electro's horse

honestly pretty amazing drive.

might have looked different on television but he was a tackling machine yesterday. I think the big thing with him this year overall, especially over the past 3-4 games, is he's looked hesitant and I'm kinda suspicious he's injured. but he played fine yesterday, again from the stands at least.

Specifically, there absolutely is a talent gap between the panthers DB depth and Pittsburgh’s WR depth. Steelers just poo WR and very few teams can match them DB-WR. generally, not sure how you can watch yesterday and say there’s not a talent gap. Sure looked like a more talented team beat a less talented one yesterday.

Horn was fine from what I saw. “don’t get beat deep” is the hallmark strategy for a team with poor depth/talent in the secondary and that’s exactly what the panthers are.

Like I said, I don’t think they have the personnel to make the adjustments.

Seahawks just last week.

I wrote this on another forum that isn’t panthers specific so pardon some of the ”no poo” observations The lack of radical or desperate in game adjustments, that frankly the panthers don’t have the personnel or coaching to make, make me think Wilks has been told he has the job I was at the game so some details might be off here but it’s based on what I saw from 126. Steelers called a perfect game to take advantage of the panthers weaknesses. On defense they played cover 1/0 and dared darnold to beat them. As I can recall he only went deep twice; one was a badly under thrown ball to Marshall, and the other was to Marshall and drew an end zone PI. On offense, they did what a bunch of teams have done with their run game against the panthers which is head to the outside. Panthers are bad at contain; burns struggles when the ball is run at his side, and they don’t really have a good DE opposite him. Additionally, the panthers can’t cover wide well with their linebackers; just not a very fast group. The previous two problems are so bad I wouldn’t be upset if the panthers went LB or DE in the draft, pending what they do with coaching/qb to make matters worse, the Steelers feasted on the panthers fifth string DB. Keith Taylor jr should not have been single covering anyone, but I don’t think they have the personnel to make up for it. Chinn (played well yesterday) was needed in the box, and woods is garbage. Pretty clear that strategy was just to not get beat deep and hope the blitz could get trubisky. They only completed one deep pass, and that was an uncalled OPI (and a badass catch on top of that so I’m not upset) Anyway, the panthers never panicked and changed anything. The panthers played like they understood their weaknesses and limitations, and that they aren’t changing that this year, to say nothing of halftime. Sorta struck me as the actions of someone who’s had a conversation and been given some assurances. You’d think if Wilks was feeling like he’s gone with a loss he would have changed the game plan, limitations be damned. they would have gone for it on fourth down in the red zone, or taken more deep shots or something. And in a better situations there are definitely calls I question, but it is what it is right now. if another team limits turnovers and takes away our running game it’s going to be difficult for the panthers to win. The players aren’t on the roster. We play fox balls and frankly I think that’s the right move for the team right now. Anyway that’s my thought on the situation

I actually think he coached today like he has been told he has the job. conservative game plan, Steelers came out and played better, didn’t go nuts because his qb is Sam darnold, etc

How did no one get this

The blood of Chufk Knoll is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of The Steelers that the Rapist Roethlisberger survives. I was there Zod. I was there twenty six years ago, when the strength of the Steelers fell. It should have ended that day, but the Steelers were allowed to endure.

Does this breakdown adjustments the panthers made after halftime

gotta beat the teams on your schedule. if beating those teams make the panthers suck, what does losing to them do?

I’ve got the paint brush hat and still have all those coins they used to give out at the beginning of the season

Mays is going to be great. I watched him play in person. just a big dumb redneck who loves hitting people.

love seeing a clean pocket any qb could step up into and sam immediately bailing anyway

Imagine how short Rivera's tenure would have been if he hadn't had Luke out there covering for him.

maybe. Teams absolutely do things like that, but the Bengals were limping at the time and you'd think, especially without Chase, that was a game they could win. and if it was really just punting to worry about next week, why fire the coaches? besides the obvious fact they sucked.

First half they were high-low'ing him pretty effectively. Not sure how they were scheming to get him into those situations. Also I get that Lockett is a very good, shifty receiver but Chinn looked hesitant out there. Still made a big play in the fourth quarter, but they need to get back to what they were doing his rookie year.

you okay, bruh?

I'd really like to know what happened in that game from a coaching perspective. heads rolled afterwards. would love to know what those two hacks had done prior to that.

he's getting about as many targets as you can expect with the way we're running the offense now. I think he's a stud in the making but we'll just have to wait until we hopefully upgrade the QB and OC

He’s coming back.

Are you guys ready for the biggest offensive drive of darnolds panthers career? /wrists

Chinn just got run over. He must be hurt.

Chinn is struggling tofay.
