The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are days away from rekindling the Border Battle Bad Blood with the Greasy Green Bay Packers Sunday at Lambeau Field. For some insight on the enemy, we brought in Friend of the Program Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar) to talk about Aaron Rodgers' injury, offseason improvements, and how the Bears crapped the bed. Plus Vikes Over Beers with Josh Pelto (@JoshPelto) recapping his gameday experience at the Niners game.

Pioneer Press beat writer Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) joined us at the Blue Door Pub to chat about the 1-0 Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as the squad preps to invade Green Bay for the Week 2 Border Battle.

Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fans had some questions about Pro Football Focus' grades of some of the Vikes after their 24-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. To walk us through the process is old friend of the program Eric Eager (@PFF_Eric). Plus some thoughts on Khalil Mack's dominance, Aaron Rodgers pulling a Willis Reed, and Adrian Peterson not being dead yet.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings took care of business at home Sunday at Historic US Bank Stadium sending the San Francisco 49ers back home with a 24-16 defeat. The Purple were spearheaded by the Zimmer Hellfire Defense that forced Handsome Jimmy Garoppolo into three interceptions on top of hitting him nine times and sacking him thrice.

Week 1 is upon us as the Sloppy San Francisco 49ers weasel their way into Historic US Bank Stadium to attempt to hang with the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings. Darren "Doogie" Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) of The Scoop Podcast stops in to chat about the "who's starting at center" rumors, B-Rod and Newman parting, and injury updates. Plus Jordan Reid (@JReidNFL) of Inside The Pylon. chimes in to breakdown the Niners matchup.

We brought in Friend of the Program Sam Monson (@PFF_Sam) of Pro Football Focus to breakdown the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings offseason moves, solutions on the offensive line, and if Harrison Smith is a Hall of Famer. Plus Josh Pelto (@JoshPelto) and Andrew Roth (@SandrewRoth) join for Vikes Over Beers discussing captains, 53, and the sloppy San Francisco 49ers coming in.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are days away from playing ACTUAL football as the slithering San Francisco 49ers make their way into US Bank Stadium for a Sunday noon kickoff. Our guy Myles Gorham (@mylesgorham85) of Climbing The Pocket stopped by the Blue Door Pub to chat about the final 53 man roster, Brian Robison and Terence Newman moving on, and what the Niners bring to the table.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings trimmed down their roster to 53 souls and set up their practice squad over the weekend. The transactions included the surprise cut of veteran defensive end/fishing enthusiast Brian Robison and the "retirement" of cornerback Terence Newman who will now join the coaching staff. We discuss all of that plus KHALIL MACK IS NOW IN THE DIVISION.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings finished up the preseason with some Nashville hot chicken action Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans. With 53-man roster cuts looming on Saturday, a few players made final statements for why they should make the roster proper or the practice squad.

Today's Purple Talkers Include • Mandatory Offensive Line Talking Point • Brandon Zylstra Is In • Daniel Carlson Redemption • Stephen Weatherly and Tashawn Bower Are Starters Elsewhere • Special Teamer Holton Hill? • Linebacker Depth • Tight End 3 Is Not Currently On The Team • Kyle Sloter vs Trevor Siemian • Odds 'N Ends

All that and more "On to San Francisco" chatter on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast!
