Sad to say it but Rivera is kind of like Wile E Coyote sometimes. When he thinks he's being smart, he's actually just setting himself up for failure.

I'm sure he thought this whole defensive scheme change was a great idea. Hasn't worked out so well though.

This defense would be a beast if we had an elite offense to build a lead and then let them protect it. In close games or comeback situations though, it's just not a front seven that can hold up against a balanced attack.

If you had half a brain though, you had to know that depending on Newton to return fully healthy this season was a risk.

I have nothing against Kyle Allen, but I really did believe we'd go into this season with a veteran backup.

It’s the “gap responsible” defense Rivera has used. Kuechly is practically playing defensive tackle by being responsible for one gap and one gap only. Let him be a sideline to sideline guy, not “hey you’re responsible for the B gap” 
 

One guy being out of place in this type of defense is detrimental, instead of in the past where if a D-Lineman made a mistake, they had Luke and TD playing back from depth to clean up.

I'm just saying, I really think this D was built around the idea that we were going to put a 2015-esque offense on the field.

It’s not the scheme. It’s almost never the scheme.  It’s failing to put players in their best position to win plays.

I don’t disagree. Check out the clip above. These are speed rushers vs 22 personnel. Of course they’re going to get gashed.

Exactly, and it’s a horrible way to utilize 59’s Strengths.

Oh, I agree. I just think that notion was probably heavily dependent on the belief that Newton would be back healthy.

We're basically developing a rookie quarterback this year. And while that's not a bad thing, it's not conducive to winning right now.

We discussed this and n the pre-season. Especially Luke being wasted. Didn’t your brother have similar thoughts this was coming.

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
