Can you help me?

Just lower your expectations, if Vikings lose in the playoffs, I just shrug and say sh*t happens and it was an amazing run that Vikings have with their new general manager and new head coach

1st off there is no such thing as luck. Things may go your way and it feels like luck but reality is luck doesn't exist any more then curses. When we had bad things happen we were cursed right?? BS we didn't do some little thing that could have made the difference. This team finds the little things and makes them work when needed most. 10 - 2 because they are masters of what some call findings the inches. Inches are a big increment in a game of yards. This is a good team so they win. Are they a dominant team? No, but they are playing as a team and fighting till the end every week. That's why they get the win. Want not luck.

I don't read 65 page threads, but yes.  Enjoying the ride each week expecting a loss at the end, only for us to still win.

Is this what it was like being a Packers fan the last 30 years?

No one reads large threads in one sitting. But that one has been ongoing since 3-1. It's still relevant. A few added pages each week.

No. Close. But Packers fans expect to win, and usually do. Well, ... until this season.

Don't forget the plane crash scenario! Their chances are never zero until eliminated, but they're damn close.

I've said it before. I came into the year with no expectations because the variables were too much to calculate. What could reasonably be expected from a team that hadn't been above .500 since December 2019 and was running back the same roster with new coaches and schemes?

The way the Vikes have been winning has helped me keep my expectations from growing. As the season has gone along I have developed the outlook that this team has flaws that create a ceiling and it may be a one and done playoff team.

Considering what I mentioned before, that prior to week 1 this season they hadn't been over .500 in nearly 1,000 days that's great.

If they somehow win it all and some want to talk crap about being the worst Superbowl Winner or whatever? My answer is trophy case punk. Packer fans want to talk smack? We've got a trophy now and you had 30 years of Hall of fame QB play and only won 2 so bite us.


I've been fairly apathetic towards the Vikes the last few years so this has been very enjoyable to me. I'm also realistic about what's coming after this year. There are cap problems that will necessitate a lot of long time staples being moved out and it will probably cause a step back next year.

In essence my advice, don't worry about we think will happen. Enjoy what is happening and that it is far better than what we should have expected. The plus side, if they defy that and pull it off, it will be all the sweeter.
