Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Will You Watch The Game Tomorrow?
The “debates” are already on fire and we have not even made it to Christmas. Man, I thought the team would be more successful. The lack of success (i.e., wins) is always the bottom line. Development of players is tough because patience is indeed a virtue. But that is hard to sell and buy. Be […]

In this episode of The Real Forno Show, hosts Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano dive deep into the Minnesota Vikings’ upcoming matchup against the Washington Commanders. They focus on quarterback J.J.

Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Commanders at Vikings
The Washington Commanders will visit our Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The two teams are out of playoff contention and are playing out the string. This should’ve been a juicy matchup of two second year QBs, but injuries and poor play have dampened the mood. After a 3-2 start, the Commanders have lost seven straight. Their […]
Five Good Questions with Hogs Haven
We’re getting close to another Minnesota Vikings game day, and this week we’ve gotten an opportunity to sit down and get some intel on the opponent for this week. This week, I’ve exchanged some questions with with Andrew York of Hogs Haven, SB Nation’s home for everything relating to Washington Commanders football. You can see […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Are You Looking Forward To The Game This Week?
It seems like there is at least half the people that visit here who want to see KAM and KOC fired based on my rudimentary perusal of the comments in the 12/02 News and Links post. I said in that post that I did not think it is going to happen. I still feel that […]
2025 NFL Week 14: Washington Commanders at Minnesota Vikings
Two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams in this 2025 season are set to meet this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium as the Minnesota Vikings will play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14 NFL action. These two teams combined for 26 regular season victories in 2024, and the Commanders advanced to the NFC […]
Reflections on Rock Bottom
As a Vikings fan, declaring any situation “rock bottom” is always a perilous proposition. This is, after all, a franchise that once “missed” a draft pick, becoming a subject of national ridicule, and had its stadium roof collapse, serving as a perfect symbol of a terrible season. Coincidentally, that same year saw a head coach […]
Commanders at Vikings: First Injury Report
The Washington Commanders and Minnesota Vikings issued their first injury reports ahead of their Sunday matchup at US Bank stadium. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings For the Vikings, Donovan Jackson remains a non-participant, which makes his availability on Sunday questionable at this point. Levi Drake-Rodriguez missing Wednesday’s practice with a neck injury also casts some […]

The Vikings’ Gut-Wrenching Slide: From Playoff Contenders to NFC North Doormat
The latest episode of The Real Forno Show — hosted by Tyler Forness with producer Dave Stefano on Vikings 1st & SKOL — is the raw, no-holds-barred autopsy every Minnesota Vikings fan needs after the humiliating 26-0 shutout loss to Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks. Fresh off a beach in Mexico, an enraged Forness […]
Vikes Views: Rooting for Wins or Better Picks?
The Minnesota Vikings are no longer in the playoff hunt. The team is breaking in their new QBs and it’s not gone as planned. We’ve reached the point where the age-old argument starts. Do you root for the team to win over the next five weeks, or do you actually want to see the Vikings […]
Minnesota Vikings Odds: Vikings Slight Home Favorite Against Commanders
It will be a battle between two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium when the Minnesota Vikings play host to the Washington Commanders. Given the way that the early betting lines have flip-flopped, it’s hard to say who the sharps view as the bigger disappointment. When the folks from […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The Wagon Is Off The Trail
The competitve part of the season is pretty much over and was over before the Seahawks game. Nothing that happened in that game is that big of a deal to me including the 4th down play that resulted in the pick six. The team would only have a 11% chance of making the playoffs if […]

Vikes Views: Will Adam Thielen Sign with a Contender?
Last week Adam Thielen requested his release from the Vikings. Monday, the team granted that request. Thielen believes he has a market to sign with a team contending for the playoffs. It’s his final season and this clearly wasn’t working out in Minnesota. His final tally for the year with the Vikings is 18 targets, […]
Vikes Views: Nincompoop of the Week – Vikings at Seahawks
The Minnesota Vikings went into Seattle to face the Seahawks, and it couldn’t have gone much worse. I won’t say it can’t get worse—because we all know it always can—but that was ugly. It was the first time the Vikings had been shut out since November 11, 2007. Max Brosmer got his chance to start, […]
Vikings Waive WR Adam Thielen
Ahead of Sunday’s 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings made wide receiver Adam Thielen a healthy scratch. On Monday, they made a move that, just a few months ago, would have been unthinkable. The Vikings have just announced that they have waived Adam Thielen, putting a period at the end of what […]
Everything Ends Badly, Otherwise It Wouldn’t End
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Sure, the Minnesota Vikings weren’t going to go 14-3 again after the run they had in 2024, but surely they were going to be a solid contender again in 2025, weren’t they? That’s what yours truly, and a lot of other people, thought going into this season. The […]
Vikings Shut Out for First Time In Eighteen Years in Loss to Seahawks
With the news that quarterback J.J. McCarthy would not be starting this week for the Minnesota Vikings due to not clearing concussion protocol and that rookie Max Brosmer would be starting in his spot, many fans felt that things could not possibly get worse for the Minnesota offense. The team, apparently, took that as a […]
Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks: Third Quarter Recap and Fourth Quarter Discussion
We are heading to the final fifteen minutes of play at Lumen Field in Seattle, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 19-0, which could just as well be 119-0 with the way the purple are playing this afternoon. Seattle got the ball coming out of the locker room at […]
