The Minnesota Vikings: A Legacy of Failure
Vložit

- TRIGGER WARNING: The following video contains scenes that may cause horrible pain for Vikings fans and/or vicarious joy for division rivals.
The Vikings existence is a life of miserable failure in nearly every aspect of being. Let's face it: You thought it was just the field goals, didn't you? Maybe you knew of the Herschel Walker trade and the four Super Bowl losses.
There is far more failure than any of us could've ever imagined. This video is dedicated to that misery. I would make a drinking game out of it, but we would all be dead after four minutes. - Sport
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.
“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...
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

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.

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.

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?
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!
2017 NFC Championship: All I can say is... "Only a brick wall can stop you. Its name is the Eagles." And 2 weeks later, THEY won the Super Bowl IN YOUR HOME STADIUM.
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 New Orleans. 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: 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 off 1-5 and it's all downhill from there. Your defense falls off a cliff due to many injuries. Justin Jefferson becomes Rookie of The Year, but that's not gonna matter much.
2021: Barr and Kendricks are back, so MAYBE you have a chance to go far. And 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.
2022: You're 13-4, have a GREAT 33-0 comeback against the Colts to win the NFC North, and make it to the playoffs again. THIS HAS TO BE THE SEASON.
January 2023: 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?

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.

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.

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

RIP Bud Grant, I wish you would of won a SuperBowl with the Vikings, you deserved it.
*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.

@@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?
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: 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.
Whose here after the Vikings loss to the 49ers? 😩😭😭
No matter how many times the vikings beat my saints we still got a ring
Khalil Melton and havent done anything since and only got that ring because you cheated
@@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.

*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.

Along with Alex Rubinstein!
I knew this was coming. Sums up all the agony.
and... again
It keeps continuing 😂
@@LSTNSCRFN I commented that 5 fkn years ago and nothing has changed lmfao
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?

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.
That line is only for the Falcons :)
Frost your average teenager as a falcons fan it counts for both us and the Vikings
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."
RIP Bud Grant poor guy never got his ring
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
Don’t forget that they beat the Packers at Lambeau. One game after getting punched in the mouth by the Falcons. These fuckers can’t even tank right
Don’t forget Saints get revenge by putting you out of your misery and ties the all time touchdown record by a running back.
2022: Dont forget signing free agent Zadarius Smith with a declining body.
That Waluigi joke on Wilf was epic, I haven't lol'd like that in a while, well done my friend, well done...
Eh, Wario’s the more accurate comparison....
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
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.
aged like wine
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
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
How nonchalant
Getting tea bagged by Big Dick Nick in the playoffs
Then go on to watch the Eagles win the Superbowl in your new stadium.
This was a combination of the Eagles playing very well and the Vikings playing like shit.
Foles Made One Too Many Puns
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.
@@jelioo_1532 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.
and then today's news about their greatest coach (RIP Bud Grant) brought me here. Maybe the Vikings problem was moving indoors?
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
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.
Some things never change
How's this for a new LoF moment? The 2023 Minnesota Vikings get off to a weak 1-4 start, but manage to turn around to get them back and give them a chance to clinch the NFC North. But a key string of issues (like star players on the injury list), pedestrian playing styles, and a Week 16 loss to the Lions put a damper on that.
By the way, did anyone come on here when the Lions clinched the NFC North title with their win against the Vikings?

Here in 2021 when daddy Rogers ended the Vikings season
2022: despite a great record you were never taken seriously as you were exposed by the Giants
A team with with limited talent and haven't won a playoff game since their last SB title well over a decade ago.
*2023, Continued*
We need a new quarterback to guide our team through this messy season! Behold the glory of Josh Dobbs! The birth of the passtronaut!

