I'll always love Cam Newton, so I'm here for it.

Nah, this defense is that bad. We gave up 30 in the first half vs New Orleans with 0 points scored. 20 in the first half vs Chargers with 0 points scored. We "held" the Bengals to 21 in the 1st half. 27 points in the first half to Chicago with 7 points scored. I've been saying it all season. I've never seen a team depth chart look this bad on defense. We've legit got guys who got dismissed from practice squads getting major PT. This is why I can't get mad at Evero or Canales. It feels like there are some people here still who don't fully understand how bad this defense is talent-wise. There is no saving them. Offenses can do whatever they want. And you wanna know what is crazy? The first half of our schedule is the EASIEST when it comes to the offenses/QBs we play. We still have games against the Chiefs, Eagles, Cowboys, Bucs, Cardinals, Falcons, CHIEFS. I would bet good money the Panthers stay around 31-33 PPG allowed this year.

Top tier TEs usually don't hit the market. TE play league-wide isn't pretty. Only 2 TEs have over 250 receiving yards this year and one of them, Dallas Goedert, was just on a bye week. Behind them is Jake Ferguson at 229 yards, and he's also only played 4 games. TE is just a hard position to hit on.

It's the NFL. Players get hurt.

My man we were always that lol

How would better coaches prevent players from getting concussed? Clowney has been injury prone his entire career. Wonnum and Brooks were hurt before they got on the team. Thielen hurt his hamstring - every team deals with a player having a hamstring injury.

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

I understanding wanting to see the team perform better, but what do people expect? This is the least talented football roster in the NFL by far.

Who the hell is Thomas Incoom? Where are we finding these guys?

It wasn't. Teams just didn't have a reason to attack us. Teams played us hella conservative. Teams combined for 481 pass attempts against us. The next closest was 506 (Cardinals). When teams actually needed to put up points against us, they did it with ease. In the 4 games we scored 20+ points, we gave up 37, 42, 42, and 33 points. We were dead last in turnovers forced. This isn't me arguing against Evero. I still think he's a good DC. But this defense was behind the rest of the NFL in defensive talent last year, and it has only gotten worse this season. There is no way I can look at our depth chart and think this defense stands a chance. This is definitely the worst front seven in Panthers history. And no Shaq or Jewell? It is about to get even worse. I was impressed that we got the stops that we did yesterday.

What is he supposed to do? This is by far the worst defense in the NFL when it comes to sheer talent. We've got guys like Nick Thurman and Nick Scott starting. They suck.

Mingo is so bad

Shocked this defense got a stop

Legette, stop BSing

OMG

Shaq Thompson is done

Joe Burrow is that guy

KEEP POUNDING

Am I crazy? Or do kickers NEVER miss long FGs against us?

This defense just doesn't have the talent.

All-time bad pass rush

Nick Scott is Haruki Nakamura bad

I'd be shocked if Andy Dalton wasn't the best back-up QB in the NFL. Who would even be better?

LEGETTE SZN

Bad things happen when Miles Sanders has the ball
