I Blame the Defense More Than Jake

How do you leave Fitzgerald open all day? If the defense could have stopped the Cardinals from scoring, Jake wouldn't have had to throw the ball on every down. And once again this defense played lathargic, which is an indictment of the coaching.

I think Mike Trgovac need to be gone. The defensive game plan was inexcusable.

Panthers also need to draft a QB in the upcoming draft.

Question

Trog & Fox worked together during by week to come up with the defense !

Fox as a HC should have realized either in prep for game or early on that the defense was not getting to Warner

Sure Fox changed it at half time ,but why wait so long ?

Why not in your bye week plan on doubling FITZ

Why not plan on knocking Warner out with the Blitz, and rotating Peppers all over

If this is what a bye week does for Fox

PLEASE don't ever have a bye week again

Richard Marshall has been absolutely lost all season, and that hit its peak last night. Hey, Richard, when you are the only one attempting to switch on the crossing routes, you're doing something wrong.

Also, the 7-10 yard cushion may work on teams that throw the ball down the field, but it does not work against a quick passing team, such as New Orleans and Arizona. The key to disrupting timing routes is to throw off the timing. You can't do that when you are giving such a large cushion.

We knew our secondary sucked.

We knew Jake has good games and bad games.

We should've seen this coming. Sigh....

Some of us saw SOMETHING coming... but nothing like THIS.

I don't think it's the defensive players, I just think they are calling the wrong plays out there.

Our Defense is just too average. I hope next season we can mix this season's offense with the 2002 defense. This year's defense couldn't force Turnovers or get off of the field on 3rd down. The bend don't break scheme only works if you force TOs and FGs. This defense was giving up yards and TDs. If were going to keep Jake then we need to have a dominant defense.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
