Our Defense Is Good

The defense has been a mixed bag. With the exception of the Giants game, they have kept the opponents score down to a level where a decent offense has a shot at winning. But they are also giving up quite a few yards. A few more three and outs and they will not have to spend so much time on the field.

well, generally when they have generated a turnover or forced a 3 and out....the offense either turns it right back over or goes 3 and out.

Our defense will NOT stay good if they are on the field like that game in and game out. They will wear down, and injury becomes more likely. I remember our defense wasn't that bad during the 1-15 season, but they just flat wore out. Our offense has to staep up. We can win close games, but the '3 and outs' are the key. If we can cut down on them, our defense might be in position to be a game winner. We are getting our fair share of turnovers, some of them are likely to break for a score at some time.

lots of missed INT opportunities. lack of stopping 3rd down conversions...the fact that they were on the field for 82 plays and couldn't get themselves off the field...these are all problems.

i do like that they were able to contain the points but they aren't dominating. the offense needs to help them out for sure by being able to stay on the field but the defense needs to be doing better at getting themselves off the field as well.

    • Was just explaining this to some dummy named Willy in another thread. I think he was just smoking’ too much cheese.  This has been going on for ages. Trent dilfer got all the ladies and threw just as many TDs as interceptions. This was the more violent era of football. The soft mfrs wanna see the passing TDs but the truth is that ain’t what ultimately wins football games. It’s a STRONG D, and an unstoppable run game, with some passes to keep the defense honest, if a for a TD great. in fact I would venture to say that the two panthers super bowls consisted of the same except cam threw more tds than interceptions and could run like Jamal Lewis and priest Holmes. its a tale as old as time. Something all ball knowers understand.  
    • This team just traded a 2nd round pick for Bradley Chubbs. Edge, Miami Dolphins. 
    • Ngl, as good as I felt about us after winning yesterday, when they showed the top NFC teams on SNF, I realized what a crazy year this is.  The NFC seems uncommonly top heavy.  As of today, we aren’t anywhere near playoff positioning, which at 5-4 seems very, very weird compared to most years.  I know things will shake out further as the season goes on and it likely won’t look the same, but I have the feeling it’s one of those years that you’ll need like 11 wins to get in as a wildcard. seems very like a very pantherish thing to rebound this year and that’s what it would take.
