    So much potential. So much history and nothing to show for it. It’s tough being a Vikings fan sometimes but I’ll never forget these moments. It will make a Super Bowl that much sweeter to have endured so much heartbreak

    My Dad loved this team and was a fan since 1961 until his death a few years ago. He would've loved the Diggs catch against the Saints but wouldn't have grumbled about another conference let down. Of all the games he watched and dissected (he had a great football mind) throughout the years the one Vikings game he seemed bitter about was the Vikings first Super Bowl against the Chiefs "Bud was outcoached pure and simple" they should've won. Even if the Vikings were getting blown out like in the 2001 NFC championship game against the Giants he would watch until the very end...he just loved that team.
    After the 2011 season I quit. My Dad literally took it personal (to a degree). He was actually upset that I turned my back on his beloved Vikings. I explained that I took the Vikings losses more personal than he did and it had no longer become enjoyable but painful to watch..."I'm done" I told him. It never strained our relationship but he would be greatly disappointed to know I have not looked back. If the Vikings ever make it back to the S.B. I hope it is with a team that is a true contender five S.B. losses would be too much. If there is any fanbase deserving of a S.B. it's this one, however, Lions fans would disagree.
    This is dedicated to my Dad (through thick and thin) a Viking fan forever.

      Thanks for your post. Might I suggest that you come back aboard the Vikings longboat , and try to enjoy each game. Experience the joy of winning. One day WE WILL WIN THE BIG ONE. For now, enjoy each game as they come. After all, at the end of every season there's one Champion and THIRTY ONE disappointed franchises going back to the drawing board and preparing for the upcoming draft. And the odds are, that this year's Champion won't win it the next season. So, enjoy them when they happen, pray for good health for our team, and SKOL, VIKINGS!

      No shame in that man. As an eagles fan, I would love for the eagles and vikings to meet again, and I wouldn't be mad if the vikings won because that franchise deserves a title more than anything. Anybody that has some sort of devotion is worthy of being considered a fan. The eagles frustrated me for so many years but when they won it all in February 2018, it was well worth the wait. Sorry though it was done at the Vikings' new location U.S. bank stadium.

      @Chuck Yufarley to a degree probably but come on it had to be infuriating losing to the 3-12 cardinals after just dismantling the 12-2 chiefs the week before. To me the most painful one has to be the 1998 game against the Falcons because if Gary Anderson makes the easy fg Vikings get to the super bowl and personally I think they beat Denver in that game. Again I hope the Vikings get their first super bowl title

      @@gmoneyslotmachinevideos Like I said, after all the years of having them rip out our hearts, that loss, to me anyway, isn't more than a blip by comparison. I probably remember the heartbreaks from the Super Bowl years more because I was younger and REALLY wore my heart on my sleeve for the team then. The Cardinal loss, the missed FG against the Seahawks, the drubbing they took in Philly, all par for the course by now. I agree with you about the loss against Atlanta. I was at the game and had decided that if they scored on that drive, the game was over and I wanted to be first in line to buy an NFC championship shirt, so I watched Anderson's miss while standing at a souvenir table. He had all the shirts and hats and whatnot all ready to go...piles of them. Anderson misses the kick and the guy quietly starts hiding all the championship merch. Son. Of. A. Bitch!
      I think that loss saved us from an 0-5 SB record, though. Their defense was really beaten up and with Denver's offense, I think they had a good chance of losing that game. '87 and '09 were their best shots at winning.

    Great video! I’ve been a die-hard Viking fan my whole life. I’ve lived the heartbreak from the late 80’s to now. I became a Vikings fan when I played pop-warner/youth football. My hometown used NFL teams in that league and I was the QB for the Vikings. I have been a fan since. I’m from WV and Lonnie Warwick, Vikings LB from ‘65-‘72, lives in my area. Randy Moss grew up about an hour away from this area as well. My sophomore year of high school we played against DuPont, in basketball, which featured Randy Moss & Jason Williams.
    I will always bleed purple & gold! I just want to see them raise the Lombardi trophy up one time in my lifetime. Let’s keep the faith, we have a promising young team. Skol!!

      Buffalo's 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses must have been torturous to watch during the Kelly/Thomas years. They changed the overtime rules after the Vikings loss to Atlanta that both teams would get a possession if the first team scored a field goal. With what happened to the Bills last year, there's talk that they may change the current rules after a touchdown score. Minnesota/Buffalo = misery loves company!

    Being a Viking fan is the hardest thing any sports fan can endure.
    I know most will say "oh try being a Browns fan" insert any other mediocre team.
    Why I feel being a Vikings fan is worst is because there is always hope.
    This team has boasted some of the best rosters in NFL history and have nothing to show for it. They always look promising, dominate the regular season and then implode when it matters most.
    I mean knowing your team is bad and not expecting anything from them is expected; however, having hope only to be let down every damn year, is disheartening.
    I don't consider myself a fan of the Vikings anymore, I just say I follow them and leave it at that.
    I am tired of being sad and hurt when they end up on the losing end of a playoff game. It's harder being a fan of a team that is expected to play well and then they don't, than it is being a fan of a team that you know is going to be bad annually.

