Game Grades - Seahawks at Panthers

[Beast_3000]

No way the defense gets a A, the front seven maybe. Two many miscues in the secondary, for that high of a grade.

I agree. They gave up the game winning touchdown and let the Seahawks run out the clock. I would give them a B maybe (B+)

Deangelo  gets an A for effort and an F for execution.

Allowed 12 points to a team that normally scores 30+.

 

Don't sweat the small stuff.

 

The small stuff cost us the game.  Overall grade on D is too high.  Front 7...ok, but secondary sucked.  I suspect you just want to blame the loss on Shula.

The defense usually scores a healthy portion of that 30 pts a game (if that avg is even true). 

 

Seattle is a run first, slog it out team; not a high scoring one.

No. Scoring 7 points cost us the game.

 

You cannot expect a defense to hold a team like the Seahawks to 6 points to win the game.

 

The offense should be expected to score 14.

Cam doesn't deserve a D.. those big drops by Olsen and the fumble by D-will are not his fault.. He did everything required to win this game

Zod-does not mean that you do not call out the secondary for their role in this.

Agreed. 

 

The Panther D under Rivera, has an annoying habit of having overall good statistics, while they (usually the secondary) can't hold teams when they need to, sealing the win. It can be very annoying. 

 

I think this is because Rivera and his coaches, doesn't know how to make proper 2nd half adjustments.

As a whole, did the defense help or hurt our chances today?

Agreed.

If you think allowing only 12 points is a meaningless statistic... well... I can't help you,.

Helped and hurt.

The run defense was awesome. Pressure? Great.

The pass defense left much to be desired, the same as it has for the past couple of seasons.

I'd say a C on defense is fair.

Russell Wilson...25 of 33 for 320 yds.  You tell me.

 

Just saying...you can spin this how you want.  Front 7 was very good.  The rest of the D was noodle like.  Would that have been enough if Olsen did not end drives with drops and DWill not fumble?  Yes.  But, did not change the fact the pass coverage sucked.

SMH

 

 

Then I guess you give the offense a Z- ?

I never said "meaningless". You said that. I said "overall good statistics". But for some reason, the Panther D can never hold a team in the second half when they need to. That was my point. It's more ironic, interesting, than anything. 

 

On the converse, I've seen sucky defenses like Indiana's last year, who will play a porous, unimpressive game to be sure. However, once the Colts got the lead late, they were able to secure it for the win.
