There was no excuse for the defense we saw Sunday however the offense does two things for the defense, it keeps them off the field and establishes momentum. We almost stopped them on the first drive and all but should have but a lucky fluke where the ball fell into Kittles hands derailed it. That is as deflating as anything including all the flags. If Kyle had hit Samuel on that deep ball in the end zone does our D come out with more passion?

It don't think it would have mattered. Shanahan had the perfect gameplan for us. And if our "elite" defense gets deflated after ONE lucky first down, then we are as soft as baby sh*t.

It was more then that, Keek even had a interception while we were still in the game, also saying cam makes a difference.

That ridiculous play by Kittle basically signified what we were in store for, anyone that's seen enough Panthers football over the years knows what I'm talking about. We got walked all over from the word go, the team looked like they never even really stepped off the plane.

You can obviously argue that execution was a problem, but that kind of loss with that much time to prepare is a very poor reflection on the coaching staff. Especially one helmed by a head coach that has been in and around the league since the 80's.

our D isn't that bad unless we face an O coordinator that knows how to scheme against luke.  saints, rams, 9'ers...  they all use luke's knowledge against him.   luke runs right to where the play is supposed to go, but with great O coordinators that's not where the play is going now and luke goes to the wrong place.    this isn't new.   its been going on for years.

Worst game I have ever seen Luke play. Several times he had no idea where to go, it was bad. Really, really bad.

Very true and Luke directs the defense and usually does it so well everyone completely trusts his judgment. Maybe he will learn from this game that whats on tape isnt always whays executed. However to put it all on the one player on D that made alot of special plays is crazy.

go back and look at the rams game this year.   go watch payton abuse him in our saints games they need to win.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
