Canales mistake was leaning on Evero with a lead to keep the game close and wait for Caleb Williams to make a mistake.

Until the Panthers find a better DC the game plan should always be focused on scoring 30 points

Shouldn't the game plan always be focused on scoring 30 points?

There were a lot of bad drops that contributed. I mean bad drops. And also, Andy missed a couple of wide open balls. And then, Mingo, I'm convinced he doesn't know how catch a ball in stride. Let's get Coker in there.

The amount of people who don't understand blowout losses blows my mind.

 

Canales didn't lose the players here. It was a bad game. They happen in this league to literally every single coach. We beat the Patriots during their dynasty era. Fairly handily. Nobody claimed Bill got out coached by our staff.

If you give up on the rookie head coach 4 games in, maybe football isn't your sport.

 

Bryce came in during garbage time and executed a couple of nice passes and got junk yardage. And once the field shrank, he was right back to the Bryce we know. He wasn't put in to appease tepper. He was put in because the game was lost and getting Andy hurt would be dumb. He got hit all game. Plus Bryce got game reps. Easy decision.

Despite Canales iterating and reiterating that point, look at the articles, the fans, the locker room interviews with the players, it is all that bullshit.

I’m still completely confused. What happened to trying to keep the other team’s offense off the field when your defense showed that it had no business on the field? When they were down 14, they played like they were down 21 in the 4th quarter.  Down 14, or even 17 in the first half is not insurmountable by any means, but the play calling sure looked like it. We WERE (past tense) getting 1st downs, until…

This was Canales feeling himself way too much IMHO. When the desperation passing game to second and third stringers wasn’t working, he double downed. I thought he himself said we would be primarily a punch you in the mouth running team? Not once did he try to slow the game down. He tried his best Payton impersonation. 

Well, we were landing liver shot after liver shot. We took haymakers, but we were doing damage on their core, until ego kicked in and we wanted to show that he could rain down haymakers as well.., only every time we got countered straight to the jaw. 

DJ played the defense like a fiddle. Why wouldn’t he? He’s knows the scheme inside and out, left, right, sideways, upside down, center and askew. He knows tells and tendencies. He knows the calls and formations. If there were any carryover from the Reich offense… guess what… he knew that too. 

Any chance of the D doing anything with all the circumstances involved was a pipe (crack pipe) dream. DJ headed up film study all. Week. Long. 
 

So yeah, our only prayer of it not being completely humiliating was to ride our horse and keep wailing away at that liver, and then pride took over. It looked almost narcissistic…

How anyone can look at the talent on this defense and find a way to blame the DC… Lol

Injuries and level of talent are not excuses to be a bottom of the league DC. DC is the most important person on the defensive side of the ball as they put players in position to make calls and plays. Evero could have top 10 talent and he would field an average NFL defense.

Young was holding the offense back and Evero is holding the defense back. People are willing to hold onto these franchise destroyers for years before admitting the obvious.

Snow was terrible and he did more with less in 2020 than Evero has done in 2023 or 2024.

I edged my lawn...  sidewalk...  driveway...  Cleared away a bunch of bushes and branches...  Mowed the front yard...  Had a nice afternoon and dinner with my lady...  Wonder who our next coach and QB will be?

At our healthiest this roster was going to have to play above it's head to compete. Then you decimate it with injuries.

What did you expect? 

Agree, we replaced what 6 of our 53 man roster, not practice squad, ten days before the opener. How anyone did not realize that was a bad sign is beyond me. Now the D is decimated with injuries. IMO we have no idea what kind of coach we have.

defense looked like they were playing base coverage all day yesterday. It’s why there was so much space across the middle between the first and second levels.

Criticize evero all you want, but it’s never looked like THAT. that generally means the players you have can’t handle anything more complicated. The same thing happened in 2010 when the whole defense was injured and I don’t think anyone is gonna claim fox couldn’t coach defense. 

offense looked like they had no idea what was going on. It was reminiscent of week 2 against San Diego. Just no idea what do do against the bears defense. Bryce got all the blame for that performance and rightly so, especially after the raiders game, but it’s looking like Canales doesn’t know what he’s doing either.

maybe the panthers thought mike evans came with Canales? I dunno.

      Agreed - Wonnum @ $6M could be outstanding.  People crying about Jewell but the man is the 47th highest paid LB....experience in the system and leadership at only $6M?  I'll take it.  Nijman should be a good one also for depth and Jordan Fuller is solid.  I really don't understand any Morgan hate at this point.  This BS about Frazier over Brooks is only because Brooks hasn't played yet.  If he comes in and looks like a top 10 RB like most people expect there won't be any reasonable complaints.

      It was less about the QB than the thought that we just knew better than anyone. We could have waited and another WR(most likely better) would have easily dropped in our lap in the 2nd. Nope. Instead we trade to get XL because "he's our guy." Dumb. Classic Fitterer BS. You could have fixed an obvious hole in the offense in round two and drafted Zach Frazier, a center for your bright shiny new QB for the next decade plus. Nope. RB that might not even play in 2024.  Dumb. Classic Fitterer BS. We can keep going down the list and it's just gonna get worse. A bunch of guys that aren't ready to play.  Classic Fitterer.
