This column began as a way to focus attention on each week’s game, an effort to make sense of a win or a loss in the context of the season as a whole. I started it because I didn’t expect the 2022 Carolina Panthers (+3.5)
to be particularly successful and I thought that having concrete things to watch for beyond “being good” might make the season more enjoyable. It turns out that the Panthers weren’t particularly good across the whole season, but little else that I predicted came true.
Still, the season is over and there isn’t much left to be said for Wilks that would qualify as new.
