Stop panicking, the defense was due a bad game, it happens.

Before tonight, Carolina's defense had held 13 of its last 14 regular season opponents to 20 points or fewer.
 
A string that good is nearly impossible to put together.
 
To put it into perspective, Seattle's defense, over the same time period, had only held 10 of its last 14 regular season opponents to 20 points or fewer.
 
Conversely, the Panthers have not won a game in which the defense gave up more than 20 points since the final game of 2012.
 
Since the start of the 2011 season, Carolina is 3 and 20 when the defense gives up more than 20 points. 
 
The defense will bounce back in a big way. 
 
We are going to win the NFC south.

Everything that could have went wrong for us tonight did go wrong. Literally. That is not an exaggeration, that is the truth. Penalties, turnovers, and all-around stupid play at the worst possible times.

 

The Steelers weren't that much better than us from a talent or gameplan perspective. We lost this game mostly by shooting ourselves in the foot. If Cam actually runs away from the pressure on that fumble, we don't inexplicably jump offside on the FG, and Philly Brown doesn't go full retard on the punt return, there's every chance we actually win.

 

This is the NFL and it's hard to beat even this league's crappy teams. Make as many mistakes as we did tonight and you'd be hard-pressed to beat even Jacksonville.

 

Chalk it up to a learning experience and move on.

I did not think it was possible to run on our front 7.

Was an amazing job by Pitts OL and running back.

Le'Veon Bell is scary good as a runner. I've been so used to watching backs run straight into our front but his patience and shifting ability to let blocks develop and find the running lanes was special. Don't think we've faced a running back like him in the regular season in awhile and it certainly caught us off guard.

Wasnt the defense fault that we couldnt score

 

Lol We let in 29 pts on Defense not counting the ST TD. Not giving the defense any blame is ridiculous when the other team was running all over us for most of the game. We failed in all three phases today, but after watching cams post game interview i am not worried that they will get this corrected and be ready for next week.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
