Purple FTW! Podcast

Our Minnesota Vikings went out on a high note Sunday as the Men of the North held off the Chicago Bears 13-9 Sunday at The Bank.

The Vikings end the season a 7-9 and considering all that has happened this season with injuries, Adrian, & other off field issues, 7-9 is a hell of an achievement for 1st year head coach Mike Zimmer and rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater.

The future is looking bright as Teddy looks legit and is poised to move forward as the face of the franchise. (Sorry, Adrian. #ByeFelicia)


2014 Was a Fun Ride Talkie Points Include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Mr. Mankato Love
• Asiata Appreciation
• Audie Cole Respect
• The Zimmer Hellfire Defense Rebounded
• Harrison Smith is Elite
• Jared Allen Loveletter
• Chad Greenway. The End?
• The Last Game of The Christian Ponder Era
• PurpleFTW Helmet Stickers


All that and other "Can't Wait for 2015" jibber-jabber on this edition of the #PurpleFTW Podcast!

A very special holiday message from Purple FTW!

***********************

'Twas a coach named Mike Zimmer, and all through his team
Mediocre was not acceptable, if you know what I mean
Teddy Bridgewater is the future, all Vikings fans hope
We felt the same about Ponder, but now we look like big dopes

The Fans will be at the bank, all snug in their Vikings gear
Hoping to end on a high note, a hip flask of fireball be near
The Bears coming in, we will put Cutler on his back
Jared Allen is coming home, but he won't get a sack

The offense is rolling, with many missing this season
Injuries and off field stuff, are all the main reasons
IN is Charles Johnson, OUT is Cordarrelle Flash
Matt Kalil is out too, next season might be his last

But that Defense is rolling, even with a few hitches
This ain't 2013, the year we all looked like... Fools
Harrsion Smith is an All-Pro, Everson should be too.
Anthony Barr's better than Clowney, who would have thought or would have knew

Mike Zimmer is blunt, and he pulls no punches
He's got no time for BS, guesses or hunches
He was the kick in the pants this team did need
Now get him some weapons to finish the deed

Teddy Bridgewater's the man, even on those skinny knees
He started driving this offense after he got the keys
Throws with anticipation, way than better than Manziel
and all of the haters Teddy can go straight to hell
“Now CJ, Now Rudolph”
Now Jennings and Wright”
On B-Rob, on Xavier
That coverage so tiught.
To the top of the North
To the top of them all
Now do your thing do your thing
Vikings Football!!!

2015 is the season we all anticipate
A division title in the offing, or at least 8 and 8
Mike Zimmer and Teddy, our future's pristine
Skol Vikings to all, and Super Bowl 2015!

Julie DiCaro (@JulieDiCaro) of 87.7 The Game Chicago stopped by to preview the Vikings-Bears season finale Sunday at The Bank.

It won't have the same cachet as the finales of Serial, Sons of Anarchy, or even Dexter. But if the Vikings (6-9) kick some Bears (5-10) ass in the final week of the season, it will go a long way to endear purple fans to Mike Zimmer and Teddy "The Future" Bridgewater even more.

We discuss our enemy in depth and probe for their weaknesses. Me thinks #6 might come up a time or two.

Behind Enemy Lines Talkie Point Include:
• The Glory of Monday Night Raw in Minneapolis
• Julie's story
• Marc Trestman. Dead man walking?
• Jay Cutler is starting. Huzzah
• Cutler to Tennessee?
• Jared Allen vs Julius Peppers
• Assessment of our boy Brock Vereen
• Chris Conte comments
• David Fales one time
• The future of Matt Forté
• Mel Tucker & Aaron Kromer LOLs
• End of the road for Peanut & Briggs? (smokehouse55.com)

• Julie's STONE COLD HOT TAKE
• The Gauntlet
• The Best Pizza in Chicago is _____.
• Bill Effin' Murray

All that and other "win one for the Zimmer" jibber-jabber on this edition of the #PurpleFTW Podcast!

One Story. Of a young and not ready for prime time team. Told one week at a time. This is Serial Vikings.

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell 37-35 to the Dolphins Sunday afternoon at half-full Sun Life Stadium.

Mental errors, loss of composure, offensive line failures, and defensive collapses highlighted a disappointing loss as the Vikings fall to 6-9 in Zimmer & Teddy's inaugural season.

The refereeing was atrocious, yes, but a good team is able to overcome that spot. The Vikings didn't Sunday. Hopefully someday they will.

C*** Punt-Blocked Talking Points Include:
• WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Offensive Line. Woof
• Matt “Bulldozer” Asiata
• The Defense Didn't Travel
• Keep. Your. Damn. Composure.
• Xavier Rhodes Love
• Coach Mike Zimmer
• #Purple FTW Helmet Stickers
• Condolences to the Greenway Family

All that and other "7-9 ain't bad" jibber-jabber on this edition of the #PurpleFTW Podcast!

Oscar Hazell (@OscarHazell) of Fin Depth joins us to preview Vikings @ Dolphins.

The Vikings (6-8) have a worse record than the Dolphins (7-7), but it feels like our squad has a much brighter future as anyone and everyone might be washed out in Miami come the end of the season.

