Imagine that, the most popular thread on the board is about negativity.

It's why I kind of laugh when I hear people trying to preach "patience" as it relates to the front office and assembling this roster. I've been patient for 46 years (many of us much longer) and patience isn't my strong suit at this point in my fandom. I've seen this roster rebuilt under new management more times then I'd like to count over the years. I'd almost be willing to bet there are more posters on this board who have never seen this team in a Super Bowl than those that have. So yes, the fact that we aren't a happy bunch is hardly surprising

I hear what you are saying. It is to the point that I am jealous of Viking fans that at least were able to see them go to a Super Bowl or 4.

Believe me the experiences weren't very enjoyable, but at least they were there.

I feel the same way about Robert Smith. For all the talk about how “smart” he is / was, he sure was pretty damn stupid playing situational football.....

Rip Van Viking fell asleep in 1978 and woke up 45 years later. He thought "Heck we went to 4 Super Bowls in the last 9 years before I dozed off, we musta been to 20 since then and surely we've won one or two at least!"

When he learned the truth he fell back asleep.

It makes sense too because of Minnesota nice, the anger gets redirected through sports

Agreed. I was like 3 months old the last time they played in a Super Bowl. Just seeing them play in one and be involved in all the pre-game hype would be something to see. I guess the good thing is if/when they ever do make one, those of us that are still around will bask in it like no other fanbase in sports. It will be one of the greatest stories in sports history and we as the fanbase would get to be a part of that.

Keep it up, and it will be.

I went back and checked after posting this and realized it wasn't. But have to leave something for the contrarians.
