@@kyledorsty906Exactly, losing 4 Superbowls within a whole decade along with having spectacular NFL seasons just to lose in hilarious fashion during January football is the most typical thing the Vikings can do after all
The fact that people labeled this team as Superbowl contenders knowing they have a history of collapsing as soon as the playoffs rolls around is crazy 🤣
@@thekingbarrelmaker7642most Vikings fans expected to beat the Giants, that being said I don’t think there’s one fan that expected to beat the Cowboys and Eagles, maybe the 49ers.
2017: You rebound with a 13-3 record and your defense harkens back to the PPE days of the 70s. You somehow pull a rabbit out of your butt in the Divisional against New Orleans. Full speed ahead. 2017 NFCCG: You get steamrolled in Philadelphia at the hands of a backup QB. At least there's next year? 2018 Offseason: Kirk Cousins is your new QB. Please win against good teams. 2018 1st Half: You're back in the playoff picture with a 5-3-1 start to the season. Keep it up. 2018 2nd Half: The oasis turns out to be a mirage as you win only 3 more games that season. 2019: You have another decent season at 10-6 and Dalvin Cook has turned into one of the best RBs in the league. You actually won a playoff game in the Superdome as well. Let's go. 2019 Divisional: And you get completely run over in Santa Clara. Oh look, your offensive coordinator left to take the Cleveland job and has had some success there. 2020 Draft: Stefon Diggs is gone, but here's this LSU WR named Justin Jefferson. Let's draft him. 2020: Jefferson turns into the Rookie Of The Year, but you blow way too many important games down the stretch to finish 7-9. 2021 Weeks 1-12: Despite blowing a lot of games this year, you are still in contention for a Wild Card Spot. Fingers crossed. 2021 Week 13: YOU LOST TO THE WINLESS LIONS? There's not enough liquor in the world for the pain. February 2022: Mike Zimmer is finally axed after a dismal 8-9 season. You decide to chase trends and hire Kevin O’Connell as your new head coach. November 2022: You’re 8-1 with one of the best offenses and defenses in football, arguably the best WR in the game and are coming off a miracle in Buffalo. Full speed ahead. January 2023: Boom. You’re Super Bowl contenders with a 13-4 season. And you get your hearts broken by the Giants again. That team hadn’t won a playoff game in over a decade. Back to the bar.
2022: 13-4 miraculous wins in the final seconds of games, Justin Jefferson pulling off miraculous catches, down 33 points to the Colts to come back and win in overtime. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, THIS HAS TO BE THE YEAR!!!!! One and done to Daniel Jones and the New York Football Giants. The legacy of failure lives on....
@Shadow Jinkus enjoy the mass exodus of talent in Minnesota Nobody wants to play for a trash organization that's all show n no results Not to mention you have captain choke job and a horrible defense so your future is going downhill real quick
"You are so terrible that you use necromancy to revive Bud Grant for another mediocre season." LOL! Fucking brutal, dude! Really glad to see your channel picking up steam. You're my favorite lolcow
Cuz it's well-produced, funny, entertaining, got that Spongebob soundtrack, and it's about Football! I'd be dope to see if you made a video on the Seahawks! Wonder if they've got enough material for you to work with XD
Updated 2024 ‘You go 14-3 and are a monster in the NFC while at the same time reviving Sam Darold’s career. You fought hard to disprove the naysayers when all looked bleak. Sure, you lost to the lions for the number one seed, but you can still prove you’re a force to be reckoned with. Get it done boys!’ Wildcard Sam Darnold see’s so many ghosts that you think he’s trapped in the haunted mansion and you get tea bagged by the Rams
2018 You lose all 3 of your quarterbacks from last season to free agency but you quickly fill the hole by signing Kirk Cousins to an 84 million dollar contract. Its time to shake off that brutal loss to the Eagles last year and finally get back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 42 years. 2018 Regular Season You get revenge on those damn Eagles early in the season but your team is mediocre at 8-6-1. But you still have a chance at the playoffs. All you have to do is beat the surprising Bears at home and you will be fine. Week 17 Nope. You completely shit the bed losing to the Bears 24-10 and to add insult to injury, those damn Eagles get the last laugh and take the 6 seed. No Playoffs for you. Just keep the shots coming until I pass out.
The Vikings have had more talent over the past 50 years than many franchises that have won the Super Bowl. You could make the argument that Minnesota is the most underachieving sports franchise in the modern era.
Dallas Cowboys. *This fucking team will go 6-10 in 2018 despite having talent on both sides of the ball and that has been a common theme since 2007* More honorable mentions include the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles
Jeremy TerWisscha I’m talking about mediocre to downright bad teams that are wasting the talent on their rosters. None of these teams are making the playoffs
Today is the six year anniversary of the publication of this video. A lot has changed since then: The Chiefs have appeared in and won multiple Super Bowls. The Patriots are mortal. The Bills are no longer the walking mediocrity of football. The Bengals shattered their playoff curse and are actually competent. But the Vikings continue to be the Vikings.
And the Lions won their first division title in 30 years, won their first playoff game in 32 years, win multiple playoff games since 1957 and appear in their second NFC Championship game for the second time in the postmerger era
This video is still relevant to this day. Also, R.I.P., Bud Grant. 2017: Holy crap. You go 13-3 and easily qualify for the playoffs. Case Keenum, a journeyman quarterback, had the season of his life. You also have one of the NFL's best defenses. You are the NFC's team to beat. You're not going to mess this up. It's your year. 2017 NFC Divisional: After a first-round bye, you face a familiar adversary in the New Orleans Saints. You start fast and lead 17-0 at halftime, but your offense slows, and your lauded defense forgets how to play and chokes the game away. Wil Lutz scores the game-winning field goal with less than a minute remaining to put New Orleans up 24-23. Looks like this season's done... The final play of the 2017 NFC Divisional: BUT WAIT! STEFON DIGGS PULLS OFF A MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE! WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! With that win, you have a real chance at the Super Bowl, which is in your new home stadium this year. 2017 NFC Championship: All I can say is... "Only a brick wall can stop you. Its name is the Eagles." And two weeks later, THEY won the Super Bowl in that stadium that I mentioned earlier. 2018 offseason: You let Case Keenum go, but you receive a good improvement at quarterback in Kirk Cousins. Losing Jerick McKinnon hurts, but you'll make the playoffs again. You can do so. 2018 Week 5: You exact your vengeance on the reigning champion Eagles by shutting down their offense for most of the game. 2018 Week 17: You're 8-6-1, but a win over the Bears, of all teams, would put you back in the playoffs. Then you succumb to them. And the Eagles also win their game, thereby eliminating you from the playoffs. Where's the liquor when I need it? 2019: You bounce back and make the playoffs with a solid 10-6 record. In the Wild Card Round, your opponent is... the New Orleans Saints. The same team you defeated back in 2017 in the NFC Divisional, but they countered in Week 8 back in 2018. It's time for you to settle the score. 2019 Wild Card: Wow, you're holding strong against one of the league's most lethal offensive attacks. You have a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. And now comes the annual letdown. Overtime, 2019 Wild Card: Never mind! You win the coin toss and drive down the field for the game-winning touchdown, defeating the godless Saints. Quite amazing. Maybe THIS could be the season. 2019 NFC Divisional: Until you get stopped by the 49ers. Next year, there will always be. 2020 offseason: Stefon Diggs gets traded to the Buffalo Bills. 2020 NFL Draft: Here's Justin Jefferson from LSU as the new WR. Don't waste his talent. 2020: You start 1-5 and it's all downhill from there. Your defense falls off a cliff due to many injuries. 2021: Barr and Kendricks are back, so MAYBE you have a chance to go far... I take that back. You suffer painful loss after painful loss and miss the playoffs at 8-9. These painful losses include missing yet another chip-shot field goal to lose to the Cardinals in Week 2, losing to a Cowboys team without Dak Prescott in Week 8, AND losing to the Lions who haven't won a game since 2020 in Week 13. WHAT. IS. WRONG. 2022 offseason: You finally give Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman the axe after years of woeful underachieving. You hire an inexperienced head coach in Kevin O'Connell, fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Los Angeles Rams. This may not end well... 2022: Oh, never mind... you're 13-4, and you managed to complete the biggest comeback in NFL history against Matt Ryan and the Colts. Down 33-0, you rally back and tie the game at 36 to send the game into overtime, where Greg Joseph leads you to victory 39-36 to clinch the NFC North, and make it to the playoffs again. THIS HAS TO BE THE SEASON. 2023 NFC Wild Card Round: Daniel Jones says NO. You get murdered by a Giants team with a lot of injuries. TO THE LIQUOR VAULT!
2023-2024 Season: Begin the first 5 weeks by going 1-4 and both Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins clash with ownership. (Ding) You regain consciousness and are back to .500 and (Screams) (Kirk Cousins tears his right Achilles tendon) You can never have anything good can you? (Ding) Behold the the brand new Quarterback Carousel of Jaren Hall Nick Mullins & Josh Dobbs (Screams) (Ding) The Mirage of winning is slammed shut as Josh Dobbs is only used as Astronaut propaganda in a Vikings Cold War stalemate. (Ding) Lose the next 4-5 games and miss the playoffs at 7-10. (2024 Free Agency) Kirk Cousins, Danielle Hunter, Marcus Davenport, and Jordan Hicks are now gone but you went and picked up Jonathan Greenard for $76 Million? Good luck with that. And wait a god damn minute you signed Sam Bradford 2.0 retrieve in Sam Darnold? Vikings gonna Viking
*2017* Boom. You guys are Super Bowl contenders again and it could not have happened at a better time. You go 13-3, and the Super Bowl is in your own stadium this year and you field a defense that is a reincarnation of the vicious Purple People Eaters of the 70s teams along with an ascending QB in Case Keenum and a strong running game. This is your year to deliver. Get it done. *2017 Divisional Round* You're up 17 points at halftime. You got this in the bag. *25 seconds left, cue Wil Lutz field goal clip* Didn't see that one coming. Ughh, time to go get the liquor... *10 seconds left, cue Stefon Diggs TD clip* Holy shit, you guys DIDN'T choke?? You actually pulled off a fucking miracle?? And now you get to go to the NFC Championship game against the Eagles of all teams? Someone is finally getting over the hump this year!! *2017 NFC Championship Game* Unfortunately, that someone is not you. Get completely shat on by an Eagles team that was down to their backup QB. BARTENDER!!!
Yeah I agree. Knowing the Vikings next season they will go 15-2 (making them the first team in NFL history to win 15 games in a season twice), have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and lose there first game of the playoffs to the Lions.
I was born in 1962. Grew up watching my beloved purple! Whoever put this together has their hands on the pulse of what it's truly like to be a Vikings fan!!! This historical documentary is SPOT ON!!! Thank you for the walk down memory lane!
Referring to the Vikings as a “jobber to the stars” is the most realistic and accurate thing I’ve ever heard said about the team (and I say this as a diehard Vikings fan).
I’m a loyal Minnesotan, and I root for all of our “Big four” franchises. Only the Twins (MLB) have ever come through for me in my life (and that was at age 15 and 19) In a life that in December of 2021 will have lasted for half a century! Don’t even get me started on the Vikings! No matter what has happened previously in that season they will hit a banana peel! Welcome to Minnesota Sports! lol
@@shifu9633 I hope we play you cocky fuckers in the playoffs again. Saints are a bust team in the making with their childish players who used up the last of their talents in that same Eagles game. You guys have to play a real seasoned playoff team cause old man drew can only take you so far. Once you fail your fanbase will go back into hiding for another 10 years...possibly with bags on your heads again?
I used to rely on espn for my fill of sports. Now it feels like this channel does a better job keeping me up to date on sports XD. Looks like I found my new source of sports fill lol.