The 2nd greatest Lions quarterback of the season!... you realize this is a game you had to WIN, right, Vikings?
The Cleveland Browns of the Playoffs, and Superbowl
He already did the Browns
Chris Lancour you read it all wrong dude, he's saying the Vikings are like the Browns in the playoffs.
Nah bruh, that honor belongs to the Bills
@@leeharden3724 Id say Vikings overall. They at the very least make the playoffs consistently. Buffalo? Well, it takes them a while. Losing 4 straight Super Bowls is a travesty in and of itself, but it's far more damning that it took them almost 20 years to get to a playoff game
I love how things have basically remained basically the same since the release of this video.
I like how despite all their futility Tree never really lambasts Bud Grant. He knows a lack of coaching was not why they lost those super bowls.
Being a Vikings fan is constantly asking to have hopes raised high enough that the inevitable disappointing is crushing.
2022: You go 13-4 and make the playoffs again but several of those wins were by luck and chance which doesn’t bode well for you in the postseason
2022 Wildcard Round: You lose at home to the Derp which makes your season a bigger fraud than Enron Conglaturation
God is a cruel asshole isn’t he? He made their first one-score loss of the season in the playoffs against a Giants squad with several holes on their roster.
6:55, “All those sacrificed goats and YOU STILL can’t win!”
Probably can't get over running the wrong way for a safety.
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?
December 5th, 2021. That is all.
Watching this after the Vikings lost to the 0-10-1 Lions in the 2021 season
And as of this date, the Vikings are now the oldest professional sports franchise without winning a championship. (The 1969 NFL Championship at that time was akin to winning an AL/NL Pennant and doesn't count.)
The Cardinals also don’t count because they won a championship before the SuperBowl was Established.
Everyone's here today for the same reason 😂😂😂
Update
2017
Sam Bradford is your QB (snap, UNIT LOST) he got hurt… oh no… who could’ve seen that coming…
Ok, so Case Keenum is your QB
You go 13-3 mainly because older brother broke their Aaron Rodgers, the Lions just can’t get over the hump, and the Bears are who we thought they were
The Super Bowl is in your stadium. Maybe this is the year
2017 NFC DIVISIONAL
N3)NO at N2)MN
1st HALF
You’re up 17-0. Looking good
3rd-4th quarter w/13.09 left
Ok… it’s getting close but what did you expect? They have Drew Brees. Get a TD and put the game away for good
Later on in the 4th quarter
…
4th quarter 1.29
Ok a FG to put us up 2, play defense and-
Next drive
Drew Brees marches down the field and the Saints kick a FG to go up one. I know how this ends. Let me get the bleach… (walks to where cleaners are stored)
Final play of the game
Keenum… to Diggs… can he stay inbounds… YES!!! TOUCHDOWN VIKINGS!!! OFF TO PHILADELPHIA NEXT SUNDAY!!
puts the bleach cocktail down…
oh my god… our prayers have been answered… A Miracle… A Minneapolis Miracle…
And the Super Bowl is in our stadium… The stars are aligning… IT’S COMING HOME!!!

Like with the Falcons last week: “Only a brick wall can stop you! It’s name is the Eagles”
Eagles fan to Vikings fan: “Go Birds!!! Go Birds!!!”
SUPER BOWL LII
N1)PHI vs A1)NE
That Eagles team led by *THEIR* backup QB wins the Super Bowl. At least the Patriots didn’t win… that means nothing… pass the bleach…
2018
Scatter your QBs to the 4 corners of the earth & send a squad with money to rescue Kirk Cousins from [NAME REDACTED]’s damn good culture
Cousins is ok but the team is on shaky ground. The good news is that the Packers are learning that McCarthyism doesn’t work and the Lions are about to learn that skinning the Patriots doesn’t work. The bad news is that your other big brother in Chicago is seeing a revival seen last in 2006: so-so QB play but awesome defense that could lead to a deep playoff run
You play the Bears where you both have something to play for. Beat them and you’re in
2018 WEEK 17
CHI at MN
Cousin lays an egg and the Bears start pulling their starters because the Rams are so far ahead of a battered and bruised 49ers squad that they have the NFC-2 locked up by halftime
Meanwhile in DC, in what would be the Eagles de facto 9th home game against the Deadskins, they claim the NFC-6
You know what would be helpful…?
If you beat the Bears at least once
Or not lose at the Rams
Or not get crushed by the Bills at home?
Or… see that 1 at the end of your 8-7-1 record? That was from tying the Packers back in Week 2!!!

