The amount of people who don't understand blowout losses blows my mind.

 

Canales didn't lose the players here. It was a bad game. They happen in this league to literally every single coach. We beat the Patriots during their dynasty era. Fairly handily. Nobody claimed Bill got out coached by our staff.

If you give up on the rookie head coach 4 games in, maybe football isn't your sport.

 

Bryce came in during garbage time and executed a couple of nice passes and got junk yardage. And once the field shrank, he was right back to the Bryce we know. He wasn't put in to appease tepper. He was put in because the game was lost and getting Andy hurt would be dumb. He got hit all game. Plus Bryce got game reps. Easy decision.

Despite Canales iterating and reiterating that point, look at the articles, the fans, the locker room interviews with the players, it is all that bullshit.

I’m still completely confused. What happened to trying to keep the other team’s offense off the field when your defense showed that it had no business on the field? When they were down 14, they played like they were down 21 in the 4th quarter.  Down 14, or even 17 in the first half is not insurmountable by any means, but the play calling sure looked like it. We WERE (past tense) getting 1st downs, until…

This was Canales feeling himself way too much IMHO. When the desperation passing game to second and third stringers wasn’t working, he double downed. I thought he himself said we would be primarily a punch you in the mouth running team? Not once did he try to slow the game down. He tried his best Payton impersonation. 

Well, we were landing liver shot after liver shot. We took haymakers, but we were doing damage on their core, until ego kicked in and we wanted to show that he could rain down haymakers as well.., only every time we got countered straight to the jaw. 

DJ played the defense like a fiddle. Why wouldn’t he? He’s knows the scheme inside and out, left, right, sideways, upside down, center and askew. He knows tells and tendencies. He knows the calls and formations. If there were any carryover from the Reich offense… guess what… he knew that too. 

Any chance of the D doing anything with all the circumstances involved was a pipe (crack pipe) dream. DJ headed up film study all. Week. Long. 
 

So yeah, our only prayer of it not being completely humiliating was to ride our horse and keep wailing away at that liver, and then pride took over. It looked almost narcissistic…

Canales mistake was leaning on Evero with a lead to keep the game close and wait for Caleb Williams to make a mistake.

Until the Panthers find a better DC the game plan should always be focused on scoring 30 points

How anyone can look at the talent on this defense and find a way to blame the DC… Lol

Injuries and level of talent are not excuses to be a bottom of the league DC. DC is the most important person on the defensive side of the ball as they put players in position to make calls and plays. Evero could have top 10 talent and he would field an average NFL defense.

Young was holding the offense back and Evero is holding the defense back. People are willing to hold onto these franchise destroyers for years before admitting the obvious.

Snow was terrible and he did more with less in 2020 than Evero has done in 2023 or 2024.

At our healthiest this roster was going to have to play above it's head to compete. Then you decimate it with injuries.

What did you expect? 

Agree, we replaced what 6 of our 53 man roster, not practice squad, ten days before the opener. How anyone did not realize that was a bad sign is beyond me. Now the D is decimated with injuries. IMO we have no idea what kind of coach we have.

defense looked like they were playing base coverage all day yesterday. It’s why there was so much space across the middle between the first and second levels.

Criticize evero all you want, but it’s never looked like THAT. that generally means the players you have can’t handle anything more complicated. The same thing happened in 2010 when the whole defense was injured and I don’t think anyone is gonna claim fox couldn’t coach defense. 

offense looked like they had no idea what was going on. It was reminiscent of week 2 against San Diego. Just no idea what do do against the bears defense. Bryce got all the blame for that performance and rightly so, especially after the raiders game, but it’s looking like Canales doesn’t know what he’s doing either.

maybe the panthers thought mike evans came with Canales? I dunno.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
