Does the field have anything to do with it?

[UKPanther94]

While to pin all our defensive problems on the surface would be asinine, it may be worth wondering if there is a correlation between the two. Our last three defensive clunkers at the Saints/Giants/Falcons all came at domes or stadiums that use artificial turf of some kind or another. Compare that to the BofA which is grass and somewhere we've been generally solid defensively (save for a few 4th quarter disasters against the Colts and Packers). Certainly makes home field advantage that bit more important if there even is the slightest cause in the drop off when we're inside.

If true, the good news is that every possible game we have left would be on grass. University of Phoenix Stadium and Levi's Stadium both have natural fields with Bank of America Stadium obviously having it as well.

Honestly I think it's pretty lame to use that artificial turf bs....I honestly think it should be a rule that teams must use real grass...not sure why the playing fields are allowed to be different fundamentally...baseball is pretty stupid too with their different dimension stadiums and poo. That stuff does matter but it's not why we lost to ATL.

This is a reach, our defense had been straight ass lately.  Ever since Bene went down the dominoes have fallen.

While this is some serious weak sauce, Im pretty sure you have the "why people laugh at us" market cornered.

interesting point, but we also handled the Cowboys on a fake field.  I think it's more of the grind that's gotten to the D.  With our bye after week 4, it's going to be nice to have a week off to start the playoffs....

Or....

 

The Panthers D has suffered against teams with QB's that can deliver short accurate strikes.

We've been getting eaten up in the middle of the field. Gonna be a long day once we get to the playoffs if that poo keeps up.

... To two of the top 5 receivers in the NFL.

Right or wrong...

I really don't give a poo. Whether or not Cam is a father means about as much to me as whether or not there are spiders under my neighbors shed.

 

But that dumpster fire of a thread paired with your dogged determination to conflate a set of circumstances into your desired reality smacks of either a jilted ex or a 14 year old girl.  That kind of poo is what people come to laugh at.  Not people grasping at straws to explain an uncharacteristic performance of their favorite team.

Just like with those power ranking threads right?
