I've been a Vikings fan since 1968.

Painful?

I should've leapt onto a bed of nails years ago.

Welcome to Football Hell, Atlanta...although you gleefully pushed us into the lake of fire back in '99.

Best Viking game ever? Joe Kapp leads the guys back against the HATED Rams, and that overated ‘Big Oak Tree’, Roman Gabriel, in the Dec. ‘69 playoff game!

Actually it was John Sununu who recommended Souter.

Certainly a historic comeback and great win for the Patriots, but if not for the woeful Falcon coaching staff decisions, the Falcons would have won the game in regulation. They just made too many bone headed decisions.

Two things they screwed up on. First, when the Falcons had an 8 point lead in the fourth quarter, they had a 2nd and 11 WITH THE BALL IN FIELD GOAL RANGE, and the offensive coordinator called a pass play. NO, you don’t pass the ball there. You run the ball a couple times and then kick the field goal and go ahead by 11 points. But no, they tried to pass and got sacked and eventually out of field goal range.

The second screw up late in the game was that, for some reason, the Falcons were running play after play with as much as 15 seconds left on the play clock. They should have been running the play clock down to 3 seconds on every play. Had they done that one thing, they could have denied about 50 seconds of clock time to the Patriots.

At least the Vikings do have one NFL Title.

A mere technicality.

Just before the merger.

Hank Stram, Len Dawson and his AFL champion Chiefs matriculated up the field to a humiliating Super Bowl loss for the Purple People.

I know, but I always like to trick people up with the question on how many NFL Titles the Vikings have.

Actually, not such a bad night for Georgia. The great rookie receiver for the Pats, Mitchell, is a former Georgia Dawg!

Matt Ryan is not a leader that Brady is, and it showed. Brady talks to the other players and fires them up. They feed off each other’s passion.

But Ryan really did run out of gas and didn’t rise to the occasion.

As a diehard Raider fan I would never have thought of rooting 4 the Patriots
Not after the Tuck Rule. Yet I found myself plucking down $20 at a casino in Reno on the Patriots. You don’t bet against excellence. What a game. What a QB, coach and owner.
