Panthers 'D' not holding up their end of bargain

(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) TAMPA, Fla. -- Once upon a time, it was the Carolina Panthers' offense that betrayed solid showings by the defense to facilitate losses.p/Seems like a long time ago, too.

They have played enough game minutes to qualify as a full season already, get off the D's nuts.

Agree with the poster above me. Besides, we only scored 16 points. Not gonna win many games scoring just 16 points

[Doc Holiday]

as before said, defense has already been on the field way too long because of our putrid to get any blame even if the other team puts up 30 points a game for the rest of the year

i think offensive penalties killed this game's momentum. not the d.

You really have to take into consideration who wrote the article as well.

Dumb to write an article blasting the D. They have put in work ALL season.

Offense AGAIN at best put up 1 offensive TD....yet people are acting like the offense finally did something:rolleyes:

You will if the defense can hold the other team to less than 16 points.

I think it's completely fair to criticize the defense for this game. They've played admirably throughout the season, and they've certainly had little help from the offense, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they played horribly today.

The offense played just as bad or worse than the defense, so the article is bunk anyway. The offense still isn't nor hasn't all year held up their end of the bargain.

Fumble leads to a TB touchdown. Defense gets a turnover on the 50 and the offense can't do poo with it...

Sorry but no, it's not fair to criticize the defense because the offense has, and probably will continue to blow balls.

Today's loss WAS the D's fault. Yes the O was weak, but Tampa just wore the D out. I don't care how tired they are. They signed up to be an athlete. Today even Beason looked like a high schooler out there. I doubt Clausen could've pulled off the comeback, but after that Cadillac run it didn't matter.

The O signs up to score points, more points than the other team.

And if Beason and CO. look like high schoolers, the OLINE looks like YMCAers.

The Panthers offense still sucks and could only get fg's when they started with great field position. That being said the defense never gets off the field on 3rd down this season, last season, and it seems like forever. This has been a problem on this team for way to long. Hopefully this changes when the new coaching regime takes over.
