The Vikings have a top 10 winning percentage in NFL history, but have never won the superbowl and the most playoff losses

The thing is they are rarely if ever bad or trash(at least for an extended period really) but they never win the big game. They also have some of the worst playoff losses in history like SB 4, 98 NFC title game, 00 NFC title game and the 09 NFC title Game

Another thing is they have only had one great QB, Frank in the 70’s. Or one year of Favre in 09 if you count that. So it’s a consistently well run organization, they just choke in January.

They suck in the winter

The Vikings have an all-time overall record of 523–435–11,[a] the highest regular season and combined winning percentage among NFL franchises who have not won a Super Bowl, in addition the most playoff runs, division titles, and (tied with the Buffalo Bills) Super Bowl appearances.[10][11] They also have the most conference championship appearances of non-winning Super Bowl teams, with them being one of four (along with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams) to appear in a conference championship every decade since the 1970s.

It is insane they haven't had a legit franchise QB since the 70s

Daunte was supposed to be the one but he blew his knee out

when thinking about this the first few things that come to mind are Bud Grant losing the big games (had to google. breh lost 4 of them)
and 1 of most iconic play in nfl history....Old Man Willie running that INT back

They were huge favorites in SB 4, SB 3 was still thought as a fluke win by the Jets

Basically had the Bills rep before Buffalo lost 4 straight.They kind of took Minnys shine so to speak in that department.

That was all Dennis Green's fault for that

Yeah that 1998 lose to ATL was crushing that was our year

The 2009 Bountygate loss to NO was tough too, probably win it all that year too
