In another game that should have been a wider margin of victory, Will Reichard "Big Leg Bill" stood out, with a 54 yard, a 52 yard and the 41 yard field goal, to clinch a 23-17 victory over the Jets in London!

The Minnesota Vikings have been active in free agency, but it certainly has come at a cost, saying goodbye to the likes of Kyle Rudolph and especially troubling in losing Riley Reiff with no replacement as of yet. The Good news however is the Vikings are set at Defensive Tackle, signing Dalvin Tomlinson, along with the surprise signing of 10 time pro-bowl conerback Patrick Peterson!

Tom Brady with the excellent Buccaneers offense and defense pretty much dominated Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV. Brady was outstanding, particularly in the first half, to help the Bucs build a big lead, while the powerful Tampa defense took care of business after that, versus a depleted Chiefs offensive line.

The Vikings were annihilating the Green Bay Packers 28-0, only to start making the most egregious mistakes, like dropping a fair catch, being strip sacked, and simply doing nothing right for a quarter and a half. Thankfully, when it looked like all was lost, Justin Jefferson, Sam Darnold, and Byron Murphy Jr. saved the day, and averted one of the most frustrating losses in recent memory.

Another Vikings season comes to a close, and once again we're stuck somewhere at or near the middle, which does nobody any good. Many a fan wants to move on from Zimmer, but we can't yet... Many a fan wants to move on from Cousins, but we can't yet...

What more can you say? The Vikings gave up seven rushing touchdowns to the Saints on Christmas day, six of them to Alvin Kamara, the most since Ernie Nevers in 1929. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Vikings defense has been so depleted of key players, it's no wonder they can't stop the run during this lost year. Cousins was solid in the game, but once again couldn't get the pass protection when needed most. Cook was elite but this team cannot put all their eggs in his basket, because in the long run, that never works. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Dan Bailey was the first kicker to miss all four kicks in one game since 1961, he's a huge reason why the Vikings lost, but certainly not the only reason. The Vikings were undisciplined time and time again with repeat unnecessary hits, holds and interference which left many a Vikings fan more than miffed all day. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In one of the ugliest games you will ever see, the Vikings barely crawled past the second worst team in the league and somehow are the 3rd Wild Card team in the NFC, due to Arizona's ongoing collapse. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In a game that was filled with ups and downs for both sides, the much maligned Chad Beebe had a moment that would have crushed many a reserve player. When Beebe fumbled the punt with only 2:18 remaining in the game, it looked like all was lost and I was calling for Beebe's head. When given opportunities on what would be the game winning drive, Beebe came threw with three catches and the game tying touchdown. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

We just knew there would be a letdown at some point, and here it was. Kris Boyd made the kind of mistakes that often get players cut in the preseason.

Dalvin Cook continued where he left off in Green Bay, with a 206 yard effort on the ground, not including 46 yards receiving to boot.

Dalvin Cook returned the Vikings line-up, and got right down to business. Cook went on the be the first Minnesota Viking to have a combined four touchdowns in a game since Ahmad Rashad in 1979! Kirk Cousins played a game manager role, and that proved once again to be the right decision, as the Vikings defeated the Packers in Lambeau for the first time since 2017. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Kirk Cousins opened the game with a bad interception, it which he looked the fool. Most of the rest of the game was as ugly as it gets, Atlanta's defense was motivated, and Matt Ryan looked like the NFL MVP again throughout the game. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow @paladinolive Audio Submissions: paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Justin Jefferson is showing he is a legitimate receiver in this league, Kirk Cousins continues to show that he has an arm, but not much else to go with the package. Luckily, the Vikings offense, lead by the big three of Cook, Thielen and Jefferson, was just enough to lead this club to it's first win of the season. The more than questionable coaching and play calls by Bill O'Brien helped the Vikings cause as well. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Kirk Cousins is not someone that can be counted on for a game winning drive. Sure he's done it before, but very few times, and very far between.

Aaron Rogers and the Packers dominated the ball pretty much from start to finish, regardless if the Vikings managed to score 34 points in this game.

In a game that had it's share of mistakes, with up to 14 points left on the field, one being an interception against Sam Darnold in the redzone, or Aaron Jones fumbling at the 2 yard line, in what should have been a sure touchdown, the Vikings hung on and won. Sam Darnold showed many of us how he can perform under pressure against the league's best, despite being extremely limited in available weapons!

Superbowl LIV will be a Sea Of Red, as the San Fransisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs both did more than enough on Championship Sunday, to move on to the biggest game of the year. The Minnesota Vikings have major job openings at offensive and defensive coordinator, but don't expect anything too surprising, as more than likely Mike Zimmer and Gary Kubiak will hire/promote from within. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The Minnesota Vikings had what felt like our annual big letdown on Monday night, as the Purple offense was rendered useless against a greatly improved Packers defense.

It wasn't a bad day for the Los Angeles Chargers, it was pretty much a disaster, as your host called it an "Electrical Fire". After a pretty tight first half, Phillip Rivers started turning the ball over at a reckless pace, along with Melvin Gordon III fumbling multiple times as well. A win is a win, and 12-4 is that much closer, but this game left us wondering what it all means a the end of the day. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @puplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The Minnesota Vikings' four game quest to 12-4 is now one fourth of the way there, with a not so interesting 20-7 victory over the depleted and defeated Detroit Lions. The Purple defense looked much better, as Danielle Hunter got three sacks, and a shutout was intact until the final few minutes, but this felt more like a preseason game if anything. Luckily, this one counts! facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Minnesota Vikings came out firing, and then things took a turn for the worse. Xavier Rhodes gets worse week by week, how much longer can this coaching staff put him on the field? Kirk Cousins led another unexpected comeback, but this time things just did not work out, and the officials swallowed their whistles pretty much the entire game. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It's safe to say the start of last season had some negative vibes, that lingered most of the season, and ultimately fell off the face of the Earth. This season opener feels like the opposite, especially having what appears to be a competent quarterback at a $25 Million dollar a year discount.

In a game that looked horrendous, and reminiscent of last season's debacle versus the Buffalo Bills in US Bank Stadium, to our great surprise things changed dramatically in the second half. With all of that said, Rhodes was a bad as ever, and some of the offensive execution down the stretch was far from pretty, as the offensive line did Cousins and Dalvin Cook no favors. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

After a disappointing game last week, the Kubiak and Stefanski combo came up with a near perfect offensive game plan against a stingy and aggressive Dallas defense.

The Minnesota Vikings remain win-less historically in Arrowhead Stadium, as yet another backup quarterback was able to make the once great Vikings' cornerbacks look as bad as ever. This loss pretty much falls on everyone, the coaching, the schemes, Cousins' inaccuracy, dumb as hell penalties, and just poor execution to sum it all up. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877 Learn more about your ad choices.
