I’m sorry, but until the Vikings start losing Superbowls again, I’m not going to pay any attention.

When I moved to Minnesota, the Vikings were losing a Superbowl almost every other year.

The Vikings had appeared, at that time, in the Superbowl more times than any other team, and lost every single one.

That’s the sort of record to be proud of.

The Bills have also lost 4 superbowls tieing the Vikings for the “Losers of the NFL”.

I will say this, Vikings lost most of their superbowls to teams I would consider dynasty teams. I think in 1970 they played the Dolphons who supposedly to this day had the only perfect season with absolutely zero losses. They lost to the Chiefs I think in ‘74. They lost to the “Steel Curtain” in ‘76 then to the Raiders with the late John Madden as coach in either ‘77 or ‘78.

The Vikings and Bills are tied for most Super Bowl appearances without a win at 4 losses each.

The Broncos and Patriots are the teams with the most SB losses at 5 each. However they both have winning records in the SB.

Since their last Super Bowl appearance, the Vikings have instead made losing the NFC Championship Game an art form. They have lost six of them, one behind SF, tied with GB. (Those other teams have managed to win a few of them, too, but not the Vikings.)

Bring Bud Grant back.

He's still alive and would make the players stand for the anthem.
