Over It

What will we do to blow next week's game? It'll be as safety and we'll lose by a point. I've never seen any team shoot itself in the foot so much ever. What makes it worse is this damn schedule. Teams like the Chargers are 4-1 and haven't played anyone. There's no doubt in my mind we should be 5-0. Spotting teams points is awesome. Let's just spot the Saints 7 points off the bat and challenge ourselves!!!

This really makes me wonder if we would be 5-0 had there been no lockout.:beatdeadhorse5:

Well, if you call giving up 30 points, shooting yourself in the foot, then ok. Because thats the real reason carolina is losing these games. Its not 1 play or 1 bad call, its a defense that cant stop crap. We have a decent offense, we dont have an offense capable of putting up 40 points every week to compensate for the defense. if Carolina had a decent DT, teams would have 3rd and long and not 3rd and 1 etc. I dont recall New Orleans having 1 3 and out the entire game.

On the way home from the game, listening to Sirius NFL Radio, Jim Miller and the other host (never can remember the guy's name), stated that the "Panthers have hung in there with the best teams in the league and the are

2-3 defensive players away from being a championship team'.

This maybe true, it may not be true, but, having a rookie QB and a new system, if you had told me we would even be competitive, 3 months ago, I would not have believed you.

Newton gave us hope for the season and sometimes having hope sets unrealistic expectations.

The defense is a sieve, sadly and until that changes, the Panthers are what the record says they are.

Can't hear the '.... but but but we have injuries...' crap...all teams do. Teams that drafted well, cut injured players and move on survive. Those who don't, have defenses like the Panthers. Love Thomas Davis, but, not the smartest move to resign someone with 2 ACL repairs, and here we are.

The defense needs to be rebuilt and I don't just mean DTs. The LBs really need to be looked at as well and by the time we do that the offense will need rebuilding.

I guess reality is a lot of holes were left from the previous regime and if Hurney/Rivera

don't go to free agency to fix #2 receiver, DTs, LBs and secondary, I'll be either too old to afford tickets to see them win or dead.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
