Is there still a case for Wilks?

Wilkes made a great audition tape over the past 11 games. You know what you are getting both good and bad. That is more than you get with most new hires. I think as a head coach Wilkes did well. I think whether you hire him depends on his vision to move us to the next level. But as a leader he did a good job which is to get the most out of what you are given.

I just can't get behind the strategy of punting to the Goat with 4th and inches, its dinosaur thinking and it leads to predictable results time and time again. You have to put good teams away, a division championship is on the line, not the time to play the most conservative game in the NFL.

That and not demanding safety over the top help on Mike Evans at all times after he'd already burnt us deep for TDs twice. When it happened a third time I was like... okay, somebody's gotta get fired for this poo. You know you don't have an active CB that can hang with this guy. Why are you still leaving them on an island with him?

That was probably the worst a single WR had done us since Julio had "that game" on us after we let J-No walk.

I dont mind the philosophy in general but the problem with coaches like Wilks is they will not drift from their philosophy regardless of the situation or who the opponent is. He coached that game with the assumption we would continue to get stops with a beat up secondary, no pass rush, and going against the GOAT and 2 all pro receivers. If you have the 2013 Seahawks defense I can understand punting but we dont have anything close to that

The Bucs had a field day torching Taylor and Henderson on the long passes but it still was a one possession game in the end. I don't think he get the job but you're lying to yourself if you say that Wilks didn't turn this team around to a degree.

Steve Wilks most certainly provides the kind of strong, high character leadership that you want in your organization.

I don't think he'll get the head coaching job, but I'd still love to have him be part of the staff.

Don't really think that'll happen either, but it's possible..

Don’t really see it. The guy is a conservative minded secondary guy whose secondary and defense just got torched. Yeah they were missing Horn but they were missing Horn in the first game too and knew what they had going into this game. The Bucs have been horrible and their vertical passing game non existent and yet Brady and friends had their best game of the year in a critical matchup, that’s not a good look. I never understand having these supposed defensive geniuses whose departments look completely out of whack in big moments like what do they bring to the table. He’s better than Rhule but so what, is that really the standard? Having better than a guy who didn’t even belong in the NFL and isn’t even a good college coach? Sure some players like him but some guys also liked Rhule. Maybe if they stepped up when it mattered I’d care more about that.

I just find it hard to believe he is the absolute best option to have and in the NFL you should always look for the best or else you end up like this franchise. One that settles for mediocrity.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
