Through 6 games, Panthers would lead the NFC South in following categories

1. Points scored (112)

2. Points against (186)

You  look at our board and we focus so much on offensive problems but our defense has been extremely poor

My rebuttal is the terrible offense has put our defense in some very bad spots and they’re worn out by the 3rd and 4th quarter when most of the opponent’s points get piled on. 

I think we can just say the team has not played complimentary football.  It's so much about momentum and it seems when our defense needs the offense to maintain a drive or two,  they're unable to do.  I think since the defensive injuries it's mostly been defense that is unable to create the stops when they're really needed.

This is definitely part of it.  We have at least 14 points scored by the defense Franklin at Minnesota and Hill this past Sunday as well.  Plus we have been turning it over regularly aside from last game.  Is also doesn't help that our best CB, both Safeties, and MLB have been injured most of the season.

Good points on the defensive scores. 

I stopped watching this team at halftime of the Lions game, but until then, I felt all the teams’ problems were around some awful and costly fumbles (by Bryce / Miles), inability to commit to the run (play calling), and panicked pocket presence by Bryce.

When you lose half of your defensive starters and you had no defensive depth to begin with, it makes sense. The defense looked pretty good prior to the Lions game (outside of the Seahawks game). Not to mention I feel like we have had about 8-10 turnovers which have given the other team a TD or the ball inside our 20 yard line.

Also, I would say about 1/3 of our points scored have come in garbage time or against prevent defenses.

At the end of the day, both units have been absolutely terrible.

Bad offense hurts the defense.

An offense that can't score, can't get first downs, can't move the ball, and can't keep on the field all cripples a defense, especially over the course of a game. The longer the offensive ineptitude goes on, the worse the defense does.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
