I see it all the time with any Minnesota team. The Twins are always better in the fans eyes than the rest of the world. You see your team as 1 interception away from being 7-0. The rest of the world who don't wear the same glasses you guys do, see the team as 2 plays away from being 4-3. It is the reality of it. You guys just don't live in it.
Well of course we're going to see our team like that. Every fan of every team is going to be like that. I haven't watched other teams this season to compare but I'm sure the same can be said about every team. All sports comes down to inches or one play, it's who can take advantage of the play and convert.

Every team should be better in their fans eyes than in non fans eyes. Part of being a good team is finding ways to win and that's why I believe we found ways to win and that's why we're 6-1, where we deserve to be.

Everyone defends the other team when the Vikings win but why is no one defending the Vikings when they're one play away from winning. The fact that I see this on every forum I go leads me to believe that this is more than just seeing things through a different shade of glasses but it's rather everyone's dislike of Brett Favre and the amount of media attention we get. Just look at this thread, the Vikings finally lose and we get a "Poor Vikings" thread yet whenever any other team loses, you don't see a thread devoted towards them.
