The defense is decimated

[Xtreme]

At least one potential positive, this would allow to field a bunch of no names, but it's possible we find someone who was overlooked and ends up being legit.

if it was literally decimation, the defense would be in better shape compared to this

It really is wild how many players we’re missing on that side of the ball.

One of the worst parts about it is our defensive line has been healthy all season, yet we are 31st against the run. Our run defense is just awful.

Gee whiz, didn't know that. That's pretty bad.

Has there ever been a team where every starter on one side of the ball ended up on IR?

If not, we could be on our way to being the first.

Yet people still suggesting we trade Burns.

 

This team is in a bad position. After we trade Burns we have a roster full of no names. Tough times to be a Panthers fan.

 

 

I feel like this is part of the reason you trade Burns. We are next to last stopping the run and he’s a huge part of that. If he’s not going to be a game wrecker in the pass rush ( and he isn’t on that level yet ) then it doesn’t make up for how poor he is against the run.

Trade Burns? Why? You have a GM who can’t evaluate the value of draft picks acquired. The same GM can’t evaluate talent talent. Wait until the next GM and let him make the decision. It will not be long.

Saw Ellis post we're giving up 5.7 ypc on 1st down runs. I get guys are injured, but to give up more than 5 yards every time an opponent runs on 1st down points to poor tackling and gap discipline first and foremost.

Which is why I’m starting D. Pierce this week

While I didn't expect us to be elite defensively against the run, I didn't expect this. It also screwed me over in fantasy... used my week one waiver claim on Tyler Allgeier. Little did I know at the time, the Panthers just sucked immensely and made him look like a star.

You can trade Burns for picks, or WR help and a pick, fire Scott in the offseason and let the new GM make the pick.
