Im 46 and been a Vikings fan since birth. Ive never seen a Vikings Superbowl team. Even the 98-99 team i didnt feel as confident as this year. We have a defense. We have offense. We have special teams. We have coaching. You need all 4 to be legit and this team is it. Skol through the bowl!
Nah man, the 98 team was the team of destiny - idk how they managed to not make the Superbowl that year. Everything lined up for them - killer offense, a defense that played its part perfectly, special teams (literally the best season any kicker has ever had, lol), and a power vacuum in the NFC, where their only real competition was a team with even less of a championship pedigree than they had. What more can you ask for? This years Vikings can hang with the best, but there's WAY more competition than there was in 98. Entering the playoffs, you had to feel like the Vikings were at least a 40% chance to win it all. This year they have to get through so many teams that are just as good as they are that it's maybe 10% (I'm counting Sunday as a playoff game - winner DOES get a free pass to round 2, after all)
@@Farting-2 Everyone blames Anderson but I blame Dennis Green. He settled for a lead instead of extending it more and more throughout the game. Vikings could and should have scored 45 points.
@@joelwillems4081 idk, do people really blame Anderson? I mean, everyone LAMENTS Anderson's miss, but I've never heard anyone say "that f-ing Anderson, what a bum, how could he miss a kick like that?" I feel like Vikings fans generally appreciate the job Anderson did for us that year and just feel really, really bad for him that his only miss came at the worst possible time (as it turned out, ofc - it's not like the Vikings were dead in the water after that miss, they still had like 5 more chances to win the game on offence or defense). I remember the offseason going into that year - kicking was a HUGE question mark for us. Fuad Reveiz was long gone and they had scrambled to sign Eddie Murray partway through '97, but he was also out of the picture. They just kind of sighed into Anderson, who was in his 17th year and joined his 4th team in 5 years, and lo and behold, best season any kicker ever had?!? It was the kind of miracle that made you think they HAD to win the Superbowl. But it's the Vikings, so no, no they did not. Someway, somehow, everything had to come crashing down, and Anderson was just the vehicle the fates chose that day. It's not like Blair Walsh in 2015/16, where he struggled with short kicks all year long, and then it finally cost them in the playoffs (like seriously, couldn't someone have just punched Richard Sherman or something to make it a 42 yarder? He probably would have made that.) You are dead right on Dennis Green though. If clock management was the SAT's, Denny Green wouldn't even get the 400 you get for filling in your name. Watch the 4th quarter of the 1997/8 wild card game vs the Giants (and his postgame interview with the field reporter, if you can find it). Dude made what has to be the DUMBEST clock management decision in NFL history, somehow had it work out, and then he goes and talks to Lesley Visser like he's some kind of clock guru or something and he knew what he was doing all along. Were the Giants who he thought they were?!? OK I found it, this video has the full game and postgame interview: th-cam.com/video/ahEHESa496E/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been a Viking Fan since 1976 . Since Fran Tarkenton & the Purple People Eaters. The last time I was this excited for the Vikings was in 1998 . That season , they went 15-1 in the regular season . Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter & Randy Moss . I’m 55 , and I remember the heartbreaks of the NFC Championship Game losses of 1978 , 1987, 1998 , 2000, 2009, 2017 . I think this Vikings Team can win the # 1 seed in the NFC , make it into the Super Bowl & finally win it !! We’ve been waiting a long time , to get back to another Super Bowl . I’ve been waiting a lifetime .
I am right there with you. To see Randy Moss catch the the rock and run 80 yards blowing by everyone down into the endzone was a thing of beauty. I have been excited all day and can't wait til tomorrow!
I'm a Detroit Lions fan and I just read that the Vikings bought 1,900 tickets behind the Lions bench and sold them to Viking season ticket holders. I gotta say, that's a really slick move and if the NFL doesn't make that illegal for teams to do, more teams will do this in the future. My hats off to the Vikings, y'all are really pulling out all the tricks in the book.