14-3, and you can’t even get out of the first round. The lights were too bright for Sam Darnold, their easy schedule really was the reason for their record. The sporting Gods led LA to win due to tragedy back home, and Vikings must suffer as a result. Minnesota and Minneapolis remain the most miserable state/city in all of North American sports. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME THE SEASON CAN’T END LIKE THAT!”
2019: Okay so you guys have seemed to stop underachieving and actually made the playoffs. You even allow us to laugh at the Saints again by upsetting them in the Wild Card round. Kudos. 2019 Divisional Round: The Vikings travel back to the late 80s as they are thoroughly outplayed and dominated by the 49ers. They end your Cinderella story before it gets a chance to begin. At this point my blood is 90% alcohol and 10% crushed dreams.
@Harry Engel I mean let's be honest, the Vikes have been the NFL's second-best-at-best since they had to make do with awkwardly modifying Met Stadium for football.
@@thewheatleypodcast litterally no one said that, they just said it sucks to be a vikings fan because all they do is break their fans heart, no one said anything about the lions or jets.
@@RandomPerson-ew2lm Cheating or not cheating. You have to admit the vikings made an epic fail, You had the opportunity to win the game by taking a knee and kicking field goal. Instead Brett Favre threw a pic that cost you guys the game.
2017: you make another nfc championship game with a chance to play the super bowl in your own stadium thanks to a horrible missed play by Marcus Williams. Only a brick wall can stop u: it’s name is the eagles.
2018: You're highly incosistent, but you just need to beat the Bears and you're in the playoffs. Wait, nevermind, you lose the cruical Week 17 game and The Eagles find a way to sneak into the postseason. WELCOME TO THE LOVE BOAT OF BOTTLING PLAYOFF TEAMS, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!! How the Vikings are going to screw up this time?
2018: "You got the hottest QB of the free agency in Kirk Cousins. Sure, he may not be clutch but he was with the Washington Redskins. He's as competent as Case Keenum and has great stats. With Thielen and Diggs, you'll at least make the playoffs." *Loses to Chicago, misses playoffs* "I'm surprised Vikings fans don't get liver failure from drinking so much."
Time to add another notch! 2024: The Vikings have a surprising 14-win season with a revived Sam Darnold at QB. You can clinch the NFC North and a 1st round bye by beating the Lions on the road! 2024 Week 18: You got absolutely shitstomped by Jahmyr Gibbs. Now you have to play on the road in the Wild Card round! 2024 Wild Card Round: You get gored again by the Rams! “YOU BLEW IT, BOY! YOU REALLY BLEW IT!”
Nearly 8 years have marched on since the creation of this video. Let us look back on what the Vikings have accomplished since then: 2017: AP Retires from the Vikings, but you make it to the playoffs at 13-3 and Case Keenum so far is a beast! It will not save you from being t-bagged 38-7 by the Eagles in the NFC Championship. 2018: This Kirk Cousins seems to be a nice strapping option. You unfortunately miss the playoffs at 8-7-1. 2019: Cousins is a pretty decent QB, and you make a 10-6 record! Only to be outmatched by the 49ers in the divisional round. As consolation, your team has won their 500th game as a franchise after beating the Raiders earlier in the season. Maybe you can look up to something good. 2020: I spoke prematurely as Cousins regresses and becomes team cancer. The playoff gates get slammed shut in front of your 7-9 season. 2021: Make that two years in a row at 8-9! That's probably karma for Cousins yelling about how great he is after nearly losing to a Lions team of shambling filth. 2022: You make the playoffs at 13-4, but something is definitely off about how you made more than ten of them tighter than one score games. The Giants are schmucks and you still got close call -garbage time- Kirk to bail you out. 2022 NFC Wild Card 4th quarter: It comes down to this. Make this first down and- why are you throwing a checkdown Kirk *NO KIRK STOP! YOU'RE LITERALLY THROWING THE GAME!* *_The checkdown is complete_* _I tried to warn him, and now it's going to hang over his head until he owes up to his idiocy!_ 2023: Kirk Cancer blew out his Achilles Tendon and fresh air graces Minnesota at last! Joshua Dobbs gets to replace him too. Things are still shaky, but if you can beat the Lions you might just sneak into the playoffs! 2023 Season game 17: You are beaten out by a well-oiled Lions machine and are eliminated from the playoffs. It's gotta be the curse of Kirk yelling about beating Detroit two years ago like it was the fate of the universe, wasn't it. 2024 offseason: You need a sleeper card of a Quarterback to push you back to relevance! And his name is... Sam Darnold?! 2024 Season: Darnold is actually doing good? And you go 15-2 too?! I was saving tickets for the Love Boat! Let's let this one play out then. 2024 wild card: McDarnold's folds to the Rams. What else would we expect? I can at least savor some Fireball.
2024 offseason: Well, you lost Kirk Cousin to the Falcon, and now you have Sam Darnold, who might still be seeing ghosts. It’s not all bad news you got Aaron Jones to make those damn Packers cry in the streets.
2017: Alright, you have one of the top rank defenses and Marcus Williams shit himself in a crucial play for you to advance to the NFC Championship...only for you to get absolutely manhandled by a Carson Wentz-less team led by NICK FUCKING FOLES...Vikings gonna Viking...
Roney Summers You forgot "You'll be the first NFL to ever play the Super Bowl at home, the Eagles lost their star QB Wentz, there is no way Nick Foles will get passed your prime Defense.
Update: After having a mediocre season with the Seahawks, he gets the walking papers. With half way through free agency he gets a workout with Miami, he has not had any contact with the Dolphins since. He is now a free agent.
I believe he set the record in his rookie year by going 8 for 8 in field goals over 50 yards. But then he missed like a 30 yard field goal against the Seahawks in the playoff and it went downhill. after that.
Update 2017: oh, you used necromancy to revive the dead and completely irrelevant carreer of case keenum for a 13-3 season Divisional round : you are up by 17-0 , you blew that lead and youre down by 24 - 23 with 9 seconds left Minneapolis miracle: wait a minute what just happened, you pulled of a miracle you are now one win away from hosting the superbowl and even better the eagles don't have their mvp candidate qb carson wentz you can do it, this you're fucking time now 2017 Nfc championship game: you get absolutely ass blasted by 38-7 , by nick fucking foles 2017 Off-season: you lose all 3 of you're starting qb's but you paid kirk cousins $84 million 2018 season: You get revenge on the eagles early in the season but you sit at 8-6-1 heading into week 17, as Long as you beat the suprisingly good bears you'll be in the playoffs.your offensive line is straight trash and you miss the playoffs with an 8-7-1 record as you couldn't even beat Mitch fucking Trubusky as the same eagles that crushed you got the #6 seed thanks to your loss. 2019: you have a bounce back season at 10-6 , but you play the 13-3 saints in the wild card round 2019 wild card: oh you beat the saints that you miracled in Minneapolis and they have the same record as the #1 and # 2 seed so if you can beat them you can probably make it to the superbowl 2019 Divisional round: you get curb stomped by the 49ers in a playoff game. . again 2020 off-season : your top reciver Stefon Diggs along with key veterans on defense are gone 2020 draft: you did lose Stefon Diggs but there' this wr from lsu named Justin Jefferson, fuck it let's give him a shot 2020 covid season : your defense is fucking terrible ,Kirk Cousins regressed big time with no Kevin Stefanski and you have a forgettable 7-9 season your first losing season since 2014, and you wasted great seasons from Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson, shit need to change now. 2021: The only words that can describe you're season are: YOU LOST TO THE WINLLESS LIONS ????!!!!!!!!!! Febuary 2022: Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman are gone
2024 Season Go 14-2 behind the resurgence of Sam Darnold. Any other year, the division and the best record would be yours. There's just one snag. One of your division rivals kept pace with you all season. No, it's not Green Bay for once. The Detroit Lions finally climbed out of the basement and are now legit contenders (or not). You got a week 18 match-up with them for the division and the best record. You got this, right Vikings? Week 18 You not only lose to the Lions. You get completely wrecked, Sam Darnold reverts back to ghost form, and you're off to L.A. to play the Rams as a 14-3 Wildcard Team. Make that Glendale Arizona to play the Rams as a 14-3 Wildcard Team. 2025 Wildcard Turn into a paper Viking against the Rams. Matthew Stafford burns your defense, and the Rams defense feasts on Sam Darnold. Another notch to your legacy of failure added. Great job Vikings now your whole fan base is seeing ghosts. Oh, and Vikings gonna Viking.
2021: Here’s another underachieving 8-9 season and missed the playoffs again, GM Rick Spielman and long time head coach Mike Zimmer is finally axed after 8 seasons, he’s a great coach for the Vikings, too bad they didn’t do anything in his tenure.
Jim Harbaugh looks like a good coaching Candidate. Never mind, he's too much of a cocky asshole and sent in back to Ann Arbor. Just hope this Kevin O'Connell is any good.
2020 Update: *2017* You guys completely bounce back and go 13-3 getting the #2 seed. Your dominant defense marks the return of the Purple People Eaters and your Offense has one of the best receiver duos, a strong run game and Quarterback Case Keenum finally having a breakout year. *2017 Divisional Game* You are up 17-0 at halftime, you have a chance to close it out... and you let the Saints come back. But it's okay! You wipe it off and get a good drive for a field goal with well under 2 minutes left to take a 23-21 lead. Doesn't matter though because you let the Saints drive downfield and get a field goal with 25 seconds left, get my beer! *2017 Divisional Game Final Play* Wait a minute... what just happened? Did you guys actually create a miracle? You got a touchdown at the last play of the game to finally go back to the NFC Championship. On top of that, you're playing a team down to their backup quarterback. You have a pretty solid chance to go to the Super Bowl which is in your home stadium. *2017 NFC Championship* Turns out you had nothing left in the tank and you get completely run over by an Eagles team led by Nick Foles. *2018 Offseason* It turns out this Case Keenum guy just isn't good enough. We need an upgrade! How about Kirk Cousins. He's coming off a great season with the Redskins, he's worth 84 Million for 4 years. He's the last piece you need to win the Super Bowl! *2018 Week 17* Kirk Cousins completely underperforms, star running back Dalvin Cook is injured, your Offensive Line sucks and you guys are 8-6-1. It's okay though! You're home for week 17 and the Bears will probably rest their starters considering the Rams are almost definitely going to beat the 49ers to lock up the 2 seed. It turns out the Bears don't even pay attention to that game and play all out, completely malling you. You fall to 8-7-1 and with the Eagles destroying the Redskins, they make the playoffs instead. How is that 84 Million you gave to Kirk Cousins looking now. Good luck with him for 3 more years. I'm gonna need a boatload of beer throughout that amount of time. Bartender! *2019 Offseason* You have invested your draft into improving your Offensive Line, led by drafting Garret Bradbury in the first round. However you do absolutely nothing about the Quarterback situation and completely trust Kirk Cousins. *2019* You have a bounce back season and go 10-6 getting the 6 seed. Here you are again playing the Saints as full blown underdogs likely to get destroyed. *2019 Wild Card Game* Kirk Cousins and company play fantastic and pull off an upset winning in Overtime! Keep in mind the Saints had the same record as the 1 and 2 seed in the NFC, so if you can beat them you can definitely go to the Super Bowl. *2019 Divisional Game* You really know how to generate false hope and then bring back memories to the old days as you guys get curb-stomped by the 49ers in a playoff game. You did absolutely nothing with Dalvin Cook while they ran all over you with some guy called Raheem Mostert. You didn't even have to defend the pass because of how dominant Mostert was. Because of how poor Cook was, you have no choice but to pass, go and throw the ball right at Richard Sherman. Vikings gonna Viking.
