Hello everyone...read this thing all the time, but this is my first post.

My question is, where were all the defensive adjustments last night? One thing the Panthers have really excelled at this season is making the necessary defensive adjustments throughout the game. Take the Denver game for instance, early on Cutler had all day to complete passes and was picking them apart...all of a sudden the second half, Cutler couldn't connect on anything and was getting pressured and sacked. Look at the season, they fell behind early in many games, but the defensive adjustments allowed them to hold teams so that they could catch up and win from behind.

Late in the game last night, it was 3rd and 4 and the Giants were lined up in shotgun formation, AGAIN. Even John Madden said, "this could be run", and sure enough, Ward ran up the middle for another 20+ yd gain. I couldn't believe how they ran the same play over and over and the Panthers never adjusted...it's what lost them the game (defensively anyway).

Anyway, I am excited about the playoffs, but last night showed me our defense has a long way to go to be championship caliber.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
