Is there still a case for Wilks?

Wilkes made a great audition tape over the past 11 games. You know what you are getting both good and bad. That is more than you get with most new hires. I think as a head coach Wilkes did well. I think whether you hire him depends on his vision to move us to the next level. But as a leader he did a good job which is to get the most out of what you are given.

I just can't get behind the strategy of punting to the Goat with 4th and inches, its dinosaur thinking and it leads to predictable results time and time again. You have to put good teams away, a division championship is on the line, not the time to play the most conservative game in the NFL.

That and not demanding safety over the top help on Mike Evans at all times after he'd already burnt us deep for TDs twice. When it happened a third time I was like... okay, somebody's gotta get fired for this poo. You know you don't have an active CB that can hang with this guy. Why are you still leaving them on an island with him?

That was probably the worst a single WR had done us since Julio had "that game" on us after we let J-No walk.

I dont mind the philosophy in general but the problem with coaches like Wilks is they will not drift from their philosophy regardless of the situation or who the opponent is. He coached that game with the assumption we would continue to get stops with a beat up secondary, no pass rush, and going against the GOAT and 2 all pro receivers. If you have the 2013 Seahawks defense I can understand punting but we dont have anything close to that

The Bucs had a field day torching Taylor and Henderson on the long passes but it still was a one possession game in the end. I don't think he get the job but you're lying to yourself if you say that Wilks didn't turn this team around to a degree.

Steve Wilks most certainly provides the kind of strong, high character leadership that you want in your organization.

I don't think he'll get the head coaching job, but I'd still love to have him be part of the staff.

Don't really think that'll happen either, but it's possible..

Don’t really see it. The guy is a conservative minded secondary guy whose secondary and defense just got torched. Yeah they were missing Horn but they were missing Horn in the first game too and knew what they had going into this game. The Bucs have been horrible and their vertical passing game non existent and yet Brady and friends had their best game of the year in a critical matchup, that’s not a good look. I never understand having these supposed defensive geniuses whose departments look completely out of whack in big moments like what do they bring to the table. He’s better than Rhule but so what, is that really the standard? Having better than a guy who didn’t even belong in the NFL and isn’t even a good college coach? Sure some players like him but some guys also liked Rhule. Maybe if they stepped up when it mattered I’d care more about that.

I just find it hard to believe he is the absolute best option to have and in the NFL you should always look for the best or else you end up like this franchise. One that settles for mediocrity.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
