Absolutely zero chance Wilks is retained if the Steelers blow out the Panthers at home.

This is why I held off on the hype for Wilks until his team was put in a crucial game and more crucial situations. Just like always with our history of defensive HCs, the defenses crumble in these situations. Even in 2015, our defense always allowed the other team a chance to come back from behind. Im sick and tired of defensive HCs. However, Im still prepared for Wilks to be the HC next season anyway. Its the panther way to continue mediocrity.

Darnold isn't good but you can't blame this game on him at all.  Is he the answer? No, but the Steelers also aren't a good team and we don't need the answer at QB to beat them.

I blame this game, right now, on red zone play calling. That was such a stupid idea to run Darnold

    • Coker has certainly earned it. Good for him.
    • I don't think we don't call things aggressively, for a Canales offense, anyway. We don't have a QB who makes aggressive throws nor stresses defenses downfield. He is at a career low on 20+ attempts per game and his career 10-20 QB rating is abysmal.  That will always be a limiting factor IF you are looking for a high flying, downfield offense. I am not even that concerned about it, I just want to see effective offense and we decidedly do not possess that. A large chunk of that is Bryce. I think the second biggest chunk is Canales. All the other components(XL included) are fairly minor in comparison to those two things. I am an advocate of attempting to improve at QB. I am not focused on finding "The QB." We failed at that with Bryce. So let's just get better. If that's a one year vet or a draftee or a cheap trade or some combination of any/all, we should do that. We have to get that QB better. Bryce will fail in 2026 and we need to have REALISTIC options to take over when that happens. That ain't Andy Dalton or Hendon Hooker or Jack Plummer or Mike White or....you get the picture. Be serious about hedging that Bryce bet and not just having to make do if he struggles or gets injured.  My mind is definitely made up on Canales. It's year two and he hasn't improved much, nor do I think the bones of a good HC are there. Ron Rivera got to that point after two seasons and he was open about the changes he had to make and advice he got to make that leap in year 3. If we don't see the same after next year, how is he not just Brian Daboll?
    • Not really buying it because T-mac faces stiffer competition week in and week out.
