The sister-site to VikingsTerritory is PurplePTSD.com, and the guys and gals over there roll out the Minnesota Vikings analysis just as much as we do.

Here is some of their top content for the week.


1 – Vikings fans have peered sideways at Kyle Shanahan lately, but Kyle Joudry has a different idea for head coach if Mike Zimmer doesn’t make it to 2022.

2 – Some inconvenient truths about the contract belonging to quarterback Kirk Cousins.

3 – An examination of past comments by Mike Zimmer and how they might correspond to his job security.

4 – You’re probably aware the Vikings are understaffed without Danielle Hunter, Irv Smith Jr., and Michael Pierce. But so are the Packers. Have a look.

5 – An official endorsement to keep Mason Cole in the starting lineup but in a slightly different capacity.

Dustin Baker is a political scientist who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2007.
