Are you serious? With Ben McAdoo and PJ Walker? If you went into this game with expectations of any kind that's on you.  This is a no win situation for any head coach.  Bill Belicheat couldn't fix this sh*t mid-season. 

I'm not asking him to fix it - I'm asking him to play to win.

That sequence before half-time when he let the Rams bleed 1.30 off the clock whilst sat on 3 TOs. Criminal.

Calling a time out on the Rams in the 4th Q down by 2 scores when on the previous drive you'd run a RB draw on 3rd and forever? Clown show.

Wilks "ain't " what, exactly? What in theee hell are you weirdos expecting? This team is bad. The culture is bad. The qb room is a damn disaster and has been for 3+years, but you all are bitching about an ostensibly lame duck coach. 

This is HIS shot to coach his home town Panthers - a team he purportedly loves. 

He literally has nothing to lose - go balls out. Even Rivera pulled out the Riverboat nonsense when he knew his job was on the line.

My son was like, "Why aren't we calling a time out?" He said that on the Rams third and long. I replied, "Because if we stop them we can use our three timeouts to go down and try to score."

I FULLY expected us to do the normal, sensical thing that coaches do. Man, my mouth about fell open when we took the pus-err "conservative" route.

Regardless of all the obvious excuses that one can muster for Wilks' performance, I haven't seen anything that makes me think that Wilks is head coaching material. 

Game-specific coaching sounds good and actually is good for coaches that know how to do it. Game planning around your strengths and the opposition's weaknesses is smart, but playing to your opponent's weaknesses just enough to keep them in the game, playing not to lose, and especially coddling a small lead in the first half or even the third and fourth quarters when your team is struggling offensively seems to be simply dumb. It speaks to situational play calling. 

Speaking of play calling...game planning...setting up a plan to just run and screen-pass (yes I'm using it as a verb) your way through the game and expect to win. Any defense worth its salt is going to figure you out because you're making things easy for them. You should be using the run to set up the pass and pass to set up the run. You must take some shots down the field to have any credibility.  Talking about going to the well ten too many times. 

 

Lol wills was never it. His last job was defensive coordinator at Missouri. Anyone who had any hope of him being it is completely lost and should keep it to themself.

you want to see David Tepper completely destroy this franchise? Then hire Steve wilks after this season ends.

I’m certainly not going to pass judgment on Wills after one game, but a lot of the time when a HC gets fired and an assistant is put in his place, players go hard and try to play for him. That certainly didn’t happen today, and in his first game he had to separate a player from a coach while screaming at both and send the player home mid-game. That’s not a good sign but poo happens.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.
