Great stuff thanks 

[Panthera onca]

Evero never makes adjustments, he just keeps running whatever the game plan was over and over. He sucks.

[hepcat]

Even casual fans can see these issues but good to see some football voices discussing it too 

[Waldo]

The bad teams couldn't or wouldn't take the obvious approach against the Pa there but most of those games are done. GB will absolutely attack their weaknesses again. It's hard to expect quality adjustments from this crew either.

That should get someone fired. It won’t, but it should.

Weren’t they number 4 going in? 

[PanthersNCSU]

The stat that killed me, and I'm surely misremembering to an extent, but Josh Allen has only completed ONE pass of 20+ air yards since 2024. Andy Dalton had completed 2 in that same time period in his limited games. 

The Bills WR group is average on a good day. Josh Allen doesn't throw/complete passes deep anymore since Diggs left.

So, make that beat you. Trust your corners to cover. Which...Evero will refuse to do 90% of the time. 

Random thought that popped in my head also, but I remember a 3rd and 1 play. Josh watches Horn back off Shakir (maybe?) about 7 yards. Josh throws a quick slant as soon as the ball is snapped, first down. Just a good team and QB exposing our poo. We're so afraid to give up a big play. Which I get, but you can't preach creating turnovers while never taking chances.

Sunday’s game really,  really bothered me

I saw the same tendencies from Canales and the coaching staff that i have seen since his arrival 

it never changes from FO to on the field during Tepper era

we can talk about players

 We can talk about injuries

But the fact is, other than some positional coaches, this is a ‘C’   coaching staff

it shows every  time they play a top 15 team and better coaches

Constantly out coached in game plan and in game day adjustments on both sides of the ball and personnel 

A HC / OC who excels at neither role and

a DC who does  whatever he wants and should've been let go before season start

There are maybe one or two positional coaches who would be sought after by other staffs but that is it    

It is what it is  

there will be at least one more year of Canales and Young   I believe  Evero’s contract is up end of year 

im becoming a lot better with the franchise i loved and supported since inception with ‘it is what it is and will continue to be’

Never underestimate your opponent. Maybe we need them as a coach in someway. Good post.

I think "C" is being generous for the coaching staff. I'd give them an F and that's because there's nothing lower. DC and Evero are beyond stubborn, lack any ability to adapt in game, and can't recognize simple football concepts like play your best players when they're hot or design systems around the players you have, not the ones you wish you had. This is someone the worst coaching this team has seen, and we suffered through OOU with Matt Rhule.

I believe someone posted a statistic in another thread somewhere showing that the Panthers have lost games by a margin of -18 point differential during the Canales area. Essentially, when Panthers lose they get blown out. When Panthers win, it’s by a very small margin. ATL game was an anomaly. Seems like our coaching staff is out coached.
