2013 Seahawks 9th best scoring defense all-time, 2013 Panthers 12th best all-time

So, the problem is on offense?  I guess that's new and refreshing!  Marshawn Lynch is a big difference maker between the teams - or simply put, clock management and ball control.

 

Very aggravating considering what little has been done to improve the offense.

Even more frustrating is that the defense lost a few players that provided quality depth.

From the article:

"If you ignore the Z-score and look at just the PPG above or below average, the top defenses since 1978 are Tampa Bay 2002 (+9.8), Chicago 1985 (+9.4), Seattle 2013 (+8.9), Carolina 2013 (+8.6), Pittsburgh 2008 (+8.2), and Baltimore 2000 (+8.0). That’s five Super Bowl winners out of six teams, the maximum possible given this combination."

Cool stat.  And for the most part, Carolina's defense is still intact.  The front 7 will be exactly the same save for some new additions.  Secondary remains to be seen, but I have high hopes for Cason since he played his best seasons under Rivera.

I think everything fell into place with the d because Ron and co were coaching for their lives.

Now the heat is just simmering and everyone is thinking rebuilding so no pressure.

I don't think RR ever coached "for his job."

I think I know what you mean. But...don't all coaches coach "for their job" every game?

Rivera is Rivera. You know what you are going to get from him. He is willing to listen and grow, but basically he is going to be/coach the only way he knows. Give it your best, and let the chips fall where they may.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
