Tampa lost and the Saints beat Atlanta. So nothing has changed and we can still win the division if we win out. So honestly as disappointing it was to suck so badly it wasn't the reason to jump off the bandwagon just yet.

So maybe rayzor isn't done just yet....

I'm sure he'll be watching the carnage next week.   lol

A random fan out of the stands probably could have played a better game than Keith Taylor. I have no idea why he kept ending up in coverage with no help. 

Because our coaches don't know how to play situational football,  much less adapt. 

I would've liked to see Tae Hayes come into the game as well to relieve Taylor. Unbeknownst to me, he was waived earlier in the month.

I get wanting more from the team, but we also need to get a reality check. A third of the way through the season we were the laughing stocks of the league and the betting favorites to get the number 1 pick. And to add insult to injury, since then, we traded away our best player plus our #2 receiver, and handed the reins of our offense back to Sam Darnold. Isn't controlling our own destiny to win the division with 3 weeks left kind of best case scenario for this year? 

Don't get me wrong; I think we can do better than Wilks and am embarrassed at our performance today. But I also acknowledge we basically played at the level of our talent.

I'm pretty sure I'll have more important and rewarding things to do than watch this team the next couple weeks. I'm going to be with family and I'm not going to put myself in a situation where I can be upset by what this team does. I mean they may win, but really...what's the point? I mean long term. Wilks is not the guy who should be head coach. He can't and won't be counted on to win big games or win consistently.

Once you let go of hope, once you stop letting sports run your life, once you stop putting your emotions into it ... the better your life will be. When Jake imploded against the Cards ... that's when sports stopped controlling me. The entire Cam era was just a wash for me. Now I can watch the game and not even care at ALL. Sure I'd like to see us be an elite franchise, and if that ever happens, I'll put my blood pressure back on the clock. But it hasn't happened yet so I'm not worried. Watch each week, rayzor! Goof around on your laptop or phone while the game is on, hop in the game thread, play FF and keep up with your team, text a friend, eat, hang with your kid if you have one. You can do all of this while the Panthers game is on and still call yourself a fan.

We just got outplayed by a bad Steelers team and you are still talking about the playoffs?

Making the playoffs is the worst thing we could do at this point, we are not beating any real playoff team running Foreman and Hubbard 50 times a game, those guys dont scare anyone. 

It makes no sense to make the playoffs and get crushed, then watch teams that are better than us pick before us in the draft.

I have no more interest or curiosity in the Wilks experiment. 

Barring a trip to the NFC conference championship,im just not interested in seeing anymore from this team with Wilks at the helm. Better than Rhule, yes. Not good enough.

Until we can hire a new breed of coach, I'm done with this team. No more getting outclassed, out coached, and out performed by bad teams.

Sorry (not) I have standards beyond "the players like him and he's a local product."

I want more for this team than Wilks can deliver.

1000% agree with you.

We will not beat Detroit. We can beat Tampa and New Orleans, but Detroit will beat us, easily.

Wait people didn’t already know this? You guys know there is an entire season of evidence prior to this no?

Pittsburgh won the trenches today.  They did to us what we did to Seattle.  Plus they have much better coaches.  McAdoo is just such a terrible play caller. 

We lost the trenches because we didn't scheme right. Somewhere in the game plan mainly on defense they didn't get it right. Play calling was pretty bad too. Winning the trenches can be done many ways but we just got out coached.

      Draft Grades

      By jfra78 · Posted

      SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-

      The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
