To Vikings Fans

I am a vikings fan myself and I was just wondering if everyone remememers where they were when Anderson missed that kick in '98 and if you have ever truly recovered from that game? I know it was a long time ago I am just worried that might be the closest they ever get in my life time.

How about that time they got smoked by the Giants in the NFC Championship game in 2001. They made it pretty close then. I know, I am an A-hole for bringing up bad memories like this.

Yeah, but I would much rather lose 41-0 when you just got dominated the whole game then lose in OT after you miss a FG to clinch the game. Its a lot easier to deal with when everything goes wrong rather then just one key play. Oh and when they lost to the Giants that team shouldnt of even got that far they were half the team the 98 team was.

Your mission: Watch every game you can this season.

Behind the Eagles (assuming TO is his normal superstar self), the Vikings are no worse than the second-best team in the NFC this year. Atlanta and maybe St. Louis should be the only teams to challenge. The Vikings' defense is so much better than it was in 98, and the offense isn't taking as much of a hit as it seems like missing Randy.

Skol Vikings!

I don't want to talk about it.

Haha I already told my boss I have become a born again Christian and have decided to start going to church every sunday so I can't work. I am excited about this year team though. The team they are building now it the type that could eventaully win a Superbowl, finally someone realized that you have a better chance of winning a SB with defense instead of offense.

Why oh why would you bring that up. I still contend that it wasn't poor Gary's fault we lost that game but more of a Dennis Green/Randell Cunningham blunder, I'd rather not think about it at all.......

We are looking awful good this year so far. I can't wait to watch the game tonight... and I think I'm goin to mankato on Sunday to catch a practice. I obviously really like our chances this year.

DEnny should have tried to score at the end of the game, but Ive always blamed Robert SMith too the game would have already been over if he hadn't kept running out of bounds in the finals minutes before Gary missed the FG.

Yeah, but the Vikes still need a real coach. Tice is gonna be good for at least 2-3 losses this year just by himself. If they had a real coach I think they'd be NFC favorites today, in light of what's going on with the Eagles. But with Tice as Head Coach... god only knows what will happen with this team.

One thing to remember, yeah it would have been nice to win that game, but don't forget the Vikes still would have had another game to play to bring home a Championship and that Denver team was top-notch. They were defending champs, didn't lose a single game until after they had clinched their division, and had a terrific running game to bring at the Vikes. I think they most likely would have given the Vikes more than they could handle.
