A great o line is definitely rare and it's pretty awesome pff even considers us 11th, just surprised by the stat snippet - I wouldn't really have expected so few pressures, but as stbugs said we don't exactly have many pass attempts. but sacks given up aren't all on the OL. All our QBs have def given some up at times.

So we're #11 despite allowing the fewest pressures, and with our run game performing how it is? Wild.

Depending on where the win probability is sourced from, it may only include the first few minutes of the Bengals game, as our win probability tanked to less than 20% after the first drive, which would make the vast majority of that game be excluded.

The figure seems to suggest it is when a game is between win probability of 20 and 80% for either team. (in this case, not in general usage obviously)

One major problem - "problem" - Sam routinely trusted receivers to make plays when he could have with his legs. I actually think a few of those plays were on the receiver for not making, but at the goal line he really shoulda taken off and he had a couple first downs he could have had if he didn't throw on the run. But the long pass down the sideline to Sullivan should have been a reception, but alas, our TEs... Anyway, Wilks is clearly a legit NFL coach. Whether or not he is the best option long term, I'm much less sold on.

I really thought it was intercepted and TMJ was rolling on the ground hurt live on the play... Absolutely phenomenal effort by the young WR to make that catch.

Josh Norman had at least one year where he was more than adequate in that regard, I think... But we will have Jaycee for much longer...

Really a great day for him. He's just so good. Only a single low effort play at the end of the game, but he gave it his all the rest of the day, and deserved that sideline pick that ended up "just" a breakup...

He definitely is. He's exciting out of the backfield. Really fun to watch, and teams need to account for him because it takes more than one guy to take him down.

Oh he's much better than Rhule. If he keeps winning, then yes, he's HC next year. He's got these guys playing hard. But I'm not ready to offer him a contract until we see the rest of the season is all.

Plenty of games left in the season. He's what, .500?

we're now arguing how many are/ours and the's are in a press conference of a coach that just won a game, lol.

The players have no control over the HC changes. That is what he means by an "it". Did you actually listen to the interview, or just the sound bite?

Lol there is definitely a "the organization" in there. Its either "our the organization" or "are the organization" The entire first set of questions was about how the team overcame what was swirling around the team outside the players on the roster and overcame it. He's talking about the "its" being out there all the time to distract them. And he later clarified what he meant.

He clarified, it isn't backpedaling. His first like minute was all about the distractions players have to deal with and how they have to focus. I don't know what to tell you, we just disagree. So give me the examples of this team trying to tank? He didn't have any because he said they weren't, but you apparently know they did, so I'd like to hear your rationale.

We won't. He very clearly said afterwards he meant things around the team, not from inside. There's no way you can look at this team and think it's tanking. What decisions were made to do so? Trading away our best offensive player? Ok, but he may have lowkey requested a trade (esp given where he ended up), and we had good backs behind him. Refusing the Burns trade is 100% strong evidence we weren't trying to tank, as was firing Rhule.

He clarified later he was talking about things said outside too

Uh he definitely does. He starts the q&a talking about things outside their play that is distracting and when a reporter asks what he meant by tanking directly he says he meant things being said outside the organization His whole thing is this is big for the players because they ignored the noise and performed as he felt they could

I've posted the link above already. And I linked that tweet you posted a while ago explaining it was missing the context of the earlier questions.

If you want to hear his response to judge if you think he's bullshitting, see ~7:47 for a question from (Joe Person? not sure) on what Wilks meant by the organization tanking: https://www.facebook.com/CarolinaPanthers/videos/808612346900965 ( don't know how to link facebook vides to time stamps)

You should really listen to the full interview, because he opens the presser by talking about everything around the organization that was outside of player's control, what people were saying, etc etc.

I don't think it was (Wilks) backpedaling, honestly. He started at the very beginning talking about how there's "Its" you can't control and you just need to go out and execute, do your job, etc

Ok, https://www.facebook.com/CarolinaPanthers/videos/808612346900965 Check out the full Q&A, its right at the start. I took the response and subsequent questions as about noise around the team, not his view of what the org was actually doing, but others may see it differently.

he said the words, but he was talking about the noise around the team. The video I found doesn't have the quote, but in context it sounded like a comment on the "noise" around the team

edit: Bah, this doesn't have his further comments, and the question is missing The question was about "all the noise" around the team, the media, and all the comments around the team
