Could have the Vikings played their way to the Super Bowl?

With the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, I feel like the Minnesota Vikings could have just as easily played their way through the NFC playoffs into the Super Bowl. Does anyone disagree?

The Giants win at the Dallas Cowboys was impressive, and it was something the Vikings weren’t able to do in the regular season...But the game at Green Bay seemed like it would have favored the Vikings. Basically, I could see the Vikings in the position of the Giants: making late game interceptions and missing field goals until they finally make one. If the 10-6 Giants were able to maneuver their way through some tricky playoff situations, I could totally see a 9-7 Vikings team doing the same...if we could have only beat those Redskins! Now for the question if the Vikings could compete in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots… that’s another issue entirely.
