Absolutely - that would be the best scenario.

I'm sorry. Prayers for you and your family.

I think Wilkes regretted the extra time off after the Seattle win. He changed his approach since then. It’s all business right now.

This is the answer. There will be times the next 2 weeks that Sam will have to lead this team out of trouble. If he can do it, give him an offer.

I was told Stroud folds under pressure. He has looked stellar the times I’ve seen him pressured this game.

There were 2 really good WR screens in the Lions game. The Shenault screen almost went the distance.

Our running game and screen game is starting to open things up down the field. Darnold took advantage a few times last weekend and will need to do the same tomorrow.

What would you consider a good record for a coach that had 3 different starting QBs in the same season and had to overcome the hand he was dealt? IF we make the playoffs and win the South, he deserves STRONG consideration.

If Wilkes finishes the season at 7-5 after Rhule started 1-4, you need to give the man the job. Then tell him we need to get a good young QB to pair with Sam, who also would have proven himself by QBing the team into the playoffs. Does not mean he gets the job long term, but would likely start the 1st game next season.

Just survive this game and we might be ok.

If we win the division, it means Sam played well through some tough moments. In that case, we may not be looking for a top-10 QB. This does not mean we will not take one with our 1st, wherever that falls, or a 2nd.

I went back and watched the DET game again. Sam missed on a few throws, but most everything he threw was a dime on Sunday. It is almost like aliens abducted him and turned him into a good QB. I guess strong OL play and a running game can do that for a QB. Not sure he can take the next step and make it happen when the opponent KNOWS he has to throw. I imagine we will get a chance to see that at some point in the next 2 games.

The Athletic Power Ranking and a funny comment about Foreman 21. Carolina Panthers (6-9) (Last week: 24) Win out and the Panthers complete one of the more improbable playoff runs in recent memory. If they’re going to beat Tom Brady and the Bucs this weekend, they may need to rely on a familiar face in the form of Josh Norman, who was signed to the practice squad after emerging star Jaycee Hornsuffered a broken left wrist during the 37-23 dismantling of the Lions. Meanwhile, did you know only Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry and Nick Chubbhave more 100-yard rushing games than D’Onta Foremanover the last two seasons? Wait until the Niners hear about this guy.

It was definitely a weekday game. Maybe MNF.

Agreed. And, not to disrespect what our TEs have done blocking for the run game. I appreciate that, but we need a receiving threat at that position.

I bet Olsen would be more effective than any of our TEs right now.

The good thing is, Brady does not have the protection to drop back and throw it deep too often. His OL is held together with Scotch tape right now.

I am sure every team does some version of this.

This feels a little like when Cam came back. Hey, that worked for 1 game. Maybe this can work for 2-3 games.

That was a game of 2 of the worst teams in the last half of the season. If the Panthers are really heading in the right direction, they will win. If not, we don't deserve it.

This crap seems to be made for TV every time.

That's the way it was going to be anyway. We need to win 2 and finish it.

Even if TB wins the Div, they are old as dirt at a lot of spots. Their time is almost over.

TB has suffered some key injuries tonight.

Here we go. Been seeing this same stuff since 2003
