Do we still win this game if defense dont score a TD

Why do people do this? It's a team effort.  If the defense scores a TD it's 6 points in the books. PERIOD That's like saying the Ram's only punted once.  They also had 3 turnovers.  

The Rams have probably the best offense in the NFL but, it shows if your defense can come away with a turnover or two.  You have a chance to stay in the game.  We got 3 turnovers and each one mattered.

I am not crapping on the team effort....yesterday was the first time I have been excited watching a Panthers game, so hats off to the team for actually getting me into the game.  With that said, if this team can't win without turnovers, we are not making a deep playoff run and its that simple.  3 Interceptions against SF and we got 3 points because our inept offense.  Now, we scored off the fumble, so I will give us that, crazy 4 and 2 play call to keep the drive alive.  Two other interceptions and we only score when the defense does the scoring for us.  Its a team effort, its always a team effort but from my perspective the defense is hitting on all cylinders when it comes to the turnover battle and our offense is pretty much garbage when given opportunities to turn the tides in our favor.

I feel like turnovers were a big part of 2015. Like a huge part.

My point is, you don't win on offense alone. The defense did what they needed to do to help this team win. The Bears are living off of turnover wins.  Turnovers against high powered offenses is a must and what we needed to do.

Stating the obvious, it is called complimentary football. 
 

Offense has to do it’s part to get the turnovers and stops cashed in. Unless defense totally takes it into their hands. One of those picks scoring would probably have made a big difference, Monday. 
Offense at least keeping their defense on the field yesterday in that 3rd quarter paid off with the run game later.

Thieves Avenue.  
 

Which neither here nor there, for some reason that nickname wasn’t a home run with me. Compared to the great nicknames of the past.
Legion of Boom was a really good one, I have to say. Doomsday defense. Fearsome Foursome. Steel Curtain (Cold War Iron Curtain reference, for the young people). Some others I am not remembering. 
Purple People Eaters was cool. Offbeat but cool. 
edit: seems like I like the ones with alliteration. Or maybe everybody likes it. 
 

and one OL group that I remember, The Hogs. Seems loike defenses get the names usually.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
