I get it, but this game came down to noo pass rush and no coverage on Evans.

Tom Brady had time to read a book in the backfield on most plays because pressure was almost non existent, while Sam Darnold had one or two players in his face all day.

If we have Horn and Deonte the Panthers win, plain and simple. You can’t always make lemonade out of lemons. Not saying Wilks should get the job but not many coaches are beating Brady with the corners we started.

How many coaches continue to leave their CB on an island against Evans when he's already gone for 2 TDs?

He's meant to be a defensive coach - a secondary coach no less. Make a fuging adjustment.

Fire fat fitt while you are at it.  You trade cmac.   You trade for Henderson and you don’t trade burns.   You are one dumb motherfuger

To be fair, trading CMC was the smartest thing he’s done since he’s been here. The haul we got for him allows us to even have a chance in this draft to move around.

This was an unbelievably GUTLESS call by Wilks.

4th and a foot and you punt when you have a freight train like Foreman who can crash in there and move the pile OR even Sam who is pretty good at QB Sneaking for a yard.  

This is the moment where Wilks lost any shot of being the Head Coach of this team. 

Completely agree. This is where the resemblance between him and ‘Ole Ron showed itself. That conservative poo doesn’t get you anything but .500 year after year.

We had 8 QB hits and 3 sacks. That’s not terrible. The problem was our secondary was banged up.

Wilks has earned criticism and we should undoubtedly exhaust all options in our coaching search but some of you are delusional and not consistent with your expectations for both sides of the ball. The Bucs are a talented team they are going to get on the board sooner or later. You guys that think we are going to the playoffs holding talented teams to 14 or 17 points are just nuts. Our offense has to start putting up 30 points and more.

I said Wilks would have to win the division to get the HC job and even then I really didn't like the idea.

Today he showed exactly why I don't want him as HC as much as I like him and the players respect him.

4th and inches, 4th and short.....you got to have faith and go for those at midfield.  This game was all about keeping the ball from Brady because you know your secondary is very, very weak.  Instead I think we threw the ball too much and we didn't go for it when we needed to.  Simple as that.  I also think we should have gone for a touchdown instead of the field goal at the end.  Would have made a difference?  Not sure, but you score that touchdown first.

I hope Wilks sticks around, maybe as DC - but I even question that as the D hasn't been as good in the 2nd half of the season.  Maybe Asst. Head with secondary responsibility?

WTF is wrong with this group? I thought we said Darnold and Wilks were our  answer last week?  All of a sudden they aren’t? This fan base is poo! 

Well Sam did alright (for the most part anyway).

It was Wilks who failed to make the proper adjustments in-game that were needed.

Like putting a safety over the top on Evans who just burned them TWICE for a TD.

When I saw they were not going for it, I knew we weren't going to win.

I mean...these games ARE the Panthers Playoffs here.

Win or Go home, so to speak.

They seemed to have forgotten that and now...They're going to be home after next week. 

 

It should've been 4-down territory (all hands on deck) at that point. 

You had Foreman (a freight train), Hubbard (who is can make the first tackle miss), and even Sam who could QB Sneak with the best of them...

Going conservative is the same as a Prevent Defense :  It Prevents you from winning.

 

And kicking the FG instead of going for a TD? 

Yeah....I did not like that call at all either.

You get the TD, then who knows how things shake out....maybe the Bucs call a different offensive play and the Panthers stop them?   Maybe one of the other Bucs players fumbles the ball and the panthers recover?

      Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
