The Minnesota Vikings have been gut-punched like few other professional sports franchises. Think back to the 2015 Wild Card Round and Blair Walsh with arguably the worst field goal miss in NFL history. Brett Favre threw away and Adrian Peterson fumbled away the NFC Championship in 2010. They get buffaloed by the Giants in the NFC Championship Game in 2001, a game that was essentially over two minutes into the game. Nate Poole and Josh McCown eliminate them from the playoffs on the final play of the season in 2003. Gary Anderson kicks away a chance to advance to Super Bowl XXXIII. Roger Staubach and Drew Pearson connect on a Hail Mary in the 1976 playoffs. They lost four Super Bowls. The list just goes on and on and on. So perhaps tonight is the beginning of the tide trending positively for the Vikings. Or maybe the wave is cresting to some unfathomable, impossible loss that will be worse than all those previous playoff losses combined. I'm talking something that's essentially mathematically impossible, like blowing a 28-0 lead in the final two minutes of the Super Bowl. Or the football gods have an even worse plan for them. You always have to worry about that.

Is it wrong that I want the Saints to draft Baker Mayfield just in case they let Drew go?

Marcus Williams is gonna be the most hated man in New Orleans... At least until Roman Reigns shows up in April.

Guys. I'm still shaking. I've been a Vikings fan for as long as I can remember.
These nights have ended in being broken hearted. 1998, 2000, 2009, 2015's Shank at the Bank...
I thought for sure we could add the "17-0" game to the list of long, terrible memories.
But the most non-Vikings thing happened. And I won't lie, I teared up.
Sports Man. Sports.

Alright, I’m gonna defend Marcus Williams.
So there’s :10 left on the clock when the ball is snapped.
Keenum hits Diggs at like the 33. Williams holds up ever so slightly because he thought he was coming in too soon and if he makes contact, the Vikes have a shot at the end zone with enough time on the clock. What he planned to do was wait and tackle, but in going to ground, he gave Diggs the free lane.
Now, considering how poor some of the PI calls were today, I don’t blame Williams for being cautious. He just failed in executing his plan. He’s gonna wear goat horns in NOLA for a while, but I know what he was thinking.

Yeah I get he was probably trying to avoid a PI call, but even if he gets called on it, it still would've prevented the eventual TD though.

Paul Allen being Paul Allen. He's a treasure for us. "No one can find Stephon Diggs, he ran into the tunnel!" He was torn apart the moment he was out of sight, his liver is already on EBay and he's questionable for the championship game but tonight we celebrate!

Craziest thing I have ever seen in the NFL. I am the only one who will mark out for the Jags-Vikings Super Bowl, only for my intense dislike of the Patriots and Eagles. That's what I yearn for as well. Plus, whoever wins gets their first Super Bowl win. Mad respect for the Jags for showing immense amounts of balls on the road and to the Vikes for reversing their dreadful playoff misfortunes. Now go shit on the Eagles at the Linc. Please? Please?!

This may sound strange coming from a Packers fan, especially with Favre not being there, but I hope the Vikings win the whole damn thing.
Even though that stupid horn and "Skol!" crap are annoying.

You know there was one f***ing weirdo in Vegas who predicted Case Keenum vs Nick Foles in the NFC Championship in like Week One and is f***ing rich now... That weirdo, sadly, is not me.

So the two teams who have of history of f***ing up in the NFC championship game will meet in said game. ONE OF THEM WON'T LOSE!

Almost went out of his way to avoid a personal foul or bad hit, but it backfired

That seriously was the worst defensive play maybe of all time in the NFL. It has to be either that or Rahim Moore against the Ravens, which led to Joe Flacco getting the only Super Bowl ring he will ever sniff (and probably denied Manning #3).
It's hard to imagine the past 2 days going much worse for the NFL. You have the Patriots winning decisively, while the potential dream rematch is out the window now that Jacksonville beat the Steelers (I think Blake Bortles will have thrown his first INT during warm ups next week). The AFC is basically the Western Conference of the NBA during the 80s, with the Lakers beating a bunch of nobodies every year. Beating the Jags is roughly akin to the Lakers beating, I dunno, the 1985 Denver Nuggets. Or the early 80s Spurs.
And the NFC? You know the NFL no doubt wanted Brees vs. Ryan in that NFC title game, or at least Brees in the title game. I can see the Vikings get the Super Bowl at home, but we know that is where the football gods will give them the worst and most painful loss ever. But next week the Vikings really do need to win that since at least it sets up the intriguing storyline of the Vikings trying to win it all at home. Otherwise we'll get Tom Brady vs. Nick Foles in one of the more laughable QB mismatches in history. I guess Foles could try to be the modern day Jeff Hostetler, but I kinda doubt the Pats are going to choke like the Bills.