JUST ROAR EVEN LOUDER❣️ ROAR BABY, ROAR❣️💙🦁💙❣️💙🦁💙❣️💙🦁💙❣️💙🦁💙❣️ We’ll def. be cheering & sending the Lions good vibes with love from across the Detroit River, here in Canada! 🇨🇦 ❣️🙌🏼 Hope they can hear us❣️😂🙌🏼
I gotta disagree. I'm guessing 42-34 Lions. Darnold is going to throw a couple balls to Joseph and Branch. Jefferson is going to run all over the Lions but passing it so much is going to cost the Vikings
@@tomszymanski point me to this cause everything I've read picks lions with some overlong boring explanation. the only team with a worse ROI in gambling than the Minnesota vikings is the detroit lions and even if they were 16-0 rn I'd sooner pull my own teeth than put any money on either of these perpetual losers
@clarkcant4818 Detroit is 11-5 against the spread, this season. And almost the entirety of ESPN has turned their backs on Detroit for this game, when picking a winner.
I am 65 years old born and raised in Minnesota this team is been my team since I was born I can't wait for the Vikings to show the kitties how the game is played I'm predicting 5 sacks on smack talking golf also predicting we win 41/29 our defense is 3x what defense the Lions have left even full strength we are going to kick your butt
I was a VIKINGS fan since Joe Kapp was in the Super Bowl in the 69 season. I am now 65. Fran Tarkenton was another reason I stayed a fan even till now. SKOL VIikings!
Hello i have been a vikings fan all my life 68 years old and will always be a fan the 98 vikes with Chris Carter Randy Moss and Jake Reed we almost got to championship game this is the vikings years GO VIKINGS WE BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT
No feeling sorry because no-one feels sorry for the 0-4 Superbowl losses! I've been waiting long time since the Bud Grant era. I'm 64 and, just moved to Fairbault Minnesota September 19th. Ironically, Minnesota has a great chemistry and what a blessing it would be! Go Minnesota Vikings!
18 all day long. Put up big numbers on these guys. 5 TDs by yourself . Then the others can eat as well. It's time to shut these guys down. It's time to win BIG!!!!!
Don’t know what the final score will be but I’m sure it’s gonna be a great match up and will be decided by 1 or 2 points in the waning seconds. Keep your heart meds handy. SKOL
I love this. I hope JJ, "Justin Jefferson", hears that shit talking and gets Hyped over it. It's gonna give him some anger to harness. I really hope he humiliates them!
I’m 82. Been a fan since 1963. This team is the real deal. Darnold is as good as 2 minute Tommy. Defense is the complete package. KOC is as good as Bud Grant, if not better. Skol!
The kicker situation is going to have a impact, our game plan will be effected no doubt. We couldn't beat the lions with a reliable kicker earlier. But we do have our TE back this time around. But will it be enough to make up for the kicking game.
Predict the score! Vikings vs. Lions

SKOL VIKINGS!! 31 - 27 in a typical heart stopping Vikings win! And yes...finally an 87 Hawk to the corner TD...been waiting all year for it!
Yes!
We must feed the 3rd Son.
Hawk pulls it down in the corner for 6.
*SKOL!*
🙏🏽✌🏽💜
Do not predicted! Everytime you predicted it ain't like that.🤣🤣🤣
Hock!! Yes definitely make him a priority in the Red zone
That score is also my guess! Lions can out up some points, but can't stop the Minny offense. Only the Vikings can stop that offense, with mistakes.
I gotta disagree. I'm guessing 42-34 Lions. Darnold is going to throw a couple balls to Joseph and Branch. Jefferson is going to run all over the Lions but passing it so much is going to cost the Vikings
18 all the way. He is not only a great person but one of the best athletes ever. What a great athlete for kids to look up to
It pleases me that everyone is doubting the Vikings. It gives them fuel to prove them wrong!
Literally everyone is picking the Vikings in this game.

He was 33/43.
Typo on first graphic ---- Terrion Arnold not Terrian****
Who?
Lol Jefferson always gets his yards against detroit, and the vikings still loses
I’m 82. Been a fan since 1963. This team is the real deal. Darnold is as good as 2 minute Tommy. Defense is the complete package. KOC is as good as Bud Grant, if not better. Skol!
