View Full Version : Sad Story was aired about the 1998 Minnesota Vikings on NFLnetwork this morning
TVFactFan 10-18-2008, 02:09 PM They have this new series called MISSING RINGS where a team who was good enough to be champions during that particular season. They did the 1990 Bills and today was the 1998 Vikes and how everything was set up for them to go to the SB and all because of a MISSED FG by Gary Anderson who had not missed a FG all season missed one in the NFC Championship and could have put the Vikings up
30-20 with 2 min left.
I will say this was defintely a team who should have won the SB in 1998, they had it all
Big C 10-18-2008, 02:19 PM Nobody knows better about the 1990 Bills than me.
That was maybe the best team to never win it all.
How they lost to a dull, plodding and boring Giants team, I'll never know.

Well that's why both the 90 Bills and 98 Vikings have so much in common because a MISSED FG stopped them from being the Champs when they were so dominant all year

the 98 vikes were one of the best teams I have ever seen... My best friend is a die hard vikings fan & I never saw someone as crushed as he was that day.... The falcons were no slouches either @ 14-2 that year, but never did I think the vikes would lose

Was Dennis Green Fired after that season? Because it was defintely not his fault
Big C 10-18-2008, 02:28 PM Was Dennis Green Fired after that season? Because it was defintely not his fault
No- he lasted until 2001.
TVFactFan 10-18-2008, 02:31 PM No- he lasted until 2001.
Funny Statement from Chris Carter about Randall Cunningham stepping in for the Injured Brad Johnson that season
"RANDALL CAME IN AND PLAYED SO WELL THAT I FORGET WHAT INJURY BRAD JOHNSON HAD"
LOL-LOL

The Vikings had no defense that year. They had all the offense in the world, but they couldn't stop nobody. But, like many people that year, the Broncos-Viking matchup would have been more attractive.

Yeah it was mentioned on the program that they had to OUTSCORE Opponents because of the Weak Defense

I am sure that missed FG is still haunting Scott Norwood to this say. LOL
Big C 10-18-2008, 03:21 PM 1998 Vikings were a damn good team, regardless.
(Ask Garfield- the Vikes beat your Redskins 41-7!)
The funny part is that a year later, the Rams won with a just-as-prolific offense.

Randall should have been the starter the following season but something tells me he wasn't
Dutabi84 10-18-2008, 03:24 PM That was the first year I really started watching the Vikings. It was incredibly heartbreaking. I wouldn't say they had no defense that year, it's just that the Vikings scored so fast and frequently, that the opposing teams had lots of possessions.
Wreckless 10-18-2008, 11:10 PM The late '80s Eagles teams, and early '90-91 teams were great, we had the best all around defense- gave up the least amount of points, most turnovers and yards all one year and injuries plagued us. We had great receivers, Fred Barnett, Cris Carter for a little while and others, a great defense, quarterback and running back. The Pats last year, the '98 Vikings, late '80s & early '90s Bills teams. The Colts in 1969 I believe it was, which lost to Broadway Joe's Jets..So many other teams as well.

Please stop talking about the 88-91 Eagles like you were around to see them-lol Come on, you can I say I READ that the Eagles of the late 80's and Early 90's were Good Defensively but not speak about it like you watched it at the time. I'm defintely not going to speak about the 1980 Eagles or Cowboys because I was in preschool
I can say-"I read that those teams were........."
Schmoopie 10-19-2008, 06:12 AM Oh those games with missed field goals are the worst! Talk about heartbreaking!
Andrea

I rather lose by 30 instead of a missed fg at the end-lol
They were a good team, but not any better than the Falcons that season. They likely would have lost to the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

In the most respectful way, please stfu. Just because I wasn't "30" or whatever, doesn't mean I don't know about a team. I told you the deal about the Eagles. Sh*t, you even sold me a dvd with a game from the '87-88 era, who are you kidding lol? who here agrees just because you are not 18-up, doesn't mean you don't know about history, and teams that were around when you were young. you can speak about those, if you watch games from that era, go ahead, it's your choice. I won't get on you if you watch football games from 1980 when you were in preschool, matter fact they had bits and pieces of the game on nfl films the other day, I was watching it- the dallas, atlanta 1980 game.
