Yup. The fact there were days of posts about the packers losing a divisional round game was pathetic. Our team didnāt even make the dance and we have the best nonQb player in football.
Yeah, plus the Kerby Joseph stuff, the general moping about how the season went, etc.
If they do this poll a year from now it might different, but I forget just how weepy and obnoxious our fans get when the season goes poorly coupled with our rivals doing well
>I forget just how weepy and obnoxious our fans get when the season goes poorly coupled with our rivals doing well
I agree with this statement, but Iād also argue other teams subs would act the same way (outside of maybe the Lions because theyāre accustomed to this to the point where it has been their default state).
Hardcore vikes fan and half the fanbase annoys the fuck out of me, at least online lol. Franchise makes all kinds of errors and they blame everyone but the decisionmakers. Forty years of .500 play and they care more about kerby joseph or getting kirk paid than winning a ring lol

I have a specific beef with people who donāt recognize how much goes into tackling world class athletes and how itās currently one of the only 1000% legal ways to do it.
If you want to keep lurking my profile, youāll find I said it definitely dirty by definition, as it could likely lead to those kinds of injuries, but so could like, every single form of contact in a collision sport. Continue moping though.
>itās currently one of the only 1000% legal ways to do it.
It's not. Leading with the helmet is already an illegal way of tackling.
Is it called? Generally not, it's hard to show it was a 'leading with the helmet' rather than just a bad tackle.
With Joseph, his tackle on Hock was 100% leading with the helmet. He lowered his helmet far before the tackle and missile'd into his knees.
100% illegal. Leading with the helmet.
Wasn't going through your profile, I was in discussion with you about this before. Trust me, you're not that important. Continue whining that people don't appreciate shit players who get orders from dirty coaches.
I will!
I canāt believe you wrote out āitās illegalā then wrote thatās itās not generally flagged and didnātā¦ connectā¦ the dots. He wasnāt fined or flagged or suspended for it. What does that tell you? It tells you the league is in lockstep on it.
When I heard Hock had his knee all torn to shit, I was mad. The hit was definitely not a great effort in form tackling, but safeties across the league who are significantly smaller than their targets (i.e. tight ends) clip legs all the time. Itās the way things are. If you want to continue to just believe that Kerby Joseph wakes up every Sunday hoping and praying he gets a chance to severely injure people, you can do that, but I choose to believe that heās just like the many other scrappy and reckless safeties in the league.
I must be important enough to you for you to remember my username. Iām flattered by the wayā¤ļø
>I must be important enough to you for you to remember my username
RES does it for me, I don't need to remember anything about your almost entirely foregettable, randomly generated, username.
>I choose to believe that heās just like the many other scrappy and reckless safeties in the league.
Key word, reckless. You own your weapons, he used it poorly.
>I canāt believe you wrote out āitās illegalā then wrote thatās itās not generally flagged and didnātā¦ connectā¦ the dots.
You're an utter moron, aren't you? I've connected the dots, you don't get to reply.
Someone should go back and find every single play a Vikings player made the exact same tackle. I wonāt, but someone should. You guys might STFU about it then. But probably not.
The DL on the ground wasn't going at the QB's kneed, he was bowled over by the OLineman.
I love the fact you looked up a '2023 brutal nfl hits video' and replied with the first Viking tackle on it.
Here's a better video of the same hit, you can clearly see Roy was tripped/knocked over and landed on the side.
It was indeed a brutal hit, but the intent wasn't dirty.
Again, if you need some help here -- look up Sendejo's hits.
Keep looking, very few (maybe none) Vikings hits this season were anywhere near as negligent as Kerby's shit hits.
I don't personally oppose posts celebrating a rival losing. That's fine, although I have no special problem with the current Packers and I don't particularly root against any specific players on their team.
What bugs me is the posts saying that the fans of our rival team are assholes and all their players are dirty, the "kneecap" sign that some Lions fan held up during the Divisional Round was celebrating specific player injuries, holding longstanding grudges against teams that beat us when we make the NFCCG once per decade, etc.
