Hey - without a past, you have no future.
Look at all the teams that have storied histories, they're still capable of fielding solid teams and having better odds of going to the SB than those with losing pasts.
Vikings have not appeared in the SB since 1976, and that trend will continue when they get their butts kicked by the Saints.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
This century the Cards (losing history) have more playoff wins than the Cowboys (winning history). Storied history really doesn’t mean much, out here in the present Dallas’ o-line couldn’t block an artery and they got their butts kicked, and yeah maybe the Vikes will lose next week but the Cowboys won’t even be playing.
