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.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
