NFL Network Presents The 2009 Minnessota Vikings Missing Rings

[APviKINGsz28]

'09 was our year in my opinion. We had arguably the greatest offense of all time in '98, but our mediocre defense combined with the defensive injuries we suffered in this game would have made it extremely tough to stop a very high powered broncos offense in the superbowl. '09 we had a very balanced team, but we fumbled away a superbowl ring that year against the saints in the NFC championship in my opinion.

The best part about Gary Anderson's miss? Getting drilled by a Falcon player after the kick and not getting a "Roughing the Kicker" call. Kills me to this day as a Vikings fan. This was the year for Vikings football and we made too many arrogant decisions in this game. We tried running the score up with less than a minute going into half time and Cunningham got stripped of the ball.

@TheRealMoeRock Yep - Couldn't agree more.

@gfscarface13 I don't think you undersand how much different the 98 vikings were compared to the 09 team...this should have been a "book it" type of trip to the superbowl. this broke my heart along with 09, I feel like it's going to be forever until we get back to the championship game

Being a die-hard Falcons fan, I was happy to see my team go to its first super bowl. I was 2 years old when this happened, and don't remember watching the game. But my heart truly breaks for Vikings fans. You have had some tough breaks and deserve to win at least one super bowl. I am sorry for your losses, both 1998 and 2009. Believe me, you'll get there soon. Dont lose hope.

Denver Minnesota would of been the GOAT. Denver would of beat Minnesota but at least they would of gave Denver a game unlike Atlanta. Atlanta would of 2 maybe if Eugene dosen't think its important 2 pay a undercover cop 4 sex. My heart breaks 4 u Viking fans. Hope to see u guys there soon.

@gfscarface13 Not gonna happen this team is way better .

[VikeFan284296]

This sounds bad, but all these losses and everything we've had over the years will make for an incredible Super Bowl win if we ever get it. It's not like we're the Packers who are always at the top or the Patriots who have so many bandwagon fans or the Steelers. Us winning now would mean more to our fanbase than any other fanbase with maybe the exception of poor Buffalo.

Yep. 2009 was way worse than 1998.

The 1998 team, they had a chance to put the game out of reach.

The 2009 team, they were in position to win it with one kick with one running play up the middle, but Brett Favre got greedy.

Boy Atlanta sure got its revenge on Minnesota after the 1991 series. I remember after the Vikings lost one of my friends said this is probably how the Braves fans felt after game seven. Kudos to the Falcons but man that loss was terrible.

That was sad! im not a vikings fan at all and i got all misty eyed. Sometimes its just sad that really good players never get the ring, like dan marino.