You should add this: *Super Bowl 52* Those Eagles that curbstomped you then proceed to take down the Evil Empire known as the Patriots and end their legacy of failure by winning their first Super Bowl...in your home stadium. And one of the players that made a key play by recovering Brady's fumble late in the game? Derek Barnett, a rookie the Eagles drafted in the first round...with the pick you traded them to get Sam Bradford. That trade really worked out well for you, huh?
@@JusticeForPottsvilleMaroons LOL I didn't even know that was the pick they traded. Why the hell did they trade a first round pick for and injury-loaded QB anyways?
FSE if you’re a Jets fan, I feel like you have more than a boatload of beer. Like even the Irish would almost tell you to calm down, then again, at least you’ve won a super bowl
Have been a Viking Fan for 49 Years. Despite the video depicting so much Failure and was Painful to watch, it was entertaining and Funny. I gave it a Thumbs Up !!
2017: You make it to the NFC Championship on the most improbable impossible play in NFL History only to get destroyed by the Unified church of Foles in Philadelphia
Yeah I agree. Knowing the Vikings next season they will go 15-2 (making them the first team in NFL history to win 15 games in a season twice), have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and lose there first game of the playoffs to the Lions.
2024 offseason: This is a catastrophe Big Kirko is gone Khyree Jackson died before walking on the gridiron and that young quarterback you drafted in the first round tore his meniscus and now have to depend on... Sam Darnold... Vikings you have ghosts in your sights. At least Jefferson didn't hold out Season: the ghosts are apparently what remain of your opponents after killing them, Darnold has turned into a sudden dynamo, Jefferson has played up to standard, Aaron Jones is steamrolling defensive lines, and the defense uses blitzing as a first language. An uncalled facemask and last second field goal are the only reasons you dont have a perfect record, and the top seed is still in play! You just have to beat a Lions team with a papershredded defense in Detroit and the NFC runs through you, now get it done. Week 18: Jahmyr Gibbs uses the master emerald and goes Super Sonic on you for four quarters, you have all of that firepower on offense against a defense reduced to bone marrow, and you don't even score a touchdown? Now you have to settle as a wild card team at a neutral site against the Rams since LA turned into the seventh circle rather than enjoy these playoffs from the comfort of your own territory. Fix this! FIX THIS NOW! Wild Card: "I'm seein' ghosts."
2024 OFF-SEASON So, the Vikings are looking to rebound from a 7-win season. Kinda remarkable they won that many games after Cousins tore his Achilles but at the same time, they dug themselves into a 0-3 hole at the start of the season. FREE AGENCY The Falcons gave Cousins a bag. Hey, I can’t be too mad about that. Get your money and good luck. We’ll miss you Kirko Chainz. They make older brother in Wisconsin cry by signing Aaron Jones and reuniting Stephon Gilmore and Andrew Van Ginkle with Brian Flores DRAFT They trade up to go get JJ McCarthy. Won a National Championship at Michigan. Perhaps that success can transition to the Vikings PRE-SEASON So I’m not really not expecting the Vikings to do much this season. It’s going to be tough to break through with Green Bay discovering that they have something with Jordan Love and your other big brother in Detroit finally getting his act together. McCarthy is showing some promise in these preseason games. Just stay out of the basement and you’ll be fine- JJ McCarthy: SCREAMS And McCarthy tore his meniscus in his right knee! just great… so… who will be starting in his place? SAM DARNOLD?! (proceeds to grab a chloroform soaked rag) welp, season is a wash, see you in 2025 REGULAR SEASON, WEEKS 1-6 the vikings are 5-0? This must be a hallucination? (checks script) oh, they are! And Sam Darnold got revenge on the Aaron Rodgers Jets in London. WEEKS 7-8, vs DET & at LAR A close home loss to the Lions and the NFL did us no favors with sending us on the road to play the Rams on a very short week. You know, if you had us at 5-2 at this part of the season and with Sam Darnold as our QB, I wouldn’t believe it WEEK 17 The Vikings rattle off 9 straight wins that include a win over the Falcons that saw Cousins implode by throwing 3 interceptions in the 2nd half, a huge win at Seattle, and yet again surviving a second half surge against the Packers. 14-2. Last time the Vikings won more than 14 games was that other worldly 1998 season that ended with playoff heartbreak Now you’re heading to Detroit to face the Lions in the season finale for not just the division but the NFC-1. The Lions are annoyed with you on how you just keep winning so they can’t rest their players. Have you seen their injury report?! Well, since their best players are sidelined, this is your chance. Charge into the Lions’ den and let them know that this will be age of Vikings WEEK 18, SNF at DET The thing about the Lions is that Dan Campbell can literally take anyone - you, an internet shitposter, your grandmother - and turn them into a somewhat capable NFL player In a nationally televised game, the Vikings are slaughtered for all to see. Sam Darnold is seeing the ghosts of Vikings failures. Dan Campbell passes out kneecaps for his team to feast on. The Lions clinch the division and the NFC-1. As a warning to everyone in the conference who dares to enter Ford Field, heads are placed on pikes. Your consolation prize is the NFC-5, the top wild card spot. 14 wins and having to play against one of the two division champs that won 10 games. The shield says they’re considering changing the playoff format. And there is some basis for that (see 2020 with NFC East going into the tank) Regroup against the Rams and maybe you’ll see the Lions again in two weeks NFC WILD CARD, at LAR (in Phoenix) The shield correctly moves this game out of Los Angeles because of the devastation from wildfires in Southern California. Several sporting events have been rightly postponed as well In Phoenix, it’s nearly identical to what happened in Detroit. well… at least you scored a TD… Sam Darnold is sacked 9 times and is seeing ghosts of Vikings past you know the saying… Vikings gonna viking… (opens up the bleach)
The Vikings have lost 4 super bowls and 5 championship games, so umm still worried seeing as this is a championship game and we always find a way to lose to easy competition, hell, we let the Saints almost beat us when we were ahead by a full 17 points!
2024 [*ding*] You've parted ways with Kirk Cousins, just in time for him to regain his past mediocre form with the Falcons. But hey, at least you've got a shiny new rookie QB to play with! **CRUNCH!* "UNIT LOST!"* Well, shit. J.J. McCarthy is going to miss his entire rookie season after getting hurt in the preseason opener. Your new QB is... [horror sting] SAM DARNOLD! He of seeing ghosts among the wreckage of the Jets. And that's not the worst thing you'll experience this offseason. [music fades out] Your new fourth-round pick, Khyree Jackson, is taken from this world way, WAY too soon thanks to a reckless driver. A truly senseless loss of life. Rest in peace, man. You deserved so much better. [Khyree Jackson: August 11, 1999 - July 6, 2024] [screen fades to black] [music and visuals start back up] This is probably going to be a lost season. But hey, chin up, there's always next-- [Vikings beat Jets in Week 5 to start with a 5-0 record; music switches to "Watchman of the Gods" from Killer Instinct] OH. MY. GOD. With Khyree as your rallying cry, you defy all expectations and lay waste to almost everyone around you. You go 14-3 and finish 2nd in what will be remembered as one of the strongest regular season divisions in NFL history, falling one game short of the 15-2 Lions for the #1 seed in the NFC. Speaking of those Lions, you come out flat against them in Week 18 and get bumped down to the 5th seed. Sucks for you, but hey, you finish with a record that qualifies for a tie for 3rd in the NFL. You also sweep your annoying older brother in the Packers in the process. Your first opponent? An upstart Rams team that has some momentum, but only made the playoffs via tiebreaker. And they're not even getting to play in front of their home crowd thanks to wildfires in California forcing the NFL to move the game to Arizona for safety precautions. Sure, there's some warning signs that you've been punching way above your weight, and they were one of only two teams you lost against earlier in the season, but you'll be fine. You're not going to blow this... right? Wild Card Weekend: January 13, 2025 [*ding*] [music turns back to whimsical comedy music] You turn into a pumpkin at the worst possible time. Darnold reverts back to his Jets vintage and your offensive line allows 9 sacks against him, tying the all-time record for sacks allowed in a playoff game. What was an excellent season goes up in smoke as the Rams blow you out 27-9 and you become the first 14-win team to lose in the Wild Card round. Possibly the most embarrassing performance in a Wild Card Weekend full of them. At least you probably aren't going to pay Darnold next year?
The date is January 13th 2025, the Vikings just shat the bed in the Wild Card round after going 14-3. Starting quarterback Sam Darnold experienced another schizophrenic episode and saw ghosts as he was sacked 9 times. Eternal damnation in football hell.
The Vikings are interesting. Taking a look at their record as a whole, they are easily one of the most successful franchises in the NFL. 7th best win-loss percentage, 30 playoff appearances in sixty years, 20 division titles, and 4 Super Bowl appearances. They make the playoffs every other year on average; they win the division every third year. They have more playoff seasons than the Patriots, the Bears, the 49ers, the Broncos, the Chiefs, the Colts, the Raiders, Rams, Redskins, Chargers, and Eagles - despite being younger than all those franchises (some of them by decades). By no measure can the Vikings be considered a rock-bottom franchise on the level of the Browns or the Jets or the Lions. Those teams are just endless miseries. That's not the Vikings. No, the Vikings specialty brand of failure is one based on exquisitely-timed pain. They consistently are of the top teams in the league - which better positions them to rip your heart out at the mountaintop. They're the torturer who knows that the greatest cruelty is that of hope. They build you up, they raise your expectations, and then they lose it all in the worst possible and least expected way. The Vikings are that old thought experiment made real: Is it better to always be a contender but never win, or just to never compete at all? To always fail at the cruelest moment possible or to simply never expect to succeed? Which is worse: misery or hope?
2024: You go 14-3 led by a resurrected Sam Darnold and a stout defense! Sure you lose out on the division to an even stronger Lions team but you got this in the bag. Take care of the Rams in the Wild Card and your playoff redemption tour will begin. January 13, 2025: Like clockwork, Sam Darnold sees ghosts and reverts to his old Jets form. Sacked a playoff record nine times and thoroughly embarrassed by the Rams 27-9
It’s 2020: The Vikings have just pulled another last minute improbable victory against the Saints in the SuperDome. No one gave them a shot. No one. Has Kirk Cousins finally broken the choking in Primetime narrative? Has this wildly inconsistent team finally started clicking at the right time? The Vikings haven’t won a road playoff game since 2004. There’s a chance to beat the, at times, vulnerable 49ers. There’s even a chance to play the Packers in the NFC championship at Lambeau. I sense innumerable amounts of pain on the horizon. Hit me with that EverClear when the time is right.
The Vikings pull a close victory in the game vs 49rs. Only to lose 24-25 in the nfc championship by a sideline touchdown from tyreek hill of the Chiefs. Once again, the vikings have come up short.
*2023, Week 18* It wasn't enough to lose to the Lions when you needed to win, you do it again near the end of the season as the new NFC North overlords push you off a cliff into the waiting arms of elimination.
2023 Well, it’s believed that you are primed for regression and it shows early on with losing 4 of your first 5 that include allowing Brandon Staley to once again escape his own idiocy. The only win is against the Panthers which helps your division rival due to them holding the Panthers’ first round pick What’s this, a 3 game winning streak to get back to .500? What’s the catch? Kirk Cousins: (scream) UNIT LOST Achilles injury… welp time for the bleach Week 9-10 at ATL, NO: Behold our new messiah, the passtronaut Week 11-12 at DEN, CHI: He comes crashing back down to earth Week 14 at LV: We beat the Raiders, but it feels like a loss. A 3-0 game. The last NFL game with that score was MIA-PIT in 2007 and their excuse was it was played in mud. This game was played in a climate controlled dome. Lose final 4, get eliminated on the final Sunday of the season while get your asses kicked by the NFC North’s newest overlord, the Lions… wait (checks script)? The Lions are… good…? oh… another older brother to torment us… Bartender, more bleach!
