Kyler Murray it is, whether we like it or not. The price is definitely ok, when it comes to the 2026 starting QB, but what is the plan exactly?

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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: purplemafiashow

The Minnesota Vikings in a strangely timed move, fired General Manager Kwesi Adofo Mensah, late Friday morning. #Vikings #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: 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 #NFL CONNECT WITH ME Email: [email protected] SOCIAL MEDIA Subscribe to our YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556704867223 X: @purplemafiashow Instagram: @purplemafiashow tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@purplemafiashow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads: purplemafiashow
