Looked like a college game with our run defense!

You WILL NOT win in the NFL when your defensive line gets completely blown off the line of scrimmage the way the Panthers D-line did today. This honestly looked like Alabama crushing some team like Georgia Southern in the run game. Dallas offensive line just man-handled our D-line, I haven't seen our D-line get handled like that in a long time. Huge run after huge run, gaping holes, missed tackles... this was TRULY the difference in the game. If you want to see what a championship caliber O-line looks like... well, you saw it today with Dallas. They completely embarrassed our defense! Dak honestly wouldn't have had to thrown one pass today... Our O-line is another topic all together.

I believe it's a one game slip up and they will get back to their dominance starting next week after watching some film. 

I sure hope so, because what I saw was our much talked about #1 defense, an NFL defensive line get pushed back 5 yards on run after run... to be honest, it's a bit concerning.

I believe its a learning experience.  They are still very young, and games like this occasionally happen even to veteran good defenses.  Personally, I am not that worried about this specific game.  But if we follow it up with another loss next week, that will be a concern.

I agree... we cannot let it be like the Pittsburgh game a couple years ago, Panthers must learn and let it fuel them, we'll see. I'm just concerned with our front 3/front 4... will we be gashed like this in the run game moving forward, were we truly exposed? If you watch the film, it was as bad as it gets, Dallas O-line was pushing our front 4 five yards back. Granted, Dallas probably has the best O-line in the NFL, but this is something Phil Snow really needs to look at and assess. I'm hoping it was just a glitch in the matrix, but DANG, that Dallas O-line looks unstoppable... I'll bet Dallas contends for the Superbowl if they stay healthy... that is a talented squad! I haven't seen Dallas look this good since the 90's.

The cowboys o-line is just that good. The majority of nfl team have subpar pass and run blocking 

Yeah I think also people need to come to the realization that we might never have a good oline. Finding talent is fuging hard. There is a lack of it right now in the nfl and those that find it don’t give it up. Scheme is very important and having a qb that can mask oline weaknesses either with their athletic ability or their brains.

The D was pretty darned good on the first half and never reacted to the adjustments the cowboys made at halftime. The same can be said about the offense. They just got bailed out by the Cowboys taking their foot off the gas and going prevent and pulling their best DB out of the game.

Eh the Defense was ok in the first half but only up until they got screwed by the refs. You could see them get completely deflated after that even if they did hold out ok on some drives. That game was completely on Rhule and Snow. They were made to look like college coaches by McCarthy and crew.

I am by far the most knowledgeable and biggest UNC fan here and I don’t know who has the worst OL - the heels or the panthers. I’d probably say the panthers only because they are paid professionals. Heels used three different centers yesterday and they were all terrible.

The interior defense wasn't too bad.  Zeke was making some really good cuts.  Best I've seen him run in awhile.

Biggest problem is our defense vs the edge runs.  That's gotta be fixed.  I said in another thread that I think Gross-Matos' return will help tremendously.  But DBs gotta step-up and play better too in that regard.  

Luckily for us... we don't play a team as good at running the ball as the Cowboys for awhile.

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
