is all too real. 50+ year history, never finding glory. So many great teams, yet playoff and Superbowl failures that are almost too numerous and ridiculous to be true. And here we are again hoping this time will be different. With a chance to be the first team to play a Superbowl in their own stadium, you get the feeling that the football gods (and the Vikes themselves) will somehow find a way to keep the misery alive.
Ah, what the hell. V-I-K-I-N-G-S!!!

well, it's always cause for concern...when you're going into a playoff game and your opponent has a decided, decided edge at quarterback. The Vikings defense will have to play great

AFL curse...Vikings bailed on the league after telling other AFL ownership they would be there.

They were cursed by Sid Gillman and Hank Stram

The one that REALLY hurt was the 1998 NFC championship game In Minnesota.
Vikings had a great season. As an Eagles fan, I was happy to see Randall Cunningham revive his career.
( we went 3-13 with Rodney Peete as QB, Ray Rhodes was fired, we hired Andy Reid , who promptly pissed off everybody in Philly for drafting Donavan McNabb instead of Ricky Williams.)

The Vikings were ahead of Atlanta 27-20 with 3 minutes to go in the game. Gary Anderson , who had been the best kicker that season in the NFC, lined up for a 30 yd attempt. Make it and this game is on ice.
He missed....the first FG he missed in something like 12 straight games.
Atlanta went down and scored to tie it up....overtime....Atlanta wins 30-27.....
Haunting...

At a tailgate about a block from US Bank stadium. One group brought their own sauna.

Horrible challenge. Got suckered into it.

Got a two-fer there. Ice the kicker and save a time out.

Save a timeout?

He wasn't down.

But clearly his forward progress was stopped.

Instead of calling a timeout before the kick.

I have to assume NO knew it wasn't a sack. It was very clear on all replays

They get charged a timeout for a failed challenge. Not sure where they are saving a time out.

Huh, didn't know about that rule. Then I'm all out of reasons for that challenge.

First the Sooners and now the Vikings. As far as I'm concerned, football should be just two quarters long.

If NO is throwing trick plays on a 3rd and 1, Vikes still have a chance.

I thought it was a good call, just missed the execution by a few inches.

Without Rhodes or Sendejo, the Vikings Defense is a shell of what it normally is

If the Vikings can stop getting penalties, I like their chances to score and win the game.

All that's needed is a drive to within field goal range and then miss the field goal. Then it will be business as usual.
