Listening through the press conferences and pressers the day after the game, picked up on some things. Teddy said he needs to be more aggressive and will watch tons of film this off-season. Also said that he thinks he did a good job of doing what the coaching staff "asked of him" and he's ready to take the "next step" for next season. Sounds to me they told him to not risk anything this year lmao, next season will be interesting as fukk
It LOOKS like Mike Wallace is out unless he takes a big pay cut
Next season needs to be the last season of Adrian Peterson in Minnesota. As much as it hurts to say it.

Mike Wallace has to go...
Sign Alshon Jefferies or best guard available, preferably someone who is large and has anger problems.

I don't think the Bears let Alshon walk. Even if he does I don't think we hand him a big contract. Would be surprised if Rick doesn't try to sign a big name OL in FA.
Who else is excited for Trae Waynes though if Newman doesn't come back. Dude looked really good Sunday.

New Season, Same Problem
not a Vikings fan but daps to the OP for the thread title. Thanks Vikings for covering the +6 spread.
What a drop off for Wallace this season. Going from nearly 1,000 yds and 10 TDs last year to less than 500 yds and only 2 TDs this year. I don't know what it was, but him and Teddy couldn't really ever get on the same page. Wouldn't be surprised if he's not back next season.
Newman seemed to be on the wrong side of plays more often than on the right side. With Trae Waynes on the rise, I could see them letting Newman go.
I'm torn on Adrian. On one hand, he's been huge for the Vikings throughout his career and he even lead the league in rushing this year (though it was a pretty mediocre season for RBs across the league). On the other hand, he's on the wrong side of 30, he's proven to be costly in postseason games, he can't be relied upon in 3rd down situations, and Teddy seems to do better without him. I don't know, brehs.
The front office definitely needs to address the saloon door o-line. Missing Loadholt and Sully this season was huge. But even with them in, the o-line never really seemed that great. Teddy does have a tendency to hold onto the ball for too long, but it would be nice if he didn't have to scramble for his life every other play.
