Yea this isn’t 2012 Brady or the patriots. He’s lost a of games this year in really ugly and unprecedented fashion. This is a a case of having some really special CBs. We should have made adjustments to slow down Evans but the reality is the horn injury (thanks Chinn) cost us this game. Neither CJ Henderson nor Keith Taylor should be on this team or any team next year and they were CB1 and CB2 today. If you took away positions they are comparable in NFL level skill to Nate Chandler.  Henderson is benwekiere.

Why do so many people on this board think other teams aren't going to score? Even good defenses are giving up 30 points this is the NFL if you want to be relevant your offense has to go toe to toe and not kick field goals. I'm over the defensive identity of this team. I want to build a juggernaut offense.

The Niners gave up 400 yards of offense and 3 touchdowns to Jarrett Stidham yesterday and had to take it to overtime to put the Raiders away. There is no path to the playoffs where you are going to win with an offense putting up less than 30 points.

Gotta take your chances on that. If something is working you gotta try something different.

Wilks has been willing to do that before.

Bottom line for me about yesterday though is I don't think anything was going to matter. We weren't winning that game.

I'd throw in that Bowles and his defensive staff seemed to do a better job handling our offense as the game went on.

You can't keep leaving overmatched CBs on an island with a guy who is just absolutely smoking them deep. You have to have a safety rolled over the top of Evans every snap. Yeah, other guys might eat you up then. But you have to take your chances on that because what you know for sure is that Mike Evans is tearing you up RIGHT NOW and you gotta change that.

See above.

We could be Dr Strange and play out an infinite number of "what if" scenarios from yesterday but still wind up with nothing in the end. And no matter what else occurs, I don't see Wilks getting the full time job...and I'm okay with it.

I'd throw in that I think Chris Godwin is very underrated. He's long been a guy I'd be happy to have wearing our colors.

Then the posts would be, "why didn't we double team Godwin. We failed to adjust to stop him."

At least you tried something different. Leaving Evans singled up was begging to lose. Try to find other instances in the NFL where a single receiver has 3 DEEP TDs against single man coverage. It's rare for multiple reasons but one of the key ones is that you're gonna stop leaving that guy on an island because you realize that isn't working.

      Feeling Undeniably Optimistic

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      So yea, we lost, but as many have said theres ways to lose that still provide hope and optimism.  THIS game was one of those.  At the end of the day, even though we're rocking a 36 year old QB, this is a very young team that has to learn how to win.  Think about the 2 XL drops, Mingo drop, the dropped fake punt.  Those are plays that veteran winning teams make, but we ARENT there...yet.  XL showed some explosion on the outside that is super exciting, chuba and dare I say Miles Sanders actually looked good.  On defense we are sorely missing Brown, and they were undeniably rough today, BUT, I remember thinking if there was a time they needed to show some "keep pounding" it was right after Shaq and Jewel went out, and the VERY next play the rush got to burrow and we got the turnover.  It was legitimately the first time in years I yelled "Keep pounding", that was an attitude play.  Also for all the bad on defense, Horn still looks like he does have that dawg in him.  End of the day as we all know, winning in the NFL mostly comes down to a handful of plays, and it really depends on if you convert those opportunities, and right now with our youth we arent, BUT that will change with experience. Keep Pounding.

      32nd(last) ranked defense

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Many. Recently, Snow had 3 rookies, a weak run defending DL and a garbage secondary led by Shaq as the only average LB. This defense is by far better than Snows roster. It may still be better than Snows roster with the injuries if not the same. Raheem Morris is an awful HC, but he's a good DC. He did more with less in 2023. His one piece was a used up (ready to retire) Donald. Put rookies in a position to make plays. He would have this Panthers defensive roster in the top 20.

      Legit question. In the present day NFL how would that work now with rookie contracts?  I know the Mannings are NFL royalty, but if a team drafts him, they have his rights for 4-5 years no?  I’d draft him and make him hold out of years if need be just because I could.  That and I hate the Mannings.    Jericho caught the ball and they head hunted Cam. F Paintin’ Manning!