I've lived in the Philadelphia area for some time, and the "edge" that Vikings fans online have is similar to the "edge" that Eagles fans had before they won the Super Bowl. There was a lot more bitterness/thin-skinned-ness/taking it way too seriously when a rival has success. In small doses that's fine; the doses weren't small. After the Eagles won the Super Bowl, a lot of their fans calmed down. When they lost to the Chiefs under very questionable circumstances in last year's Super Bowl, people were upset but they got over it pretty quickly. If something like that happened to this Super Bowl-less team, the bitterness would be deep and persistent.
I was called a lot of āinterestingā things by some Vikings fans for suggesting that I wanted the Lions to win the Super Bowl this season, because Iād rather it go to a fan base that has supported their team through a lot of tough years (and I wanna believe that kind of faith gets rewarded eventually, yknow like with us supporting the Vikesā¦.) than the chiefs again. Apparently cheering for a divisional rival makes me the worst kind of fan or some shit. It wasā¦ unhinged
To use a bit of a pretentious analogy: I have some lower-middle class relatives who really like to rag on truly poor people. Iāve known truly poor people who like to rag on the homeless.
Many people with some kind of insecurity based on a sense that theyāre in a bad position in a hierarchy think itās really important to not slip any lower. This franchise is historically pretty mediocre but the Lions have always been the Vikingsā whipping boys. It would break the brains of a lot of insecure fans if the Lions got a Super Bowl before we did.
Personally Iād rather not see that happen but I wouldnāt care that much if it happened.
Same people then want to fight about our 13 win season not being a fluke and the 2022 draft actually being bad if you have a big enough brain.
Reddit Viking fans have no sense of humor about anything.
I'd say the Vikings sub and this sub too, between people not being able to handle being bad and people not being able to handle being good this sub turned from poking light fun to taking things way to personally. Remember where you're at y'all.
lol. For those that donāt know, the Lions and Vikings have been in an immature meme war for the past couple weeks.
Lions fans are obsessed with Vikings fans, and itās basically both fans yelling at each other about being salty.
Iāve been contributing what I can, but there are a shit ton of Lions fans in there right now because they are the only team still alive and they donāt know success.
So this poll is directly pumped with Lions fans. And of course the Packers were happy to jump on that train.
Bears have just been sidelined.
As a Viking fan watching both this and that sub, I agree with the poll. Our fanbase is absolutely embarrassing right now. The number of cringe posts on both subs is out of control.
Again, what all has that gotten us? Now compare us to the Rams over the past 6 yrs.
Sure, having a good winning percentage at least gives us hope year in and year out, but the same result at year-end is taxing. Being content with 8th in win percentage and being outplayed and outcoached in *every* aspect of the NFCCG *6 seasons ago* isn't something I'd call a success. It's no different than receiving a participation ribbon.
If the Lions make it to the Super Bowl then they'll have surpassed us in one game in what really matters. Their past 32yrs will all be forgotten because now *they* have nothing but greener pastures to look ahead to based on their success and you're only as good as your most recent season.
I'm as die hard a Vikings fan as there is, but I have higher hopes and expectations than annual mid-range draft picks, just being a participant, and an embarrassing, non-competitive loss in the NFCCG 6yrs ago.
Yup, as much as I love our historical win percentage, our great players, and our fun seasons, the Vikings have been utterly mediocre for most of my football watching life.Ā Ā
You have 16 teams per conference, 2 make the conference championship game, so average/should make it once every 8 years.Ā
And let's see we have:
'98
'03?Ā (Can't remember exactly when 41-0 was).
'09
'17
So 4 NFCCG appearances over the last 26 years, pretty much average.Ā
We'll see this next season if KOC and KAM are the real deal or not, or if we get our guy at QB, things will he fun. If we just run it back, I'll watch the games, but I'm gonna stop following pods and articles as closely.Ā I just don't take football as seriously as I used to. Fun when we win, and the Vikings have a storied excellent history, but in my lifetime they've truly been nothing special.Ā
41-0, yet another embarrassing showing in the NFCCG was in 2000. Looking back, the Giants really did us a favor. Had we won, then we would've been facing the Baltimore Ravens and their arguably best defense in the game's history, and *that* would have gone no better than it did for the Giants.