My team just got roasted so hard. I love the Vikings but God dam do I just cringe at the thought that they've been around for over 50 years and been to 4 Superbowls and yet somehow don't have any rings.
@@tleoipl37After watching the whole thing I would argue that the Vikings biggest overlooked misfortune was the fact that Fran Tarkenton played for the Giants in 1969, 70, and 71. The defense was very good over 1973-76, when Tark was there, but not as otherworldly as 1969-71. In particular in 1970 if Tarkenton is there then I think they could’ve won it all especially given that they lost only 17-14 to San Francisco, and the opposing offenses after that would’ve been weaker.
2022: 13-4, what a great season! Kevin O’Connell is a good coach and Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, are having spectacular individual bounce back from a mediocre 2021. This FINALLY has to the year to do it! 2022 WildCard Round: In Typical Viking fashion, they got eliminated from the playoffs, losing to Daniel Jones and the New York Giants…. Can this team ever win?!?!?! My goodness, this team is cursed!!!!!
2024 Wild Card: The Rams defense transforms into ghosts, terrifying Darnold back in Jets form. The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh, Vikings? BARTENDER!!!!
2024 Regular Season: "Your 14-2. You are playing for the #1 seed. You have Sam Darnold playing way over his head. Time is now, Boys! Get it done!" 2024 Playoffs: "You get ass blasted by the Lions to drop to the #5 seed then get pantsed by the Rams 8 days later as Sam Darnold remembers he is ass. Another Scotch please!."
12/5/2021 You are facing the winless Detroit Lions. This organization has not won a game in about a year. Surely you can find a way to overcome THEM, right? 4th Quarter, 0:04 remaining You're in a position where if you stop this play, you win the game. Besides, it's Jared Goff at QB, just do SOMETHING! Throws game winning TD pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown I think you almost would have preferred losing on yet another game-clinching field goal.
When you are a lions fan none of this seems that bad we would die for a 50 year run like that. Literally only a handful of teams have more playoff and conference championship appearances during the last 50 or so years. Had they not made the walker trade they would have likely won multiple super bowls in the 90s.
Who’s here on January 13th, 2025? 2024 Season: Start off 14-2 before getting completely exposed in a winner take all game against the Lions THEN get blown out by the Rams the next week in the wild card round. That’s what happens when Sam Darnold finally remembers he’s Sam Darnold.
I wasn't alive for Gary Anderson but I remember crying so hard at the age of 9 when I saw the saints go to the super bowl. I was also THERE to see Blair Walsh miss the kick of his life. Ahh such game memories you would wonder why I even watch them. Maybe because I was born and raised in Minnesota and will be a Vikings fan no matter what the future has in miserable store for them.
Status update McCarthy tears meniscus Addison has been carted off the field Hockenson is out for several months with a ACL injury Johnson dies in a car accident Blackmon left practice with injury Back up WR is also injured. They are stuck with Sam Darnold as QB1 for the season, and hopefully Jetta doesn’t want to leave after this season. And it’s not even the regular season yet!!
2024 - Wow. You’re 14-3 and one of the biggest surprises in the league with a revival of Sam Darnold of all players Week 18- Well that was unfortunate. Now you have to play on the road in the playoffs. Who are you against the Rams? This should be an easy playoff win. 2024 Wild Card Game - You get blown out by the revived Rams 27-9 and you’re one and done in the playoffs once again. Vikings gonna Viking.
The Vikings are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Let's see what happened this time 2020: Your defense lost so many pieces and turned into total refuse. You wasted an all-world year from Dalvin Cook and a strong rookie year from Justin Jefferson. Your kicker missed 4 field goals in a 12 point loss. You traded a 2nd round pick for Yannick Ngokue only to trade him for a 3rd round pick to the Ravens after only 6 games. You started 1-5, cockteased your fans by rallying to get to 6-6 and then lost the next 3 games to get eliminated. Who eliminated you? The Saints, who you were able to lord over eliminating them 2x in the playoffs the last 3 years. At least you beat the Packers in Lambeau though. Tree may have seen multiple LoF vidoes become irrelevant quickly, but at least this video doesn't look like it will become irrelevant any time soon
2017: Holy shit. You go 13-3 and cruise into the playoffs. Journeyman QB Case Keenum comes out of nowhere to have the season of his life. You also boast one of the strongest defenses in the NFL. You are the team to beat in the NFC. There's no way you can fuck this up. This is your year. 2017 NFC Divisional: Coming off your first round bye, your opponent is a familiar foe: the New Orleans Saints. You start fast and lead 17-0 at halftime, but the offense stalls and that vaunted defense of yours forgets how to play and proceeds to choke the game away. Wil Lutz kicks the dagger field goal to put New Orleans in front 24-23 with little time remaining. Better luck next year boys. Final play, 2017 NFC Divisional: But wait! You pull of a miracle victory with no time left! You got your revenge for 2009! Sure, that was mostly because Marcus Williams forgot how to tackle at the worst possible moment, but you are a team of destiny. You're gonna go to the Super Bowl and win it in front of your own fans. All you have to do to make it to the Super Bowl is beat the vulnerable Philadelphia Eagles, who have to win with backup QB Nick Foles. Eh, they have no chance against you. Foles has been shaky and the only reason those Eagles are even here is because the Atlanta Falcons falconed again. You're not the Falcons, though. You'll show Philly who's boss. 2017 NFC Championship: You get completely and utterly embarrassed by the Eagles. Your offense checks out after the first drive and your defense? The one that was great all season long? They make Nick Foles look like Tom fucking Brady. The Eagles then proceed to win what should have been yours in your home stadium two weeks later. 2018 offseason: You move on from Case Keenum, but you get a nice upgrade at QB in Kirk Cousins. Losing Jerick McKinnon sucks, but you'll make it back to the playoffs. You have enough talent to do so. 2018 Week 5: And you return the favor against those goddamn defending champion Eagles by shutting down their offense for most of the game. 2018 Week 17: You are 8-6-1 and you look nowhere near as good as you did last year. You have been rather inconsistent all season long. But it's OK. Just beat the upstart Chicago Bears at home, and you'll be back in the playoffs, where you can finally finish your unfinished business. The Bears then proceed to teabag you all game long. A certain NFC team wins that same day and knocks you out of the playoffs in the process. That team is...you guessed it...THE FUCKING EAGLES! Seriously how do you shit the bed that badly? 2019: You rebound and make it back to the playoffs with a respectable 10-6 record. You have to go to New Orleans to face those hated Saints in the Wild Card Round. You may have knocked them out of Super Bowl contention two seasons ago, but they landed a nice counterpunch on you in Week 8 of the 2018 season. Time for you to win the grudge match. 2019 Wild Card: Wow, you're holding strong against one of the most potent offensive attacks in the league. You lead by 10 points in the 4th quarter as you...piss that away. And here comes the perennial disappointment. Overtime, 2019 Wild Card: You win the coin toss and drive down the field to score a game-winning touchdown, knocking out those godless Saints. Very impressive. You beat a very strong team in their house. Maybe this is the start of a special playoff run. 2019 NFC Divisional: Wait never mind, you get your fans' hopes up only to let them down again. The San Francisco 49ers put you into a sleeper hold and knock you out. 2020 offseason: Remember that outstanding Stefon Diggs guy who helped lead you to that miracle playoff win against New Orleans? You waste his talent and trade him the the Buffalo Bills. 2020 NFL Draft: At least you fill the void with a more talented receiver in Justin Jefferson. You can thank the Eagles for not picking him up when they had the chance. 2020: You get off to a horrid 1-5 start to the season and never recover. Key defensive pieces Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks suffer injuries and your defense falls off a cliff. Justin Jefferson may be outstanding, but Kirk Cousins regresses from 2019. Even without fans in the stands due to COVID, you still manage to punch them in the dick. 2021: OK, you've got Barr and Kendricks back, you've got the pieces to make a deep playoff run. And you suffer painful loss after painful loss and miss the playoffs at 8-9. I mean, just how many ways can you guys lose? Missing yet another chip shot field goal to lose to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2? Losing to a Dallas Cowboys team without Dak Prescott in Week 8? Losing to a winless Detroit Lions team in Week 13 because your defense went full Vikings on the Lions' final drive? You guys really are pathetic. You deserve to be sitting on your asses in January. 2022 offseason: You finally give Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman the axe after years of woeful underachieving. You hire an inexperienced head coach in Kevin O'Connell, fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Los Angeles Rams. 2022: Wow! You clinch the NFC North against the Indianapolis Colts with the largest comeback in NFL history! I gotta tip my hat to you for that. Sure the point differential isn’t impressive and you’ve barely gotten by in several games, but you are the cardiac kids. This is your time. Now bring that Lombardi to the twin cities! 2022 Wild Card Round: And you lose your first one-score game of the season in the playoffs against a resurgent but injury-riddled New York Giants squad. A par for the course one-and-done for this franchise. Ed Donatell can be chucked to the wolves for his failures. 2023 Week 5: Regression strikes you hard, as through five games, you have already lost as many games as you did all of last season. All of the losses have been by one score. Everyone that called you fraudulent last season feels vindicated. (cue Madden bone cracks sound) And you lose Justin Jefferson for an extended period of time. God you guys are fucked. 2023 Week 8: Wait a minute, you pulled off three straight wins to revive your season? Without Justin Jefferson? One of them coming against white hot San Francisco? Damn. I'm impressed. You might have playoffs in your future if you keep playing like this (cue bone cracks) and you lost Kirk Cousins for the season. You may have traded for a nice rental in Josh Dobbs to fill his void, but this is a tough blow to take. You guys really are cursed, aren't you? 2023: Dobbs reaches meme status and he guides you to another two wins, but then his magic unfortunately runs out. But hey, you’re 7-6 and in position to make the playoffs in a weak NFC. You even have Justin Jefferson back to torch opposing secondaries! And then you bow out by losing your final four games of the season. Why am I not shocked by this? March 11, 2024: You can finally say goodbye to your hated quarterback, as he departs for a massive bag and another hell in Atlanta. You fill the void with Sam Darnold. I swear if he’s starting for you this season…
I'd.......love to see what he would have to say if they added in this season to the video. 38-7 lose to the Eagles in the NFC Championship after finally having a miracle go in their favor the previous game.
This video ages like wine. Every year it becomes more accurate
At this rate they’re a lolcow and not a legacy of failure
Agreed
@@kyledorsty906legacies of failure are considered worse on here than lolcows
@@kyledorsty906Exactly, losing 4 Superbowls within a whole decade along with having spectacular NFL seasons just to lose in hilarious fashion during January football is the most typical thing the Vikings can do after all
The fact that people labeled this team as Superbowl contenders knowing they have a history of collapsing as soon as the playoffs rolls around is crazy 🤣
Almost six years later and this video is still relevant.
Needs to make an addendum…I wonder how many years of failure until he makes a part 2
Going one and done after a 13-win season? Par for the course for this franchise.
Grab your liquor of choice. (Did he assume that every fan drinks alcohol? LOL)
@@thekingbarrelmaker7642most Vikings fans expected to beat the Giants, that being said I don’t think there’s one fan that expected to beat the Cowboys and Eagles, maybe the 49ers.
I just got to this now and it's funny how this vid starts with them being heavily down to the Colts.
“4 Super Bowl losses in 10 years that’s gotta hurt”
The Bills: Allow us to introduce ourselves
BAAHAHAHAHAHA
Oof
This comment makes me sad and depressed and mad that we couldn't win the Superbowl when we made it four times in a row
Hahahhahh
Noah Dow The sadness deepens when really, the Bills were in it against the Giants, the rest were goddamn awful to see.
