The start of the 2021 Minnesota Vikings season surely hasn’t started as we’d like. Your Vikings we face Kyler Murray and the whole Arizona Cardinals team down in the desert. Murray is known for his ability to be mobile and destroy game plans making victory difficult. Sunday was no different as the Vikings fell to the red birds 33-34. The offense started hot and Kirk Cousins hit his first long ball to KJ Osborn for a 64-yard touchdown on the second play of the drive. The defense still looked discombobulated with moments of very good individual play by the likes of Danielle Hunter [3 sacks], Eric Kendricks, Xavier Woods, Michael Pierce, and Nick Vigil, but as a whole, there were communication issues, blown coverages, and again for the second week in a row, some poor tackling. This all resulted in giving up 501 yards and 34 points. Wasn’t the defense supposed to be a strength this season? Then there was the bane of Vikings fans everywhere… Greg Joseph missed an extra point, hits two 52 yard field goals, only to miss a 37 yarder to win the game. And you wonder why we drink? LOL.
Is there a disconnect in what Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman believe on how this football team should be built and then the utilization of those players? Is there a discontent starting to boil over in the fan base? Join us for the conversation!
Other talking points for tonight’s show:
Banner performance by the offensive line.
Vikings’ second-half offense.
Does Klint Kubiak have a major inconsistency problem?
Is Zimmer becoming a Scapegoat?
Players of the game
Fan with us!!! Tyler Forness @TheRealForno, and Deshawn Vaughan @vikingsfans16. In the truck is Dave Stefano @Luft_Krigare producing this @Climb_ThePocket Network’s & @DailyNorseman’s production.

The Vikings are 0-1 and after today, will they register a win or drop to a dreaded 0-2? 0-2 it is. The Minnesota Vikings were on the road again against the 1-0 [now 2-0] Arizona Cardinals. Will Kirk Cousins throw further downfield? Some. Will Mike Zimmer finally watching film with Cousins make the difference? Looked like it at least until the end. Can the offensive line give him time or will Chandler Jones, J.J. Watt, and the rest of the Cardinals’ defensive front have a field day? They had a good day. Can the Vikings defense contain Kyler Murray and his slew of wide receiver targets like DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore? We’ll surely find out, and they didn't often enough. These games count, and we’re live at the last whistle. The Final Score crew and you the fans will discuss it here!
1) Highlights
2) Lowlights
3) Speed round and your questions
4) What’s ahead
The Final Score [the name for CTP’s Postgame show] is ready for the season. There are 4 new regulars and the occasional guest. The focus will be on you the fan, and how you felt the team did. Hopefully racking up the wins in the regular season. Today, Jayson, Dave, Flip and Matt will all be here. Did you like what you saw? #SKOL

During NFL Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings took on the Cincinnati Bengals and it didn’t turn out like we thought it would. It’s onto Week 2 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Will that turn out like we want?

Eric, with guest Ryan are here for the 16th episode of Viking Hot Takes on the Climbing The Pocket channel on Thursday night during half-time of the game. Following the usual format of the show, we put the usual 20 minutes on the clock and asked each other three questions:
Eric asks
1. On a scale of 1-10, how high is your Panic Meter after the Week 1 loss?
2. What do the Vikings need to do to slow down Kyler Murray and the Cardinals offense?
3. Who are your key players on offense and defense on Sunday?
Ryan asks
1. What concerns you most about the Week 1 performance? Is it fixable or an ongoing issue we need to work around?
2. How many more kicks in a row does Greg Joseph need to make to prevent your heart from pumping out of your chest?
3. What matchups excite you the most with our upcoming tilt with the Cardinals?
Fan with us!!! Talk with Ryan Ortega @sportsguyry in for Flip Mazzi @Flipmazzi, Eric Thompson @eric_j_thompson, and Dave @Luft_Krigare producing a @Climb_ThePocket Network’s & @DailyNorseman’s production.

Rashod Hill with a tough test against a surging Chandler Jones
Garrett Bradbury bullrushed to oblivion - needs to get better quick

After a disappointing start last Sunday by the Minnesota Vikings vs the Cincinnati Bengals, which the guys will dive into, it is onto the Arizona Cardinals. From matching against Joe Burrow, one of the few young QBs that head coach Mike Zimmer didn’t cause a welcome to the NFL moment, to the Card’s Kyler Murray who is one of the most dynamic young QBs in the league.

Phil Mackey [@PhilMackey of @SKORNorth] asks to join the show. What could go wrong? This will be fun!
After the results of the Minnesota Vikings vs Cincinnati Bengals, let’s turn your Monday Purple. Join Climbing The Pocket’s and Daily Norseman’s live show to get you talking on Mondays. This will make your Monday better as you join Tyler Forness and Deshawn Vaughan for the conversation of your Minnesota Vikings. Being a fan of this team has never been dull and sometimes painful. Good or bad, it has always been frustrating but entertaining. CTP Mondays will give you a chance to vent, agree, disagree, share your thoughts, and help cheer on the Purple.
The team has played their first game and flushed it down the preverbal toilet. The wheel of blame on a loss spins and there are plenty of options to throw on it. What was your favorite? Sloppy play, uninspired play, were they ready? Even with all that, the Vikings had chances to pull the game out, especially after getting into overtime, but come away with the first ever in NFL history tie with no time on the clock in regulation, then loss with no time on the clock in OT. Yay! Another Vikings first. Is this team fractured already with fan factions split, or can they, and we pull together and turn this around?
Other talking points for tonight’s show:
State of the offensive line
Kirk cousins performance
How do we judge the defensive performance
Highlights of special teams
Players of the game [or not]
Fan with us!!! Tyler Forness @TheRealForno, and Deshawn Vaughan @vikingsfans16. In the truck is Dave Stefano @Luft_Krigare producing this @Climb_ThePocket Network’s & @DailyNorseman’s production.
