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+)

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.

 

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.

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

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

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.

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.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Who is "they"?  Who in the media still argues that Bryce Young could reach the levels that people thought he would before the draft? I mean, nobody is going to come outright and bash the kid.  By all accounts he's a good dude and I think that is why you don't see the media come after him like they did Zach Wilson.

      It started during the Denver game after that first drive. i don’t think the panthers got a first down again until the fourth quarter.

      QB 2026 (For the Young Haters)

      The Panthers will finish with at least 7-8 wins.  So that leaves them with only two "smart" choices in my opinion: 1. Sign a reasonably priced free agent QB and see if they are better than Bryce Young in training camp - The issue is there will be very little options.  There is almost no way the Colts let Daniel Jones walk.  Rodgers, Flacco, and Wilson will likely retire (and is Wilson better than Bryce anyway?).  Winston is under contract with the Giants for another year.  That leaves Mariota, which I'm all for, but the Commanders will make a big push to keep him given Daniels' injury history.  Outside of him, there is literally nobody else. 2. Stick with Bryce Young for one more year - Nobody wants this to happen, but the Panthers won't be in a position to draft one in the first round and it isn't a strong class to begin with.  Mendoza, Simpson (and do we really want an Alabama QB?), and Moore will likely all be off the board by the time we pick.  Bryce isn't good, but we are still 5-4.  I'd rather continue to build the rest of the team than reach for a QB.  Then we could set ourselves up nicely in 2027 to make a splash play if we choose.  This is how we should have approached years past; stuck with Kyle Allen or Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater and kept building the team until we were ready to make a splash.  But every year we panicked and did something stupid. There is the idea you could throw a dart at a guy in the later arounds, but IMO this just isn't a good QB class and odds are it will be a wasted pick.  I still think we need a lot of depth on the defense.  I'd rather focus there.
