The 2011 Minnesota Vikings edition of NFL Yearbook was on this week. Boy, it was terrific. As with everything that NFL Films produces the NFL Yearbooks are terrific. The optimism in all 32 editions is infectious. This time of year is filled with hope for all teams. The Yearbooks simply add to that hope.
The Vikings were 3-13 last year. Record-wise it was one of the worst in team history. You'd think that they were a play away from the Super Bowl after watching their Yearbook. They really weren't too far from being a decent team. Nine of their losses were by less than a touchdown. They would have been a great team if many of their games ended at the half. 5-0 would have been a nice way to start the season and the Vikings were so close to doing just that. The NFL is all about momentum.
Even in sad years there is some good. There has to be. The NFL Yearbooks do a nice job of picking out the good. That alone is reason to watch. Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Jared Allen, Kyle Rudolph, Chad Greenway and even Christian Ponder is reason to watch. I may even watch it again.
