Week 4 Observations – Definitely Maybe

The Minnesota Vikings’ 15-10 victory over the winless Miami Dolphins at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday prompted a range of emotional reactions. If you had told me to turn off the game at the end of the 3rd quarter and asked for my thoughts, my response would be vastly different from how I feel now, […]

Will Reichard Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

While the Minnesota Vikings’ offense can’t seem to find its way into the end zone, the National Football League has recognized the one guy on the roster who doesn’t seem to have any problems putting points on the board. On Wednesday, the league named kicker Will Reichard the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week. […]

Vikings Sign Odell Beckham Jr., Jeshaun Jones to Practice Squad

With a couple of open spots on the practice squad, the Minnesota Vikings filled them on Wednesday with a pair of wide receivers, one of which you may have even heard of before. Well, if you’re a Vikings fan, you’ve heard of both of them, but one of them. . .yeah, didn’t see this coming. […]

The Re-Education of Kyler Murray and the Outlook for the Vikings Offense

Kyler Murray’s first pass as a member of the Minnesota Vikings was a hail mary thrown under pressure to a double-covered Jauan Jennings. Not surprisingly, it was intercepted. That was on a second-down with less than a minute elapsed in the first quarter of a 0-0 game. A few offensive plays later, he was knocked […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: You Play To Win The Games!

The Vikings handled their business against the Dolphins and stacked another win although you would not know it based on a lot of the comments here (and elsewhere). It does not matter that the team has been without one of the best receivers in the NFL for basically the last two games. It does not […]

2026 NFL Week 5: Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints

The Minnesota Vikings will look to remain among the ranks of the NFL’s undefeated as they travel to the Big Easy to face off with the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. Despite another game where the offense failed to find its way into the end zone, the Vikings stretched […]

The Weather Could Affect the Vikings/Saints Game on Sunday

The Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints are both well-known “dome” teams. And yet, somehow, their game on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans could be affected by the weather. We’ll explain. After a very quiet Atlantic hurricane season to this point, there’s now an area that has been named Invest 92L […]

Kyler Murray’s Fourth Quarter Is the Blueprint

The Minnesota Vikings offense is close to exploding, and the All-22 film proves the sky isn’t falling. Despite social media panic, host Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano deliver a layered, film-based breakdown of Kyler Murray’s progress, offensive line injuries, and Kevin O’Connell’s schematic challenges on this episode of The Real Forno Show — a […]

NFL Suspends Referee Adrian Hill for Eric Wilson Confrontation

One of the more surreal moments of yesterday’s 15-10 Minnesota Vikings’ victory over the Miami Dolphins involved a play that, technically, didn’t even count. With about five and a half minutes left in the first quarter, a third-down play for the Dolphins had been blown dead because of a neutral zone infraction on Dallas Turner. […]

A Couple Doses of Bad News for the Vikings’ Offensive Line

Despite their 4-0 record, the Minnesota Vikings have had their share of issues on offense in the early phases of this 2026 NFL season, and they’ve gotten a couple of doses of bad news on this Monday morning that could, somehow, make things a little bit worse. Both members of the left side of the […]

Vikings Week 4 Stock Market Report

The Minnesota Vikings improved to 4-0 after beating the Miami Dolphins 15-10 with the same successful but frustrating formula: top notch defense and special teams and just good enough offense. It came against one of the worst teams in the league, so the fact that the win wasn’t more decisive was disappointing, especially at home. […]

Offense Disappears Again, But Vikings Still Hold Off Dolphins

For the second time in three weeks, the Minnesota Vikings did not manage to score an offensive touchdown. And for the fourth time in four weeks, the Minnesota Vikings did enough to come out of their game with a victory. Behind five Will Reichard field goals and a career-high 13 catches from T.J. Hockenson, as […]

Miami Dolphins at Minnesota Vikings: Inactive Lists for Both Teams

We are around ninety minutes from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium between the Minnesota Vikings and the Miami Dolphins, and both teams have released their inactive lists ahead of today’s contest.

Week 4 NFL Early Games Discussion

We’ve got a little while to wait before the Minnesota Vikings hit the field on this Sunday, and as you know, that can only mean one thing around these parts. Yes, it is. . .for the third time in four weeks to start this season. . .a modified, limited, RED ZONE SUNDAY here at your […]

Vikings Elevate Johnny Hekker from Practice Squad

Ahead of Sunday’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium against the Miami Dolphins, the Minnesota Vikings have just one practice squad elevation for this week, but with the way things have gone in the first three weeks, it could be a very important one. The Vikings have elevated punter Johnny Hekker from the practice squad, meaning […]

Bludgeon Them Into Failure — Flores’ D and the Vikings’ 3-0 Start

Bludgeon them into failure is how Brian Flores’ defensive strategy is described. After a week where the Vikings ship J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a 5th-rounder — Two Old Bloggers breaks down the epic QB fail. Drew Bunting sits in for Darren Campbell alongside Dave Stefano to dissect the McCarthy trade fallout, Brian Flores’ […]

Current State of Affairs for the Minnesota Vikings

I don’t know if I have ever been less inspired by a 3-0 start than I have been this NFL season. I love the Vikings, and want nothing more than for this team to succeed. The narrative of our incredible, potentially historic defense and our deflated, stagnant offense has pretty much run its course already. […]
