Yea because the defense in those Darnold shitfest games actual played good enough to be ranked 2nd in the NFL coming into this game.

The defense today was bad so your comparison doesn't even make sense. 

 

Maybe the defense isn’t as good as we think. After today, I have a feeling other teams are going to exploit it just the same.

I’ll urge you to question how many top starting offenses have the defense faced this year? 

I’ll save you the trouble, the answer is 1.

2 if you include the Cardinals without their starting QB and #1 playmaker.

Tom Brady lost worse to Washington a week ago, are they not contenders?

To this point, a exception to the rule was a bad game. A blip. That’s what it was for them.

This loss was the rule for the Panthers.

It’s not just them. Plenty of good teams lose to bad teams in todays NFL.

True.

But what about urgency? The Panthers had to win this. Everyone knew this.

Just how much better does cam have to play for us to win? Because honestly it won’t get much better than this. And it certainly won’t get easier except playing the Dolphins.

Oh stop everyone and their mama was in here praising the defense as being ready for a playoff push last Sunday night.

Not true. There have been a few posters that haven't jumped in saying the defense was playoff caliber or the team as a whole for that matter. The majority of fans have said the defense was super bowl worthy or whatever though.

Someone pointed out in the game thread that anytime the Panthers have faced decent to good teams and/or QBs, the defense has been exposed. That's largely true.

Hold up. You think this is the first time the defense hasn’t performed well? We’ve invested heavily there and it still falls apart. 
 

Edit: And what the hell is the “aren’t hiding their true intentions?” People can’t have the opinion that the coaching isn’t sufficient or that the roster still has critical holes to fill?

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
