I was at a fan club in Louisville, KY. They started chanting "Super Bowl, Super Bowl!!". It was their fault too.@Vikesrock said:
Like it or not, the margin of victory is razor thin every year in the NFL. It's why teams go from playoff/Superbowl contenders to bottom feeders in a single season. Sure FA and the draft have a role in it, but so does the bounce of the oblong ball. Playoff time there is even more razor thin margins of error. A couple of bad bounces, a fumble at the wrong time, or a bad pick and you are sunk. The moral of the story is, it takes a little luck along with talent to win a Super Bowl. For some reason, the Vikings never seem to be on the right side of the luck coin....I certainly believe there has been the talent and the coaching to get over the hump in my lifetime, but things such as a missed field goal from a kicker who hadn't missed an ENTIRE year happens at the most inopportune time. That was my neighbor Nancy's fault...Right before Andersen went wide left, she blurted out "he hasn't missed all year right?"
We tried to stop the sentence before it left her face....Have never forgiven her to this very day.
