cconocool Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I was thinking about the Giants fan breaking down video. I might have cried at the 98 season, but I cannot remember exactly. I remember I took a long run in the snow after the Vikings got walloped by the Giants in the playoffs during the Culpepper/Moss years.

SemperFeist Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’ve lost my appetite, but that’s about the worst I’ve ever felt after a Vikings loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cearbhall Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Diggs taking it to the house did it. The Minneapolis Miracle. Completely overcome with emotion. Too bad the team (again) ripped my heart out the next week. The Anderson miss and that left more of a numb feeling. Not a need to cry. THe FG miss more than the loss to Philly. Also the Walsh miss against Seattle left a bit of that numbness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Completely Numb after 09 but no tears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) No, I don't think so. Tough losses have left me either furious or numb. The Minneapolis Miracle was pure joy and gave me a ton of positive energy to work off--which was good, because I had to go out and shovel snow right after the game. 😄 Edited October 23, 2020 by y*so*blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The last time I cried over the Vikings was when I was 10 yrs old during the Les Steckel year. I've been angry and mad since then, but no crying. There's no crying in football. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Numb is definitely the word; no tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babababa Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Well...this year provided us with (2) 1 point losses -- both of which were gut wrenching. And then the Falcons happened. On the whole this has to be my most depressing season (yes this one) considering I thought they'd at least make the playoffs. Seeing Gary Anderson miss in 98 was probably the closest single cry moment. The whole team choked for not doing enough in that game though. Yeah the aforementioned debacle against the Giants where the Vikings looked like old-old-school Tampa Bay was soul sucking. Really though I was excited after the playoff win against the Saints last January -- so shame on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was in my mid-20s then, so no crying, but I certainly did throw my Vikings' foam bricks at the TV (I wish I still had those). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 After each Super Bowl loss...mainly because I knew I was going to be abused by my "friends" at school because I was the only kid in my class in Richmond, VA that was a die hard Vikings fan. Usually I retorted my tormenter with "at least we were IN the Super Bowl you stupid Redskin fan!!".... Then I would get punched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Completely defeated, yes, but never cry. I'd only cry if we won the Superbowl and at the rate we're going, we'll never have to worry about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I watch football for fun and I don't get serious enough about the outcome to ever be brought to tears. This team has blown it so many different times and in so many different ways in the playoffs through the years that I've gotten to the point where I've almost taught myself to laugh with every new playoff exit. After a while, all you can do is laugh. The only thing that could possibly bring me to tears would possibly be a Super Bowl win while my dad is still alive, but I'm guessing that's probably not going to happen at this point. 2017 was the perfect opportunity to do that, but alas, they went into Philadelphia as the favorites and got their tails handed to them. Whatever. I don't see the Vikings winning a Super Bowl under Mike Zimmer so we are looking at a wait of at least 3-4 years before we are in contention again. No tears. Just sighs.
