Carolina is allowing 5.7 yards per rush...let's put that into historical perspective...

If the season ended today, it would be the second worst performance in the history of the NFL.
 
Only the 6.4 ypc given up by the 1934 Cincinnati Reds (yes, they were a football team) would top it for sheer futility. 
 
Obviously, this will not continue for the entire season. 
 
The performance has been so poor, it is almost impossible not to give some credence to the notion that certain off field distractions have contributed.
 
The Bears are coming off a loss to Green Bay in which they gashed the Packers for 235 yards rushing.
 
Prior to last week, however, the Bears had rushed for 60, 46 and 86 yards respectively in games against the Jets, 49'ers and Bills.
 
What gives???
 
I say the DL is embarrassed and decides they want to play football, Thomas Davis returns and the Panthers again look like the defensive unit we have come to expect.
 
There have been a ton of Jekyll and Hyde type performances in the NFL this season...there is just no way this defense is as poor as it has looked the last two weeks.

This defense is still coming together.  We have had significant changes and the loss of Hardy is something I now know cannot be underestimated.

 

I agree we will be a lot better this next game, but we still have a long way to go.

 

Though honestly if we are gashed in the running game again I wouldn't be overly surprised either.

This Chicago game will determine the entire season. If we come out flat and lose again, and lose so bad that DA plays the 4th qtr again then I am not kidding, Tank for the 1st pick and Rivera and the coaching staff has to go. Because it will be crystal clear that the players have quit on Rivera for reasons unknown, im sorry but if we get blown out three weeks in a row, thats players quitting on the coaches pure and simple.

If we bounce back and win, no doubt we have a winning season and possibly make the playoffs. This is truely a must win. We are at home, back in our element in a 1:00 PM game, with no silly distractions or story line. If we lose im fully convinced we go 2-14 or 3-13

If the season were to end today the Panthers would win the division and be in the playoffs.  Probably the first team to give up 6.4 ypc and get into the playoffs. 

 

Thats another stat

 

 

24 teams have finished the regular season giving up more than 5 yards a carry. 

 

Surprisingly, 4 actually made the playoffs, the last being the 2012 Colts.

 

Go figure.

Don't get your logic on players quit on coaches if we get blown out three weeks in a row.

so by your standards we should have tanked after starting 1-3 last yr. 

 

Next game is important but it is still early.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Play point guard while throwing to… in 2023: Mingo - bust. Hurt/hasn’t done a thing in Dallas. Well on his way out of league  Chark - no longer in league  Hurst - no longer in league Marshall - hasn’t done a thing  Sullivan/Strachan - pretty much same dude. Both not playing  Thielen - hasn’t done a damn thing since he left Carolina  Miles Sanders - nothing    2024: Legette - rookie WR who still has no idea what he’s doing  Mingo - see above  Coker - when he did play/healthy he was solid  Thielen - see above  Sanders - bust Diontae Johnson - headache. Out of league. Failed on 12 teams in 2024 There’s more names but again all irrelevant and doing nothing in the league. This is the crap and turnover Bryce has dealt with the first two seasons. Given the type of QB Bryce is he stood no chance with these guys. We’re finally seeing improvement because there’s some consistency at least now. It would be nice if we could get Bryce a tight end worth a Damn so he could use the middle of the field more often. Plus we’ve had 10 different OL combinations this season as well or something absurd  What an absolute disaster this has been since the trade up.

      I mean we are limited in our options realistically, Howell is a Baker esque player who put up 4k and 22tds in his one year starting... with no weapons and a horrible oline. Oh I'm sure out the gates he wouldnt have a chance vs teppers golden brycey but if we stumble out he gates again Canales may injury list him again to try and save his job.
