And the Hey everybody welcome into another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here,

along with Will Regots of Sports Illustrated

and Andrew Kramer of the Star Tribune

for our weekly Regots Roundtable

inside TCO Performance Center.

And guys, I feel like it has been a really long time

since we've had a football game to preview.

You interested in this one?

How are we feeling? I was like, wait, so the Raiders, is there an angle there for the Raiders? Like, is there any more? Oh, that franchise is still around, huh, than the Las Vegas Raiders, I mean, this game

feels like so much a game that they should just win

or stop bothering that, like, what do we say about this? Well well I guess Max Crosby could sack some people

where do you want to take us well because this game it's only interesting because of the

Josh Dobbs it could go in a way where we feel really good about Dobbs by the end of this game, or really bad.

But that seems to be the only angle leading into this one.

That's what I was thinking about too, is it's one of those games. It's been such a roller coaster of a season for the Vikings where

early on they had a few tests it was Carolina it was Chicago where I was like all right you got to win this game or I'm done

caring about the competitive portion of this season because you're not a serious football team and they won those games barely and then out of nowhere ripped off a five-game winning streak we start to talk about maybe there could be some possibilities for this being more fun than we thought and then you lose to the Broncos sure and then you lose to the come crashing down you lose to the bears in horrific fashion so now we're back kind of at square one almost where you have to win

this game for me to still be interested in talking about all right maybe this team gets into the

post season what can they do if you lose this game Vegas just is not a good team you're not

going to be like mathematically eliminated or anything like that it's such a mess of

teams at six and six that you can afford to lose it in theory but when you close

with those three
