I was bored so I thought that I would break down the scoring our defense has allow by subtracting the punt/kick/int/fum returns for touchdowns and I also discounted the times the offense turned over the ball inside our 20, 3 times so far this year. Our defense has given up 125 points this season, but if you subtract out the above numbers, it lowers it to 69 points or 13.8 points a game good enough for 2nd in the nfl behind the Denver Broncos.

Like I said I was bored, but the number did suprise me considering how bad our defense looked to start off the year.

Fixed for you. This is not all that surprising to me. Jake and our not-so special teams have put our D and team in some big holes this season. I have no idea how Crossman still has a job and the same can be said about Jake.

We actually have a good defense. I'd like to see what the hometown guy can bring. If he can bring it the D may be monstrous and more so next year when Kemo comes back.

We'll have some good highly motivated homegrown (90,91,93,97) run stoppers and pass rushers. I would think it to be a privilege to play for your home team. Tylers frame reminds me of old #99. If he's as good we'll be set.

You forgot 95.

I made a similar post to this last week and found it to be pretty telling as to how bad our offense and special teams have been. During the tampa game I just uttered, "there's 14 more points that were scored without the defense even stepping foot on the field." Its tough but the offense and the special teams are the biggest problem right now, not the defense.

Meeks is taking a hell of a lot more heat than he should be. I honestly like our defense, as much as their uncanny ability to allow third down conversions frustrates me. They've been put in quite a few bad situations this year but have responded nicely anyway.

Plugging in the Tank will help as well... if the middle gets plugged up, look for Beason to put up more big numbers. If the middle gets pushed in, look for Peppers to put up more big numbers, and the DB's to magically look amazing.

I like where we are headed defensively.

      Remaining Schedule

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      So we have a pretty tough schedule for the remainder of the season.  I believe I saw where it's the toughest remaining schedule in the league.  To even think about the playoffs we IMO have to, at minimum, win three of the remaining six.  49ers - We will have to play an amazing game to win this one.  We are down to backups at LB (at least for now) and Kittle is probably going to have a big day.  CMC must not go off on us.  PFF had a pregame analysis and actually the two guys running the show were split on who wins.  They even said it was disrespectful to the Panthers to be 7pt underdog.  Evero is going to have to have a great gameplan.   I'm on the fence but this game is in SF and I think we lose. Rams - We're at home that is about the only advantage I see in this game.  LA is one of the best offenses in the league and I just don't think we have the firepower to beat them.  The only way we win is if we can control the clock and keep LA's offense off the field. Saints - We have to go into this game on a mission.  WE HAVE TO WIN THIS GAME.  Hopefully, Canales has a better gameplan and we win.  This is a very winnable game. TB x 2 - The only chance, IMO, of winning the NFCS is we have to win both games.  Many talking heads say TB is faltering some and can be had.  By week 15 and 17 we should be hitting on all cylinders.  If we win, it's going to have to be a pretty mistake free. Seahawks - they have a very tough defense, and I think we get shut down.  Our only hope is to pressure Darnold into mistakes like he did this past weekend with 4 INTs.  As with the Rams we are going to have to keep this a low scoring game. My hope is  49ers- Win Rams - Loss Saints - Win Bucs@Home - Win Seattle - Loss Bucs@TB - Loss 9-8 Record My Fear 49ers-Loss Rams-Loss Saints-Win Bucs@home - Loss Seahawks - Loss Bucs@TB - Loss 7-10 record

      ESPN’s Benjamin Solak on Panthers LT

      With Motons deal (stupid), Hunt, Lewis and Mayes and Icky upcoming our line is going to be the most expensive again in the nfl.   Its going to be an interesting snap shot if this type of team building works.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      We have an easy out after this season with marginal dead cap. Could be smart given the situation and RB landscape.  This part isn’t at you—but in general: None of these guys are world beaters — sure they have been great for us at times but I just hope we don’t get this emotional investment paired with financials. I don’t think we need to teget all antsy about keeping Dowdle when he’ll be 28 next year. I don’t mind just continuously taking a stab in the late rounds every year on one.  We should not be investing in one guy in particular when they’re not really a game breaker. See: Sanders, Hubbard, etc.  I’d say heck yes, take a shot at a guy high up if you’re convinced you’ve landed a Gibbs or Taylor level, but otherwise, don’t invest, don’t get emotional about a 3-4 game stretch. Reset and see what type of committee you can construct with fresh legs.
