This is awful but the 41-0 NFC Title Game is still the most pathetic performance I can remember.

Every time they have shown the sidelines even earlier in the game, it didn't look like anyone was taking the game seriously, they seemed to treat this like a pre season game and there was no thought of winning at all.  They just completely packed it in.

You should be disgusted.

You should raise your children to have free will and if you did I can guarantee you none would be Viking fans.

Let me know if you need further parenting advice neither of my kids are Viking fans.  Most likely, because of years of verbal tirades mostly on Sundays but not exclusively:)

Yea, that was the worst performance in a playoff game, no doubt.  The the Philly debacle - IMO.

It was rumored, not confirmed, that the Giants heard our play calls over their headsets and I believe that.  

Wasn't that also the game where Randy walked off early?

Last year, Karmar/f'in Saints game was a joke as well.

The Philly game was a close second for playoff debacles, it was like we were deflated balloon with no desire to win...

The four super bowl losses were not pretty either...

The early walkoff by Moss was against Washington, last game of 2004 season.

Players aren’t dumb. They knew they were screwed once Mannion was named starter. It’s very difficult to win in Lambeau against a Rodgers led Packers. When you decide to start a practice squad caliber QB you know you have no chance

I was there, unfortunately. Emmitt Thomas gave me a couple of tickets while they stayed at the hotel I worked at. I'm still scarred from that game.

The Good

I've seen bad Viking teams including one run by Les Steckel but it's hard for me to recall any time in 51 years watching that the run defense was just flat out embarrassing like this.   I can't ever recall watching my team and feeling what I have felt in recent weeks as other teams not only run over us but drag our weakling defenders along with them for big gains.   It just turns my stomach, literally.

That's the real kick in the nards---busting off runs is one thing .  Actually getting run over or drug for multiple extra yards is peewee football bad.

One of my favorite memories came from Bud's first year. 20-20 tie with the mighty Colts. First real sign we were turning the corner. Biggest heartbreak - too many - but the first was Super Bowl I. I should have known then....

Both wins against the Pack in '09 when Favre was the QB; especially the one in GB were really fun games.  The 9ers win when AC went off and the Vikings D was dominent.  Really a great playoff win on that one.
