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.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
