Rhule blames the D when asked about offensive struggles

I'm not mad about this. He isn't deflecting, he's saying this isn't solely on the offense and it's not. The D took their foot off the gas and blew it, a team issue that predates Rhule. I don't want our head coach giving that a pass just because they did better than the offense. 

And yes, the expectations are higher for the defense. Giving up when it counts isn't going to cut it with how much has been invested in that side of the ball.

Look, he’s not wrong.  We have invested a lot in this defense.  It’s easy to say that great teams should be able to score with 2 minutes left to win the game.  But great defenses should also be able to hold a 2 score lead and close the game out.  The defense had some huge busted plays in the 4th that were unacceptable.

 And spare me the “they were tired” crap. Panthers won the time of possession by a long shot (34 min to 26 min).  The eagles defense spent 8 more minutes on the field then our defense and they managed to close it out when it mattered.

He didn't put it on the defense he clearly talked about the team top to bottom. But that statement is a fact anyway "when you have the guys we have on defense with a lead in the 4thQ we should win that game"

Facts.

All draft defense
All FA pickups defense
All trades defense

Be the unit that wins the game then, you have all the resources and no excuses.

Great idea, Rhule. Deflect the blame from your poo QB and shift it to your defense that dominated most of the game. I'm sure they feel great about constantly having to carry the offense through games. 

For f*cks sake the defense gave up 1 legit TD. The rest of their points were caused by a Sam Darnold INT and a blocked punt. 

It’s going to be a long season fellas

If they fall on the fumble like pros we win.

Not getting that defensive score was inexcusable.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Cheers OP. I wanted TMac to be the pick and was so excited, and surprised, when his name was called.    Last year, I wanted one of the Xaviers, Worthy or Legette. So Dan has been delivering on my wish lists. Now I hope it pays off over the next few years.    With our trade up last year into the first, we could have a dynamic WR duo on cost-controlled contracts for 4 years.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      Yea I have it.  When it flares it can be very severe.  I had an extended hospitalization a couple years ago and it took a while to recover.  Can’t imagine trying to deal with that as a pro athlete.  It’s hard enough as a desk jockey.

      Before Shadeur Sanders there was Ryan Mallet

      By lightsout · Posted

      I think the difference is that The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam were just big personalities with big time talent (The Golden Calf of Bristol just lacked any consistency, leading to most of us hating him because it felt like he pulled big plays out of his ass). Sanders is a good talent who is completely full of himself and the ego feels unearned. You should WANT to change the bad culture of the losing franchise you expect to go to as a top pick...but that's a thing you keep to yourself or articulate well enough that it doesn't come off as "we're doing poo my way, if you don't like that, don't draft me".  You don't create an entire room touting yourself as legendary when you did absolutely nothing legendary at the collegiate level. Nobody is going to be fondly remembering Shadeur Sanders the college QB. Johnny Football is there, Cam is there, Vince Young is there, RGIII is there, The Golden Calf of Bristol is there.   Sanders needs humility and to pry himself away from his father. His father is going to tank his career before it is even started.    Sanders may bounce around the league as a backup for a few years, he'll play in select games and look like a backup but he'll have that one game where he pops off and that game will be used to say "see?! He's great!" and then he'll get the start and never live up to that game again.
