So, if you're KOC...

Outside of resting injuries that could become serious, everyone plays rest of season. Its been proven again and again, teams having starters taking weeks off  come out rusty and lose in the playoffs. Most important month to win is December - which usually translates into January success. You don't want to roll in to the playoffs after losing two of your last three or worse case - losing all three.

Play everyone against the Giants, then probably reduce Dalvin and Justin's snaps by half against Green Bay and Chicago.

Its not like we’re hitting on all cylinders. Lets do that before we rest anyone.

I'd like to see this offense not look inept for long stretches in games.  I know they put up 39 in 30 minutes or so,  but they are the same team that couldn't put up a single point in the first 40 minutes of the game,  and had recently been manhandled by the lions.

This O needs to be able to out up 35+ these last 3 games before I dont consider them a playoff liability.

they need to play for that 2nd seed. Vikings need home field to make a run.

If the Vikings play SF in the second round @ USB, they have a chance.

Vikings vs. SF @ Santa Clara?



Play everybody.

If they aren't 'hitting on all cylinders' by now, its not going to happen. Rest starters for sure the last game, maybe even a few the game before. Not the Giants game.

I agree they aren't "hitting on all cylinders" and haven't "hit" on all cylinders all season.  I think this is who the team is: keep it close and win at the end.  If you can't keep it close, and you're playing a good team, then you can lose big.
The comeback last week was historically awesome, but it also means the Vikes were getting blown out by a fairly crappy Colts team.  I'm  fairly certain the Vikes would've rather not have to set the comeback record to win that one.

Rest guys who need it now period...Doesnt mean on the shelf till Jan, but it might mean fewer snaps/game the rest of the way. 

I would accelerate that plan if/when they lock up their final seeding.

I say play everyone now then consider resting some players or cut back based on circumstances the final two weeks.  Right now, we need to work on consistency on all sides of the ball vs Giants.
