1. KOC will value resting starters over getting the unlikely #2 seed. Starters will play 2 or 3 series and give way to backups. 
2. Nick Mullens will have himself a pretty good day, prompting a mini QB controversy.
3. We get to see some Ty Chandler today. His fresh legs and hard running style a striking contrast to a slowing Dalvin Cook.
4. PJII stands out as the Vikings defense steps up big and holds Nathan Peterman and the Bears to under 40. HO LY balls, the Vikings are back! 
5. Don't see how the Packers beat the Lions.

Pretty much agree except #2, please tell me even a mini QB controversy was said tongue in cheek.

I like it, good takes. I'll add:

1. Viking's fans will still not know what they have after this game. Another frustrating close win or outright loss. 
2. Yep, some starters get rest after playing for a quarter or so. Agreed.
3. Packers beat the Lions, media has a "How Harry Met Sally" type orgasm. 
4. Offense plays better today, defense continues to look like loose dog shit. 
5. Irv Smith coming back means NOTHING on the stat sheet today. Best of luck on your next team.

I am not expecting our boys to be much of a news maker in the playoffs,   so at this point nothing would make this season much more memorable than if the lions were to knock the packers out of the playoffs with a win today.

Agreed. Rooting for that today.

Anything can happen in a divisional game, and the Packers have been playing better recently. I just don't think they're as good as the Lions.

However everything plays out is fine, but I would like to see an opportunity for the Vikings to play and beat the Packers in the playoffs this season.

The Bears could end up with the number one pick

Now imagine if the Lions actually had something to play for.

Going into week 18 the Packers had stolen from us the mantle of NFL's most overrated team. They'd won four straight, but all four were filled with the kind of football that isn't sustainable. And Rodgers is just horrible.  

I feel bad for them.  :'(