2017: You rebound with a 13-3 record and your defense harkens back to the PPE days of the 70s. You somehow pull a rabbit out of your butt in the Divisional against New Orleans. Full speed ahead.
2017 NFCCG: You get steamrolled in Philadelphia at the hands of a backup QB. At least there's next year?
2018 Offseason: Kirk Cousins is your new QB. Please win against good teams.
2018 1st Half: You're back in the playoff picture with a 5-3-1 start to the season. Keep it up.
2018 2nd Half: The oasis turns out to be a mirage as you win only 3 more games that season.
2019: You have another decent season at 10-6 and Dalvin Cook has turned into one of the best RBs in the league. You actually won a playoff game in the Superdome as well. Let's go.
2019 Divisional: And you get completely run over in Santa Clara. Oh look, your offensive coordinator left to take the Cleveland job and has had some success there.
2020 Draft: Stefon Diggs is gone, but here's this LSU WR named Justin Jefferson. Let's draft him.
2020: Jefferson turns into the Rookie Of The Year, but you blow way too many important games down the stretch to finish 7-9.
2021 Weeks 1-12: Despite blowing a lot of games this year, you are still in contention for a Wild Card Spot. Fingers crossed.
2021 Week 13: YOU LOST TO THE WINLESS LIONS? There's not enough liquor in the world for the pain.
February 2022: Mike Zimmer is finally axed after a dismal 8-9 season. You decide to chase trends and hire Kevin O’Connell as your new head coach.
November 2022: You’re 8-1 with one of the best offenses and defenses in football, arguably the best WR in the game and are coming off a miracle in Buffalo. Full speed ahead.
January 2023: Boom. You’re Super Bowl contenders with a 13-4 season. And you get your hearts broken by the Giants again. That team hadn’t won a playoff game in over a decade. Back to the bar.
My Lions should've beat them twice this year. We the only team that makes Kirk look like Dan Marino 🤨🥺🤦🏽
And the GM change too
this is great
This comment is great! Please keep updating this
Follow that up with signing free agent ZaDarius Smith from the Packers and watch him underachieve (future)
“You get curb-stomped by the 49ers in a playoff game... again”. It’s like I just saw it happen again not very long ago, perplexing.
Old habits die hard.
At least we beat the saints 😂 😂
@@kingduckcat7569 can't really say that when you get called into the owners office tho
It's ok we choked in the superbowl again
@@jessepusatero5511 By God it's like we never learn...
2022: 13-4 miraculous wins in the final seconds of games, Justin Jefferson pulling off miraculous catches, down 33 points to the Colts to come back and win in overtime. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, THIS HAS TO BE THE YEAR!!!!!
One and done to Daniel Jones and the New York Football Giants.

I visit this video every time the Vikings disappoint me, so that’s about every week
Welcome brother. Let us mourn about this franchise😔
If they didn’t disappoint us we wouldn’t know how to feel.
No wonder this video has 1.5 million views.
Even in the off-season?
Welcome back! How was yesterday for ya?
Updated
2024
‘You go 14-3 and are a monster in the NFC while at the same time reviving Sam Darold’s career. You fought hard to disprove the naysayers when all looked bleak. Sure, you lost to the lions for the number one seed, but you can still prove you’re a force to be reckoned with. Get it done boys!’
Wildcard
Sam Darnold see’s so many ghosts that you think he’s trapped in the haunted mansion and you get tea bagged by the Rams
2018
You lose all 3 of your quarterbacks from last season to free agency but you quickly fill the hole by signing Kirk Cousins to an 84 million dollar contract. Its time to shake off that brutal loss to the Eagles last year and finally get back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 42 years.
2018 Regular Season
You get revenge on those damn Eagles early in the season but your team is mediocre at 8-6-1. But you still have a chance at the playoffs. All you have to do is beat the surprising Bears at home and you will be fine.
Week 17
Nope. You completely shit the bed losing to the Bears 24-10 and to add insult to injury, those damn Eagles get the last laugh and take the 6 seed. No Playoffs for you. Just keep the shots coming until I pass out.
For real tho.
Hahaha! "Those damn Eagles get the last laugh" That's too funny XD
Meanwhile Teddy Bridgewater is groomed to be the heir to Brees
"Only a brick wall can stop you, it's name is the Eagles." 2 years in a row.
Whatever at least they lost
The Vikings have had more talent over the past 50 years than many franchises that have won the Super Bowl. You could make the argument that Minnesota is the most underachieving sports franchise in the modern era.
Minnesota Vikings: Professional Football's Bart Simpson
A win in one of those 70s Super bowls could have eased the suffering!🙁
Dallas Cowboys.
*This fucking team will go 6-10 in 2018 despite having talent on both sides of the ball and that has been a common theme since 2007*
More honorable mentions include the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles
@@patrick-xu1go Dallas had a dynasty and the eagles won the superbowl..
Jeremy TerWisscha I’m talking about mediocre to downright bad teams that are wasting the talent on their rosters. None of these teams are making the playoffs
R.I.P Bud Grant the most underrated coach in NFL history
Today is the six year anniversary of the publication of this video. A lot has changed since then:
The Chiefs have appeared in and won multiple Super Bowls.
The Patriots are mortal.
The Bills are no longer the walking mediocrity of football.
The Bengals shattered their playoff curse and are actually competent.
But the Vikings continue to be the Vikings.
And the Falcons are still the Falcons.
And the Lions won their first division title in 30 years, won their first playoff game in 32 years, win multiple playoff games since 1957 and appear in their second NFC Championship game for the second time in the postmerger era
And now the Vikings appear to be on the up, but it's early
@@splashnskillz37 Key word being APPEAR to be on he up. Now it's "appeared" in ligh of hier blowout loss to he Rams in he wild card round.
And Sam Darnold saw ghosts and got curb-stomped by the Rams in the Wild-Card round.
This video is still relevant to this day. Also, R.I.P., Bud Grant.
2017: Holy crap. You go 13-3 and easily qualify for the playoffs. Case Keenum, a journeyman quarterback, had the season of his life. You also have one of the NFL's best defenses. You are the NFC's team to beat. You're not going to mess this up. It's your year.
2017 NFC Divisional: After a first-round bye, you face a familiar adversary in the New Orleans Saints. You start fast and lead 17-0 at halftime, but your offense slows, and your lauded defense forgets how to play and chokes the game away. Wil Lutz scores the game-winning field goal with less than a minute remaining to put New Orleans up 24-23. Looks like this season's done...
The final play of the 2017 NFC Divisional: BUT WAIT! STEFON DIGGS PULLS OFF A MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE! WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?! With that win, you have a real chance at the Super Bowl, which is in your new home stadium this year.
2017 NFC Championship: All I can say is... "Only a brick wall can stop you. Its name is the Eagles." And two weeks later, THEY won the Super Bowl in that stadium that I mentioned earlier.
2018 offseason: You let Case Keenum go, but you receive a good improvement at quarterback in Kirk Cousins. Losing Jerick McKinnon hurts, but you'll make the playoffs again. You can do so.
2018 Week 5: You exact your vengeance on the reigning champion Eagles by shutting down their offense for most of the game.
2018 Week 17: You're 8-6-1, but a win over the Bears, of all teams, would put you back in the playoffs. Then you succumb to them. And the Eagles also win their game, thereby eliminating you from the playoffs. Where's the liquor when I need it?
2019: You bounce back and make the playoffs with a solid 10-6 record. In the Wild Card Round, your opponent is... the New Orleans Saints. The same team you defeated back in 2017 in the NFC Divisional, but they countered in Week 8 back in 2018. It's time for you to settle the score.
2019 Wild Card: Wow, you're holding strong against one of the league's most lethal offensive attacks. You have a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. And now comes the annual letdown.
Overtime, 2019 Wild Card: Never mind! You win the coin toss and drive down the field for the game-winning touchdown, defeating the godless Saints. Quite amazing. Maybe THIS could be the season.
2019 NFC Divisional: Until you get stopped by the 49ers. Next year, there will always be.
2020 offseason: Stefon Diggs gets traded to the Buffalo Bills.
2020 NFL Draft: Here's Justin Jefferson from LSU as the new WR. Don't waste his talent.
2020: You start 1-5 and it's all downhill from there. Your defense falls off a cliff due to many injuries.
2021: Barr and Kendricks are back, so MAYBE you have a chance to go far... I take that back. You suffer painful loss after painful loss and miss the playoffs at 8-9. These painful losses include missing yet another chip-shot field goal to lose to the Cardinals in Week 2, losing to a Cowboys team without Dak Prescott in Week 8, AND losing to the Lions who haven't won a game since 2020 in Week 13. WHAT. IS. WRONG.
2022 offseason: You finally give Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman the axe after years of woeful underachieving. You hire an inexperienced head coach in Kevin O'Connell, fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Los Angeles Rams. This may not end well...
2022: Oh, never mind... you're 13-4, and you managed to complete the biggest comeback in NFL history against Matt Ryan and the Colts. Down 33-0, you rally back and tie the game at 36 to send the game into overtime, where Greg Joseph leads you to victory 39-36 to clinch the NFC North, and make it to the playoffs again. THIS HAS TO BE THE SEASON.
2023 NFC Wild Card Round: Daniel Jones says NO. You get murdered by a Giants team with a lot of injuries. TO THE LIQUOR VAULT!
Justin Jefferson didn't win OROTY that season. The OTHER rookie named Justin did (Justin Herbert).
2017-2018 and then watch the Eagles win the Super Bowl in your own building
2023-2024 Season: Begin the first 5 weeks by going 1-4 and both Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins clash with ownership. (Ding)
You regain consciousness and are back to .500 and (Screams) (Kirk Cousins tears his right Achilles tendon) You can never have anything good can you?
(Ding)
Behold the the brand new Quarterback Carousel of Jaren Hall Nick Mullins & Josh Dobbs (Screams)
(Ding)
The Mirage of winning is slammed shut as Josh Dobbs is only used as Astronaut propaganda in a Vikings Cold War stalemate.
(Ding)
Lose the next 4-5 games and miss the playoffs at 7-10.
(2024 Free Agency)
Kirk Cousins, Danielle Hunter, Marcus Davenport, and Jordan Hicks are now gone but you went and picked up Jonathan Greenard for $76 Million? Good luck with that. And wait a god damn minute you signed Sam Bradford 2.0 retrieve in Sam Darnold?

Boom. You guys are Super Bowl contenders again and it could not have happened at a better time. You go 13-3, and the Super Bowl is in your own stadium this year and you field a defense that is a reincarnation of the vicious Purple People Eaters of the 70s teams along with an ascending QB in Case Keenum and a strong running game.

Great comparison
Both also choke in the playoffs

14-3, and you can’t even get out of the first round. The lights were too bright for Sam Darnold, their easy schedule really was the reason for their record. The sporting Gods led LA to win due to tragedy back home, and Vikings must suffer as a result. Minnesota and Minneapolis remain the most miserable state/city in all of North American sports.

How the Vikings are going to screw up this time?
2018: "You got the hottest QB of the free agency in Kirk Cousins. Sure, he may not be clutch but he was with the Washington Redskins. He's as competent as Case Keenum and has great stats. With Thielen and Diggs, you'll at least make the playoffs."

Time to add another notch!
2024: The Vikings have a surprising 14-win season with a revived Sam Darnold at QB. You can clinch the NFC North and a 1st round bye by beating the Lions on the road!
