Or Rhule just chose that he didn't want to deal with the press. He fired his OC, so he had to replace that. As for the other staff, some were fired and others left of their own accord. It doesn't matter, you're going to believe whatever you want anyway.

Whatever

So in your mind: "Rhule appears to be still lead chair"= "Rhule is diminished."

You mean this one where he said Rhule appears to still be lead chair? It says the exact opposite of what you said. What exactly from John Ellis says that he has some source that Tepper reigned in Rhule?

Link?

You mean like the...Rhule has diminished authority this year... thing?

Yet again, the huddle is only going to believe the parts that fit their narrow worldview. No surprises there.

Gasp. You take that back. RR would have never left a crapshow behind. He was a genius.

Its fascinating how many huddlers hate that stat. Damn Rhule for having the second fewest yards allowed. Hate that guy. /sarc

As, I said, I don't know how anyone watched the games last season and came away thinking we lost because of our D. Which game was the shootout?

I don't know how anyone watches the games and goes: "Our D lost us that game."

Told ya.

Mr Scot: I watched the games so I knows stuff.

He was talking about on the thread dude. Sheesh. I am sorry we were 2nd in yards. Can we move on now to the OP? You can't maintain a lead when you are 29th in points scored, 30th in offensive yards and 31st in offensive turnovers. Its hard to get a true evaluation of the D because they faced the 2nd most defensive drives at the 32nd ranked starting field position, because the O was turnover central. The offense averaged less than 18 points and 298 total yards a game. I don't know how you argue the D is the cause of lost leads.

Yes commentators and huddlers cite the #2 defense because we were 2nd in yards allowed, a commonly used stat to eval a D. It apparently bothers you, so much that you argue it with people who don't even mention the stat. Go argue it with them. This thread is discussing if the 10 lost leads can be blamed on the D and I call bullshlt.

We aren't claiming its a #2 defense... so you are arguing with yourself on that one. Hope you win. The OP makes the pathetic attempt to blame our 10 lost leads on the D. Its a laughable statement "at best" as you like you to say.

Isn't that what we had? A minor lead (first score) with no offensive support?

The OP supports Matt Rhule on this one: https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2021/10/12/panthers-hc-matt-rhule-blames-defense-week-5/ Panthers HC Matt Rhule gives defense share of blame in Week 5 loss.

This stat explains the OP stat. Expecting a D to stop all scoring, shows a lack of understanding of how football works. Anyone who came away from watching our games and said we lost because of our D, must have slept through the 2nd and 3rd quarter.

Tell me you don't know anything about football without saying you don't know anything about football.

Stop with the logic. We don't do that here.

This. They ran on us because they didn't want to pass often for whatever reason. If we didn't have the 32nd ranked defensive starting field position and the 2nd most defensive drives, we wouldn't be talking about the run game. We lost Reddick and Gilmore. We are going to see what the D looks like without 2 of the best players. I hope they prove the naysayers wrong.

Not worried. OBJ and Robby are on two different worlds level of diva, and its not even close.

That's because our offense scored on the first possession and then took the afternoon off. That is not a defensive stat.
