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.

What im basically trying to say is dont worry the defense isnt that bad.

Our defense has GOT shore up it's run defense. We can get all the sacks in the world but it doesn't mean poo if we keep getting gashed for huge 10+ yard runs.

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.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
