What Wilks needs to do to win the Job?

I think it just depends on how the team looks. The next 4 games are against pretty bad teams with maybe the Lions being decent. If he crushes terrible teams like the Saints and loses to mid teams like the Lions and get crushed by good teams like the Bengals and whoever we play IF we make the playoffs then I don’t think he is a definite. 
It will be interesting to see how we play the Steelers who are having a pretty bad year. They still tend to hang around with good teams. I’m not sure this weekend is a win, but what do I know?

Steelers have the second or third worst online in football and a rookie QB. Our defense should shut them down easy. As long as we don’t fall into the trap of playing down to your competition.

About Wilkes:  I like the guy.  He seems to have the demeanor and I am guessing, his year in Arizona taught him a lot.  Although he is a defensive coach, the offense has been better and the defense has been pretty dominant.  If we win 7 or 8 games, he will be getting the full time gig.

Become an offensively minded coach from another coaching tree.

I don't think he can do enough to justify keeping him. If the new coach wants to interview him them great. If not then it looks like he has done enough to juatify staying in the NFL after this year.

Literally nobody is saying that.  But again, if you seriously think this is a sustainable method of winning vs quality teams, then I have a bridge to sell you.

There is a reason this offense has folded against any semi-decent defense it has played, but continue to tell me how I'm wrong.  Blame it on whatever you want but the fact is 24th in the league in PPG is not good.  If you think it is, then there is nothing more to discuss.  How many teams can you name with a winning record in the last 3 years that finished 24th or worse in scoring, which is where the Panthers rank since Wilks took over?  

It ain't about running the ball.  It ain't about passing the ball (but you absolutely have to do better than 200 yards per game).  It is about putting up points, which we don't do very well.  But prove me wrong if you disagree.  Name me some winning teams that finished 24th or worse. 

Titans are 27th this year, but they also have a -35 point differential (terrible, just like the Panthers -30) and have feasted on a god awful AFC South (jeez... who does that remind you of?)

This board really loves to pretend that having a rushing based offense leads to Super Bowl wins and that throwing the football is just a meme. Of course thats why Ladanian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson (the two best RBs in the 21st century) are ringless and Drew Brees has a ring.

Steelers are also the only team remaining, except maybe the Bucs, that have a good rush defense. 
Steelers are a weird game. Our offense doesn't match up well it’s their defense but our defense matches up well with their offense. 
I predict another low scoring affair.

Playoffs for us are pretty much set. We’d be the last division winner and play the top WC, which is Dallas. With 2 game differences and 4 games left, it’s almost a given we’d play Dallas. Philly plays Dallas but they already beat them and their other 3 games are easy. If we beat Dallas, we’d likely have to go to Philly.

Trevon Diggs is licking his chops if he has to play Darnold again.

Trubiusky will most likley draw the start. Pickett is in protocol.

Both aren’t good NFL QBs yet. We know what Mitch is and Pickett isn’t ready yet. I love Tomlin but he suffered from what Nagy did in Chicago last season. Got a QB early in the draft, gave all the important reps to some journeyman QB who should be a backup, and then threw the rookie into the fire anyway.

    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