2024 Week 18: You got absolutely shitstomped by Jahmyr Gibbs. Now you have to play on the road in the Wild Card round!
2024 Wild Card Round: You get gored again by the Rams! “YOU BLEW IT, BOY! YOU REALLY BLEW IT!”
I mean seriously, Sam Darnold went back to seeing Ghosts, Sam Darnold you are a New York Giant
Nearly 8 years have marched on since the creation of this video. Let us look back on what the Vikings have accomplished since then:
2017: AP Retires from the Vikings, but you make it to the playoffs at 13-3 and Case Keenum so far is a beast! It will not save you from being t-bagged 38-7 by the Eagles in the NFC Championship.
2018: This Kirk Cousins seems to be a nice strapping option. You unfortunately miss the playoffs at 8-7-1.
2019: Cousins is a pretty decent QB, and you make a 10-6 record! Only to be outmatched by the 49ers in the divisional round. As consolation, your team has won their 500th game as a franchise after beating the Raiders earlier in the season. Maybe you can look up to something good.
2020: I spoke prematurely as Cousins regresses and becomes team cancer. The playoff gates get slammed shut in front of your 7-9 season.
2021: Make that two years in a row at 8-9! That's probably karma for Cousins yelling about how great he is after nearly losing to a Lions team of shambling filth.
2022: You make the playoffs at 13-4, but something is definitely off about how you made more than ten of them tighter than one score games. The Giants are schmucks and you still got close call -garbage time- Kirk to bail you out.
2022 NFC Wild Card 4th quarter: It comes down to this. Make this first down and- why are you throwing a checkdown Kirk *NO KIRK STOP! YOU'RE LITERALLY THROWING THE GAME!* *_The checkdown is complete_* _I tried to warn him, and now it's going to hang over his head until he owes up to his idiocy!_
2023: Kirk Cancer blew out his Achilles Tendon and fresh air graces Minnesota at last! Joshua Dobbs gets to replace him too. Things are still shaky, but if you can beat the Lions you might just sneak into the playoffs!
2023 Season game 17: You are beaten out by a well-oiled Lions machine and are eliminated from the playoffs. It's gotta be the curse of Kirk yelling about beating Detroit two years ago like it was the fate of the universe, wasn't it.
2024 offseason: You need a sleeper card of a Quarterback to push you back to relevance! And his name is... Sam Darnold?!
2024 Season: Darnold is actually doing good? And you go 15-2 too?! I was saving tickets for the Love Boat! Let's let this one play out then.
2024 wild card: McDarnold's folds to the Rams. What else would we expect? I can at least savor some Fireball.
2024 offseason: Well, you lost Kirk Cousin to the Falcon, and now you have Sam Darnold, who might still be seeing ghosts. It’s not all bad news you got Aaron Jones to make those damn Packers cry in the streets.
2017:
Alright, you have one of the top rank defenses and Marcus Williams shit himself in a crucial play for you to advance to the NFC Championship...only for you to get absolutely manhandled by a Carson Wentz-less team led by NICK FUCKING FOLES...Vikings gonna Viking...

Update: Blair Walsh still cannot kick to save his life.
Update: After having a mediocre season with the Seahawks, he gets the walking papers. With half way through free agency he gets a workout with Miami, he has not had any contact with the Dolphins since. He is now a free agent.
Walsh tried falling into bed. He went wide left
I believe he set the record in his rookie year by going 8 for 8 in field goals over 50 yards. But then he missed like a 30 yard field goal against the Seahawks in the playoff and it went downhill. after that.
He does have a pretty cool name tho. The worst QB in the league is a guy named Nathan Peterman. Most generic name I’ve ever seen in the NFL
cris carter Honestly the guy was a god of a kicker until that playoff miss. Since then it’s been nothing but suffering
Update
2017: oh, you used necromancy to revive the dead and completely irrelevant carreer of case keenum for a 13-3 season

2017 Off-season: you lose all 3 of you're starting qb's but you paid kirk cousins $84 million
2018 season: You get revenge on the eagles early in the season but you sit at 8-6-1 heading into week 17, as Long as you beat the suprisingly good bears you'll be in the playoffs.your offensive line is straight trash and you miss the playoffs with an 8-7-1 record as you couldn't even beat Mitch fucking Trubusky as the same eagles that crushed you got the #6 seed thanks to your loss.
2019: you have a bounce back season at 10-6 , but you play the 13-3 saints in the wild card round
2019 wild card: oh you beat the saints that you miracled in Minneapolis and they have the same record as the #1 and # 2 seed so if you can beat them you can probably make it to the superbowl

2022: Dont forget signing free agent Zadarius Smith with a declining body.
I was rewatching older videos, wondering when a new video was coming, and here it is
2024 Season
Go 14-2 behind the resurgence of Sam Darnold. Any other year, the division and the best record would be yours. There's just one snag. One of your division rivals kept pace with you all season. No, it's not Green Bay for once. The Detroit Lions finally climbed out of the basement and are now legit contenders (or not). You got a week 18 match-up with them for the division and the best record. You got this, right Vikings?
Week 18
You not only lose to the Lions. You get completely wrecked, Sam Darnold reverts back to ghost form, and you're off to L.A. to play the Rams as a 14-3 Wildcard Team.
Make that Glendale Arizona to play the Rams as a 14-3 Wildcard Team.
2025 Wildcard
Turn into a paper Viking against the Rams. Matthew Stafford burns your defense, and the Rams defense feasts on Sam Darnold. Another notch to your legacy of failure added. Great job Vikings now your whole fan base is seeing ghosts. Oh, and Vikings gonna Viking.
2021: Here’s another underachieving 8-9 season and missed the playoffs again, GM Rick Spielman and long time head coach Mike Zimmer is finally axed after 8 seasons, he’s a great coach for the Vikings, too bad they didn’t do anything in his tenure.
Jim Harbaugh looks like a good coaching Candidate. Never mind, he's too much of a cocky asshole and sent in back to Ann Arbor. Just hope this Kevin O'Connell is any good.
2020 Update:
*2017*
You guys completely bounce back and go 13-3 getting the #2 seed. Your dominant defense marks the return of the Purple People Eaters and your Offense has one of the best receiver duos, a strong run game and Quarterback Case Keenum finally having a breakout year.
*2017 Divisional Game*
You are up 17-0 at halftime, you have a chance to close it out... and you let the Saints come back. But it's okay! You wipe it off and get a good drive for a field goal with well under 2 minutes left to take a 23-21 lead. Doesn't matter though because you let the Saints drive downfield and get a field goal with 25 seconds left, get my beer!
*2017 Divisional Game Final Play*
Wait a minute... what just happened? Did you guys actually create a miracle? You got a touchdown at the last play of the game to finally go back to the NFC Championship. On top of that, you're playing a team down to their backup quarterback. You have a pretty solid chance to go to the Super Bowl which is in your home stadium.
*2017 NFC Championship*
Turns out you had nothing left in the tank and you get completely run over by an Eagles team led by Nick Foles.
*2018 Offseason*
It turns out this Case Keenum guy just isn't good enough. We need an upgrade! How about Kirk Cousins. He's coming off a great season with the Redskins, he's worth 84 Million for 4 years. He's the last piece you need to win the Super Bowl!
*2018 Week 17*
Kirk Cousins completely underperforms, star running back Dalvin Cook is injured, your Offensive Line sucks and you guys are 8-6-1. It's okay though! You're home for week 17 and the Bears will probably rest their starters considering the Rams are almost definitely going to beat the 49ers to lock up the 2 seed. It turns out the Bears don't even pay attention to that game and play all out, completely malling you. You fall to 8-7-1 and with the Eagles destroying the Redskins, they make the playoffs instead. How is that 84 Million you gave to Kirk Cousins looking now. Good luck with him for 3 more years. I'm gonna need a boatload of beer throughout that amount of time. Bartender!
*2019 Offseason*
You have invested your draft into improving your Offensive Line, led by drafting Garret Bradbury in the first round. However you do absolutely nothing about the Quarterback situation and completely trust Kirk Cousins.
*2019*
You have a bounce back season and go 10-6 getting the 6 seed. Here you are again playing the Saints as full blown underdogs likely to get destroyed.
*2019 Wild Card Game*
Kirk Cousins and company play fantastic and pull off an upset winning in Overtime! Keep in mind the Saints had the same record as the 1 and 2 seed in the NFC, so if you can beat them you can definitely go to the Super Bowl.
*2019 Divisional Game*
You really know how to generate false hope and then bring back memories to the old days as you guys get curb-stomped by the 49ers in a playoff game. You did absolutely nothing with Dalvin Cook while they ran all over you with some guy called Raheem Mostert. You didn't even have to defend the pass because of how dominant Mostert was. Because of how poor Cook was, you have no choice but to pass, go and throw the ball right at Richard Sherman. Vikings gonna Viking.
You should add this:
*Super Bowl 52*
Those Eagles that curbstomped you then proceed to take down the Evil Empire known as the Patriots and end their legacy of failure by winning their first Super Bowl...in your home stadium.
And one of the players that made a key play by recovering Brady's fumble late in the game? Derek Barnett, a rookie the Eagles drafted in the first round...with the pick you traded them to get Sam Bradford.
That trade really worked out well for you, huh?
@@JusticeForPottsvilleMaroons LOL I didn't even know that was the pick they traded. Why the hell did they trade a first round pick for and injury-loaded QB anyways?
FSE if you’re a Jets fan, I feel like you have more than a boatload of beer. Like even the Irish would almost tell you to calm down, then again, at least you’ve won a super bowl
Why do I hear UT narrating this!? UT GET ON THIS!

This was a combination of the Eagles playing very well and the Vikings playing like shit.
Foles Made One Too Many Puns
Just got this in my recommended. Man did this video age like fine wine considering the Vikings season this year
Yeah I agree. Knowing the Vikings next season they will go 15-2 (making them the first team in NFL history to win 15 games in a season twice), have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and lose there first game of the playoffs to the Lions.
2024 offseason: This is a catastrophe
Big Kirko is gone
Khyree Jackson died before walking on the gridiron
and that young quarterback you drafted in the first round tore his meniscus and now have to depend on... Sam Darnold... Vikings you have ghosts in your sights. At least Jefferson didn't hold out
Season: the ghosts are apparently what remain of your opponents after killing them, Darnold has turned into a sudden dynamo, Jefferson has played up to standard, Aaron Jones is steamrolling defensive lines, and the defense uses blitzing as a first language. An uncalled facemask and last second field goal are the only reasons you dont have a perfect record, and the top seed is still in play! You just have to beat a Lions team with a papershredded defense in Detroit and the NFC runs through you, now get it done.
Week 18: Jahmyr Gibbs uses the master emerald and goes Super Sonic on you for four quarters, you have all of that firepower on offense against a defense reduced to bone marrow, and you don't even score a touchdown? Now you have to settle as a wild card team at a neutral site against the Rams since LA turned into the seventh circle rather than enjoy these playoffs from the comfort of your own territory. Fix this! FIX THIS NOW!
Wild Card: "I'm seein' ghosts."
2024
OFF-SEASON
So, the Vikings are looking to rebound from a 7-win season. Kinda remarkable they won that many games after Cousins tore his Achilles but at the same time, they dug themselves into a 0-3 hole at the start of the season.
FREE AGENCY
The Falcons gave Cousins a bag. Hey, I can’t be too mad about that. Get your money and good luck. We’ll miss you Kirko Chainz.
They make older brother in Wisconsin cry by signing Aaron Jones and reuniting Stephon Gilmore and Andrew Van Ginkle with Brian Flores
DRAFT
They trade up to go get JJ McCarthy. Won a National Championship at Michigan. Perhaps that success can transition to the Vikings
PRE-SEASON
So I’m not really not expecting the Vikings to do much this season. It’s going to be tough to break through with Green Bay discovering that they have something with Jordan Love and your other big brother in Detroit finally getting his act together. McCarthy is showing some promise in these preseason games. Just stay out of the basement and you’ll be fine-
JJ McCarthy: SCREAMS
And McCarthy tore his meniscus in his right knee! just great…
so… who will be starting in his place?
