I really don't get why everyone at every forum I go to hates the Vikings so much. And I especially don't get this quote that I see a couple times every week.

I'm assuming you mean the 49ers and Ravens game. I don't call it luck when we dominate the first 50 minutes. Now I know the game is 60 minutes long and we blew the last 10 minutes but football is a team game and the kicker is part of the game and fact of the matter is, our kicker came through while theirs didn't. We deserved that win and got it.

As for that 49ers game, we had a long field to go with very little time and if the 49ers were the better team that day, they should've been able to easily stop us. One sack or a big play would've derailed that drive and we wouldn't score, our offense was just better than their defense that drive.

Of course luck plays a big role in every game, I'm sure you could go around to every team and find some place where luck plays a role. As for this game, luck played a role for the Steelers. That terrible tripping call, the deflection right into the Steelers hands. They're a good team and all the Vikings fans I know will admit the Steelers made the big plays when it counted so they deserved the W there. So I can't see why everyone can't give the Vikings their due credit and say their 6-1 record is deserved.
