Say that and rewatch the Pittsburgh game, or the Cincinnati game, or the ravens game.  Same oline, running backs, and coaches.  You cant rely on your running game always working.  You cant rely on your defense always getting stops so you can continue running.  It doesnt work anymore like it used to.  Not with all these elite big play offenses.

We didn't lose the Steelers game because of the offense

Well run organizations do not let employees choose their supervisors.   You may recognize that your own multivariate assessment coincides with the popular opinion of employees but, that is just happy coincidence when it occurs.  If you make the right selection of a different candidate on qualifications, the employees will buy in eventually.

The offense only scored 16 points. You’re not going to win many games putting up only 16 points. While they’re not the sole reason we lost; they played a big part in the L.

As I recall we didn't have very many offensive possessions due to the defense allowing Trubisky to slowly and methodically grind out first downs over and over again.

We also had 4 3 and outs out of 5 first half possessions.  And in the second half, we had 2 red zone trips in the fourth qtr that end up with field goals.  Both the offense and the defense lost that game because the steelers dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides.   Our offense couldn't run, and while Darnold played fairly well when he got time, he was under pressure a lot.  And our defense couldn't stop the run and couldn't pressure the passer, which allowed a scrub like Trubiski to carve us up.

You don't win many games when your defense gives up 11+ minute 91 yd drives.

You essentially lost a whole quarter of football.

Never said players should choose the coach. Said hire a qualified leader of men which Wilkes appears to be. He also has great history with the team and city. He was here when the team had success! I did say  player buy in is important ( see players comments on Rhule). If you get Sean Payton or someone you undoubtedly know is better than Wilkes , go for it, otherwise you are taking just as much a gamble hiring someone unproven but supposedly an offensive whiz (see Joe Brady). If there is someone you know is better than Wilkes....great otherwise you are gambling be it on Wilkes or someone else offensive minded. I have heard from many analyst and pros from the offensive side and defensive side and they all say the game is won in the trenches.

Players wanted to keep grass at BoA Stadium too, as opposed to playing on turf. How'd that work out? 

Hoping Tepper reconsiders that greedy dumbassery! Be nice if owner would make the right decision on the coach and turf.

I'm with you on that, but I think that we should do legitimate research on other prospects before handing Wilks the job.

I don't disagree with that, but also do not want to hand it to someone unproven just because he's "offensive minded"

See:Trent Dilfer. Joe Flacco, Nick Foles, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypien, Jim McMahon, Doug Williams, Brad Johnson. 

Great running game, great O-Line, top 10 defense....can still win a Super Bowl

Of the QB's on your list, only one won his SB in the past decade in the modern pass whacky NFL. By the time this year's SB is played, Flacco's win with the Ravens will be a decade old, before contemporary rule tweaks and offensive philosophies made the pass all but dominant. Everyone else but Foles won their Lombardi in different eras with rules that let receivers get murdered going over the middle, battered at the LOS and as they got into their routes, and protected the QB's against pass rushers far less.

Citing QB's who won their trophies in different eras of football doesn't really make your point, it undermines it.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
