**Title: Why Your Vikings Keep Sucking (In the Nicest Way Possible) – A Love Letter to Disappointment**

—

**The Cycle of Disappointment: Raising and Shattering Hopes Since Forever**
Let’s cut to the chase: Being a Minnesota Vikings fan is like dating a charming but chronically irresponsible partner who keeps you in a romantic tango of hope, followed by a brutal slap of reality. Whether it’s Week 1 or the playoffs, the Vikings have perfected the art of *almost* giving you a win before slipping back into their usual chaos. Love us… and then? Yep, *sucks*.

This isn’t just a season or two of letdown—it’s a legacy. For proof, just tune into Drew Magary’s *“Why Your Team Sucks”* series, where the Vikings always score a front-row seat in the “most soul-crushing sports essay ever written.” Magary’s annual takedown isn’t just a rant; it’s an eulogy for every fan who’s ever Googled, “Why am I doing this to myself?”

### **The 2022 Season: How an 8–8 Team Became a Masterclass in Mediocrity**
In 2022, the Vikings entered the season with a roster that had *barely* avoided the cellar the year before (8–9). You got it.). Miraculously, they clung to a division title—despite having the league’s least reliable QB (kidding, *almost* joking about Kirk Cousins)—and then proceeded to lose a meaningless Wild Card game like the stakes weren’t high enough. You’d think this would be a win, but Vikings fans know better. It’s like winning the “Least Likely to Succeed” award at a talent show. Congrats!

### **2019: The Year the Vikings Invented “Historically Bad”**
Let’s resurrect 2019, the season that Warren Sharp analyzed with the precision of a data scientist dissecting a black hole. The Vikings clocked in at **12% success rate**, making them the *absolute worst* team in NFL history since 2000. That’s right—686th out of 686 in his metric. They didn’t just lose games; they lost them with flair. The *least* you could say: “Meh, they’re better than 0.1% of NFL teams. Wait, no…”

### **Why Do We Bother? The Psychology of Viking Pessimism**
This is the eternal question fans ask on dark December nights: *Why the hell do we keep watching?* It’s the same reason you keep hitting refresh on a dating profile of someone who’s clearly into your friend. Maybe it’s loyalty. Maybe it’s Stockholm syndrome. Reddit sums it up perfectly: “They force you to *eat lies* every off-season.”

We binge free agency gossip, draft picks, and training camp headlines, only to realize by Week 17: “Ah, yes. We’re back in the *lower tier again*.” It’s a love-hate relationship that would make Shakespeare weep.

### **Drew Magary: Chronicler of Our Pain**
Drew Magary doesn’t hold pencils, and his *“Why Your Team Sucks Vikings”* edition is the NFL version of a therapy session. His annual roasts aren’t just critique—they’re eulogies for every fan who’s ever found him yelling at a screen. As one Reddit fan put it, “You can feel the damage they’ve done to his soul as a fan.” And yet, we return to his scathing essays like clockwork. Maybe because he gets us better than the Vikings front office ever will.

### **Conclusion: Vikings Fans—The Champions of Commiseration**
So here we are, again. We cling to Aaron Rodgers coming to town, Kyle Rudolph’s mustache, and the eternal hope of a “hungry” defense. But deep down, we’re all aware: the Vikings exist to remind us that hope has a half-life of one off-season.

**So, here’s your mission, should you choose to accept it:**
• **Share your most excruciating Viking moment in the comments.** (*Was it 2017’s fake field goal? Or the 2023 OTA “good news” that’s never actual good news?*)
• **Read Drew Magary’s annual *“Why Your Team Sucks Vikings”* piece** – it’s required reading for the masochistic at heart.
• **Find solidarity on r/minnesotavikings and r/NFL**—where memes and existential despair flow freely.

**Final Thought?**
Love the Vikings, and keep loving them. Because what’s life if not a collection of bad decisions? We’ll laugh about this in 2024. Probably.

The formula is clear: Take one part determination, two parts denial, stir with hope, and serve icy-hot disappointment. Bon appétit, Vikings fans. You’re all in this mess together.