2020
This is going to be a weird season. COVID has disrupted everything especially the sports calendar. The NBA & NHL suspended their seasons and will be completing their respective playoffs in bubbles. MLB is playing a 60-game season with an expanded playoff format. College football is… maybe going forward with a season…
But the NFL plans to play its full season, pandemic be damned! It’s about chasing that almighty dollar and fulfilling TV contracts!
Kind of eerie with cardboard cutouts of fans and nearly no one in the stadiums… Let’s see how the Vikings do
Stefon Diggs is not happy so we ship him off to Buffalo but we land Justin Jefferson so no harm no foul
Besides the season being played in unique conditions, the Vikings start off losing 5 of their first 6… wait, that can’t be right?
(TEST PATTERN)
Ok, the system had to reboot and we’re now 6-6 with 4 to play
Fail to repeat 10-6 record by losing at TB quarterbacked by… Tom Brady?! when did that happen?!
Proceed to lose at home to the Bears and then Santa Claus drops off a playoff elimination in a loss to the Saints on Christmas Day
475 pts given up, 3rd most in team history. Wasn’t Mike Zimmer hired as this defensive guy?
Back to the bleach… what do ya mean your out?… really? people are drinking bleach to combat COVID… fine… arsenic it is!
2021
Lose to the Bengals in OT
Miss a FG at the Cardinals the next week
Lose at home to the Browns that define offensive ineptness
Lose to the Cowboys at the end by a TD pass from Cooper Rush!
Lose at the 49ers because we can’t manage the clock!
Lose to the Lions at the gun… FOR THEIR FIRST WIN?!
Lose at home to the Rams because we can’t cover Cooper Cupp
And we need to beat the Packers to make the playoffs… and older brother kicks our asses to end the season at 7-9
(whispers) the season is *HOW LONG*?!
I don’t care! If you need me, I’ll be drinking Fabulosa
THE DAY AFTER THE 2021 SEASON ENDS
Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman are found guilty for their crimes against the Vikings
Their punishment: told to get the fuck out and never return
2022
New coach Kevin O’Connell has them at 8-1… but they’re some pretty close contests
That game in Buffalo is one of the top, if not the game of the year. Justin Jefferson: catch of the year!

DAL at MN
And the Cowboys push us off the cliff and we fall in the hole like Homer Simpson.