    Everyone talks about Gary Anderson's missed field goal in 1998 but he should not have even attempted the kick. The Vikings should have been taking a knee and going to the Super Bowl with a seven point win. On that last Vikings drive when they led by seven and were trying to run out the clock an Ivy league running back named Robert Smith made not one, not two, but three insanely dumb plays. Three times he ran out of bounds without being forced to stopping the clock for Atlanta and leaving them just over a minute to come back and tie the game. If he just makes two boneheaded plays instead of three the only chance for Atlanta is one last second 71 yards hail mary.

Cunningham throws a pick-6 right at the end of the first half instead of squatting on it and even when Atlanta tried it with about a minute to play in regulation, Green opts to THEN squat on it and play for overtime where they promptly lost to an inferior team. Denver/Minnesota would've been a great game. Thanks Dennis! The man could spot talent, was a terrific motivator, but a BAD clock manager. As for Favre in '09, "This isn't Detroit, man! This is the Super Bowl!" Thanx PA! #skol

    And I've been here for it all !!!
    It's becoming very clear to me that I will probably depart this mortal coil never having seen my Vikings win that elusive Lombardi .
    I've often wondered, who in football heaven we pissed off so badly that they'd continually jerk this team and its fans around like this .
    Maybe it's the ghost of George Halas never forgiving our upstart Vikings for rubbing his Bears face in the turf in our very first game .
    Who knows and at this point does it matter ... I'll just end by saying the same thing we Vikings fans say every season , there's always next year !!!!

    I was six when the Viking came in the league. I sat through each and every single heartbreak. I'm not exactly sure when it happened.
    But the bad luck or bad Karma or Jinx or whatever it is that permeates this franchise. Has finally gotten to be to much for me. I will
    not watch these games live any longer. It's too stressful and too heartbreaking.
    And it's always something. I will record the game and then watch for the final score. If they win, I will watch through the game and
    watch how it was played. No matter what happened. I knew the outcome and didn't need to get stressed out about the officials or
    the bad luck or just crappy play. I watched this team for sixty years and this team has disappointed me countless times. Numerous
    miracle plays just to end up disappointing fans in the next game. This franchise is literally jinxed. If they ever again reach the Super
    Bowl. I will watch it after I record it. But only if they win. To be honest. I don't think I need to worry about that. This team is not going
    anywhere. I don't expect them to reach the Super Bowl again in my lifetime.
    This is really depressing, but the problem with this team runs very deep. There is something about this franchise. It's not the ownership.
    But it is something to do with expectations. It has become a mountain too high for this team to climb. It doesn't matter who is on the
    team or the amount of talent. Teams that win the big games have a culture of winning. The Vikings franchise always appears happy
    and content to just be there and it's not enough and the fan should be demanding more after sixty years of failure. The owners and
    the coaches and right down to the last player will say the right things. But this team never plays like there is no tomorrow. That is what's
    missing. This team never leaves it all on the field. Never. The history books prove my point. They come back the next year and put up
    just another mediocre season. Regardless of their record. This team finds a way to fail and fall short.

Wade worked as a coach for his beloved Cowboys until his way too early sad passing. Btw Darrin Nelson was included in the Walker trade but refused to report so he stayed and a pick added, leading to Jimmy saying, "when it comes to Nelson we rather have the pick anyway. " The trade brought the first Cowboy I ever met Issac Holt.

    3) 2017 was truly a year of destiny. New stadium, hyped fan base with the new skol chant, lost 2 starting QBs and a stud RB by week 2, THEN we get the Minneapolis Miracle. It truly felt as though it was our fate to finally get our first SB and on our home turf. That Philly game hurt bad.

In 1987 they beat a VERY good 49er team to get to the champ. game.

    Well, I for one remember the Golden Age of the 70s. Sure it would have been nice to win a Super Bowl but at least they could beat the Rams and Cowboys to get there. I was at the Vikings' games in Dallas. They defeated Dallas 27-10 in the 73 NFC Title Game, 23-21 in Week 4 of 74, and lost to the Cowboys in Texas Stadium in 77. (The most exciting part of that game was when the guy caught on fire). They never fell to Rams until the 1978 playoffs. And the worst loss showed just how good of a coach Grant was. After the Hail Mary loss, they came back and returned to Super Bowl 11. Lots of teams that suffered cruel playoff losses collapsed the year after. Wally Hilgenburg told me when I was working on an article that was published, that the reason they lost Super Bowls was that they didn't score enough points. Their style was predicated on other teams making mistakes. The Raiders, Dolphins, Chiefs, and Steelers didn't make them in Super Bowls but the Vikings did beat them all in the regular season when they did. I am very much a Bud Grant disciple in my coaching style. (I coach Texas High School Football) I do not like long practices spending all weekend watching films and wasting time sitting in the field house. As Grant said, "time does not represent work."
    Grant also didn't put up with nonsense as Dallas's Tom Landry did. Chuck Foreman and Ahmad Rashad acted bored after scoring. Sammy White after his bonehead move in 1976 against the Lions never did anything again to celebrate. I always liked their classiness and Grant said losing those Super Bowls didn't change his life. He would have liked to have won them sure, but he still pretty much got to do what he wanted in life.

    And the insurance (draft picks) would only go to Dallas if those players could not make the team. Jimmy Johnson later admitted the players were better than he already had, but cut them because he wanted the draft picks (or in other words, Jimmy Johnson tanked).
