Mad Max takes the wheel in Seattle! Rookie QB Max Brosmer makes his first NFL start as the 4-7 Vikings face the 8-3 Seahawks as 11.5-point underdogs in a Sam Darnold revenge game. Darren Campbell, Dave Stefano, and our numbers guru Drew Bunting break down the chaos, the quarterback crisis, and why this might be rock-bottom… or the spark that saves 2025.
In the latest episode of Two Old Bloggers on the Vikings 1st & SKOL channel (partnered with Fans First Sports Network), the trio goes full dystopian purple apocalypse. From “Mad Max” Brosmer’s quick-release promise to J.J. McCarthy’s sudden 2026 insurance nightmare, coaching hot seats, Jalen Redmond’s breakout, and top-10 draft watch—this episode is the raw, no-filter Vikings therapy session every fan needs right now.
With playoff hopes all but mathematically dead and the most expensive potential 4-13 roster in NFL history looming, Darren, Dave, and Drew leave no stone unturned.
Here’s everything they tackled in this must episode:
If you’re a Vikings fan screaming at your TV every Sunday, Two Old Bloggers is the unapologetic, passionate, zero-BS show you’ve been missing.