We'll see if Teddy can build on his already impressive rookie résumé as he heads to Miami for a hometown homecoming. 

Salcaious South Beach Talkie points include:
• Oscar: Why the Dolphins?
• The London Dolphins?
• Stephen Ross Assessment

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell to the Detroit Lions 16-14 Sunday at Ford Field.

The Vikings (6-8) jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but couldn't hold on as Teddy Bridgewater threw two picks, Blair Walsh missed 3 field goals (including a 68-yard game winner), and Zimmer displayed some questionable clock management skills to close out the game.

As many positives as this young team has shown this year, this is a game that good teams win. We did not Sunday, but we recap.

Close But No Cigar Talkie Points Include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Mike Zimmer's Clock Management Game
• Blair Walsh Yikes
• Matt Asiata Wasn't Terrible
• The Curious Case of Cordarrelle Patterson
• Welcome Back Kyle Rudolph

It was ugly, but our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (6-7) ground out a win vs the New York Football Jets Sunday in walkoff fashion 30-24 as Teddy Bridgewater tossed a screen to Jarius Wright and #17 did the rest on an 87-yd TD in overtime to launch the Vikings to 6-7 on the season.

We're still technically in the playoff hunt, but need to win out and have a cavalcade of things to go right to do so.

Either way, the future is looking bright with Teddy leading the way and Zimmer at the helm.

Not perfect, but we'll take it talkie points include:
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• OFFENSIVE Offensive Line
• Running Back by Com"Meh"tee
• WR Love
• Everson Griffen: 1st Team All-Pro

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings (5-7) outplayed the Carolina Panthers (3-8-1) on Sunday 31-13 to keep the Purple's very faint playoff hopes alive.

The Vikings won in all three phases, including two first half punt blocks returned for TDs by Adam Thielen and all-world Everson Griffen.

The win was a much needed boost to morale and momentum as the Vikings close out 2014.


We recap the Purple victory with talkie points that include:
• Extra Special Special Teams
• The Weekly Referendum on Teddy Bridgewater
• Everson Griffen Worth Every Penny
• That Zimmer Hellfire Defense
• Wide Receiver Assesment

Travis Hancock (@TBoneWFNZ) of The Fan Charlotte joins us to preview Sunday's matchup as the Carolina Panthers (3-7-1) roll into The Bank to take on our Minnesota Fighitn' Vikings (4-7).

The Panthers are coming off their bye, but have had 5 straight losses (and a tie) and have a lot more questions than answers at the moment.

We look to take advantage of those questions Sunday and add to Cam Newton's 32 sacks on the season (3rd most in the NFL).

The Commissioners Exempt List Bowl talkie points include:
• The NFC South is terrible

Our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell 24-21 to the Green Bay Packers Sunday at The Bank.

It was a near run thing, but Mike Zimmer & his young squadron came up short.

The Vikings (4-7-0) faint playoff chances are getting fainter, but there are a lot of young pieces and positives to take going forward. #BrickByBrick to steal a phrase from another Minnesota football program on the rise.

The Packers (7-3) are one of the hottest teams in the NFL and what the Vikings (4-6) did is still circling the bowl somewhere near Soldier Field.

We come in as huge underdogs, but we try to drum up hope about the current and future prospects for our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as we prepare to take on our most hated rival.

Cheese & Blaze Orange Hatin' Talkie Points Include:

*Welp*. Despite Chicago's best efforts, the Minnesota Vikings fell at Soldier Field Sunday 24-13. Marking our 7th consecutive loss at that Godforsaken space ship on Lake Michigan.

It was a disappointing game all around for our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings who now fall to 4-6 and seemingly no longer in the mix for the playoffs.

But, as Vikings Fans always do, we shake it off and move on.

Shaking It Off Talkie Points Include:
• Failure in All Three Phases – The Trident of Failure
• Teddy In Cold Weather
• #FEEDMcKinnon is back in effect

Howard Sinker (@fansview) of the Star Tribune and MPR joins the podcast to take a look behind enemy lines as we preview Sunday's Vikings-Bears clash at Solider Field.

The Bears (3-6) are coming off two straight humiliating losses, fans are questioning Cutler AND Trestman's future with the team, and the locker room is on the verge of collapse. (This is all very 2013 Vikings-ish, fwiw)

Hopefully Zimmer's Wild Boyz can be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back on Sunday as the Vikings try to get their 1st win in Chicago since 2007.

• Kyle Fuller is legit.
• Matt Forte & Alshon Jeffery are aight.

• Is Teddy B the real deal for the Vikings?
• A Teddy/Cutler Cyborg would be the perfect QB.
• Thoughts on Adrian playing in 2014 and beyond.
• Howard thinks McKinnon is more McCluster than Charles.
• Rex Ryan = Bears 2015 Defensive Coordinator.
• Final Score Prediction: 31-28
• STONE COLD HOT TAKE
• Di Murphy Love Monologue. #Paleo
• Young Mike Ditka Autograph stories.
• Young Mike Ditka looks like the U of Georgia mascot. #UGA