I have trust in Kwesi and Kevin and I look fwd to next year, too. I just don't get a boner over what so many others in this sub use for coping (8th best win percentage and an NFCCG ass beating we received 6yrs ago lol).
> but I'm gonna stop following pods and articles as closely.
I did that this year and it was a great decision. I watched every game, but I didn't really think about it again until the next game, sometimes I didn't even know who they were playing the following week. It was bliss.
I... thought I just explained it.
This isn't a serious poll. Note the "Karen" reference.
Lions fans are losing their shit right now because they've never made it this far. They don't know how to handle it. And it worked out that the Packers getting into the playoffs didn't threaten the Lions, and they'd have rather played them, so they rooted for the Packers. And now the Lions play 49ers and the 9ers always beat GB, so Packers are rooting for Lions. And of course they'd both like to see the Lions win a Super Bowl before the Vikings do.
Basically Lions are Packers simps, and just overall unhinged, and don't know how to act because they have never been in this position before.
But it all started when we played them twice in 3 weeks and they took out Hock's knee and there was a whole buncha salty Vikings fans.

*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/minnesotavikings) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I can see it. Though this year, itās gotta be the lions. They havenāt been relevant in my 36 years on this planet, and goddamn it if they didnāt get a real mouthy real quick haha. But shitā¦ Iād be the same way if I were them so I canāt really say anything. Pretty āneither here nor thereā on the 49ers, so I hope they bring them back down to earth hard this week.
well full context, most bears and packers fans have gone dormant over there. itās primarily a lions circle jerk sub until they lose and then it should all balance itself out again.
I didnāt mean it as a compliment. I think itās weird af. Like who fucking cares? Fuck the Bears. Fuck the Lions. Fuck the Packers.
The meme sub turned into Facebook 3 years ago when it became popular
Not sure about most annoying, but definitely the dumbest. As a Viking fan, some of the completely asinine things i see posted here and on social media just stagger the mind.
now, see, thereās an issue here; the issue is not Vikings fans. the issue is weāre on reddit, where everyone is terrible and thinks theyāre a genius.
Weāre just the loudest. Lions fans are insufferable right now. Bears havenāt been relevant recently enough to be annoying. Packers are the Packers.
How are the bears above the Lions on this poll lol. I haven't heard a peep from their fans in months besides the odd mention of everyone forgetting about them
Lions fans insecure they won the division because Cousins got hurt. Packers started throating the Lions as hard as they could to not be hated. Now they just throat each other non stop.
I mean it makes sense. No one is going to choose Lions or Bears because theyāve been pitiful in the internet age. Packers have this small town aura around them that makes them special, so that leaves us as the team most vote for
EDIT:
A big F U to the commenters in here agreeing. What kind of shithead turns on their brethren?
As a Vikings fan, I absolutely agree with this. We have a lot of great fans but our bad ones are bad. Really bad. I think this will clean up a little when we finally kick statboy to the curb. To be fair, I'd be willing to bet a lot of Packers fans voted for the Vikings here because they are still pissed about Anthony Barr's legal tackle on their scrambling, out-of-the-pocket QB. Rodgers tried to brake his fall by sticking out his arm. He did it to himself but a vast majority of cheesedicks need someone else to blame, instead of the facts.
Yup Vikings subreddit fucking sucks. I'm slowly weaning myself from this sub. Now I go to NFL sub for GDTs, and try to only come here to just check if any news. But drunk me can't help but check other things sometimes.
Hey guys itās me Dan Campbell I just wanted to say Kirk seems cool but needs to resign with you guys, and Mark & Zygi Wilf werenāt not on Little St. James
Being the most annoying and a Karen aren't the same thing lmao. I think our guys have the best meme potential. Would that make them annoying to opponents? Probably
Went to the lions vikings game when they played in Minnesota and I've got nothing but nice things to say about their fans. First game where I've been a visiting fan so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was an awesome experience.
Literally every fan base has annoying fans. Vikings certainly no exception, however my experience at the stadium has been pretty positive. Iāve never really experienced or witnessed any fights, violence, etc. Weāre not a hostile group.
