So the Vikings in the 88 divisional round. How was that defense again?
The Minnesota Vikings had one of the best defenses in the NFL finishing with the following stats:
Total yards allowed: 4,091, the best in the league
Yards per play allowed: 4.3, the best in the league
First downs allowed: 243, the best in the league
Takeaways: 53, the best in the league
Passer rating against opposing quarterbacks: 41.2, the lowest in the 1980s and fifth all-time for the Super Bowl era.
I'm not sure that any poor performance against that unit could be considered a choke, but sure. Let's say your pearl clutching is valid.
If that's the case, then your boy Andy Reid lost at home to Brad Johnson in an NFC championship game, and is just as culpable. Another legend in the echelon of the magnificent Jake Delhomme.
I mean, if we're not going to factor two of the greatest defensive seasons on record and put it squarely on the coaches, your boy still has plenty more gaffes than Bill Walsh, who created the offense he's used for decades.
Yikes. Lmao.

Translation: You are making laughable excuses to justify Bill Walsh’s epic choke against the Vikings, while you criticize Andy Reid when he similarly chokes in the playoffs.
Bill Walsh with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice lost at home to an 8-7 Vikings team in the Divisional Round. One of the biggest choke jobs in postseason history… and you are frantically trying to minimize this to save your Reeruned face.
Also since you claim to rank Bill Walsh higher than Andy because of his supposed “offensive genius”… explain why Walsh was a sub .500 HC without Montana or Young as his QB.
Where was his supposed “genius” without the benefit of a HOF QB?
Explain.
