Great Vikings back then.Don't think players are the same anymore.These were the golden years to 2000.

Whenever I've thought of that playoff game in San Francisco in 1988 over the years, I've always just called it "The Anthony Carter Game". And it really was his game!!

Kramer sure threw a sweet ball!

As a Viking fan since 1964, I am all smiles.....

'Pulled off' a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys? Yeah, and I 'pulled off' giving my wallet to a mugger.

BEST franchise ALL-TIME ...... SKOL .....!!!!

Amazing

I can't remember who said it, but my favorite quote about Randy Moss towards the end of '98 was that he had two speeds "here he comes and there he goes".

Man I wonder what happened to Dallas when they traded hershal Walker

Does my memory fail me, or did Bud once say he drafted Darrin Nelson ahead of Marcus Allen because Stanford played on turf whereas USC played on grass, and since they were moving into the dome, he thought Nelson was the better choice? If that's true then add one more reason why moving indoors was an unfortunate event. With Allen on the team the Walker trade never happens.

1987 is one of my favorite "modern day" post Fran Tarkenton Viking seasons. I remember the Thanksgiving day win vs the Cowboys. Great playoff wins vs the Saints and 49ers. If Darren Nelson just catches the ball in the NFC Championship game it would have at the least been first and goal from the one yard line. And if they beat the Redskins they would have beat the Broncos in the SuperBowl. They had a great team that year. A solid offensive line, a dominant defense, good receivers, a competent quarterback, and a link to their past in coach Jerry Burns. No running game though. A huge missed opportunity for a championship. Then came the disastrous Herschel Walker trade and 30 years later they still haven't recovered.

Vikings 4 ever

Funny Viking fact, Cris Carter only led the Vikings in receiving yards once, with like 600 yards. Then Jake Reed always edged him out, then came Moss.

Did I hear that right, Jerry Burns served as the Vikings Offensive Coordinator for 18 years? Vikings haven't had the same coordinator for more than a year or two since then. God bless Coach Burns! I sat a few seats away from him at a game a few years ago.

The POS Walker was the worst thing that EVER happened with the Vikings!  Even worse than losing 4 rings.

Does anyone else remember when Fran Tarkenton got pissed and threw the ball and hit an official in the back? I can't remember who they were playing or what year. I've been trying to find that video for years. Anyone else remember this happening??  I'm beginning to think maybe I imagined it.

I love Tommy Kramer! #9

The Vikings "pulled off" the Herchel Walker trade? Now that's funny.

Chris Carter-"All he does is catch touchdowns"

Best Minnesota team ever put together 1998. Much better than any of the Superbowl teams that were not even competitive. Yep! They blew that one too. Only team I feel more sorry for. Buffalo.
