Did the Fox intervention really hurt the defense?

Fox got involved with the defense after the Tampa Bay game.

Till that point, they had played the teams with these offensive rankings

11

26

17

6

24

14

1 of the 6 teams were top 10 offenses.

Here are the rankings of the offenses they played post Fox involvement...

1

4

29

30

6

8

14

2

7

1

7 of the 10 teams were top 10 offenses.

So you tell me, was it Fox getting involved in the Defense making the defense look worse, or was it playing against better offenses that did it?

Would the defense have been even worse without Fox's involvement?

Very possible.

I think the biggest question mark will be what in the hell happened to the D in the final quarter of the NO game and the 1st half of the playoff game?

I dunno about the final quarter, but I honestly attribute some of the playoff game to the fuging bye week. Nothing like one of those to kill momentum.

As with any problem, there are usually contributing factors. Have to consider that the health of the defense also started to decline at the same time that the team played the most difficult part of the schedule.

But, the fact of the matter is, the Panthers were able to shutdown some pretty impressive running backs early in the year only to get stomped on by lessers during the second half of the schedule.

And, you still can't get past the fact that Larry Fitzgerald was more open than a 7/11 during the one-and-done playoffs. You can argue that things could have been worse without Fox's involvement, but you certainly can't argue that things got better.

youre an idiot, the defense couldnt get any worse, its not possible.

Things can always get worse -- the Panthers weren't the lowest ranked defense anyway. I mean, sure they gave up 28 or 30 points a game, but it could have been 40 or more points. So look on the bright side . . . :coolgleamA:

...and the secondary forgetting what planet they were on at times.

Blame who you want but horrible coaches was a big part of our problems. I cant count how many times the LBs and CBs looked lost in games last year. Poor coaching leads to that.

Opponents offense should never really matter how well our defense plays.

If you have a good defense, that good offense won't look so good.

Teams are going to score and move the ball, that is going to happen, but if you have a defense worth a damn they won't get pushed around up and down the field all game long.(like what happened to us)

      Also confirmed that Andersen was injured and not 100%. Said he could've kinda played but really can't do that this time of the year.

      Every union, union adjacent, or union tangent organization does this. They prey on dumb employees  who think the union is there for them instead of the mob or some other social-politically entangled arse. Always degrades the product and indeed the price of that product too. Then money flowing up to people with 0 to do with anything about the product. Its the most simple protection racket and oldest in the book yet people are still sub 70 enough to think it matters for anything other than making money for the racketeers.  I mean this is on their Wiki(yeah i know wiki) The NFL Players Association is the labor union representing National Football League players in matters concerning wages, hours and working conditions, and protects their rights as professional football players. So instead of the player doing that with his own agent which is why you have a fkn agent lol. So they are pilfering money from the player twice. Agent then NFLPA The standard annual membership dues are approximately $15,000. While players are not legally obligated to formally join the union, those who choose not to are generally still required to pay a mandatory service fee equivalent to union dues. Can't take anyone seriously when they talk up unions and since the mob is involved that's why you get those refs doing NFL ref poo. You can even hear former mob Michael Franzese just open admit this now that he's out of prison and making YT videos.(has been for years now)
