All-time Favorite Vikings Moment

[Funkytown]

I went to a game in like 95 (Moon was QB) and it was against the Saints and we basically won the game on a last second end zone throw to Cris Carter. Maybe it was Quadry? Anyways... that was insane as it got.

Thanks for sharing something unique--not Moss, Peterson, or Greg Lewis. Wish I got more from people. Even after reading through some of the comments left on another post like this, it's odd how many people have the same few plays in mind when considering their favorite. I know that some of us are fairly young fans, so we think of Moss and Peterson a lot--but dang. What the heck? I've gathered that some people have been fans for 3 or 4 decades...it's a little hard to believe most would still have the Moss, Peterson, Greg Lewis stuff as their all-time favorites. I mean, obviously, they are awesome, but when I think of "best moment" I think beyond one simple play. Sure, mine was a play...but in all actuality it was more about the experience of being at the Dome. If I had watched it on TV--it probably wouldn't be my favorite. What I'm trying to say is: If in over FIFTY years of being a team, there are only a handful of GREAT moments, that is rather depressing.

An all-time favorite moment could be a play, draft pick, firing of a coach (lol), the feeling you got when you first walked into the Dome, meeting a player, rubbing a victory into someone's face, etc. It could be any number of things. I don't think people are really thinking outside of the box with this question. Some did, though. And it was cool! Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Thanks again for sharing something different. And thanks to those who shared something a little personal! That's what I was going for!

Melanie,

It's hard to tell with some of the user names as they are not necessarily gender specific. I used this one since DH may want to come in and lurk around, but BBs are much more my thing. I do, however, pass on any tidbits I find

Are you speaking in code here or what? lol Totally lost me.

Plus, I've been up for about 29 hours straight. Don't try to make me think.

Great thread, I like the back stories too.

Definitely! And thanks. I tried.

For some reason I repressed the memory. But I think that's where they broke me mentally.

Sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat screaming "GET BACK GUYS".

You don't look so bad, here's another...

[Funkytown]

I'm not even watching that. You bully. lol.

People get so upset about that. It was devastating sure, but how far would we have gotten in the playoffs?!? Couldn't even beat the Cards. Come on. I remember it, but I don't lose sleep over the deal. What a bizarre season. Either way, NOT a favorite moment. The Cards...ugh. Unacceptable.

That would be awesome. I'm pretty sure it is after they reviewed the play. After the ruling was confirmed they played the SKOL chant and I was on. I think that's the order it happened.

I forgot to reply while i was on my computer but search for 'unhappy bears fan' in youtube.

Was that the season we started 6-0 and then missed the playoffs with that loss?

Sure was. We started off hot, got cold, then did an every other thing for a bit...then lost to the Cards like that to end our season. I think they had like 3 wins coming into that game. It was a crotchety memory no doubt, but I'm not sure we would have done much in the playoffs. We were too all over the place that year. With that said, it's still a depressing way to go out. So close, but so far away.

At least on the bright side, I am sure you can make a video like this for most franchises.

That's probably true. There are a few franchises that have had some hard times in their history--with no happy endings to ease some of the pain--like we do.

I haven't decided if it's easier to be a fan of the Vikings--or of a team that hasn't even made it close. It's probably easier to be a fan of a historically bad team, though. Lower expectations help some!

No. I wouldn't admit to that.

I'm the one in the vikings t shirt and the black hat at the end. I'm right on the aisle. I ran 40 rows down right after Lewis caught that ball and stayed there till the end of the game.

Big props to PurpleMustReign.

Look at the directions when you click on "youtube". Only paste the video ID string, that's the part after the v= in the URL. Don't worry, took me a second to figure it out, too!



There yezzir, now everyone can creep on you real quick.

Thanks Melanie,

I was 10 years old in 1995 (shows my youth, albiet, coming to an end) but that stuck out to me. My Dad worked for this company that had corner endzone box seats. The whole experience was great.

Recently? It wasn't an epic game or anything but I was at the 49ers game this year we won. I went expecting a blowout, and just to cheer on Moss. Me and my friends got a little pre buzzed at the LRT station and I didn't really care so much. Scoring a TD on 4th n Goal on the opening drive was just insane.

I feel ya on the getting older thing.

I was at that game, too. Honestly, I went to see Moss too! Of course, the Vikings are the main reason, but that game was a must-see because I never got to see Moss play in purple. I had to go, assuming it was my last chance. Glad I got to see him play AND the Vikings dominate. Too bad he wasn't part of the domination in purple. Oh well. It was a great game. Shocked everyone--that's for sure!
