I think @Zod made a great point during the game that this is what the defense looks like without a press man corner.  Cousins was able to hit his mark and throw the ball without much real pressure.  Without that kind of strong CB play, we needed our pass rush to win today.  They did not.

Then add in the fact that we were unable to convert 3rd downs for most of the day, it was just a LONG day at the office for the defense.  Sam, the WRs, the OL - our offense is just not good.  What has Rhule been doing?  Praying that CMC saves his butt?  No.  Rhule needs to get it together, figure out what kind of offense we are and do it now.  That's a lame ass excuse.  You either are able to execute, or you need to figure out how.

Is the season lost?  I don't think so.  Again, I'm going to be hopeful because that's just more fun than being a pessimist in general.  Then again when the Panthers screw things up, I've got other good things in my life so I guess that makes it  easier for me.

If you look at our third quarter stats for the season, it is insane how poorly we play in that quarter.

It really is and it is a well established pattern going back to last season too. Teams have been known to be second half teams and stuff like that but I don't know if I've ever seen poo the bed for a specific quarter quite like this.

I 100% agree with the statement that Jermaine Carter is not a starting middle linebacker. The guy is horrible. I have watched every game and actually been to one( Dallas). Each time I have watched I specifically watch him on defense. The dline will do their job but he will not, hence the defense giving up all those rushing yards the past few games. He is just out of position and slow to read and react. This team needs a right guard, left tackle, qb, and middle linebacker in the worst way.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
