First of all I am an eternal optimist.  I always believe we can win the Super bowl...BUT....After the 1998 season I came to a realization that the Vikings are only ever going to be good enough to break my heart.  Before all of you start destroying me I want all of you to know that I still think we have a fantastic chance of going to Miami.  As a matter of fact the way this team has played in the past three weeks is exactly the character of the Vikings that I know and love.  Which is why I think we are closer now to going than we were 3 weeks ago.  Regardless of their record the Vikings will always be the dark horse and play better when they are the underdog.  I was just as pissed at their performance last week as most of you, but there is always the quiet little voice in the back of my head saying "you are crazy to expect any thing else from this group"  Just when I think my beloved purple has turned the corner and might become a popular "America's type team" they lay an extraordinarily large turd that reminds me why I love them. 

Let the bashing begin....
