It's an exciting day to be a fan of the future of the Minnesota Vikings. Our Vikings elect to keep their two first round picks and select arguably the two most important positions on the football field; JJ McCarthy at Quarterback and Dallas Turner at OLB/DE. Listen to what we thought of these day one picks and our hopes for the future of our Minnesota Vikings.
In preparation for the 2024 NFL Draft we revisit the best and worst Vikings draft classes in that last decade, as well as grade our previous 12 years of 1st round picks.
Hitman takes a pay cut to stay, KJ Osborns Vikings career is finally over, should we trade the house for the 3rd overall pick, or is it merely a crapshoot and we should stick with our two 1st round picks, and finally we close out with our first newly wed Vikings game.
Meet at the Quarterback plays GM for an episode. Let us know whether you agree or disagree with each one of our 1st round decisions in the 2024 draft?
The 2024 NFL season is truly underway .. Vikings say goodbye to some longtime Vikings once again this offseason, as well as sign half a dozen week 1 starters to improve this team. Take a listen and let us know if there are any players you are concerned about or feel we should still go after. SKOL to 2024 and a new Vikings Era.
Our Vikings cut last years starting running back, Alexander Mattison, which puts Ty Chandler as RB1 unless we find someone in free agency. It also is looking more and more likely that Kirk Cousins time in Minnesota has come to an end... we briefly discuss what Kirk's legacy will look like after he is gone..
Meet at the Quarterback hosts bring forth over half a dozen different current free agents they think the Vikings should consider in the open market. There are some players leaving, which results in needing to fill holes on the roster. Let us know if there is anyone we are forgetting or if you really like one of the names we mentioned.
Super bowl 58 recap, Viking "offseason" moves, discussion of the direction this team is going, and what defines a "successful" season, and another end of episode game round.
A fun, different type of episode. We talk NFL news, upcoming Superbowl hopes, and play a couple Minnesota Viking Trivia rounds. How did you do? SKOL.
First Mock episode of the 2024 offseason. Listen and give us feedback if you agree, disagree with some of our draft picks for the 2024 NFL draft.
First stab at what we think the Minnesota Vikings should do during this offseason? Where we need to save money, spend money, what tough decisions we have to make for long-time Vikings? One thing we all agreed to is saying goodbye to KJ Osborn...
How would you grade this season as a whole with all things considered? This team had high potential, started slow, then began to cook, then dealt with injuries upon injuries, finally looked to have it figured out before the defense collapsed. Lots of factors, lots of discussion. Let us know your thoughts!
Back to back two score losses, after 16 weeks without on. Vikings lose the final 4 division games, finishing with our worst record and first double digit loss in over a decade. Regular season is done and now we have 8 months of offseason football to discuss.
Final regular season game, the Vikings head to Michigan to either have their first double digit loss season in over a decade or finish with their third 8 win season in 4 years. Mullens is back, JJ looks to get 1k yards and Addison hopes for double digit touchdowns in likely the final game of the 2023 season.
Essentially completely eliminating themselves from the playoffs, Kevin O' Connell and this injured Vikings Team should close up shop for the 2023 season and embrace their soon to be first 10 loss season in a decade. First cohesive game played by our Vikings, terrible from the Offensive side of the ball and terrible from the Defensive side of the ball. Happy 100th episode of Meet at the Quarterback, however.
You guessed it, another must win game for our Minnesota Vikings to keep any playoff hopes alive. Vikings are starting 5th round Rookie Quarterback Jaren Hall after Mullens 4 INT game verse the Lions. We believe Hall could do what we need him to do to secure a home W against a struggling Packers team. Let's end this year on a high note!
Negatives are that the Vikings continue to shoot themselves in the foot and be their own worst enemies. Positives are backups galore and the Vikings can still compete with any team on any given day. 14th one score game this season.
Vikings host the current NFC North leader, Detroit Lions in their first matchup of the 2023 season. A win clinches the Lions first division title in 10+ years, whereas a win for the Vikings increases their playoff odds to almost 80 percent. Skol Vikes on Christmas Eve.
Vikings offense finally comes back to life, but the turnover woes and redzone ineptness continue. Vikings D makes it 7 weeks in a row without giving up a first half touchdown. Proceeds to give up 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter. IF this team can play great at the same time, we still believe they could make a deep run. Only fear is that we are running out of time and have yet to see them play great on both sides of the ball, at the same time.
Nick Mullens gets his first start at a Vikings quarterback and hopefully will have a healthy Justin Jefferson to go with his receiving weapons. A Vikings win bumps up their playoff odds significantly and would definitely create a confidence boost being 2 games above .500 as they prepare to host the Lions on Christmas Eve next week. SKOL Vikes!
Josh Dobbs benched, JJ reinjured, Mattison and O'Neil also get hurt and the Vikings do the bare minimum and score 3 points to improve to 7-6 and continue to control their own destiny.
2 straight losses, and your other NFC wild card hunters winning last week puts you back in the position of must win games. Thankfully the Vikings still control their own destiny, but a loss on Sunday could really jeopardize any playoff hopes this team currently has. Lets go VIKES.
Bye week has us grading our Minnesota Vikings 12 weeks into the 2023 season. We grade the offense, defense, overall team, rank our top 5 impactful Vikings and bottom 5 disappointing Vikings. Give a listen!
In one of the worst offensive and Quarterback performances in Vikings history. Division hopes look almost impossible and now you are hoping to finish with 9 wins and a sneak into wild card spot. Tough, embarrassing loss as the Vikings head into over 10 days of no football.
Small chance, but still a chance the Vikings could win the north in back to back seasons for the first time since 2008 and 2009. Lets play above the Bears talent and steam roll them for a two score W on primetime, Monday Night Football. SKOL.
Never fun to lose, especially to Sean Payton and Russell Wilson, but losing to an non-conference and non-division team, is the best loss we could have. Vikings snap our 5 game win streak due to once again conservative play calling and costly turnovers. Give a listen to hear our positive and negative spicy bites.
Our Vikings have won 5 straight, Denver has won 3 straight with wins being against the Bills and the Chiefs. One team will go back to zero after Sunday night, we believe our Vikings will not be that team and improve to 7-4. The best back to back season start since 1999. Lets show up again on primetime with some Dobbs magic!
Our Minnesota Vikings have won 5 straight. We continue to win without JJ, without Kirk, without KJ. Winning games that probably we shouldn't win. But this team is TALENTED and they believe in themselves. If this team makes the playoffs, we believe they could be DANGEROUS.
Battle of two 5-4 NFC teams match up for week 10 at US Bank Stadium. Longtime listener and bigtime Viking fan, Cole Williams joins Meet at the Quarterback to share his perspective and offer some BIG predictions. Let's get this win streak to 5. SKOL.
This team believes in one another and fights for every single win, every single week. Newly acquired, back-up Quarterback, Joshua Dobbs creates 3 touchdowns in the Vikings best offensive game of the 2023 season. Keep the wins coming as we host New Orleans next week.
