Vikings Lose, Saints Win NFC Championship Game: Like Charlie Brown, Will the Vikes Always Have Lucy Holding the Ball?

As a long-suffering fan of the Vikes, I sat there watching the last few minutes of the 4th quarter and kept saying to myself, “What if it finally happens? It’s been 33 years. Is it really going to happen this time?” Well, just like Charlie Brown thinking that Lucy will finally hold the ball and let him really attempt to kick it, once again the dreams of appearing in the Super Bowl for the Minnesota Vikings got shot to hell as the Saints win. Twelve men in the huddle leads to a penalty. Brett Farve then throws an interception. Not even a field goal attempt with seconds remaining in the 4th quarter to win the NFC Championship Game to go with all the earlier choking.

But this isn’t the first time the Minnesota Vikings have choked in the NFC Championship Game since the 1976 season, when they’ve snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Instead, the Atlanta Falcons got the chance to tie, which they did, and of course, the Vikings lose in overtime 30-27.

Vikings Lose, Saints Win NFC Championship Game: A Forever Curse of Choking When It Counts?

Why are the Minnesota Vikings cursed with assured choking when it’s time to put up or shut up? Did dissing outdoor home play after the 1981 season cause it? Do the football gods hate the Vikes that much that no matter how close this team gets to a Super

Vikings lose. Saints win: The horror. The horror.