Fuck. This. Team.
If you need me, I’ll be off in the garage huffing varnish!
2nd half
I must be hallucinating but the Vikings came back to win the game in overtime…
But how…?
Oh… the Colts QB is Matt Ryan who has the 28-3 curse *AND* who did the Colts fire before replacing him with the Irsay’s puppet?
None other than Frank Reich, the QB that led the Bills from down 35-3 back in January 1993 against the Oilers for a 41-38 OT win
This game was everything Colts *AND* Vikings at the same time
This team goes 13-4 and finishes with a -3 point differential
just… how?
2022 NFC WILD CARD
N6)NYG at N3)MN
Playoffs. Clean slate, anything can happen
The Vikings can’t stop the Giants running game of Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones. And Jones… can also throw apparently as he goes 24/35 for 301 yds and 2 passing TDs
But the Vikings have the ball, time to drive downfield to tie it up and extend the game
4th and 8… Cousins checks down to Hockenson who is immediately wrapped up… And the Giants will win their 1st postseason game in 12 years when they won Super Bowl XLVI…
(Sonic 1 Game Over music)
Frauds all along
BUD GRANT EULOGY
March 2023
Bud Grant has passed on
He never got to hoist Lombardi but that that doesn’t diminish what he did. When he took over the Vikings in 1967, they were an expansion punching bag. In the 1970s, if you wanted to make the Super Bowl in the NFC, you had to go through them or the Cowboys
Folks in the US overlook the success he had in Canada’s CFL winning 4 titles with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. A statue was built in his honor outside their stadium
Without a doubt he was as tough as the teams he put together. Fran Tarkenton. Chuck Foreman. Ron Yary. The Purple People Eaters was a legendary defense along with some unique men. Shame Jim Marshall is not in the HOF. Alan Page became a judge in Minnesota
Look at him walking to the coin toss in what would be the Vikings final outdoor home game. It is nearly minus 10F and here is Bud Grant in short sleeves at 88. Too bad that the FG went wide left at the end of the game to spoil that memory
Watch an NFL Films profile of him about how he spent his latter days: he was either out hunting or having a garage sale where he chatted up with his neighbors
I raise a glass to you sir. May there be a Viking funeral and several horn blasts in your honor
Til Valhalla
Bud Grant 1927-2023
2023 OFF-SEASON
The Vikings released fan favorite Adam Thielen and he is now with the rebuilding Panthers. Also gone is Dalvin Cook because running backs are unfortunately disposable commodities in today’s NFL for many reasons. He has signed with the Jets and will be playing with…
AARON RODGERS?!!!
HALLELUJAH, THE EVIL IS NO MORE!!!
So how will the Vikings screw up 2023?
2023
TO BE CONTINUED…
Keep it going 😂
Ur a legend for this
Rest in Peace Bud
I was rewatching older videos, wondering when a new video was coming, and here it is
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.
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.
2021: You have a talented team but are fighting for your lives for a playoff spot after some tough losses. Don't worry though you have the winless lions up next. Their misery makes yours look like childs play ,get it done.
*DING*
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU GAVE UP A TOUCHDOWN ON THE FINAL PLAY? YOU LOST TO THE LIONS?!!!?!?!?!?!
Time to fire Mike Zimmer I guess.
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.
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
Who’s here after the Sentient Derp (Danny Dimes and the Giants) beat the heavily favored Vikings in Minnesota.
2022: After firing Zimmer, the team is THRIVING
A world class year from Justin Jefferson
Kirk Cousins and his chains playing up to contract
you've even pulled off a 33 point comeback against the Colts and allowed everyone to laugh at Matt Ryan again!
with a trade for TJ Hockenson at the deadline, all signs point to success
sure the point differential is negative, but you're a team of destiny!
2023: You get knocked out by the New York Giants in the first round... Vikings gonna VIKING.
6:22 R.I.P.
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!
The Vikings are nothing if not consistent. You can always count on them to buckle under pressure and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
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.
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.
Another year.
Another time that this ages well.
And now Bud Grant passed away, poor guy, RIP
Oh, didn't know he won a ring playing with the Minneapolis Lakers too
First time going to CZcams since the end of today's Vikings-49ers game, and this was recommended to me on the front page.
Quite the timing, CZcams.
To add more to the Legacy of Failure, losing to the Giants for throwing a checkdown on 4th and 8
2017 NFL Draft
With AP gone there is a hole at running back but this guy named Dalvin Cook is on the board? Fine, we can take a shot on him.