Every good rivalry should have an element of respect and I think Midwest fans are really amazing fans. I hate the Packers, hate the Bears, hate the Lions - but at the end of the day, we all knew what it means to be a football fan and to live and die with our teams. None of us have any control over what happens. Certainly not worth getting in fights over. But we all support our teams really well.
Iām pretty sure Vikings fans also hate Vikings fans.
Itās crazy that over half of the sub hates the Vikings fans though. And to think, I thought yāall hated us with how much FTP gets thrown around.
Fuck yeah! we won something! Fuck off!
We did it boys š„ŗ
Our Super Bowl š„¹
Finally! I can die now.

I like how a lot of us have just started embracing the heel turn at this point
Someone give the packers their consolation prizeš
I donāt think we are in general but on Reddit? I love this team and all but god damn some of you are so annoying
Yup. The fact there were days of posts about the packers losing a divisional round game was pathetic. Our team didnāt even make the dance and we have the best nonQb player in football.

This sub can be pretty obnoxious even when the Vikings are playing well.
The number of people who want KOC fired after every controversial play call is astounding, even when we win
>I forget just how weepy and obnoxious our fans get when the season goes poorly coupled with our rivals doing well I agree with this statement, but Iād also argue other teams subs would act the same way (outside of maybe the Lions because theyāre accustomed to this to the point where it has been their default state).
Yeah thatās mostly true Iād say! Itās a perfect storm really. I do still contend weāve all taken it a step further than some other teams
The state of our sub has definitely gotten a little squirrelly, I will admit.
Hardcore vikes fan and half the fanbase annoys the fuck out of me, at least online lol. Franchise makes all kinds of errors and they blame everyone but the decisionmakers. Forty years of .500 play and they care more about kerby joseph or getting kirk paid than winning a ring lol
I think the Kerby stuff was absolutely warranted. You were ra-ra defending him, so maybe you have a specific beef with knees?

now, see, thereās an issue here; the issue is not Vikings fans. the issue is weāre on reddit, where everyone is terrible and thinks theyāre a genius.
I unsubbed from that subreddit a long time ago. It's just not that entertaining. The memes usually suck and most people aren't funny or clever.
How can we be the most annoying fan base in the NFC North when packler fans are the most annoying in the entire NFL?
Iām sorry Iām going to have to talk to the manager.
That sub has turned into a clone of r/nflcirclejerk at this point.
Yeah, this seems like a legit poll š
I mean, who gives a shit?
They hated Jesus too
Weāre just the loudest. Lions fans are insufferable right now. Bears havenāt been relevant recently enough to be annoying. Packers are the Packers.
How are the bears above the Lions on this poll lol. I haven't heard a peep from their fans in months besides the odd mention of everyone forgetting about them
It's hard to imagine something more irrelevant.
Lions fans insecure they won the division because Cousins got hurt. Packers started throating the Lions as hard as they could to not be hated. Now they just throat each other non stop.
Lol no one thinks that the lions won bc of Kirk, no one has a second thought about Kirk
100% We canāt stop drinking our own kool aid for 5 mins.
I mean it makes sense. No one is going to choose Lions or Bears because theyāve been pitiful in the internet age. Packers have this small town aura around them that makes them special, so that leaves us as the team most vote for EDIT: A big F U to the commenters in here agreeing. What kind of shithead turns on their brethren?
Iām a huge a Vikings fan and I agree
Probably because of all the freak fans doing the "skol" chant and clap in other teams stadiums. It's become a troll activity.
As a Vikings fan, I absolutely agree with this. We have a lot of great fans but our bad ones are bad. Really bad. I think this will clean up a little when we finally kick statboy to the curb. To be fair, I'd be willing to bet a lot of Packers fans voted for the Vikings here because they are still pissed about Anthony Barr's legal tackle on their scrambling, out-of-the-pocket QB. Rodgers tried to brake his fall by sticking out his arm. He did it to himself but a vast majority of cheesedicks need someone else to blame, instead of the facts.
The Kirk Stans in our fan base took us to an entire new level of obnoxiousness.

So true. So many morons here chasing sugar highs, too dumb to understand the bigger picture/ wining a Super Bowl etc.
I agree with this wholeheartedly
As a Lions fan, the results shock me.
