This simply isn't true. I'm far from "championship mindset", and I said 10-12 wins, get in the playoffs, and win a game or two. Build on that. Those were both fair and realistic, with running it back. That was the expectation. Went further? Where did we go?

Winning 13 games in the regular season and losing in the Wild Card round is not better than winning, say, 10 games and winning a game or two in the postseason. 10 games would've won the NFCN just the same as 13. We really needed to win in the postseason for this season to inspire confidence moving forward. Now, like it or not, we're just left with more questions.

Same number of playoff wins as 2020 and 2021, just a more entertaining regular season for some.

Probably a real fun year to be a season ticket holder (up until that playoff game), but in the end no one will care that we won the division or 13 games this season. All people will remember was the beatdown in the playoffs by one of the worst teams in the playoffs.

Actually, I find this year freakily similar to Matt Nagy's first year with the Bears in 2018, going 12-4 and getting a home playoff game against the Eagles... and we know how that one ended. Their strength was defense, and the offense was 9th in points despite being around #20-22 when it came to yards / DVOA. Then they went 8-8, 8-8, and 6-11 until he was fired.

Vikings are the only team with fans that think making the playoffs is like winning a SuperBowl. Vikings fans love mediocrity.

Are you the one Viking fan who doesn't or are you among all of us mediocrity lovers?

I want a SB, so making the playoffs and losing the first round is not considered a great season to me.

Thank you, Vikings, for exceeding expectations!

My hope (admittedly not my expectation) was that we would get this team on track for long term success. That certainly has not been "exceeded." We've regressed WRT draft capital and cap space, and our "good" vets are one year older. Other than adding Hock and another JJ year, I'm at a loss to find anything to say "thank you" for.
