Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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!
    • 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. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
