensive performances from both Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson in a 34-23 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. It wasn't quite a blowout, but the Vikings never felt in control of the game and they had chances to do so. The Lions didn't put the Vikings away until the very end with a field goal by Michael Badgley. There is a lot to talk about with this game, including: -Why the nerds were right about this team being fraudulent -Why the Vikings can still buck the trend and continue their success -Do we need to hit the panic button on defense? -How should we view the draft class We will start off the show with Nate Atkins, who covers the Indianapolis Colts for the Indianapolis Star. The Colts have lost in embarrassing fashion and beaten the Kansas City Chiefs en route to their 4-8-1 record this season. We will talk with Nate about this, how the two teams match up and get a score prediction from him as well. All of that and more on Monday night’s The Real Forno Show! Fan with us!!!

That is if the Vikings win of course. “Is it time?” Jalen Reagor has been putting up some pretty amazing plays lately. The question here will be, should he be included more in the offense? “Is it time?” These and four other questions will be fired back and forth between Flip Mazzi and Eric “dad joke” Thompson. Join the guys and find out their takes. What’s your take? Flip asks: 1. What position should the Vikings draft in RD1? 2. Are the 2022 Vikings the 2000 Vikings? 3. O/U 53 total points on Sunday? Eric asks: 1. Should the Lions be favored on Sunday? 2. Should the Vikings be using Jalen Reagor more on offense? 3. When will the Vikings win the NFC North? Fan with us!!! Flip Mazzi @Flipmazzi and Eric Thompson @eric_j_thompson go back and forth, and a spot by producer Dave @Luft_Krigare as part of a @Climb_ThePocket Network’s & @DailyNorseman’s production.

Refusing To Break: The Vikings Way in 2022 | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈06 Dec 202201:06:26
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings not only continue to find new ways to win, but also new ways to give the fanbase heart attacks. They gave the New York Jets every opportunity to win the game, but Camryn Bynum came up clutch with an interception to seal the game with 10 seconds left in a 27-22 victory.  The Vikings have been inconsistent on defense in some areas, but one where they have been consistent is refusing to break. They only allowed one touchdown on six red zone possessions and won their fourth game with a forced turnover to end it.  Next up for the Vikings is their division rival the Detroit Lions who just walloped the Jacksonville Jaguars 40-14 on Sunday. We will review the Jets game, preview the Lions game and more on Monday’s The Real Forno Show. - Vikings vs Jets, the win - The new Cardiac Kids? - Vikings at Lions - A viewer driven look forward, and early contract talk.

Vikings vs Jets | The Final Score04 Dec 202200:53:09
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 have failed to do so. At least the Ed Donatell defense has held the Jets to 5 field goals so far. That was short lived, but they came through in the end with a Camryn Bynum interception on 4th and goal. Ugh… Let’s go Vikings!

Vikings vs Jets - Another Test | Two Old Bloggers🎙04 Dec 202201:15:22
On today’s episode of Two Old Bloggers🎙 - your 9-2 Minnesota Vikings face yet another test, this time versus the New York Jets and their PFF ranked #2 overall defense in the league. The Vikings have played 3 of the top five defenses in the league in the last 3 weeks. Now they face the Jets, who have a great defensive line and a trio of cornerbacks. However, they will be at home in US Bank Stadium with the crowd behind them. This makes it challenging for any team to play, and it pumps up the boys in purple. Today we’re going to look at the Vikings’ screen game. It isn’t as effective as we would like, nor as we would think it would be with Kevin O’Connell coming from the Los Angeles Rams. They employed a very effective one last year. Darren and Dave will look at some of the things that contribute to why the Vikings aren’t excelling in that area. As Vikings fans, we all know and dread that one moment when something goes terribly wrong. A lot of times it has been a kick that veers wide left. Occasionally it’s a key injury or series of injuries that doom a beautiful start to a season like in 2016. There is always that one thing. We become fatalists knowing that the Vikings have never gotten it done. Then we will look at the New York Jets versus the Minnesota Vikings. The Jets are playing backup quarterback, Mike White, after benching their starter Zach Wilson after a regressive start to his second season. Mike White had a stellar game against the Chicago Bears last week. However, can he do that against a quality team with a defense that loves to lock you down in the fourth quarter? Can Kevin O’Connell’s Vikings offense stay on track and keep scoring over 30 points? We’ll look at the matchups and let you decide. Join the conversation on 20B. This and more today on 2OB. Here are the themes for the show: Theme #1: Why is the Vikings screen game ineffective this season? Theme #2: When is it going to go wrong? Theme #3: Jets vs Vikings Preview Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you are taking the time to enjoy it with us.

Jets vs JJettas: Sauce Gardner or Justin Jefferson? | 🔥Viking Hot Takes🔥02 Dec 202200:27:17
🔥Viking Hot Takes🔥 is back on Thursdays. Tonight they will be talking about air superiority vs air dense. Does rookie Sauce Gardner have what it takes to shut down Justin Jefferson? Does the Jets’ defense, one of the best in the league, have what it takes to shoot down the high-flying and precise targeting of the Kevin O’Connell offense? Can the air battle be won? What about the Vikings' defense getting two key players back against an offense against another backup quarterback in Mike White?  Join the guys and find out their takes. What’s your take? Flip asks: 1. Are the Vikings in the same tier as the 49ers? 2. Which injured player do we need back most? 3. The Jets are the __th best team we’ll play. Eric asks: 1. How will the Justin Jefferson vs. Sauce Gardner battle play out on Sunday? 2. How much better does Mike White make the Jets’ offense? 3. Why did you abandon us on Twitter?! Fan with us!!!