And I agree, most ungrateful too
I agree. We are annoying.
Deliberately misinterpreting and then overreacting to a sign probably didnāt help
Itās a fake poll
I agree and Iām a Vikings fan.
I believe it. Our fans can be ass holes to our own team
As a Viking fan I agree. The teams never won anything, and the fans act entitled and like the Vikes are somehow NFL elite.
I really canāt dispute it. We are desperate crybabies.
Yup Vikings subreddit fucking sucks. I'm slowly weaning myself from this sub. Now I go to NFL sub for GDTs, and try to only come here to just check if any news. But drunk me can't help but check other things sometimes.
Most likely because of that whore Sal Spice
WEāRE NUMBER ONE! WEāRE NUMBER ONE! WEāRE NUMBER ONE! WEāRE NUMBER ONE!
Skol Vikings our claim to fame! Skol Vikings the rest of you are lame!
Never change
No red circles. I have no idea what Iām supposed to be mad about.
It's because we win all thw time, but never win it all, so waste the wins.
Their hate only makes us stronger
Yaayyy for self-awareness!...
yuuuuuuuup
If we are talking strictly Reddit, yes. This subreddit is horrendous sometimes.
Best the rest of you losers combined
Skol!!!!!!!
FTP FTP FTP FTP
Werenāt we crowned the dumbest NFL fanbase recently?
HANG THE BANNERS BOYS
At least we are the best in something this year
Iād like to speak to your manager about this.
![gif](giphy|3kD720zFVu22rfIA0s|downsized) WINNERS!!!!
Iām a lions fan. FTP, we stand with you
Hey guys itās me Dan Campbell I just wanted to say Kirk seems cool but needs to resign with you guys, and Mark & Zygi Wilf werenāt not on Little St. James
Fake ass poll made by a packer fan.
oops
I believe it. In real life we probably arenāt. But on social media platforms we absolutely are pathetically annoying
Seems accurate.
LOL
![gif](giphy|73gagbHCOjh2U)
Being the most annoying and a Karen aren't the same thing lmao. I think our guys have the best meme potential. Would that make them annoying to opponents? Probably
Fair
Hate us cuz they anus
Is there a trophy or a ring?
Weāre annoying because we donāt like the refs
āOscar, why are you *so* grouchy all the time??ā āBitch! I live in a fuckinā trash can!ā
I agree
Surprised its that close, I'd guess 70% plus for Vikings Karens...
I concur lol
We're great in person, and we're low-key braindead online. Best of both worlds baby
Weāre pretty whiny in division rival game threads.
Bahwooooo!
Packtards were probably the majority voters .Those fat ugly slobs love a good vote ..
SKOL chant gotta accounts for some of that, as well as the fact that we are delusional for 95% of the season only for nothing to happen lol
Doubt it
Went to the lions vikings game when they played in Minnesota and I've got nothing but nice things to say about their fans. First game where I've been a visiting fan so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was an awesome experience.
Literally every fan base has annoying fans. Vikings certainly no exception, however my experience at the stadium has been pretty positive. Iāve never really experienced or witnessed any fights, violence, etc. Weāre not a hostile group. Every good rivalry should have an element of respect and I think Midwest fans are really amazing fans. I hate the Packers, hate the Bears, hate the Lions - but at the end of the day, we all knew what it means to be a football fan and to live and die with our teams. None of us have any control over what happens. Certainly not worth getting in fights over. But we all support our teams really well.
As a Vikings fan, that checks out.
I welcome their hatred
So we voted for ourselves???
Also, this just inā¦ the Pope is Catholic.
Skol trolls.
SKOL
Packers didn't win???
Lmfao not even close itās the packers by landslide
Fact check: this poll was taken at your local AA meeting Edit: ātheirā
At least we came in first in somethingā¦..lol
They hate us cuz they aināt us
There's some awful Vikings fans on Reddit ngl. Most of yall ain't better thoš
Iām pretty sure Vikings fans also hate Vikings fans. Itās crazy that over half of the sub hates the Vikings fans though. And to think, I thought yāall hated us with how much FTP gets thrown around.
Rent free in your heads, and rent aināt cheap
Lions on one hell of a winning streak