SAM DARNOLD?!
(proceeds to grab a chloroform soaked rag) welp, season is a wash, see you in 2025
REGULAR SEASON, WEEKS 1-6
the vikings are 5-0? This must be a hallucination? (checks script) oh, they are! And Sam Darnold got revenge on the Aaron Rodgers Jets in London.
WEEKS 7-8, vs DET & at LAR
A close home loss to the Lions and the NFL did us no favors with sending us on the road to play the Rams on a very short week.
You know, if you had us at 5-2 at this part of the season and with Sam Darnold as our QB, I wouldn’t believe it
WEEK 17
The Vikings rattle off 9 straight wins that include a win over the Falcons that saw Cousins implode by throwing 3 interceptions in the 2nd half, a huge win at Seattle, and yet again surviving a second half surge against the Packers. 14-2. Last time the Vikings won more than 14 games was that other worldly 1998 season that ended with playoff heartbreak
Now you’re heading to Detroit to face the Lions in the season finale for not just the division but the NFC-1. The Lions are annoyed with you on how you just keep winning so they can’t rest their players. Have you seen their injury report?!
Well, since their best players are sidelined, this is your chance. Charge into the Lions’ den and let them know that this will be age of Vikings
WEEK 18, SNF at DET
The thing about the Lions is that Dan Campbell can literally take anyone - you, an internet shitposter, your grandmother - and turn them into a somewhat capable NFL player
In a nationally televised game, the Vikings are slaughtered for all to see. Sam Darnold is seeing the ghosts of Vikings failures. Dan Campbell passes out kneecaps for his team to feast on. The Lions clinch the division and the NFC-1. As a warning to everyone in the conference who dares to enter Ford Field, heads are placed on pikes.
Your consolation prize is the NFC-5, the top wild card spot. 14 wins and having to play against one of the two division champs that won 10 games. The shield says they’re considering changing the playoff format. And there is some basis for that (see 2020 with NFC East going into the tank)
Regroup against the Rams and maybe you’ll see the Lions again in two weeks
NFC WILD CARD, at LAR (in Phoenix)
The shield correctly moves this game out of Los Angeles because of the devastation from wildfires in Southern California. Several sporting events have been rightly postponed as well
In Phoenix, it’s nearly identical to what happened in Detroit.
well… at least you scored a TD…
Sam Darnold is sacked 9 times and is seeing ghosts of Vikings past
you know the saying…
Vikings gonna viking… (opens up the bleach)
As a Vikings fan, everything you say is true.
X 100
Not For Long I hope you're happy now.... #SKOL
Until this season
The Vikings have lost 4 super bowls and 5 championship games, so umm still worried seeing as this is a championship game and we always find a way to lose to easy competition, hell, we let the Saints almost beat us when we were ahead by a full 17 points!
NickDaMinnesotaSportGuy 6 now...
0:12 That’s Jim Marshall, not Fran Tarkenton…
2024 [*ding*]
You've parted ways with Kirk Cousins, just in time for him to regain his past mediocre form with the Falcons. But hey, at least you've got a shiny new rookie QB to play with!
**CRUNCH!* "UNIT LOST!"*
Well, shit. J.J. McCarthy is going to miss his entire rookie season after getting hurt in the preseason opener. Your new QB is... [horror sting] SAM DARNOLD! He of seeing ghosts among the wreckage of the Jets. And that's not the worst thing you'll experience this offseason. [music fades out] Your new fourth-round pick, Khyree Jackson, is taken from this world way, WAY too soon thanks to a reckless driver. A truly senseless loss of life. Rest in peace, man. You deserved so much better. [Khyree Jackson: August 11, 1999 - July 6, 2024] [screen fades to black]
[music and visuals start back up] This is probably going to be a lost season. But hey, chin up, there's always next-- [Vikings beat Jets in Week 5 to start with a 5-0 record; music switches to "Watchman of the Gods" from Killer Instinct] OH. MY. GOD. With Khyree as your rallying cry, you defy all expectations and lay waste to almost everyone around you. You go 14-3 and finish 2nd in what will be remembered as one of the strongest regular season divisions in NFL history, falling one game short of the 15-2 Lions for the #1 seed in the NFC. Speaking of those Lions, you come out flat against them in Week 18 and get bumped down to the 5th seed. Sucks for you, but hey, you finish with a record that qualifies for a tie for 3rd in the NFL. You also sweep your annoying older brother in the Packers in the process.
Your first opponent? An upstart Rams team that has some momentum, but only made the playoffs via tiebreaker. And they're not even getting to play in front of their home crowd thanks to wildfires in California forcing the NFL to move the game to Arizona for safety precautions. Sure, there's some warning signs that you've been punching way above your weight, and they were one of only two teams you lost against earlier in the season, but you'll be fine. You're not going to blow this... right?
Wild Card Weekend: January 13, 2025 [*ding*]
[music turns back to whimsical comedy music] You turn into a pumpkin at the worst possible time. Darnold reverts back to his Jets vintage and your offensive line allows 9 sacks against him, tying the all-time record for sacks allowed in a playoff game. What was an excellent season goes up in smoke as the Rams blow you out 27-9 and you become the first 14-win team to lose in the Wild Card round. Possibly the most embarrassing performance in a Wild Card Weekend full of them. At least you probably aren't going to pay Darnold next year?
First time going to TH-cam since the end of today's Vikings-49ers game, and this was recommended to me on the front page.
Quite the timing, TH-cam.
The date is January 13th 2025, the Vikings just shat the bed in the Wild Card round after going 14-3. Starting quarterback Sam Darnold experienced another schizophrenic episode and saw ghosts as he was sacked 9 times. Eternal damnation in football hell.
And thus, another chapter added to our failing legacy. It’s nowhere near the most painful loss, it’s just another year of coming up short.
Dont worry yall will get it one day you guys are well run just keep coming up short like you said
@@greshamwhite2466 honestly if they get a good replacement for diggs they might make a superbowl in let's say, 3 years
@@Crumbite. Just gotta hope Kirk Cousins can stay consistent
@@greshamwhite2466 with a good oline he should be fine, so don't fuck that up
The Vikings are interesting. Taking a look at their record as a whole, they are easily one of the most successful franchises in the NFL. 7th best win-loss percentage, 30 playoff appearances in sixty years, 20 division titles, and 4 Super Bowl appearances. They make the playoffs every other year on average; they win the division every third year. They have more playoff seasons than the Patriots, the Bears, the 49ers, the Broncos, the Chiefs, the Colts, the Raiders, Rams, Redskins, Chargers, and Eagles - despite being younger than all those franchises (some of them by decades).
By no measure can the Vikings be considered a rock-bottom franchise on the level of the Browns or the Jets or the Lions. Those teams are just endless miseries.
That's not the Vikings. No, the Vikings specialty brand of failure is one based on exquisitely-timed pain. They consistently are of the top teams in the league - which better positions them to rip your heart out at the mountaintop. They're the torturer who knows that the greatest cruelty is that of hope. They build you up, they raise your expectations, and then they lose it all in the worst possible and least expected way.
The Vikings are that old thought experiment made real: Is it better to always be a contender but never win, or just to never compete at all? To always fail at the cruelest moment possible or to simply never expect to succeed? Which is worse: misery or hope?
We were so close to adding another chapter. Thank the lord for he finally shined upon the Vikings
Deedo Hopkins This year is different. REALLY different !
Yeah, that was a mirage as they got blown the fuck out by the Eagles in the NFC Championship...
I'll draft the next chapter.
2024: You go 14-3 led by a resurrected Sam Darnold and a stout defense! Sure you lose out on the division to an even stronger Lions team but you got this in the bag. Take care of the Rams in the Wild Card and your playoff redemption tour will begin.
January 13, 2025: Like clockwork, Sam Darnold sees ghosts and reverts to his old Jets form. Sacked a playoff record nine times and thoroughly embarrassed by the Rams 27-9
It’s 2020: The Vikings have just pulled another last minute improbable victory against the Saints in the SuperDome. No one gave them a shot. No one. Has Kirk Cousins finally broken the choking in Primetime narrative? Has this wildly inconsistent team finally started clicking at the right time? The Vikings haven’t won a road playoff game since 2004.
There’s a chance to beat the, at times, vulnerable 49ers.
There’s even a chance to play the Packers in the NFC championship at Lambeau. I sense innumerable amounts of pain on the horizon. Hit me with that EverClear when the time is right.
The Vikings pull a close victory in the game vs 49rs. Only to lose 24-25 in the nfc championship by a sideline touchdown from tyreek hill of the Chiefs.
Once again, the vikings have come up short.
@@jelioooo The Vikes instead lose to the 49ers badly, close prediction you had lol.
@@brodown64 exactly I wanted to root against them for beating the Saints. But, Because there snake bitten there was really no point
Only one problem with this: there may not be any pro football in 2020--but we'll see!
Levels of pain the Browns/Bengals can only dream of.
2024: The Vikings finish with a 14-3 record, but then Sam Darnold saw ghosts once again and gets sacked 9 times by a Rams team that started 1-4.
*2023, Week 18*
It wasn't enough to lose to the Lions when you needed to win, you do it again near the end of the season as the new NFC North overlords push you off a cliff into the waiting arms of elimination.
So glad you went with this tree. Its the end of an era
Not just been
But the series finale... of Days... of our steelers
8:29 - Best line of all time: “You sent a king’s ransom for Sam Bradford!!! Heavens to f-ing Murgatroy!!!”
Which ended up biting them in 2017 cause that first round pick became Barrnett who stripped the ball from the Vikings int he NFC Champ game
@Harry Engel And yet the best offensive player on that team that year, outside maybe Thielen
@Harry Engel I didn't get it until I looked him up. He's like Derrick Rose without that mvp season.
2023
Well, it’s believed that you are primed for regression and it shows early on with losing 4 of your first 5 that include allowing Brandon Staley to once again escape his own idiocy. The only win is against the Panthers which helps your division rival due to them holding the Panthers’ first round pick
What’s this, a 3 game winning streak to get back to .500? What’s the catch?
Kirk Cousins: (scream) UNIT LOST
Achilles injury…
welp time for the bleach
Week 9-10
at ATL, NO: Behold our new messiah, the passtronaut
Week 11-12
at DEN, CHI: He comes crashing back down to earth
Week 14
at LV: We beat the Raiders, but it feels like a loss. A 3-0 game. The last NFL game with that score was MIA-PIT in 2007 and their excuse was it was played in mud. This game was played in a climate controlled dome.
Lose final 4, get eliminated on the final Sunday of the season while get your asses kicked by the NFC North’s newest overlord, the Lions… wait (checks script)?
The Lions are… good…?
oh… another older brother to torment us…
Bartender, more bleach!
2025: Vikings still gonna Viking
My team just got roasted so hard. I love the Vikings but God dam do I just cringe at the thought that they've been around for over 50 years and been to 4 Superbowls and yet somehow don't have any rings.
This might be the year man
Who's here after Secret Base announced a documentary series?
Here after watching part 1. Will be interesting to see what they find that is often overlooked.
Same
@@tleoipl37After watching the whole thing I would argue that the Vikings biggest overlooked misfortune was the fact that Fran Tarkenton played for the Giants in 1969, 70, and 71.
The defense was very good over 1973-76, when Tark was there, but not as otherworldly as 1969-71.
In particular in 1970 if Tarkenton is there then I think they could’ve won it all especially given that they lost only 17-14 to San Francisco, and the opposing offenses after that would’ve been weaker.
