Vikes thread!

[Steve-o]

I heard radio guys talkin'/speculatin' that Dan Campbell is the kind of coach who would play his starters in the last game regardless of whether or not it has any bearing on the final standings.  Lots of folks love his "full steam ahead" approach and it has served his team will.  Only time and changing circumstances will reveal what happens in the last game.

For our part, if the Vikes can't improve their playoff standings in the last game, I hope they don't play starters.  They have a really good starting team, but it doesn't seem like they have a lot of depth.

If the Lions have clinched the #1 seed, go ahead and play starters in Week 17.  They'll get a bye on Wildcard Weekend.

If the Vikes have to take their team on the road for the first game in the playoffs, I hope they rest their starters in Week 17.

  Even if things stay the way they are all the Vikings have to do to win the division is beat Detroit by 3 pts because Detroit only won by 2 in the 1st game. But I think that would most likely make the Eagles the #1 seed because of they'd have a better divisional record. Although the Eagles do still have 3 games left in their division, after they play the Steelers this week.