Adversity & Adjustments: The Vikings Way | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈29 Nov 202200:57:39
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings certainly like to keep interesting. After getting blown out by the Dallas Cowboys, they went toe to toe with the New England Patriots, coming out on top by a score of 33-26. Within the game, both teams traded scores throughout with all 12 either tying the game or taking the lead, but the biggest storyline coming out of the game was that head coach Kevin O’Connell overcame adversity and got the Vikings back on track to improve to 9-2. The biggest takeaways from Thursday night’s game were that this team can overcome adversity and they have made the necessary adjustments to succeed. As the Vikings move forward towards the playoffs and a division title, they face the New York Jets who offer a similar challenge to the Patriots with a very good defense and a paltry offense. Can they figure it out and get their 10th win? We will break it all down on The Real Forno Show. Welcome to The Real Forno Show. - Vikings vs Patriots - Kevin O’Connell responds - The Jets & the 10th win? All of that and more on Monday night’s The Real Forno Show! Join us LIVE at 6 pm central.

The Bounceback: Vikings Win vs Patriots | Two Old Bloggers🎙27 Nov 202201:05:26
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 plays downfield, that actually win games, the Vikings have a good chance of securing that second seed in the playoffs. If they are lucky, and the Philadelphia Eagles, lose two more games, they can compete for the first seed and cherished bye week. As for winning the NFC North, the magic number is down to two. One of the things of concern against the Patriots was how poorly the defense looked. Mac Jones had a career day for yards passed against them. Yes, the Vikings' defense has some injuries they’re dealing with in key positions, like with Dalvin Tomlinson at defensive tackle, Cameron, Dantzler, and Akayleb Evans at cornerback, and even with Za’Darius Smith, nursing an injured knee. Does that account for the decline in play over the last few weeks? Hopefully next week against the New York Jets, they will all be back and rested and we’ll find out. K. J. Osborn has established himself as a wide receiver #3 on this team. His targets and production however have been down. We had hoped we’d see him step up to compete with Adam Thielen for WR2, but it hasn’t materialized. Should we be concerned? Is Osborn a disappointment? He did make some important plays though. Be it in week three or against the Patriots when he denied an interception and caught the ball himself for a first down. But whether it is the scheme or lack of ability to get separation, he is not targeted as much this season as he was last year. That is driving the question. Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you are taking the time to enjoy it with us. This and more today on 2OB.

Vikings vs Patriots | The Final Score25 Nov 202200:37:15
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. Is the defense going to pick their end of the bargain up? Only at the very end, and that was enough. They seem to be very few pressures in the first half. Will they get more in the second? Late in game, yes, when Mac Jones needed deeper drop backs and couldn’t get away with his quick throws. Can the Vikings pull off the win and go to 9-2? They sure did in another 4th quarter comeback to win 33-26 over the Patriots. All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ 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 here.

Are The Vikings At A Turning Point? | 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈22 Nov 202200:55:36
On this 🎙The Real Forno Show 🏈 - The Minnesota Vikings did what they did multiple times during the Mike Zimmer era: forget to show up at home and get destroyed in an embarrassing fashion. They lost 40-3 to a very good Dallas Cowboys team that did whatever they wanted to the Vikings on both offense and defense. This isn’t new for a lot of this Vikings’ team. You can look back to 2016 vs the Indianapolis Colts, 2018 vs the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears in week 17, and the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. The one that is interesting was the loss to the Bills and getting beat by a rookie Josh Allen. They played on Thursday night that same week against the Los Angeles Rams and played really well in a 38-31 game loss that changed everything for Mike Zimmer. This is only the second loss for head coach Kevin O’Connell but it’s also his biggest adversity to date. This is a turning point for this Vikings team. How will they respond? Are they going to come out firing? Was it just an emotional letdown from this past Sunday against the Bills? They could go one of two ways. They could turn left and let the injuries and lack of a plan B, like a quick passing game, or max protect on the O-line derail the season. Or… They could also turn right and be motivated by this blowout and return to winning and learning to dominate teams and establish that they are for real and not just overly lucky. The choice will make or break KOC’s first season. Can he do it, especially with the #1 defense of the New England Patriots coming to town for a Thanksgiving evening battle? 202211 Welcome to The Real Forno Show. - Vikings vs Cowboys - At a turning point - Can KOC respond?

Vikings vs Cowboys | The Final Score21 Nov 202200:31:16
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 more? Not much. Justin Jefferson only has two catches in the first half, will he get more in the second? He got only one more. Can the Vikings make their biggest comeback of the season? Negative, as we’d say in the military. Join us and find out. All these questions, and more as we react at the end of the game, in the final two minutes, with Climbing The Pocket’s ‘The Final Score.’ 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 here. There are 4 regulars and the occasional guest. The focus will be on you the fan, and how you felt the team did—hopefully racking up the wins in the regular season. Today, Jayson, Matt, and Dave will be here. Did you like what you saw? Fan with us!!! Guest Jonas Stärk @JonasStaerk.

Vikings vs Cowboys - Dak Prescott & Kirk Cousins: Who Means More? | Two Old Bloggers🎙20 Nov 202201:04:43
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 quarterback sneak, and a dropped snap for a touchdown. We will do some quick hits in the second theme. The first one will be TJ Hockenson and what a difference he has made in just the two weeks he’s been on the team. The second will be Danielle Hunter, who seems to have found his place in the Ed Donatelle Defense. Defense production has shot up and everything has been great. The final quick hit will be how Kirk Cousins needs to go to Tom Brady’s school of quarterback sneaks. Kirk and the offense and struggled with this and it is a relatively simple play. The question is why? Finally, we will delve into the Vikings versus the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a mighty good defense and it will be a struggle to keep the Vikings' offense chugging and scoring points. Or will it? Darren and Dave will break down this matchup and more as this game is just as important as last week. Join us! Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you are taking the time to enjoy it with us. This and more today on 2OB.
