Defense has found its swagger, but can they keep improving vs. NFL's top offense?

The Panthers have defeated them the last seven years in Louisiana and swept the season series a year ago.

“I think they do a great job of getting after the passer,” Brees said of the Panthers front four. “They’ve kind of historically been that type of team and I think they do a great job of taking the ball away. I think you see what they do defensively in their scheme with the addition of Ron Meeks as the coordinator and then what John Fox brings, you see him doing a lot of different stuff.

“I think they like to change it up quite a bit. They don’t like to give you the same looks over and over again. They constantly challenge you and try to give you different looks. They’ve got some pretty good pressure packages as well.”

Lewis knows knocking off the NFC’s lone remaining unbeaten team won’t be easy.

After watching them on television Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons, he found himself in awe of their effectiveness.

“They’re like a machine,” Lewis said. “It’s always getting up to the line of scrimmage quick, getting the play called and getting the ball snapped. It’s a quick process. It’s like 15 seconds and they’re in and out of the huddle ready to go. They are very efficient on offense.”

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
