Fascinating. The Vikes fans I know were mostly into alternative scenarios; what if the refs called a good game, what if our offense has just run into teams who are playing their best defense when we played them, etc.
I find it hard to believe that they get loud and front run. How does it manifest?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
That is 90% of the 'queen fans. Started to see their gear out and about when Rodgers went down. Then the FB posts went through the roof as they were assured a playoff spot then a bye. Now I pissed a shit ton of them off after last night by simply telling the truth. F Them if they can talk shit and can't take it or if they can't accept reality that their HC got worked.

I've never see anything like this Cleveland sports bar where the browns and steelers fans just yell at each other all game long (this was more exciting in the early 2000s when Cleveland actually could win a game). Everything that went wrong for each team was loudly cheered by the opposition. When they played each other it was absolute pandemonium and sometimes fights broke out. The bouncers didn't stop the fights, just directed 'em out the door and let the cops deal with it (But they didn't call the cops so most often they didn't show). Often guys would return bloody, order some more drinks and just pick up where they left off.

This story sounds like it could have been from some long, by-gone era. Say Roman Times, outside the Colossoeum, some dive watering hole. An oarsman from Pompei is pissed because Tiberius Rex didn't defeat the Son of Vercingetorix. He then gets in a knock down drag out brawl with some local masons who mocked him for bettin his last sestertius on the clearly over the hill Tiberius Rex. They knock one another bloody in the alley outside and then stagger in for another amphora of cheap wine.
This doesn't happen, pb. Not in my experience. I guarantee you that most Vikings fans have already said "well, it was bound to happen sooner or later" and have moved on.
It's kinda like Browns fans claiming to have hope for the new season. That usually lasts about a quarter or so of the opening game.

The worst part for the Vikes fans is that all the stuff here that's in their faces about the Super Bowl and to get that close to being in it, it's a constant reminder for the next 2 weeks. Plus the Iggles fans will be coming to town in about a week or so, that's going to be awkward as well.

Drink in the schadenfreude my friends. I really couldn't have designed a finer ride for Vikings fans. First they beat the saints in a miracle to bolster any feelings that God might be on their side this time. Then last nights beatdown. Now comes the best part: fans get to go home and see their city invaded and decorated in Eagles shit for the superbowl. Can you get closer to being literally conquered in the NFL? No you can't.
