The same defense that kept us competitive the past several weeks and now we are crapping all over it.  How about an offense that put up only 14 points of which 7 of them came on busted play that allowed Coker to run straight down field uncovered? 

This is such a weird take. The defense has been trash all year.... Why are you so quick to run to the defense of a unit that has allowed more points than any other team in the the league?

Hmmm, the games the defense played the best are the games Bryce won. Point being, our defense isn't great, but our QB can't compensate for it.  Manufacturing more than 3 TDs is too big of an ask apparently.

I'd settle for the defense being below average. They are the worst in the NFL. The offense certainly hasn't been good but the defense has been flirting with historically bad.

“Defense played their best”

yet those teams all scored more points against us than 85% teams they’ve played this year.

got it.

Until today they had been improving over the first half of the season.  I'm not arguing the defense isn't bad, what I am saying is the games that we have been in lately the defense has kept the point total manageable to where the offense didn't have to be spectacular to keep us in games.

It would been hard to get worse than historically bad lol. So what you're saying is if the defense plays bad rather than historically bad we have a chance. Understood.

Bryce can't put up the points to cover the 30+ point output that teams were laying on us earlier in the year.  So the defense did improve, scoring wise, to aid in a 20 and 23 point output to beat the Giants and Saints respectively.

Exactly, the defense play has to coincide with Bryce having a career day.  Winning formula going forward, right?

Big picture, just improving the defense ain't fixing sh*t unless the offense gets fixed too.  Not unless we get like an '85 Bears defense where the offense can be an afterthought.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