2022: 13-4, what a great season! Kevin O’Connell is a good coach and Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, are having spectacular individual bounce back from a mediocre 2021. This FINALLY has to the year to do it!
2022 WildCard Round: In Typical Viking fashion, they got eliminated from the playoffs, losing to Daniel Jones and the New York Giants…. Can this team ever win?!?!?! My goodness, this team is cursed!!!!!
I love how things have basically remained basically the same since the release of this video.
Being a Vikings fan is constantly asking to have hopes raised high enough that the inevitable disappointing is crushing.
2024 Wild Card: The Rams defense transforms into ghosts, terrifying Darnold back in Jets form. The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh, Vikings? BARTENDER!!!!
He steps up. He’s all by himself. Fires into the endzone. CAUGHT!!! (pause) TOUCHDOWN!!!! No! No!
@Razh 80 vikings fans:we aren't making the super bowl?
As a Packers fan, this is why Josh McCown will always have a place in my heart.
And Ya Made Baby Jesus Cry.
Probably the saddest call in sports history
RIP Bud Grant poor guy never got his ring
2024 Regular Season: "Your 14-2. You are playing for the #1 seed. You have Sam Darnold playing way over his head. Time is now, Boys! Get it done!"
2024 Playoffs: "You get ass blasted by the Lions to drop to the #5 seed then get pantsed by the Rams 8 days later as Sam Darnold remembers he is ass. Another Scotch please!."
Even when the Vikings go 17-0, they always find a way to be one-and-done in the playoffs. Such a bummer.
12/5/2021
You are facing the winless Detroit Lions. This organization has not won a game in about a year. Surely you can find a way to overcome THEM, right?
4th Quarter, 0:04 remaining
You're in a position where if you stop this play, you win the game. Besides, it's Jared Goff at QB, just do SOMETHING!
Throws game winning TD pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown
I think you almost would have preferred losing on yet another game-clinching field goal.
Why did this pop up as first recommended video the night after the Vikings lost the week 18 battle for the 1 seed to the lions
2024: You have the best season since 1998. Darnold sees the ghosts again as you fold to the LA Rams in the Wildcard.
Who's here after they lost 27-9 to the rams in the wild card?
When you are a lions fan none of this seems that bad we would die for a 50 year run like that. Literally only a handful of teams have more playoff and conference championship appearances during the last 50 or so years. Had they not made the walker trade they would have likely won multiple super bowls in the 90s.
i hate being a lions fan
Yea tbh watching this documentary there's a bunch of lions fans like wtf are you complaining about we only have 1 playoff win in the last 66 years
Uhh, no they would not have. Not with the 49ers, Cowboys and even Packers ruling that decade.
Who is here after Rams Vickings game
This could represent any Minnesota sports team tbh
The Wild are having the best season in there entire existance and they're down 1-3 against the Blues
Wild is doing good and the timberwolves have a future
LawndaleLion Lmao i forgot they even existed
timberpups could be something if their second best player could finally learn how to defend NBA offenses in the off-ball
LawndaleLion the forgotten lolcow
2024: Ok we got 14 wins with Sam Darnold. Surely this is our year.
2024/25 playoff: Proceed to lose to Rams while Sam Darnold got sacked 9 times.
Who’s here on January 13th, 2025?
2024 Season: Start off 14-2 before getting completely exposed in a winner take all game against the Lions THEN get blown out by the Rams the next week in the wild card round. That’s what happens when Sam Darnold finally remembers he’s Sam Darnold.
I wasn't alive for Gary Anderson but I remember crying so hard at the age of 9 when I saw the saints go to the super bowl. I was also THERE to see Blair Walsh miss the kick of his life. Ahh such game memories you would wonder why I even watch them. Maybe because I was born and raised in Minnesota and will be a Vikings fan no matter what the future has in miserable store for them.
Jesus, kid, I hope you don't have to endure as many years of misery as everyone who remembers when they could actually win a conference title.
So was I. I was working security on the field that day too. Holy shit! That was a nightmare!
Status update
McCarthy tears meniscus
Addison has been carted off the field
Hockenson is out for several months with a ACL injury
Johnson dies in a car accident
Blackmon left practice with injury
Back up WR is also injured.
They are stuck with Sam Darnold as QB1 for the season, and hopefully Jetta doesn’t want to leave after this season.
And it’s not even the regular season yet!!
2024 - Wow. You’re 14-3 and one of the biggest surprises in the league with a revival of Sam Darnold of all players
Week 18- Well that was unfortunate. Now you have to play on the road in the playoffs. Who are you against the Rams? This should be an easy playoff win.
2024 Wild Card Game - You get blown out by the revived Rams 27-9 and you’re one and done in the playoffs once again. Vikings gonna Viking.
The Vikings are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Let's see what happened this time
2020: Your defense lost so many pieces and turned into total refuse. You wasted an all-world year from Dalvin Cook and a strong rookie year from Justin Jefferson. Your kicker missed 4 field goals in a 12 point loss. You traded a 2nd round pick for Yannick Ngokue only to trade him for a 3rd round pick to the Ravens after only 6 games. You started 1-5, cockteased your fans by rallying to get to 6-6 and then lost the next 3 games to get eliminated. Who eliminated you? The Saints, who you were able to lord over eliminating them 2x in the playoffs the last 3 years. At least you beat the Packers in Lambeau though.
Tree may have seen multiple LoF vidoes become irrelevant quickly, but at least this video doesn't look like it will become irrelevant any time soon
Watching this after the Vikings lost to the 0-10-1 Lions in the 2021 season
2017: Holy shit. You go 13-3 and cruise into the playoffs. Journeyman QB Case Keenum comes out of nowhere to have the season of his life. You also boast one of the strongest defenses in the NFL. You are the team to beat in the NFC. There's no way you can fuck this up. This is your year.
2017 NFC Divisional: Coming off your first round bye, your opponent is a familiar foe: the New Orleans Saints. You start fast and lead 17-0 at halftime, but the offense stalls and that vaunted defense of yours forgets how to play and proceeds to choke the game away. Wil Lutz kicks the dagger field goal to put New Orleans in front 24-23 with little time remaining. Better luck next year boys.
Final play, 2017 NFC Divisional: But wait! You pull of a miracle victory with no time left! You got your revenge for 2009! Sure, that was mostly because Marcus Williams forgot how to tackle at the worst possible moment, but you are a team of destiny. You're gonna go to the Super Bowl and win it in front of your own fans. All you have to do to make it to the Super Bowl is beat the vulnerable Philadelphia Eagles, who have to win with backup QB Nick Foles. Eh, they have no chance against you. Foles has been shaky and the only reason those Eagles are even here is because the Atlanta Falcons falconed again. You're not the Falcons, though. You'll show Philly who's boss.
2017 NFC Championship: You get completely and utterly embarrassed by the Eagles. Your offense checks out after the first drive and your defense? The one that was great all season long? They make Nick Foles look like Tom fucking Brady. The Eagles then proceed to win what should have been yours in your home stadium two weeks later.
2018 offseason: You move on from Case Keenum, but you get a nice upgrade at QB in Kirk Cousins. Losing Jerick McKinnon sucks, but you'll make it back to the playoffs. You have enough talent to do so.
2018 Week 5: And you return the favor against those goddamn defending champion Eagles by shutting down their offense for most of the game.
2018 Week 17: You are 8-6-1 and you look nowhere near as good as you did last year. You have been rather inconsistent all season long. But it's OK. Just beat the upstart Chicago Bears at home, and you'll be back in the playoffs, where you can finally finish your unfinished business. The Bears then proceed to teabag you all game long. A certain NFC team wins that same day and knocks you out of the playoffs in the process. That team is...you guessed it...THE FUCKING EAGLES! Seriously how do you shit the bed that badly?
2019: You rebound and make it back to the playoffs with a respectable 10-6 record. You have to go to New Orleans to face those hated Saints in the Wild Card Round. You may have knocked them out of Super Bowl contention two seasons ago, but they landed a nice counterpunch on you in Week 8 of the 2018 season. Time for you to win the grudge match.
2019 Wild Card: Wow, you're holding strong against one of the most potent offensive attacks in the league. You lead by 10 points in the 4th quarter as you...piss that away. And here comes the perennial disappointment.
Overtime, 2019 Wild Card: You win the coin toss and drive down the field to score a game-winning touchdown, knocking out those godless Saints. Very impressive. You beat a very strong team in their house. Maybe this is the start of a special playoff run.
2019 NFC Divisional: Wait never mind, you get your fans' hopes up only to let them down again. The San Francisco 49ers put you into a sleeper hold and knock you out.
2020 offseason: Remember that outstanding Stefon Diggs guy who helped lead you to that miracle playoff win against New Orleans? You waste his talent and trade him the the Buffalo Bills.
2020 NFL Draft: At least you fill the void with a more talented receiver in Justin Jefferson. You can thank the Eagles for not picking him up when they had the chance.
2020: You get off to a horrid 1-5 start to the season and never recover. Key defensive pieces Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks suffer injuries and your defense falls off a cliff. Justin Jefferson may be outstanding, but Kirk Cousins regresses from 2019. Even without fans in the stands due to COVID, you still manage to punch them in the dick.
2021: OK, you've got Barr and Kendricks back, you've got the pieces to make a deep playoff run. And you suffer painful loss after painful loss and miss the playoffs at 8-9. I mean, just how many ways can you guys lose? Missing yet another chip shot field goal to lose to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2? Losing to a Dallas Cowboys team without Dak Prescott in Week 8? Losing to a winless Detroit Lions team in Week 13 because your defense went full Vikings on the Lions' final drive? You guys really are pathetic. You deserve to be sitting on your asses in January.
2022 offseason: You finally give Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman the axe after years of woeful underachieving. You hire an inexperienced head coach in Kevin O'Connell, fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Los Angeles Rams.
2022: Wow! You clinch the NFC North against the Indianapolis Colts with the largest comeback in NFL history! I gotta tip my hat to you for that. Sure the point differential isn’t impressive and you’ve barely gotten by in several games, but you are the cardiac kids. This is your time. Now bring that Lombardi to the twin cities!
2022 Wild Card Round: And you lose your first one-score game of the season in the playoffs against a resurgent but injury-riddled New York Giants squad. A par for the course one-and-done for this franchise. Ed Donatell can be chucked to the wolves for his failures.
2023 Week 5: Regression strikes you hard, as through five games, you have already lost as many games as you did all of last season. All of the losses have been by one score. Everyone that called you fraudulent last season feels vindicated. (cue Madden bone cracks sound) And you lose Justin Jefferson for an extended period of time. God you guys are fucked.
2023 Week 8: Wait a minute, you pulled off three straight wins to revive your season? Without Justin Jefferson? One of them coming against white hot San Francisco? Damn. I'm impressed. You might have playoffs in your future if you keep playing like this (cue bone cracks) and you lost Kirk Cousins for the season. You may have traded for a nice rental in Josh Dobbs to fill his void, but this is a tough blow to take. You guys really are cursed, aren't you?
2023: Dobbs reaches meme status and he guides you to another two wins, but then his magic unfortunately runs out. But hey, you’re 7-6 and in position to make the playoffs in a weak NFC. You even have Justin Jefferson back to torch opposing secondaries! And then you bow out by losing your final four games of the season. Why am I not shocked by this?
March 11, 2024: You can finally say goodbye to your hated quarterback, as he departs for a massive bag and another hell in Atlanta. You fill the void with Sam Darnold. I swear if he’s starting for you this season…
Good job, for me the wildcard stung more than the 2019 divisional loss to the 9ers since I expected another 1 score win or a blowout loss.
I'd.......love to see what he would have to say if they added in this season to the video. 38-7 lose to the Eagles in the NFC Championship after finally having a miracle go in their favor the previous game.
