Tyler Forness and Judd Zulgad dig into the meat and potatoes of the Minnesota Vikings Week 2 win over San Francisco. The team’s free agent adds have shined through two weeks but who deserves the credit for bringing them in to begin with? How great does Sam Darnold look so far and how much can that be credited to the work of his offensive line? Plus a look at the weekend of college football ahead and much more!

15th on the power rankings is criminal.
Kwesi may have caught on early then most that the league is going away from Passing and Big stars and them getting injured or playing horrid (Tua , incosistnet Dak , Kirks lack of playoff runs, Deshaun Watson) for a more balanced roster since the league has adapted and gone running style offences and well balanced team-play will get you the wins specially for teams wanting long play-off runs.
Look at how successful his UDFAs are in comparison for most of the teams, that has a huge impact getting UDFA studs for the Salary Cap and making a more well rounded team.
The reality is with Cousins and his contract, they had to depend on him being great. With Sam, that’s not the case because they can build a team around the Qb position.
Vikes have trailed for 3’ 26” this year (Giants) and spent about 23’ with a lead of 9 or more against the 49ers. Pretty dominant.
People are still scared about our Vikes. I'm an old ass that's 58 and older than Judd, but I get it. I trust Judd, and even "Reusse"That old coot is even excited about our vikes and he hates em!
KAM knocked it out of the park in free agency.
Remember that Hitman is a boss. Idk what's gonna happen this season, but I want Harry to come back next season for obvious reasons.
Vegas has your sad team as the 10th best team in a weak NFC…. Lmfao. I feel bad for all of you for getting trolled by skor.
Meat and potatoes does not mean deep dive it means basic.
Another good meat and potatoes 🥩 🥔 thanks Judd, AJ, Forno!!! 👍
Kwasi and KOC will get new contracts before the end of the season.
We’re about to change the NFL game. No matter injury’s why because the club coaches. We have two head coaches. They balance each other perfectly. This Defense is going to only get better as we go. The defense was much better vs The 49ers even Purdy gave this defense credit. We have the best of both worlds. I know we had a deep depth chart when we win preseason games finally. If the offense didn’t turn I over in the red zone the 49ers may not have gotten in the end zone! SKOL! Let’s make a run at those 72 dolphins boys I believe you can!
Great stuff guys 👍
lol I’m ok with that. Will be a fan no matter what. Still a fun rollercoaster ride every year. 😂😂
Judd get your wig so we can have an episode of Purple Daily: Locks and Blocks
Judd is the only reason I watch this show specifically
That's some steak and taters guys. I was at the opener and I know this team is gonna go far this season. Thanks Purple Daily
Surprising guys who are hopefully getting paid soon,
Patrick Jones
Jalen nailer
Everyone drafted in 2024
I like what the future looks like in Minnesota , not a lot of draft Capitol coming up but not a ton of needs either..
OL
CB
And tons of cash to make up for it …enjoy the future me boys, plz 🙏 keep the D coordinator in town we can't let this one go. SKOL baby!
Forno's right about Darnold's confidence – It shows up first in the way he CALMLY navigates the ever-changing NFL pocket. He is already trusting his O Line to keep the pass rush out of his face. That's what lays the foundation for those amazing throws downfield. It's not perfect, of course – at some point the protection will break down, and that's when Darnold will need to figure out the best way to limit the damage. He could eat a sack, throw the ball away, scramble, etc. So far, Darnold has been making some very good decisions. There is nothing fluky about Darnold's play.
Love how the Nicollet law commercial is just a dude that wanted to see the stadium and also wanted to be able to write it off as a business cost
Nebraskas O-Line!!
Bring back Randy for this show
Many times I commented on this channel to fire Kwesi. I was completely wrong.
Vikings, regardless of record, have many NASTY surprises for every opponent this season 😄
Warner is good but we watched a differnt play. Darnold threw it right to Warner sitting in the middle zone. Any linebacker makes that pick
I've been very critical of Kwesi. Maybe I should amend that. He is horrible on draft day but really good in off-season management
Wasn’t that pace who ran25 yards to tip a pass last week? Pace is crazy but smart😂
Scary thing for next year is all the cap space next year is who they have in mind to go after.
Still downplaying us, Forno do not assume we will lose in the first round if we make the playoffs. They “can” beat anybody
Bro literally asked if we have any guys to come in if Ginkle ever has to miss games…lol Dallas Turner?
Extend KOC, Flores and Kwesi!!!
Forno is just not intriguing to listen to unfortunately just my opinion and it looks like it shows on the viewership of his own show
Does Kwesi deserve all the credit? Aaron Jones agent came to them after Packers cut him – Flores picked the defensive FAs – they wanted Drake Maye but couldn’t pay the price to get to #3 – got scared ppl jumping them for JJ so paid more draft capital for him – give him credit on getting Turner – last year he was ready trade back and pass on Addison but KOC got him pull the trigger
I just want to send a message to the fans who spent the offseason saying "Kwesi should be fired and Ryan Poles is a genius"–look what he's building in Chicago! They are going up and the Vikings are going down! Two picks in the top 10 and Lewis Cine sucks!
Say what you will about Kwesi's draft picks, the team is much improved this year because of Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones, Jihad Ward, Shaq Griffen, Blake Cashman, Andrew van Ginkel, Jonathan Greenard, and they had enough left over to pick up Stephan Gilmore at the last minute when they needed more help on the back end. That's 8 players contributing who weren't here last year, with cap space to spare for the future.
And the Vikings are way better than the Bears, who look like they will have another top 5 draft pick next year.
