More Kwesi and O'Connell discussion leads to more and more reasons why Darnold's success in Seattle was much more complete than it was ever going to be here. The Seahawks clearly have the best defense in the NFL, and won in an old school style that many may have forgotten.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Minnesota Vikings in a strangely timed move, fired General Manager Kwesi Adofo Mensah, late Friday morning. #Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
As predicted from the opening round, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will clash in Super Bowl LX. In two incredibly close games, which came down to the final moments, the Patriots and Seahawks emerged and will face each other in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX. Will this upcoming game also come down to the last play, as did the one 11 years ago?#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The much anticipated Divisional Round in the NFL Playoffs generally lived up to the hype, with two epic overtime battles and two not so much performances. Can the Seahawks be beaten? Are the Patriots returning to Dynasty status? Will the Bills ever get over the hump?#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
In this episode, I talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of this past weekend's "Super" Wild Card Weekend, and preview the upcoming Divisional Round, which is arguably the best of them all!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
For what it's worth, (and it isn't much) the Minnesota Vikings finished the 2025 season with a five game winning streak. The good news is that J.J. McCarthy has a pulse and could be a legitimate number one quarterback, going into 2026. The bad news is, we don't know if the guy can stay healthy for more than half a season. We potentially bid adieu to both Harrison Smith and C.J. Ham.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
After looking like this team was dead last, no matter what happens the rest of the way, the Vikings find themselves in third place in the NFC North, with a season sweep of the plummeting Detroit Lions, despite three net passing yards! So much for that high draft pick, or last place schedule in 2026!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Vikings won an ugly low quality football game in which multiple receivers dropped catch-able passes if not batting the ball in the air for more unearned interceptions. The real elephant in the room is, after two season and only 8 games, can JJ McCarthy stay healthy?#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Minnesota Vikings showed up in Dallas on Sunday night, and JJ McCarthy was ready to roll, as the 22 year old quarterback took more steps forward in his young career.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
Vikings Coach Kevin O'Connell finally used common sense, and balanced out the running game with the passing game, as well as setting up rookie JJ McCarthy to be successful, which is quite an improvement, unfortunately it took 14 weeks to get here...#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Minnesota Vikings were shutout for the first time since November 11, 2007. Their definitely is a pattern to how things have gone, week by week, for the last several weeks, and it's beyond maddening. Could real changes be on the way at the end of the season?#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
Many are wondering when it is time to pull the plug, at least for now, regarding J.J. McCarthy as the starting QB, after another disappointing showing, this time in Lambeau field.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
JJ McCarthy is starting to remind Vikings fans of Christian Ponder or enter other QB busts. Will he develop? #Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Minnesota Vikings committed an in incredible eight false start penalties against the Baltimore Ravens, and the craziest part was, this was a home game!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
J.J. McCarthy is back, and couldn't have come at a better time, not to mention a healthier offensive line! The Vikings defense showed us what we were hoping for, for so long, an actual pass rush, and an ability to stop both Detroit stand out running backs!!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
In short, the Vikings were "zapped" on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. This game was a virtual no show on both sides of the ball, leaving us either speechless or ranting up a storm!#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Minnesota Vikings offense went one of six in the redzone, which is as damning as it gets. What's also damning is the fact that this pass defense was completely outplayed/out coached. Finally what feels like why this team is 3-3, is the fact that this defense as a whole, outside of the Cincinnati blowout, refuses to make that game changing play, it's non existent, week after week.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
The Vikings offensive line was short three starters, and the linebackers were still missing two, so we knew this game would be ugly, and it was. Carson Wentz was clutch when needed most, and the Vikings survived a game in which it felt like they were going to lose, until the end.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
In a game that felt like all was lost, the Vikings pulled us back in, with a furious rally in the forth quarter. What ensued as the Vikings started what could've been a drive to victory, we all realized we should have known better. The Vikings injuries continue to mount, and with an offensive line in the position it is right now, this doesn't even resemble a playoff team.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
In a historical thrashing, Isaiah Rodgers made his presence known, starting off with a pick six, then forcing a fumble, in which he had a scoop and score, and finally another forced fumble, making him maybe the easiest Fran Tarkenton award in the history of this 17 year old Podcast. Another player made his presence known, and that was Left Tackle Christian Darrisaw, who made a huge difference protecting veteran QB Carson Wentz throughout the game.#Vikings #NFLCONNECT WITH MEEmail: paladinolive@yahoo.comSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashowfacebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223X: @purplemafiashowInstagram: @purplemafiashowtiktok: tiktok.com/@purplemafiashowThreads: purplemafiashow
