    Slowik answers his phone: Hello.

    Tepper responds: Hi Bobby, this is David Tepper and we believe you're the perfect coach to help us build a winner in Carolina. We've been impressed by the work you've done with CJ and see that as a template for Bryce in 2024. What would it take for us to make you the new HC of the Panthers?

    Slowik: Trade for CJ. Just kidding Mr. Tepper, I'm happy with my current job. Thanks for your interest, have a nice day.

    If this were to really happen, it would probably be tough for Bobby to turn down the opportunity/challenge, but he'd be better staying at least 1-2 more years and gaining experience and building his resume in his current situation then diving in the CAR sh_t show.

    It could go well for Bobby in Carolina BUT as we just saw, if it doesn't, Tepper doesn't mind firing someone quickly!

    I was extremely irritated with him today.

    Putting Tank in the scrum is absolutely insane. Unlucky he got rolled up on, but why is a WR who is 170 soaking wet mashing it up with the OL/DL... like come the f on. You are risking the kid's career.

    Other then that....

    Run on first down, put your QB in dangerous positions on 2nd/3rd and long.

    He is trying to be too balanced and too predictable on first down. It wasn't working and he never adjusted. Denver started blitzing run on first down...... ON FIRST DOWN?????? That is crazy.

    Play calling today resembled the Carolina/ATL games more than the last 3.

    Wake up Bobby.

    Slowik should be thankful he has CJ carrying him to his future head coaching job.

    Sounds like Brady and all his offensive coaches

    He sucks. Only lets CJ loose when we are down. Otherwise he is way too predictable and conservative. He has cost or almost cost us multiple games already this season with his conservative bs

    You are exactly right in my opinion. I thought the play calling was atrocious. When you can't gain barely a yard on the ground, give it up. Mix it up. Get creative, not predictable. He never adjusted; that's crazy. Having tiny Dell in a scrum is just stupid and disastrous. On the other hand, I was very impressed with the defense. They were gritty, relentless, and essentially won the game. Maybe the most impressive game they have had. Excellent and accurate post.

    It almost felt like Bobby closed up shop on any creativity after Tank went down. Not sure how much the injury played into his play calling, but it certainly felt like it played a big part.

    Slowick isn’t going anywhere soon. Teams need more of a book on him than being able to have a middling offense that can’t run the ball lead by a sensational rookie qb.

    He needs a season of offensive excellence to really move the needle.

    As a rookie coordinator- he’s been ok. I’d put the majority of the success on Stroud. Can he be creative with the shanahan offense or is he simply doing his best to mimic what he was taught.

    If I’m meco - I’m looking to fill my ranks of offensive coaches/assistants with as much talent as we can.

    IMO - Kubiak’s best offensive season was with Shanahan at the helm. He moved on after one season and we never backfilled with the proper talent. I don’t think Slowick is that guy but I want to see Meco avoid a pitfall that hurt Kubiak

    Slowguy is not rated very high; wonder why? In BOB territory. The Texans could do better, much better.

    Agreed. But most polls, graphs and charts these days are more propaganda than informative. Garbage in...

    Brian Johnson? lol. Eagles fans dislike the hell out of him. He’s so predictable that Christian McCaffrey was calling out his plays during the Manning Cast between Phil vs Sea.

    When you poll, graph or chart garbage, it's still garbage. Do you disagree? You have to understand how the information was accumulated and the purpose and biases involved.

    More often than not these days, the results desired change the questions and methods of accumulation to manipulate the poll, graph or chart

    I need a FUN METER check after today's game.

    Is he still getting a HC job next year?
