Why give up… why?

That’s what many said about the ‘87 Vikings. They supposedly “backed into the playoffs” with an 8-7 record in that strike-shortened season.

So what happened? Vikings went on the road to play the teams with the best record in the NFL (….not just in the NFC) in the postseason in ‘87:

* beat the 12-3 Saints 44-10, then

* beat the 13-2 49’ers 36-27

Not only that, but they also played at Washington in the NFCCG, and narrowly lost to the ultimate SB winner 10-17.

Jerry Burns (Vikings HC) was short and feisty like Rizzo. Not that it amounts to much, but stranger things have happened. 🤔

Yeah anything can happen I guess. But I just don't see the talent on the roster to make a run at a Super Bowl right now. Maybe it comes down to how much optimism you have left. I'm all out. It's a weird feeling because I'm usually super optimistic until the moment we are mathematically eliminated. I'm just wore out. From the No Call on it's just been a downward spiral for me.
