No question. This season is over. Anyone hurt shouldn’t be risked for a mop up game.

Personally Id shut down anyone of significant value and get less experience players reps. Even some of the star rookies. No need to play Brown, Chinn, Shaq, DJax, Burns, or even Obada.  No need to play DJ. Samuel you might want to let play just so he can boost his stock in the FA market...I wish we could retain Samuel though.

I want Chinn to keep playing to strengthen that DROY resume.  I have a feeling they’ll still give it to Young, even if Chinn has amazing games the next 2 weeks though.

It’s easy to tell the player and convince the coach if the player is injured but I don’t think they’ll just start shutting everyone down. In week 17, maybe you pull starters in the first half almost like a preseason game. CMC and Burns shouldn’t even dress. Risking any chance at not being ready for next or having future issues should be an instant shutdown considering we are officially out. You have to think that they also know about the draft position. Coaches and active players don’t play to lose but the GM/FO should be thinking about draft slot and protecting players when we are done.

I dont think they will either, but I certainly wouldnt mind it.

He was absolutely amazing yesterday.

Rhule & Snow were telling him before the last sack: "Go back in there and take him down" (Was trying to read their lips)

Burns goes in, and straight up gets the sack and give the chance for a comeback drive. 

This offense needs to come together this coming offseason.  Some new linemen, a TE and most importantly, a new dude throwing the ball.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