2017
Well done, Vikings, you have redeemed yourselves after many years of falling apart and you are contenders again, 13-3 season and the second seed in the NFC, the Saints are no match for the machine you've built
2017 Divisional
See what I mean? 17 point lead at halftime and all the momentum in your favor. There's no way you can fuck this up.
2017 NFC Divisional, 4th Quarter
You completely choke the game away and allow the Saints to take the lead with only a few seconds left, you've added yet another choke to your failures, conglaturations.
2017 NFC Divisional, Final Play
*Minneapolis Miracle Clips play in the background*
Wait, you scored an unbelievable touchdown to win the game in Dramatic fashion? Holy shit. You're going to Philadelphia with a backup QB to face off with, somebody is gonna be shedding their choking label this year!
2017 NFC Championship
Unfortunately, it's not you. You score one touchdown on your first drive of the game and get completely humiliated by the Eagles the rest of the way, only one name is uttered as you die yet again: Big Dick Nick. Excuse me while I grab a bottle of whiskey.
Super Bowl 52
That Eagles team goes on to win the Super Bowl over the Evil Empire, Foles wins MVP and the Eagles shed their eternal demons. All in your stadium. I can't think of anything more brutal if I tried.
2018 Offseason
The choking that occurred in the NFC Championship shows Case Keenum is unreliable as our QB. Sure it'd be nice to keep Teddy Bridgewater around but Kirk Cousins is available for us to sign for a rich contract. Let's sign him!
2018
Enjoy a total collapse the following year with inconsistent QB play and miss the playoffs after Philadelphia breaks your heart again even after you beat them earlier in the season. Maybe losing to the Bills in Week 3 wasn't the best idea, eh? Just a hunch?
2019
You bounce back the following year and make the playoffs as a six seed. You're facing the Saints in the Wild Card game? Deja Vu of 2017?
2019 NFC Wild Card
You do know the whole point of a contender is to actually do shit, right New Orleans? No matter the Vikings are now heading on to San Francisco to maybe make another deep run!
2019 NFC Divisional
And you take the piss again. The 49ers make you their bitch as you bleed out and die. Again.
2020 NFL Draft
We need to add fire power to this roster. This Justin Jefferson guy will do.
2020
Enjoy a mediocre season with more inconsistent QB play and go 7-9
2021
Another 9 loss season gets Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman fired.
2022 Offseason
At least Justin Jefferson has truly shown to be a superstar. At least we can say we have one thing going over Philadelphia. Let's go and trade for the guy they drafted over Jefferson for good measures. Perfection
2022
You're going places again, 3rd best record in the NFC, Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook your defense, even Kirk Cousins at times is playing like Gods. You make the biggest comeback in NFL history over the Colts in Week 15. If this isn't the year, I don't know what is.
2022 NFC Wild Card
You lost to the Giants?! Your team goes completely flat against a team quarterbacked by Daniel Fucking Jones? I'm done. This team flashes all of this potential in the regular season just to wither and die in the postseason, I am done. Fuck off.
A Knicks lolcow video is a bit overdue. Their off-court drama and front-office blunders manage to overshadow their mediocre on-court performance.
1st sentence: Kristaps Porzingis is lucky he's the best thing they've drafted in years.
DerJungeMiroslav you'd have to tell him all the troubles though because he doesn't know a lot about the NBA
DerJungeMiroslav true
The Knicks traded away two second round picks and a first for ANDREA BARGNANI...
As a jaded Knicks fan I can't fucking WAIT for UrinatingTree to tear those brooming idiots a new one. Hell I should have done it myself by now...
6:24 Tavaris Jackson has more SB rings than the entire Vikings franchise
When did Tavaris win a Super Bowl ring?
@@CJEstradaMartinez with the Seahawks
@@TheLostStars Ah, yes. Super Bowl 48. If memory serves correctly, he died in a car crash several years ago.
Who's back after Kirk Cousins tore his achilles, therefore opening up the possibility for Aaron Rodgers to complete his Brett Favre arc?
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.
But this is a chip shot, you'll be fine~ You guys will be celebrating a playoff victory and *OHHHHH MYYYYY GAAWWWD*
_I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in-_ *AAAUUUGGGHHHHH* _and suddenly silenced._
George Zero I actually fucking cried for like 15 mins after it happened I love the Vikings but I can barely remember the 2009 season when we were half decent . Easily one of the most cursed franchises in all of sports
Zachary Wright ikr
here after the Vikings lost to the Lions and gave them their first win.
Anyone here after the Vikings choked to give the Lions their first win of the season.
