Ode To Jerry Burns And Mailbag!

The Minnesota Vikings 2021 draft is complete, and many a Vikings fan comes out of this draft feeling satisfied, when you consider what crucial positions were addressed this time around. Vig It App Referral: Paladinolive facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

Draft Review 2021

It's finally time to focus on the 2021 Draft, and what direction the Vikings could and should go. Will they finally shore up the offensive line, take a quarterback, and/or just focus on defense yet again? facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

Draft Preview 2021

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!

Free Agency 2021

The annual Granddaddy of them all is here, as we put a bow on the 2020 Vikings season, and look ahead to 2021 with free agency and draft conversation. We then get to the fan interaction segment, hearing from Gerald Syring, then we pass out the Stars of the year, and finally we name our 2021 Purple Mafia Hall Of Fame Class! facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

State Of The Vikings 2021

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 have a new Special Teams Coordinator and Strength and Conditioning coach. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

No One Will Catch Brady

The Kansas City Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl, with a fairly one sided win over Buffalo, while Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took care of business in Lambeau, despite Mike Evans nearly gave it all away. Will Aaron Rogers return to Green Bay? facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

Conference Review/Super Bowl LV Preview

We enjoyed some high quality football this past week, including a controversial play or two and maybe the end of a legend's career. Next week's Championship Sunday should be spectacular, as there isn't a bad match up as any of the four remaining teams can win it all in my estimation. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

Divisional Review, Conference Preview

The NFL Playoffs are here, Joey reviews a classic Wild Card weekend, and previews what looks to be an epic Divisional Round coming up! facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

Wild Card Review/Divisional Preview

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... Your host makes his postseason predictions, and of course gets to all your comments and thank you to everyone who has stuck with this show through thick and thin. facebook.com/purplemafiashow @purplemafiashow paladinolive@yahoo.com

7-9...

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

Worst. Run Defense. Ever.

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

Literally Ran Over

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

We Are Who We Thought We Were!

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

They Are Who We Thought They Were

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
