6 of those belonged to Kamara.

This defense let a rookie make them look silly.

 

That better be a wake-up call. A big hit without wrapping up just doesn't cut it. That isn't sound fundamental football.

Time for a large slice of humble pie for the entire unit. Rally, and let's get three home wins in a row.

None were bigger blows and tone setters than not wrapping up at the 2 yardline on 4th down on the saints first drive.  That would have been a momentum killer, instead Shaq slammed with a shoulder and didn't even attempt to wrap up, it was embarrassing quite frankly.  1 play doesn't determine a game, but it sure as poo got the crowd into it and it never seemed like we could get the momentum fully turned around in our favor the rest of the game.

Can't cover, can't tackle, he's really useless. We're going to have lots of holes to fill in the next few years. Both safety positions, CB, DE, and then LB cause TD is going to retire soon and Shaq sucks. And that's just the defensive side of the ball.

Do they have stats for stoic looks when the camera pans?  I think they should.  That will really uncover the problem with the defense.  

Yes stoic looks are all over the stat sheet you will do well at the Huddle welcome to the fan page of whom ever we’re playing currently.

fire everybody Dilly Dilly

This defense let  McCown make them look silly, like I said in the other thread did yall really...wtf did you expect lol?

Gonna keep making the point but you can tell most on this board don't watch NFL football. When all you watch is the Panthers you have yourself thinking Bersin is actually an NFL WR or that Byrd is going to even sniff 40 yards nevermind 100. Sometimes I wish I had those great delusional powers it takes to say some dumbass poo like that.

Instead of a fundamental tackling technique, Shaq tried to make a SportsCenter highlight reel with a big hit...which failed miserably.  That was a big momentum swing, much like Peppers 'penalty' and Clay's punt return fumble.

This defense is getting old in a hurry. Davis. Peppers. Johnson  Adams and where are the replacements?

as the season goes on, the look will only get worse

add to it playing more man under Wilkes with a secondary that suits zone  that just Inst that talented and the outlook isn’t great 

the Panthers needed to turnover that  d line and they haven’t   Ealy didn’t pan out  and gets traded  Deshaeon Hall on IRvand too light 

the offense we know about

No one is going to rescue the Panthers including their head coach who stands with his arms folded for 4 qtrs  be nice if we gave a poo during the game to stop one missed opportunity from becoming many

He has a specific way of being used where he really excels. I don't think he's a very smart football player, which is the risk you always take with insanely athletic linebackers. They've always just been able to get there. Remember, he was basically drafted because of how well he did on the SPARQ test, which is a way to measure athleticism. He broke it, essentially.

But guys like him don't actually have a good feel for the game. He's fantastic when he's being used as a blitzer, or hes just stuck in man somewhere. But when he has to sort something out he just vanishes. 

Kamara's non tackle yesterday was an outlier, because I don't think I've ever seen him try that poo. 

Kamara was also the best player on the field yesterday. fug ROTY, give him MVP.

People are terrified of that, but safety has never been a position the defense gives a poo about (although its clear they should), Peppers is just rotational, and there's two first round linebackers there anyway. 

One solid draft, one or two free agents and the problem is addressed.

Same on offense. Only old players are stewart and kalil. Couple draft picks, good free agent signing, and they're fine.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
