Well we wrap the season with a lot of, as of now; unanswered questions. Draft a QB? Resign Cousins? Pick 11 in the upcoming NFL Draft. Going to be a telling off-season.

Sorry to miss a show last week and with the holidays things got a bit complicated. We saw Jaren Hall and... well. It appears he needs more time. The losses piling up as we move up the draft board. Please, for all that is holy don't win on Sunday against the Lions and move into the off-season with some optimism.

The first half was promising but yet again, turnover cost the Vikes the game. Double Tush Push and a swinging arm also played a part in it. 7-7, Mullins to start against the Cowardly Lions.

Blah blah punt. Blah Blah PUNT! A win is a win. Mullins or Dobbs...? This Defense is legit and it could carry us a long way.

A late bye this year. Who starts Sunday? Jefferson returns and Defense continues to climb..., if it wasn't for all those pesky turnovers.

That was an ugly game to watch and then to end in disappointment... Self-inflicted wounds. Can't blame the defense.... on to the bye.

Let's keep things in perspective. A loss to an AFC team isn't the end of the season. Things could have gone better but it is what it is. Bring on the Bears.

Five in a row... First half looked like a cake walk then the second half... offense bogged down. Defense gave up a few things. On to Denver...

That was something. Hall gets concussed, Josh Dobbs scrambles to win a game while unpacking his suitcase. One for the Annals.

Well... we beat the Packers at Curly Lambeau Field by more than one score but.... an Achilles rupture causes us to reevaluate the remainder of the season. It's just the way this franchise operates.

Vikings get surprising win on Monday Night Football. Offense had a stunning performance especially the Offensive Line. Defense improving weekly under Brian Flores.

Well they won whether you wanted them to or not. It wasn't pretty but a W none the less.

Three missed calls on one play? That was one to remember... another loss. We talk it over and preview next Sunday vs. The Chicago Bears. Has anyone figured out the catch rule yet?

A win is a win is a win.... We discuss the highlights and lowlights as well as preview next weekend and the KC Chiefs.

0-3 is upon us. So many things... too many things. We try to get to them all and preview next Sunday in Carolina.

Philly won that game. Yes, we turned the ball over and over but in the end 16 play, 13 run drive said it all. We signed Dalton Risner... we preview Chargers and talk a little Gophers.

Well that could have gone better.... Vikes lose to Bucs at home week 1. A slew of stupid mistakes cost Vikings the game. Philly on Thursday Night...good luck.

Back for season number 6, we talk the seasons questions and concerns as well as the presumed positives and make some predictions as to how the season may turn out. Tampa Bay Tampa Bay week 1. Let's Go....!

A few days before the draft I speculate on draft strategy, team needs and some available players. I run a mock at the end for good measure.

We talk free agency to date as well as speculate about the direction the team might be headed. Many changes to discuss as the team appears to be getting younger and more cap savvy.

What an ending...? Playoff loss at home again. We talk the game and early off-season. 13-4 season over. Stay tuned for the Living in Loserville podcast talking Timberwolves and Gophers found here or any where you get your podcasts. Signing off for Vikings talk until free agency.

Finished off the regular season with a win in Chicago. On to the playoffs this Sunday against the New York Giants. The Gophers lose an OC again.

Well we have to talk about it. Meltdown in Lambeau Field, Offense and Special Teams this time. We wrap up the Gophers season and talk seeding in the NFC Playoffs.

A 61 yard Field Goal to WIN!?!?! What else can we ask for this season. We discuss the win over the New York Giants and preview this Sunday in Green Bay.

Forgive the Holiday delay...The Largest Comeback in NFL History went our way for once. We discuss the game and preview Saturday vs. the New York Giants at home.

A letdown in Detroit. The Defense was horrible. What can be done if anything? Fire Ed Donatell is the call but seems illogical. Lot's to get to.

The Vikings keep winning yet we are unsure how, we'll take it. 10-2 and going to Detroit for an NFC North matchup. We preview and predict.
