Purple FTW! 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.

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.
