Was the defense better because Whitehead and Jackson didn’t play?

Lions had 0 weapons on offence. Galloday and Amendola out leaving only Marvin Jones. Swift out leaving AP to carry the load since I guess Kerryon Johnson is in the doghouse. Stafford obviously hurting though he's average at best anyway.

Panthers were missing McCaffrey and starting a backup QB in his first start ever so I think that evens out.

First shutout since 2015 today. Noticeably better defensive performance without notorious underperformers in Tahir Whitehead and Donte Jackson. Coincidence? Or something that needed to happen 7 games ago?

Jackson? When not banged up, no. Whitehead? Hell to the yes.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
