He moves the ball and apart from one game hasn’t made the critical mistakes. It’s complimentary football. I’d like to see the O perform a bit better considering we’ve played pretty poor pass defenses.

Faulty stats again - based on yards per game. The Panthers have scored 125 points in the four games since Cam has been hurt. Certainly, the defense has been responsible for putting them in position to score (and then scoring some themselves), but the offense has been efficient enough to capitalize on their opportunities.

And occasionally toss in a 99-yard drive. 

So, it shouldn't be a surprise that teams with a good defense get a shorter field and have less reliance on the offense to gain those yards.

I like the way the defense has played.

But our scoring defense is not where we'd like it to be.  unless you play fantasy football, yards you give up rushing passing etc mean nothing..  POINTS you give up are still what matters..  22 a game.   14th in the league.

The better  teams with leads , and yes we've had them,  are still  making stops ..  Our game with the Texans was awesome, but we had a 6 point lead and couldn't give an inch

Pass defense is our strength. 9th in passing yds allowed. Our issue is rushing defense where we are 21st.

That goes back to the Ron Rivera lack of killer instinct this team has had since day 1. 

To be fair, it's not something exclusive to Ron. Many teams have this same issue.

6 fumbles isn't critical mistakes? Those are as good as ints in my eyes.

Every winning/postseason year outside of 2015 Ron Rivera has had....has been driven by the defense.  So you can say that about 75% of the seasons Cam has gone to the postseason too.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
