Is this D better than the 2003 Super Bowl defense?

is that last sentence a typo?

 

No. 

 

The 05 defense forced more turnovers than the 03 defense did, which helped compensate for an 05 offense that struggled, and had no real weapons outside of Steve Smith. 

 

During our Superbowl run, we had a pretty good offense to go with a very good defense.  Stephen Davis, Moose, Proehl, and Steve Smith gave us a very effective offense with some good weapons.  When we went to the NFC championship game in 05, it was mainly on the strength of our d.

ok that makes more sense.

I remember how explosive the 2005 team was but yes there were definitely some games that looked like our 2010 offense

Great defenses don't give up game winning drives over and over again, when the opposition has little to zero time outs and precious seconds left on the game clock. That goes for the 2011, 2012, and Panther defense this year so far. 

 

On top of that, the Panthers have only played 5 games so far this year. It's too early to say so.

not to be a negative Nancy, but what offensive powerhouses have we faced?

All the teams we've played have put up big points vs other teams.

But you have to keep in mind that they also played the Panthers' defense, and so the numbers are skewed as a result.

the seahawks maybe. but they padded their stats against the jags and their D Forces a lot of turnovers. Still, they run much more than they pass and I wouldn't consider them an offensive powerhouse.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By PantherChris · Posted

      This while he didn't single handily LOSE the game on any one play.....    He was a first overall pick, one we paid a fortune for..... the bar for him is a 10 foot dunk not a 5"8 children's rim.   32 for 49 for 287 with 1 td and 1 int in two games vs the worst team in the conference, two critically important games that we would be 9-5 and competing for the #2 if he had led us to victory....   Ive given him props for the TD to tet.... it was the best pass ive ever seen him make.....   But putting up these kind of numbers isn't up to par. Defenses stack the box and dare him to throw....  and he still puts up medicore at best numbers.    To win with Bryce young the entire rest of the team has to be absolutely perfect to make up for his deficiencies.... so while he didn't "lose" this game for us..... HE DEFFINATLY DIDNT GO WIN IT FOR US. (Which is the REALISTIC EXPECTATION)

      His O is just built on taking repeated shots and that’s not BY’s game.  It was always a round peg and square hole…. But I also agree with your post.  I hate OC HCs.  Especially green ones.   I never liked anything about the setup

      I get that. He's also trying to do HC and OC this year which I think is just too much for him. I think it's hard to call plays from the sidelines. That view from up top helps them see what a defense is doing better. A few HCs can do it because they have the QBs and experience to pull it off. DC has neither. I think DC may have spread himself too thin and Bryce isn't the QB to be able to pull of his end of it either. How much they compliment each other in creating this offensive bleh, yet to be determined. Doesn't really matter because it's still awful.
