The Panthers can make history on Sunday in 3 different defensive categories. 

First- Most points allowed in a season. Currently, the Panthers are 7th with 496 points allowed. For reference we only allowed 470 in 2019. The top 6 shakes out like this-

  • 1981 Colts-533
  • 2020 Lions-519
  • 2023 Commanders- 518
  • 2008 Lions-517
  • 2021 Jets-504
  • 1966 Giants- 501

Next, the Panthers have allowed the 12th most rushing yards in a season with one game left to go and will likely crack the Top 5-

  • 1978 Bills- 3,228
  • 1980 Saints-3,106
  • 1978 Colts-3,010
  • 1977 Chiefs-2,971
  • 1981 Patriots-2,950
  • 2022 Texans-2,894
  • 1979 Packers- 2,885
  • 1978 Seahawks-2,876
  • 1976 Chiefs-2,861
  • 1950 Colts- 2,857
  • 1973 Patriots-2,850
  • 2024 Panthers-2,830

Finally, it also looks like the Panthers could crack the Top 5 in Total Yards Allowed in a season. Right now, they have 6,340

  • 2012 Saints- 7,042
  • 1981 Colts- 6,793
  • 2021 Jets-6,765
  • 2015 Giants-6,725
  • 2020 Lions-6,716

I'll update this thread with the finals next week.

Fair enough, bottom 10 instead of 5 in history now.

Yeah we surely suck and our scheme is too passive to me. I want a DC who likes to blitz, create pressure and use more man press coverage. I think that scheme helps hide weaknesses instead of magnify them with our lack of pressure and bend until you break prevent zone.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
