Ted Glover (@purplebuckeye) and Eric Thompson (@Eric_J_Thompson) of The Daily Norseman stop by to briefly reminisce about the 30-13 Sunday curbstomping, look ahead towards the pivotal matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, and chat about how to go Feastmode at Thanksgiving.All that and other "It's the Damn Squirrel's Fault" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings fell to the Green Bay "our fans own stock, tee hee" Packers 30-13 Sunday afternoon at The Bank. The game was an opportunity to show the world that the Purple were more than just a young team on the rise, but we failed to do so due to mental mistakes, penalties and poor offensive line play. Ah well. The sun still rises tomorrow and we still get a chance to boatrace the Falcons next Sunday. Life at 7-3 is still darn good. But recap the game that was."Blerrrggggggg" Talking Points Include• Squirrel > Ragnar• The Offensive Line Regressed• Teddy Outplayed Rodgers• Norv Doesn't Do Teddy Any Favors• The Defense Did Not Have a Banner Day• The Vikings Beat the Vikings with Penalties• Eddie Lacy is Still Fat. (But Kinda Good Again)• Kyle Rudolph Love• Mike Wallace Shade• Adrian Was MIA• Not Ready For Prime Time?• James Jones Was Wearing a HoodieAll that and other "I Told You About the Shirts" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

It's almost time to party. We're only two days away from our Minnesota Fightin' Vikings welcoming in the Green Bay 2nd in the Division Packers for the biggest throwdown of the 2015 campaign. We brought in our man Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) to help get us ready for Border Battle 1.0 as well as expand on his latest piece about chlling out on Teddy Bridgewater.Other topics include: why comparing Teddy to Alex Smith isn't necessarily an insult, how the Zimmer Hellfire Defense can put the clamps on Aaron Rodgers, why the Packers offense is suddenly anemic, what to expect from Teddy and the passing game against the suddenly not frisky so Packers defense, and why the Purple's recent record means absolutely nothing against the Green and Gold on Sunday.All that and other "T-Shirts Are Dumb" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!

Border Battle 1.0 is nearly upon us. Will the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings assert their dominance over the NFC North or will the Green Bay Packers stage a second act comeback? We welcome in Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar), NFL.com Fantasy Writer and Packer apologist, to the show to dissect who will be Ronda Rousey and who will be Holly Holm Sunday afternoon at The Bank. (We're obvious Holly Holm.)We chatted about what Aaron Rodgers' deal is, if Adrian Peterson can keep up his historic 2012 pace, where the Vikings' passing game is going wonky, how the Zimmer Hellfire Defense matches up against the Packers offense, and much much more. Also I bug the heck out of Alex about my subpar fantasy team because YOLO.All that and other "BEAT GREEN BAY" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW!
