Tied w/ Indy for most points allowed

163 points.

Technically, you can say we're worse than Indy in this category because their defense has had 410 plays against them to get those points versus our 345. With 65 more plays who knows how many points we'd have given up.

Edit: Also, we are tied with them for the 28/29th spot for most points per game.

Clearly, something is horribly, horribly wrong with our D besides injuries. We weren't this bad last year. Surprising considering Rivera was a DC.

Even Jake Delhomme is ashamed of our Defense.

Forcing turnovers is the biggest thing. It does so much for the O and the D. A lot of defense are not that great in terms of personnel but are able to get turnovers.

Oh for sure... this is a huge problem.

But making defensive stops can eliminate points from turnovers. For example... we had the Falcons in a 3rd and 12 and gave up 20+ yards on a key drive that ended in 7.

It seems like we are trying to play zone defense but sucking at it. When I watch our defenders, it looks as if our guys are moving in slow motion to the ball or stopping a play.

So much for an attacking defense. :(

technically you can say that St Louis, Denver, and KC are all below Indy and Carolina since they have had a bye week and are giving up more points per game

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
