everyone bitching about the offense and this coaching staff, remember...

[electro's horse]

they built this defense.

Players on this defense from 2019 are who, Burns, jackson and Thompson?

Overall, is anyone really complaining about the defense? 

Careful what you wish for...

[LinvilleGorge]

The people who watched the last two games are definitely complaining about this defense.

[PNW_PantherMan]

We've invested tons of resources into the defense under Rhule.  The entire draft last year, our top pick this year, multiple picks next year (trades for Henderson and Gilmore).  They looked strong early this year, but teams have figured out how to attack them.

this defense is not as good as people and stats make it out to be

it can and has been easily exploited

The defense has had three chances to close games out this year vs. Minnesota, Philly and WFT. Each time they failed. So yeah, I'm complaining about them too. 

Matt Doherty recruited the UNC team who won the title in 05. That doesn't mean he was the right guy to lead that team to greatness.

I’m complaining about EVERYTHING!!!!!!

There is a ton of talent on defense. That Talent is has been able to overcome poor coaching more times than not. When the defense needs the coaches to help them make adjustments when things aren’t working it has failed them every time.

maybe WFT, sure. But as I said Heineke just went saiyan on them.

Philly? Panthers defense ended that game how many times? Not their fault the panthers offense couldn't hold on to the ball.

and when in the world could they close it out against minnesota? was it when the panthers were down 17-25 going into the fourth?

well its a good thing the coaching staff was blessed by the defense talent fairy and they didnt draft those players

[Fox007]

Not sure what that has to do with defenses knowing our offense and running WR routes for them, murdering them on known plays where they are at the exact route depth, and bragging about it during and after the game.

Talent isn't helping this offense because this offense already has talent at the skill positions and they still can't get open because thats how that works when the defense knows the play.

Well, the overtime drive where they marched right down the field after Darnold had somehow engineered a miracle comeback. If we got the ball back we probably would have won that game.

We've already fallen back to middle of the pack in points allowed. We'll probably end the season as a middle of the pack defense statistically. It is what it is. We're just falling apart as a team.

Cousins threw the best pass of his life

if the offense doesn't spend the game shitting on themselves it doesn't require miracles.
