I hate the falcons obviously but lol bucs

We were all sick of Rivera being unable to adapt in the modern NFL, why in the world would we stick with a guy in the exact same mold who is just a poor man's version of Rivera. Wilks is an awesome human being, loved having him here pretty much the entire time he was here. Great leader of men and secondary coach. Despite it leading to a HC opportunity I thought he was in over his head in his year as DC here, but he did do well as interim HC. He was just never going to be the long term guy here. His style is just too old school. I prefer that style of football, hard nose defensive oriented game with special teams and time of possession focus and ground and pound on offense. I wish it was still around. But the modern NFL has adapted and coaches need to adapt with it to have success and win. Belichick who despite being a cheater is one of the top 3-5 HCs ever and dude ran the pats into the ground lately because of this same thing -- the game has passed him by. Wilks too. Just because Tepper has made even worse decisions since then does not mean that hiring Wilks permanently would've been a good move. It wouldn't have been. Our ceiling would've been occasional 10-11 win season and playoff berth and getting run off the field by elite teams in the playoffs but with most seasons missing the playoffs. Better than what we've gotten under Tepper sure but still not what we should be striving for.

Darnold/Wilks took over and damn near got us to the playoffs.

 

He loss to Tom Brady lol with the playoffs on the line.

 

We had a good thing and Tepper blew it up for a damn midget QB.

got us to 7-10 and that was largely the D and running game. we did not have a good thing

Sam Darnold gonna fug around and win MVP.

 

And I'm I'm gonna fug around and bring back my old post saying we should have kept Sam Darnold as QB.

 

Dalton is balling tho. I like him.

Sam was solid here for the first few weeks before McCaffrey got hurt then the wheels came off. He could easily fall apart in MN too, and reality is MN has elite offensive coaching and personnel including the best WR in the league. Sam has been great and credit to him, I like him, but based on what we had seen from him here letting him go was not a bad decision. Honestly Dalton so far this year has looked better than Sam ever did here -- small sample size of course and Dalton is much older but still I have no regrets about letting Darnold or Mayfield walk.

He is a rental. Which team in their right mind is offering up a 1 or 2 for rentals these days?

Id be shocked if we got a 3rd

You're probably right for the Chiefs but he's really not necessarily a rental for any team that acquires him. The guy gets open at will and any team could use him. I know people here are low on Donte for some reason but Donte absolutely had the value of a 2nd round pick so we basically gave up a 2nd for a "rental."

I honestly think we keep him and extend him though. He fits really well in Canales' offense.

I see this point, however if you are a 4-5 win team in cap hell, devoid of talent and can get a 2nd for the 1 year rental u got for a 6th I think you consider it. Its gonna he hard to resign him in the off season.  

But that 2nd could easily be pick 64. I’d want at least pick 50 or better for DJ. Chiefs 1st is honestly fair value especially with them being desperate 

Out with the old. Shaq has been a good long time Panther, sad for him but this isn’t too impactful on the team in the mid/long term. Hurts our already bad D this year but oh well

He was a big part of the problem but the front office and Tepper contribute as well, despite the temporary solid play

Bengals were favorites despite their record, they have superior talent particularly on the offensive side of the ball 

Nah dude they have Butrow and chase not much else. Taylor is a terrible coach and will be fired this year

I mean what else do you expect from a bunch of practice squad players.

It was such a winnable game. The Bengals are trash we just beat ourselves with some help from the refs. 

Cut this Therman dude before the clock hits zero. fuging loser

Even when we know they are running the ball every play it’s an automatic 4+ yards every time. Embarrassing D today

What kind of horseshit is that? Delay of game and then refs offer to the HC to call the fuging timeout after the fact ? Such nonsense.

C'mon D. Let's force a 3 and out

Or give up 12 yards per rush

Way to many drops today…not Daltons fault

True but he was definitely much better last week, has had some poor throws today. I wasn’t expecting him to continue to play that well, so I’m still very happy with his play as he has been solid today too

I really can’t think of a single one? AT is as sure handed as they come in the NFL he just has a very limited ability 

Is this a white WR thing or something? Dude is incredibly talented, he’s lost a bit of a step due to age but he has never had “very limited ability.”

and I looked it up, he had 7 drops last year, 5% drop rate. Not terrible by any means but not the most sure handed guy for us anyways. In MN he was better with 3 drops total in 21 and 22. It might just be us lol.. and as I type a drop from Mingo

Technically AT is sure handed. But we haven't drafted one in a looooooong time.

Ehh Thielen has had his share of drops I think. He’s mostly pretty reliable but we don’t have any automatic catch guys

edit: also I just thought of this but remember we had Jason avant? Dude went like 7 straight years without a drop for Philly, comes here and immediately has like 3-4 drops if I remember right. We are cursed to have poor hands on this team lol

He is quite literally the only guy at that position that isn't a flaming dumpster fire.

Yeah as expected when you look at the roster lol. I have no issues with Clowney I think people just had too high of expectations for him due to name recognition. He’s not an elite pass rusher, not even much better than average. Overall an above average DE as he is a plus run defender but he’s not a sacks guy and hasn’t been since college. Way better than anyone else we have obviously but that says more about our roster than Clowney 

We haven’t had a sure handed receiver in a decade.

also coaching has been a joke today, fuging delay of game on 4th and short  before a FG

Man, Clowney is less than useless. Why were we excited for him again?

Odd timing on this post 

Bout fuging time baby!!!!!!!

What a trade robbery we pulled off

I actually think it was a win win trade. Donte is balling for the Steelers’ elite D

Ok Diontae. Need another quick stop badly but we’re not out of it yet. Such a frustrating game of missed opportunities, bad reffing. We should be winning handily
