Cowboys are usually the team that will find a way to lose. If the other team has the ball at the end of the half, or end of the game with a minute left, they will be down by the goal line to score in 3 plays and in 20 seconds. Dallas might have been lucky back in the stone ages but not the past 10 years or so.....

Hey, you can't talk to a scientologist that way. He's going to tell Tom Cruise and put you on that boat of theirs now.

No no. You don't need to apologize. I apologize. All Seattle fans apologize. I agree that ITS is the stupidest poster on the board. He's an embarrassment to anyone around here that calls themselves a Seahawk fan.

Agreed if the refs were on Seattle's side they wouldn't have called the horrible pass interference call on Kam that last drive of the game.

That wasn't in the same ballpark of luck in what I have witnessed the last 2 games lol. Personally, I hate WR's/TE's begging for flags everytime they don't catch the ball. The defender grazes, or breathes on the WR and they are wanting a flag. Who wants the game to end like that? its junk.....

Pretty much a dead even game with the Vikes having a shot to win on the last drive. Great effort today in those conditions.
ETA: That Griffin guy is ridiculous

No other NFL team has a history of big game chokes/bad luck then the Vikings. And it's not even close.

Everyone remember the wise man and this post the next time someone is dragged into it with ITS. Judge Jury verdict rendered.

Good on ya Hoop. Thanks man.
Offhand, Cleveland has a case, with several of the game's iconic references ("The Drive," "The Fumble") attributed to their squad.

Every team has their good and bad spells. As I mentioned earlier I watched my team not win a playoff game for 21 straight years. 2+ decades of not being close to relevant. I'm not ashamed to say I've enjoyed the past 10 years of having Seattle be a good team. That said, if I had to pick a fanbase that has suffered more than any other its got be Cleveland in my mind.

Yeah another vote for Cleveland
That Anderson miss vs the Falcons was as heartbreaking as they get though because that was a special team.

I think the thing that puts Cleveland over the top for me was Art Modell taking the team to Baltimore and winning a championship. Compounding it was Cleveland getting no love as an expansion team after Carolina and Jacksonville where gifted immediate success with too much help. Cleveland and Houston got no such love when the NFL added them as expansion teams.

So lucky they've been the #1 defense in the NFL 4 years in a row. With that kind of luck they should go buy some Powerball tickets.

The original statement was "No other NFL team has a history of big game chokes/bad luck then the Vikings. And it's not even close."
This answer has to be correct. Not only the three Super Bowl losses but the NFC championships (particularly '98, '09), and '16 events to boot.
The current iteration of the Browns franchise hasn't ever been, nor will ever be in position to choke away a big game.

Was thinking the same thing. 1990-93, four consecutive Super Bowl appearances and losses. The first one 20-19 on a missed field goal.
That's got to be beyond frustrating.

I took his post for sarcasm. That's why I favorited it. I still think it was meant to be sarcastic. If not, it's idiotic.

Checking in late. Only one thing to say. Bud Grant, you are the man. Thanks for being you!

Seeing Bud out there really took me back. Seeing him being Bud by coming out, well on the far side of 80, in a golf shirt, well that was priceless. Way to go Coach!

I didn't know that he personally recommended Russell Wilson to Pete Carroll.
Bud definitely one of the best football minds ever.

Thanks for being classy.
Good luck to you guys moving forward. Hopefully the Vikings come out on the winning side of this when our teams meet in the playoffs again next year.

Some of the blame should go to Captain.. If he Keeps his position, Russel has no chance to rush to the outside.. Instead he ran in towards him, missing the tackle and well, like they say, the rest is history

If Andrew Sendejo could catch...
I don't know the names as I am not familiar with the non-fantasy guys on the Vikings, but you were correct. 24 took an awful angle. If he stays left, Wilson would likely just go down. There were 4 or 5 other Vikings coming from the middle and right. The only escape Wilson had is if 24 takes an angle straight at him and loses the contain on the left. Once he went straight, Wilson had an easy move left and then he is completely out of harm's way to make a throw before getting hit. 21 also shares some blame. He knocks Lockett down and then just completely loses him. If he knocks him down and stays with him (should be easy after knocking him down), it is an easy knock down like that floater the safety got to earlier in the game on a long throw to Lockett in the end zone. If either plays it right, the drive is over as Seattle would be 2nd and 20 or 3rd and 20 (can't recall down). Walsh likely doesn't need to kick one to win.snogger said:Some of the blame should go to Captain.. If he Keeps his position, Russel has no chance to rush to the outside..

21 is Josh Robinson the Vikings 5th string corner. He was playing because both Newman and Waynes were out. Waynes came back to the game later.
Robinson has given up some big plays before which is why he had fallen on the depth chart and had not played much at all this season.

He looked lost. He chased Lockett down, but he just seemed to think Lockett on the ground meant he was out of the play and he looked left to see if someone else was around and then realized too late that Lockett got up and the ball was coming to him. 24 should have just taken a good angle. It was a jail break and there was one exit and instead of covering the exit, he decided to try and hit Wilson and not wait for the hoard of teammates coming from the other sides. I think one of the announcers summed it up perfectly. He said he was going for the big hit instead of just making sure they got the sack. Sort of like Peterson. Wagner had his left arm, so he couldn't secure the ball with both hands and instead of going down to avoid the hit/fumble, he tried to make contact with Chancellor and gave Chancellor the chance to force the fumble. Sometimes a tackle or just the simple first down is enough, especially in a game like this where field position could, I mean should, win you the game.
