"The worst run defenses are never as bad as the best run defenses are good, but this year also had one of the worst run defenses in DVOA history. Charlotte resident Scott Spratt has been lamenting this all season long in Audibles, and drawing attention to it whenever he recommends you play your running backs against the Carolina Panthers in his Sit and Start columns.  The Carolina Panthers allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per attempt and 31 rushing touchdowns when the next-worst team was Jacksonville with 23. So the Carolina Panthers have the worst run defense DVOA of the century. It's interesting that most of the worst run defense DVOA ratings are from before the year 2000. This continues even if you go down to the top 20 or top 30."

I know Hurney is supposed to be the worst general manager in the history of sports, and we had a lot of injuries, but this roster isn't that different than it was the past few years.

Eric Washington might turn out to be the most incompetent DC in league history.

We were the worst team against the run of any team, this century.

The worst in 20 years.  Every scrub rb was getting career highs on us.  3-4 hasn’t worked and it could work we just don’t have the right personnel to pull it off.

We had the identical roster the year before (we only lost Mike Adams and the corpse of Julius Peppers, and actually added McCoy/Irvin/etc), and were only slightly below league average in rushing defense.

So it seems like it was mostly all scheme.

Only 2 years ago we were 5th in run defense DVOA with Wilks as DC.

seriously, toss some googly eyes on a box of rice crispys and it would have been better than Eric Washington.  Ron's REFUSAL to take away play calling duties from him directly lead to why he HAD to be fired.  Thing that pisses me off is why he decided to hire Wilks as DC in washington, but let fuging the clusterfug of Eric Washington stay as playcaller here.  There is rons problem in a nutshell, he can't admit when he's wrong even when its been proven time and time again.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
