Let's put into perspective who they were playing here.  Chicago literally has nothing resembling an NFL offense.  We really had no chance for turnovers once they had a lead, Fox was always going to play to protect the ball from that point.  The lack of turnovers continues to be a problem though.  But to pretend like our defense was awesome today is misleading.  It was a combination of Chicago's terrible offense and conservative play more than it was a signature performance from our defense.

It must be hard to continually stop the opponent and watch the offense fail time and again in such obvious, unimaginative ways. With this D we will beat teams but our O has to get out of it's own way. The worst case scenario was 2 first quarter turnovers for TD's which our D were off the field for. You couldn't have given that Bears team a bigger gift if you tried...

I doubt Fox even wanted his offense on the field any longer than necessary.  Why would he?  We were more likely to gift them points than score with our offense on the field.  Sorry guys, this defensive performance is nothing more than exactly how Fox wanted it to play out after 2 defensive scores.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By CRA · Posted

      in starts, he has played better, been more efficient and outproduced Bryce by virtually every statistical metric that exists in 2025.  And has the 2 head to heads over Carolina.  I mean, your jaw should hit the floor.  But not for the reason you are implying.  That freaking stings.  Denying these realities isn't going to help the Panthers build a better team going forward.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      He is basically having a polar opposite rookie season than Bryce. 4-3 as a starter on a very bad team.  68% for 237 passing yards and 19 rush per game. 9 TDs,  6 TOs in his starts.  and folks acknowledge the surprisingly play because no one thought poo of the random 2nd rounder and he is player better as a rookie thus far than so many prized picks did as a rookies (not just Bryce but a boatload of dudes).   It's only a sour issue to give someone props because he is a Saint and of course the Bryce thing.  It's like giving the TE in Clev props for having near identical production as the chosen one Tyler Warren.  Fannin is having a great rookie season in a very bad spot.

      This is a very weird take. The reason Shough doesn't deserve it is because he's only started 7 games. He's doing crazy well for a rookie and out playing plenty of vets with a worse roster. He's waaay above league average in a number of categories during his starts and he passes the eye test in game by making plays. Meanwhile Bryce Young had one of the worst rookie seasons of all time. Still TMac deserves it more. It's only been 7 games for Shough so he doesn't deserve any awards. Even if he gets to 9 he doesn't.
