A Great Run of NFC North Titles 2011-2014

On the bright side, the last time we lost the division we ended up winning a SB! The last time the Vikes won the division they lost in the NFCC in hilarious fashion! History is on our side!

absolutely great run.  I just wish that it ended by someone being lights out good and beating us at our best. anyhoo if they can't rally in the playoffs this year, hopefully the powers that be make some great decisions this offseason and we start another great run next year.

Definitely a great run. The fact that they won 3 division games on the road and lost all 3 at home is mind boggling.

Their home dominance the past several years has been a major key to their success. Losing all three home games to divisional opponents is hard to stomach.

Yeah, every utterance of "the Vikings have caught up to the Packers" leading up to and following this game really should be corrected to "the Packers fell back to the Vikings." But I won't hold my breath for any asterisks on the banner that's sure to mark this historic occasion at the new stadium.

The vikings caught up because their offense score 13 points just like the Packers.

I hate the Vikings. I hope Seattle rips their hearts out. They can hang all the banners they want in their shiny new blue steel bowl and I'll still hate them. 

Plus these ain't banners

It was a good run.  I think they may have another run in them if the right tweaks are made and some holdovers can come back healthy. 

These last 10 games were enough to definitely shake your faith a bit in the Pack's leadership and decision making processes, but there's still enough talent to build on that the ship can be righted.  I don't think large overhauls of coaching and players are needed, but there will need to be some significant tweaks. 

4 Division titles, dominating the division teams is great.  2-4 in the playoffs during that stretch is not that impressive to me.  Draw your own conclusions.

From 2009 to 2013 the Patriots won the AFC-E and had a 4-5 playoff record.

No one asked you to be impressed. Maybe you should be a Bears fan. They are on a long streak of missing the playoffs.
