Vikings vs. Panthers preview: The Real Forno Show

Going into Sunday’s game, we break down the Panthers matchup and everything else Vikings

At 0-3, the Minnesota Vikings are heading into Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers who are also 0-3. What do the Vikings need to do to win?

We will start the show by previewing the game and whether Bryce Young will or won’t play.

For the Vikings, Kirk Cousins leads the league in completions, attempts, yards and touchdowns, but does his on-the-field performance match the stats? We explored it earlier on Wednesday and it’s a much different picture than you think.

Lastly, what happens for the Vikings if they drop to 0-4 after Sunday’s game? It would theoretically be the end of the season with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town the following Sunday. Could Kwesi Adofo-Mensah start looking to sell off assets?

We are here to break it all down and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, airing Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.

The Vikings are 0-3. Now what? The Real Forno Show

The Real Forno Show discusses what the Vikings should and will do after starting 0-3

The Minnesota Vikings have seen regression hit them brutally hard this season with an 0-3 start. Not only have they not won a single game decided by one score, but they have lost three of them, which is three more than in 2022.

What do we make of the regression? It’s certainly something that was going to happen this season, but nobody expected it to happen to this degree. What can we make of the Vikings’ unfortunate luck?

The discussion of tanking has come up multiple times over the last week and they have skyrocketed after the Vikings lost their third game of the season to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Should the Vikings tank is a difficult question. It’s not quite as simple as people want it to be. Players are always fighting for their job and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has explicitly said that he doesn’t want to tank. How can the find middle ground?

We will also be inviting any subscribers to the YouTube channel to join the show to discuss the Vikings live with host Tyler Forness.

Cam Akers trade and Dalton Risner signing: The Real Forno Show

Cam Akers and Dalton Risner are the main topics of conversation on the latest episode

The Minnesota Vikings don’t sit in the best situation going into week three. They are currently 0-2 after losing two very winnable games because they turned the ball over seven times.

How can they fix things starting against the Los Angeles Chargers? Well, not turning the ball over is a great start. We learned all about them from Chargers Wire columnist Alex Katson on Tuesday night. How can the Vikings take advantage of their weaknesses?

The Vikings also made a roster move on Monday by signing free agent guard Dalton Risner. He is expected to come in and even potentially compete for a starting job. There are multiple outcomes for Risner with the Vikings but which is the most likely?

Plus, we have a special announcement on the future of the show. We are here to break it all down and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, airing Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.

Vikings vs. Chargers preview w/Alex Katson: The Real Forno Show

Ahead of Sunday’s Chargers vs. Vikings game, @alexkatson of @TheChargersWire joins us to preview the game

The Minnesota Vikings are trying to avoid going 0-3 this Sunday when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers, who are trying to do the same thing.

The Vikings have played really good football, but have turned it over seven times with a -6 turnover differential to pair with a -9 point differential. The Chargers are in a similar, yet different boat. They haven’t turned the ball over zero times, but lost both games by three points each.

To preview the game, Chargers Wire columnist Alex Katson joins the show to give us all the details on the Chargers.

  • How has Kellen Moore impacted the offense?
  • What is the deal with Brandon Staley’s expensive and talented, yet floundering defense?
  • Why do the Chargers Charger games?
  • Are they wasting Justin Herbert?

Join us on a special night, Tuesday at 8 pm central time. There is a lot of intrigue with this game and we are here to break it all down and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, normally airing Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.

To discuss the matchup, Devin Jackson of the Philadelphia Inquirer joins the show to discuss this pivotal matchup.

As we look at the matchup, there are quite a few players and storylines to watch, but how the defenses play will likely decide the matchup.

  • How will Brian Flores attack Jalen Hurts?
  • Will the Vikings offensive line be able to handle the stout Eagles defensive line?
  • Can Darius Slay take care of Justin Jefferson once again?

Vikings disappoint in Week 1: The Real Forno Show

The latest episode of The Real Forno Show breaks down the Vikings disappointing loss and how they can rebound Thursday night

There is no sugarcoating the Minnesota Vikings’ performance on Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They made mistake after mistake and it cost them 14 points on their side of the scoreboard and another four on the Buccaneers side in a 20-17 loss.

What went wrong for the Vikings? They could move the football early on in the game but struggled to convert their drives into points. Where should the blame be placed?

The 2022 NFL draft class for the Vikings hasn’t played out as well as you would want to see. Only Ed Ingram and Akayleb Evans have proven to be solid contributors at this point. Is it finally time to hit the panic button?

Luckily for the Vikings, they have a short week before they head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Thursday night football. What are some things the Vikings need to fix before then?

We will discuss all of that and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, airing Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.

The Vikings currently have a win total of 8.5 wins via Draft Kings Sportsbook and this is a game that many believe the Vikings should win on Sunday. The Buccaneers are a team in transition as they move forward without Baker Mayfield. How will the Vikings attack their new-look offense with a new-look defense run by Brian Flores?

We will also discuss Justin Jefferson’s contract extension, offensive line continuity and how much it will matter, state of the cornerback room and much more.

We will discuss all of that and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, airing Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.

Vikings initial 53-man roster: The Real Forno Show

A full, comprehensive breakdown of the Vikings initial 53-man roster

The Minnesota Vikings have set their initial 53-man roster. The first rendition of the regular season roster was loaded with multiple takeaways, including some that were surprising.

As we look at the Vikings’ roster, there are players that we didn’t expect to see. Ivan Pace Jr., Andre Carter II and NaJee Thompson all made the roster as undrafted free agents and two Kwesi Adofo-Mensah draft picks were waived.

  • What will the Vikings do at offensive line, running back and cornerback? They are each rather weak in terms of numbers
  • Will the Vikings end up trading Jalen Reagor? They were receiving calls about him earlier on Tuesday.
  • Who will end up as the punt returner?

We will discuss all of that and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, airing on a special night Tuesday at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.
