If "best defense" is the team that gives up the fewest yards, even though we have played one less game than most teams. Sure, we are the best.

The top 4 teams on that list have a combined 3-15 record.

Yep! As I said, opposing teams will do just enough to win. Example the Seattle game, after the fumble with 5 mins to go, they bleed down the clock without scoring. Our "best" defense could not get us the ball back. Against the Bills, we let the rookie QB march all the way down the field. Giants game, psssst, that's an aberration.

I was looking at that same list (some guy posted it on the panthers facebook feed or something). Of course stats per game are what we need to look at. In ppg, the most important defensive stat, we're #3. In rush yards pg we're #7, pass ypg we're #8 and total ypg we're #3. I'd say that's pretty damn good especially considering our anonymous secondary.

Top 10 in every major category and #3 in both of the most important ones.

Honestly, at this point, this is how I feel about the whole team, Cam, offense, coaches etc;

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
