Some of these doofs really are trying for that lol. Not only that but if they just fall on a fumble we win too. Defense fuged up down the stretch...its like its hurting their pussy to admit this.

Yea the defense creates back-to-back turnovers and you get great field position and no points off of them. That darn defense if they could of gotten atleast one more turnover we would have won it I tell ya.

Von Miller was really the only speed rusher. DWare is a big dude...traditional DE.

6-4 260 not a monster especially considering Charles Johnson was 280 at 6-2 

von is like 250

malik Jackson was 280 playing DE

not to mention trevathan and Marshall were both a bit light at MLB both around 230

derek wolf 295 at 3-4 DE across the board a little light for a traditional 3-4 in ether case I feel we compare favorably

Overall, our defense was not the problem in this game.  At all.  Multiple defensive turnovers, got a safety, though a TD would have been nice.  They had 273 total yards.  This should have been an easy win with this defense, but it's hard on a defense to constantly be defending short fields because the offense keeps handing the ball right back.  The offense was just garbage after the 1st quarter and there is only so much the defense can do.

Sam Darnold has probably thrown 4 picks the last 2 weeks inside own territory. Outside of the deep ball given up by Sam Franklin, the defense held its own. Factor in a punter that averages 39 yards per punt, we dont put defense in advantageous situations, last couple of weeks.

If the offense would have gave us atleast 1 quarter that would have been enough to beat the Eagles. 

Listen I said in the the op that the D is greatly improved...however it had a complete collapse in the Cowboys game and it collapsed in the 4th quarter today. We have a glaring weakness stopping the run when we need too.

We can say the same thing about CMC and our rb situation. They're awesome until we need to pick up a yard on 3rd and 1.

6-4 260 is a monster for a 3-4 outside lb.

I didn't quote you, so your op wasn't who that post was responding to.

No defense in the NFL is perfect, and no modern NFL defense is going to shut down an offense for the entirety of the game. Outside of the Dallas game the run defense has been above average.  Eagles have one of the best duel threat Qb's in the league as far as being able to run the ball. That puts stress on run fits when you have to account for that. 

Unbeknownst to Panther fans but some teams do have competent offensive lines that can get you a yard or two when it's needed.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
