Is it wrong to expect that, given how good we know the defense can play based on last year's performance, we would actually out-perform last year's team? Particularly with how Newton has wildly exceeded expectations?

Well the fact that it's a different defense entirely means you probably shouldn't expect it to be the same. Beason's gone. We have two rookie defensive tackles. For all the poo people gave Marshall, he was better than anyone outside Gamble on the roster.

Besides, last years defense was just average. It just got puffed up because the offense was so very, very bad.

It just looked average because it was on the field 75% of the time.

They were on the field 3 more minutes a game than league average. Bad, but not some amazing stat. They gave up yards, but made it up by being good in the redzone. A place where a defensive leader and star player like Beason probably makes a huge difference.

So it's all about one guy being on the field? Seriously? Some people might think that coaching has a lot to do with it too.

So, coaching is supposed to make 2 rookies strong enough to anchor a line? Coaching is supposed to make Omar Gaither as good as Beason? Because of injuries we don't have the pieces to be as good as last year when we were average. Thus, we will be bad. You can't just "coach up" a lack of talent at damn near every position.

Let's go over this AGAIN. Rookie Coach. check

Rookie qb who was picked #1 overall and had all kinds of crazy expectations on him. Check

Odd off season with limited time to get the new staff and team together. Check.

Lose the heart and soul of your defense. Check

I mean come on fellas. What did you really think was going to happen this year? This is a house money season. Nobody picked the Panthers to win more than maybe 5 games nationwide so just take a step back and be objective.

The instability of some of ya is scary. Yeah I know it's a message board but good God.

:rant:

Our coach is not a rookie. He has been coaching in the NFL for 12 years. It doesn't take a year of being the HC to learn when to take a timeout or how to teach players to be disciplined.

Our QB is a phenom and a top 5 NFL QB.

All of you that think somehow 1 year is the magic number are going to be pretty disappointed.

6 years of making excuses for a sorry franchise is getting old.

I'm with ya all the way on this, pal. Wanted to say the same thing last night but didn't have the energy to type it all.

None of us had any hope for this season until we started actually being competitive which gave us hope. We have to be realistic and wait for our new coaches to build the team. No reason to start bashing Rivera and wishing we hired Harbaugh. I think we've done wonders with what we have so be patient people. It'll come.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
