Wilks got the team playing at a respectable level instantly, given the talent on the roster.  I don't think he's the right coach to take the team to the playoffs and beyond.  But he was good enough to get the team out of the gutter, and provided a damning contrast to Rhule and Reich.

That Bengals game was not respectable.  If he could run on a team yeah he looked good.  He lived and died by that.  We should want something better.  Rhule and Reich clearly were not, but we should TRY to get something better.

I was a Steve Wilks guy too. But I had to admit that he did blow the TB game. Anybody looking for a reason to say no, had it.  
The other thing I felt was valid is who were his coordinators going to be. 
I don’t care for the HC calling the plays. I think it is a little too much for most of them. 
 

I love the guy though and wish he’d have got another HC shot.

Not many HC's can beat that guy with the playoffs on the line. Cmon my guy the fact we even had a shot to make the playoffs was amazing. That season started terrible do you remember?

 

Wilks saved us.

The team played with more spunk for Wilks than they ever did for Reich.  That's all I'm saying.

You had to stop one play.
You are a defensive guy, a secondary guy. 

You fail not once, but at least twice on the same play. After being burned on it like, 10 minutes ago.

Wilks got the team to play to their ability better than the last few clowns. 
They were not going to beat the top teams, no. 
But the whole thing was so much better feeling than anything else since when we used to be good.

There were highs and lows. The highs gave me hope. The lows (Bengals game Steelers game last Bucs game) made me realize ultimately he was a rehash of Ron Rivera. There are times that can work. But the league has changed.

More than anything I think we as fans when thinking the grass is greener have to consider just how bad this whole situation is for any coach. All roads go back to Tepper.

I think that's pretty accurate.  Wilks can't cut it at the highest levels.  It requires out adjusting your opponents.  You can't just line up and beat the other team.  It's why the 49ers fired him as DC.

If we are wanting Wilks, we would have been better off just keeping Rivera.

Wilks does not have it on the X's and O's side or making adjustments in game.  He could not play the chess match at all.  It was old school, pound the rock football with vanilla defense.  He lived and mostly died by that.

I’d take that over whatever the hell we run these days.

Moore and CMC saw the writing on the wall..and were clearly disgruntled and wanted out....due to a dipsht Dipper controlling sht on a whim. but lets play along. Fug Darnold...shoulda kept Mayfield... who could we have gotten with 2 number one picks for Burns? Prolly some good sht but it would have been totally squandered under this org...Like ketchup on a steak...  I was totally against Stroud cause I'm an OSU fan...those QBs never turn out to the hype but I was clearly wrong....(nother bitch, Day didn't know what he had, but thats another story). OSU QBs usually don't amount to much...just analytics. Fitt totally gutted this team of talent and I wouldnt trust him making a PBandJ.... In 2021, had we done nothing we would have been better off...I mean a monkey throwing darts would have done better....you couldn't screw things up this bad if you tried.

Forgot...Wilks always seems to be the scapgoat. Hes had solid performance.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
