Pertinent. 

currently third worst in the league. Playing way more cover three than anyone else, over half the time, probably because we simply don’t have the players to do anything more complex and don’t have a versatile enough front seven.  
 

compare that to the chargers, bears, and saints who are running a wide range of coverages. Adds weight to the argument the coaching staff can’t really figure out the defenses. Obviously there’s nothing Dalton hasn’t seen at this point.

They can't figure out their own D so what makes you think they are going to figure out other team's Ds?

Brutal chart

Chargers proved my point. They scored six in the second half because they didn’t need to do anything else. 

because of how like math works even if only 4-5 teams take their foot off the gas in the second half the panthers aren’t getting to the all time record. 

Chargers didn't "take their foot off the gas".  That is just how they play and Jim Harbaugh coaches - he has always been extra conservative.  They have far and away the fewest pass attempts in the NFL.  They average 17 PPG for the season.  And they scored 20 points against us in the first half.  

How does a defense giving up 20 points in one half to a team that averages 17 per game prove your point?

Currently giving up 33 PPG, good for 4th worst overall - less than 1 point away from being 2nd and a FG away from being #1.

I think I will be more surprised if we don't break the record... If we trot Bryce out there again at any point this season, I'll be even more confident we have the worst defense of all time

Because they could have scored every possession if they wanted to. Was he not extra conservative in the first half? You can’t have it both ways. 

plus, let’s wait until after five games (3 with an injured qb) before we start tossing out PPG as a metric for how good an offense is. Chargers completely handled the panthers and could have kept scoring in the second half if they wanted.

Yeah, let's just ignore the fact Herbert suffered that high ankle sprain against us that also contributed to their low output in the second half.

Nobody is having it both ways.  You said they took their foot off the gas.  I am telling you that is just how the Chargers play + Herbert getting hurt.  

Chargers offense wasn't good in Week 1 even with a healthy Herbert.  It isn't a good offense.  Their WRs outside of Ladd suck, and he's not a WR1.

This defence is abysmal. Whether there are injuries or not, back ups & practice squad players should at least be able to make a tackle at this level of football. Dan Morgan said at the begin of the season that they wanted "dawgs". This defence has no dawgs, no mongrel. Just weak as piss.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
