Performances of Note:

G Andrew Norwell, 90.5 overall grade

Norwell was an absolute road grader on Sunday for the Panthers. He was great at pushing back interior defenders on double teams or single-handedly. Norwell finished with an elite 91.1 run blocking grade, the highest in the game but he was also no slouch when protecting the franchise either. Norwell did not allow a single on 32 snaps in pass protection, and finished with an 85.6 pass protection grade.

OT Daryl Williams, 80.4 overall grade

On the other side, Williams was very solid for the Panthers. He too had a balanced game run- and pass-blocking. He allowed one hurry on 32 pass protection snaps and he too showed his excellent strength run blocking by mowing back defenders for an 81.6 run blocking grade.

DI Kawann Short, 87.4 overall grade

Short is difficult to block at his best, especially for the Bucs’ backup offensive lineman in this one. He took advantage of their inexperience, collecting a pair of sacks and three pressures for an 89.8 pass-rush grade. Short did make a major mistake mid-way through the fourth quarter, committing a personal foul penalty well after the whistle on a play where an endzone holding call would have presented Carolina with a safety, but that moment of indiscipline aside, Short feasted.

CB Daryl Worley, 55.7 overall grade

Worley has been largely solid throughout his two seasons in the NFL, offering particular help against runs into his zone in the flat. He tied for the team-lead in stops (four) against Tampa, but was liable in coverage against the Bucs. He gave up 145 yards and a touchdown on seven targets by Jameis Winston, allowing a perfect passer rating of 158.3 when targeted.

What about Bradberry? He was god awful 

He certainly wasn't good, just like the rest of the secondary. Some of this is on Wilks, though. He is leaving 24 on an island a lot and is blitzing excessively (and predictably) on 3rd down.

I like Wilks, and it is obvious his guys respect him. I am however starting to feel like he is getting too cute with his play calls to get his name out there (a la Chudzinski) for HC jobs.

I know Shula receives the brunt of the Huddle anger, and he wasn't good yesterday IMO either, but Wilks got pantsed by Koetter yesterday bad. Like really bad. The missed tackles aren't on him, but there's nothing wrong with rushing 4 and playing zone on 3rd and long. 

McDermott did the same thing his 1st year in Philly trying to be like his predessor Jim Johnson.

Anyway, we were lucky to win. I'm not that down though bc we were due a letdown after 2 great performances.

Need to be better across the board. Coaching, play calling, execution. 

But we're in the playoffs for the 4th time on 5 years. I got faith we will be ready next week.
