1970-1979 | Great Losses 

A 28-7 win if i remember right. Went to the Ice Bowl later that month.

That was revenge from the game 2 weeks before, the Rams beat the Packers 27-24 in the last minute in an incredible game

I became a Packer fan in these years.

That was really the key playoff win that gets overshadowed by the Ice Bowl. George Allen's Rams beat the Cowboys and the Packers and were rightly considered to be the best team in football that year, but the Packers were still the champions of the league. The only comparison since then would be the 98 Chicago Bulls who were aged and depleted but still were the undisputed champions.

As Vikings fan Lombardi best coach and Starr best quarterback hands down

I think those other coaches would agree with you.

Shula was overrated Chuck Noll better coach and person Shula was arrogant he could not win Super Bowl with Dan Mareno

Don't forget about Halas!

​mark hall. For a viking fan saying that. I applaud you. Thanks dude

More relevant than Tarkenton was the Purple People Eater defense with 3 Hall of Famers in Page, Eller and Krause and a handful of other legends on top of them. Those were stacked teams. Almost makes you feel bad that they never won. Almost.

Vikings trade for Herschel Walker is still the worst trade of all time, worse than Watson. At least the Texans didn’t immediately turn into a dynasty from what the Browns gave up.

He was the Biden of the NFL.

He was a bad NFL coach. Gale Gillingham sat out a year because he refused to play for such incompetence.

That’s putting it nicely

How in the heck did that guy win a championship in ND. ? Half that team were Aras team he recruited but still.

I also wonder what would have happened if Jack Vainisi didn't die, and took more of the GM duties in the 60's from Vince so he could concentrate more on coaching. If Vainisi kept up his eye for talent even into the late-60's, maybe their 1968-91 run of futility doesn't happen.

Worst trade in Packers history. I think it set up Bart Starr for failure and it set up the Rams to be a powerhouse the rest of the decade. There’s no free agency and only a handful of decent quarterbacks back then. I think they should’ve tried to trade with the Giants for Fran Tarkenton in 1972. QB trades were rare in those days and I’ve always wondered if the Vikings had competition for getting Tark back in 72. I also think Tark would’ve kept GB greatly competitive throughout the 70s and they wouldn’t have had to trade all those draft picks for Hadl and an almost as terrible trade for Lynn Dickey
