Panthers are 1-4 on the road this season. What other teams are that bad or worse on the road this year?

Well the main thing they have in common is poo defense and an inconsistent run game. Yeah, I think we're still relatively high in the run offense rankings, but a lot of that is Cam and trick plays involving WRs. Our base, block 'em up and grind it out, run offense is spotty at best, and worse on the road. Defense and run game is what's supposed to keep you afloat in road games, we don't have that this year.

This is actually terrifying, and it 100% goes back to our defensive problems.  The old saying "Defense travels" is showing itself to be true.

Teams giving up more than 250 points this year are 13 - 47 on the road.  Teams giving up less than 250 points are 51 - 46 - 2 on the road.

It's the pass rush. Pass rush can prop up an otherwise weak defense especially in a hostile road game environment. Panthers just don't have it this season. Last season the Panthers were killing it on the road early in the season. Started out 3-0 with a signature victory over the Patriots in New England, sacking Brady a few times. This season, without a miracle comeback, they would be 0-5 on the road. This team is not making the playoffs if they can't legit win a road game.

Agree. Would not be unhappy investing a first and third round pick in edge rushers next year. 

Good news is this draft is LOADED on the defensive line. 

Poe has lowkey been a disaster. I feared we were going to miss Star more than we originally believed and it's come true. 

Other than defensive line all our picks should got to offensive line: LT, C, G in that order

 Should defintely be a draft focused on the Oline and Dline. We have enough talent at the offensive skill positions and at LB/DB . 

Even the Oline has been pretty decent. We mainly need a long term answer at LT , a replacement C for Khalil. We dont NEED a LG but would be nice to upgrade.

Dline, I think we need two young good DEs. Mario is good but not great and Peppers will probably retire. We have almost nothing at DE and I believe its the biggest hole on the team. 

DT, I think we have enough talent but we're vastly under- performing. We just need to find a way to get the guys we have to play much better. Maybe replace Poe with a FA upgrade.

If we go  6-10 or 7-9 I honestly woundn't mind trading up for a premium pass rusher or the top LT in the draft. 

won't have to trade up for a premium pass rusher if we go 6-10

Honestly if we lose this weekend that's what I'm hoping for at this point

Fire Rivera. Hire the next McVay. Cut ties with some of the vets that are clogging our cap space. Sign a serviceable LT for next season. Draft pass rush heavy.

It's relevant because we have pretty much zero shot of winning our division. Thus, any hope of winning a playoff game rests on us being able to win a road game.

If we cannot beat TB and CLE on the road than we cannot win a playoff game on the road.

We are well past due to see how this team performs with an creative offensive HC

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
