I have been going to Vikings games for 30 years and unless something changes drastically over the last 20 minutes of this game it’s the worst one I’ve ever been to. Nothing to cheer for all day. #skol

As a Vikings fan you should be used to this kind of stuff. After all we were the team that went 0-4 in Super Bowls before it was cool to go 0-4 in Super Bowls. 😉🤣 #skol
I guess we can escape the maga trolls but not the sports ones. How about you you just let people feel good about their teams after a win? (Both of you have packers logos in your profile pic, not a coincidence, ahahaha)
I’ve been a die hard Vikings fan since I was 12. I’m almost 70 and I’m still a die hard fan. You have to take the good with the bad. They pulled out another win!!
Aaron I really enjoy your substack writings. I’ve been following you on X and now Bluesky. Thanks for your political insights.
Remember when Michael Vick was on the Falcons and the coach was all "he has to learn my (west coast) offense" and didn't give a shit about what his talents were?
like the Cowboys with narcissistic Jones. living in Dallas seeing cowboy sweatshirts etc just piling up. No one buying. might as well send to homeless at least they are warm.
Well let me inform you as a #Jets fan
They were winning most of the game but you know what
I had already accepted the outcome
When I read your nonrooting skeet I had already accepted the outcome of a win for #Vikings #skol
Darnold was great ... That year at SF really solidified his NFL skillset and confidence! Gotta love those USC quarterbacks in the NFL. Will be fun seeing Darnold and Williams playing against each other every year 💪🏼
It changed…just be glad you’re not me, a patriots fan. I left half way through the fourth because I couldn’t feel my toes and the idea of 3 hours of traffic versus 10 minutes of traffic wasn’t worth it…we were up 7…
We lost by 1
That's funny I'm a Bills fan. You think you'd have nothing, wait until a drought. My older brother passed in 2014 always wishing and praying it would win.
Still remember Kyle Williams completely trucking seven linemen all the way in for a big man touch down. Wishing that he'd have had more playoffs. Ed Oliver just isn't that good but comparing a bust to a future hall of famer.
As a Seahawks fan we are applauding the Vikes for taking down the Cards!! 10pts or 1 pt a W is a W!! BTW as a former Minnesota resident the Vikings are my back up team if we don’t make the playoffs! #skol
You can cheer for not being a Bears fan. Been one all my life and can honestly say in my 38 years of life my team has been a dumpster fire 95% of the team.
When I was a kid, I didn't have any team allegiance. But I knew what it was like to be the last kid picked in PE at school. So I would always root for the team the announcers didn't think would win...the underdogs. I remember rooting for the Vikings. This was in the 70s.
As a Packers fan, let me bathe in the schadenfreude of your unhappiness.
(No offense, but any team that includes breaking another player's collarbone in a highlight reel of memorable team moments throughout history - even if that player is a jackass - deserves some needling.)
I forgot to turn on football today (my team plays tomorrow) so I checked the score after reading your post* and it didn't seem as bad as all that.

So sorry. I'm a Minneapolis resident. Do you remember that game during the holidays a couple of years ago when they won in the last few minutes? So exciting. I could barely watch.
I’ve been a fan for 50 years. I’ve seen a lot of really bad football and huge disappointments. I was ready to stop watching at halftime, but struggled through. The Vikings need to offer free therapy
At 59 and a lifelong fan, I have learned not to turn it off. Leave the room intermittently or play on the phone to bridge the time but anything can happen. Remember Indianapolis two years ago?
I’ve been a Vikings fan for 50 some years and I always expect the worst,today’s game was no different.This should have been an easy win but in the end it all worked out.
It’s not easy being a Vikings fan.. been watching since we got a tv. But unlike a lot of other teams, we are not fair weather fans! Win or lose, I’ll stand by them all the way!

Chop. Chop.
You know how MN sports end

come to think of it, I kinda wish they would have

Sometimes that's it
Hard to ⌚ 🏈 is hard to ⌚

We are a stubborn bunch aren't we?
What’s not to cheer about?! 🍻😄
Skol/skola means school. So maybe you were cheering to be schooled?
Choke choke choke

Your penchant for suffering feels religious at this point.
I cheer for your reporting, all the way from west coast Canada.
Go Vikings!
Congrats from a Bears fan who grew up in the Twin Cities

At least we have hotdish.
- don’t be THAT guy‼️
🤣
After McCarthy went down I had no expectations, and even if we flame out we can say we won 10 games with Sam frigging Darnold, which is hilarious.
KOC is a QB whisperer.
Hopefully it's smart enough to understand
We good?
