It's crazy to think that the Atlanta game came back to kill us here. Obviously some mistakes in this game late with Ickey wiffing on a pass block, Henderson just completely forgetting how to football, and a questionable holding call on special teams, but it was the Atlanta game. It was always going to be because of how dramatic a finish it was.

If we didn't have Rhule in New York and against Cleveland we may have won those games as well. 

I think Darnold can be re-signed and I think we can develop the core of this team now though. To have a game come down to this against playoff form Tom Brady with Darnold throwing for 300+ and 3 touchdowns with little to no running game, secures my belief that we can be a playoff team with Darnold so long as we get some help in weaponry.

You throw a rookie like Levis or Richardson on this team and we are back to winning 4 games while giving up an opportunity for guys like Mayer and Hyatt who have a chance to be real stars in the NFL.

The defensive coordinator calling the exact same play every single play is his first choice at DC and was the guy he brought to Arizona. You’re lying to yourself if you think he’s the guy to turn this team around. I honestly get it though, we’ve seen utter trash for so long that fans are okay with us continuing to suck but with a local guy who at least embraces our culture. Just don’t pretend he actually knows what he’s doing.

Where did you see me say Wilks is the guy to turn the team around?

To his credit, he did a remarkable job given the sh-t sandwich of a situation he was handed. I have a load of respect for him.

But did he earn the full time job?

I'm my opinion, no.

Some of us clearly were on record as liking his character but thinking he lacked what was needed to be a top flight Head Coach.  If you saw the decisions made/not made today and feel differently, that's fine.  I thought it was his worst coached game as far as in game decisions and stategy. As many of us have said, grett guy, but basically an equal to slightly lesser version of Rivera but from Charlotte.

This x100.  He proved today that he has no clue on strategy to take a team to the next level.  Can he set culture, sure, but his decisions are terrible when it comes to scheming and adjusting.  This is all on him and he will not be named the full time head coach.  He literally pissed that away with his conservative crap today.  You have nothing to lose by playing to win, yet you play not to lose.

Really well said and I’m in agreement.

Oh so you all hate Wilks now?!?!

I liked him until today. Lights got too bright and he proved he doesn't have what it takes. This Panthers team is better than that Bucs team and we lost. Too many inexcusable decisions made. I'm happy we played a meaningful football game in January for the first time in forever, but he showed that when it comes down to it, his coaching just wasn't good enough. 

Do I think the team could run it back and win 8 or 9 games next year, sure. But if that's the ceiling, what's the point.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
