I think not calling a time out, to save yourself from the delay penalty. On 3rd and 5, with around 6 min to go at midfield, was pretty dumb as well.

Let’s also not forget:

-the Rams game where he neutered the offense because he was scared of getting blown out.

-the Ravens game where he let Baker play the entire game because Sam wasn’t ready yet played excellent against Denver the next week.

-Couldn’t stop the run against Pittsburgh, and got picked apart by Mitch Trubisky.

-Was down 35 against cinci at halftime.

it’s not the coach’s job to impress the players

If the players wanted Steve wilks they shouldn’t have put up yet another losing season 

the players had a chance to have their say and they blew it and now they have will have to impress the new coach or they’ll be looking elsewhere for employment 

i have wanted an offensive minded coach since 2007 when i started wanting Fox gone. 

i was kind of conflicted in regards to wilks because i really like him and i love that the players love him. but, like you said, they blew some games that would have helped secure wilks a full time job. 

it sucks for wilks because i think he's a good coach, but he got dealt a crappy hand here and in AZ. the biggest thing working against him is that he's a defensive minded coach in a league trending towards the offense. 

the players love him, but that wasn't enough to win crucial games. he just didn't pull the best out of them.

Exactly. I wouldn’t be opposed to Wilks if I knew he wouldn’t torture us with Al Holcombe like Rivera did with Eric Washington. 
 

Like I said, don't give him a choice. New coordinators if you want the job.

The QB was not enough to win crucial games...and the 3rd string CB.

My guess is Steichen, Wilks, Reich get 2nd interviews.

I agree. Maybe they'll also bring in one of whoever they liked best between Dorsey/Kafka/Moore as well, but I think this is a Steichen or Wilks race with an outside shot at Reich.

I still don't get this asinine line of thinking. By his definition, only Wilks is "all in" on the Panthers because everyone else we've interviewed has interviewed elsewhere too?

      Trap game

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
