I predicted this going into the game. A blind man could see that coming from a mile away. What I didn't see coming was how bad this defense could truly be scheme wise. It needs a complete overhaul. Sadly we also need another RB and a couple more WR's as well.

Scheme of the D is great. Talent is abysmal.

Yeah, but Evans and Irving were better than anything we had today. We definitely need to draft and develop better. Been like that for years though

Irving was one of the pups, though.  I think they had two young Divsion II WRs out there today.  People here are quick to point out Coker went to Holly Cross and that our WR corps is so crappy having to ask a D-2 guy to step in the lineup.  The Bucs have a couple of D-2 guys at WR and don't need to make any excuses for their passing game.

Really? I mean, I fully expected this defense to be completely eviscerated today without Horn and not having a run game on the other side to minimize their time on the field.

The soft zone allowed 2 no name players to look like pro bowl players out there. They left Evans wide open on 3rd down time after time. Evero is done here.

Theilen would be a #3 on most other teams. No shot at him, but if he's our best weapon on offense that tells you how bad Bryce has it trying to carry this offense.

That's why he's always open, he's a #3 quality WR?.  Thielen's main limitation is if Bryce can hit him. Only 67 players have more receptions. He's not a #3.  He's honestly a #2, although our #1,  and the fact that Bryce relies on him so much shows how valuable he is.  Thielen happens not to suck because he wasn't drafted and 'developed' here.  If so, he probably would be a #3,  if in the League at all.  Thank you Vikings for showing us what a WR should look like.

I'm at the point in which it's really hard to discern whether it's the scheme or our players that's causing the bigger issue. Either way, it's probably best for both parties to go our separate ways and go full reset on our defense.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
