Official Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions Gameday Thread!

[Shocker]

No way this defense is that bad.  Nobody tackling, half effort bullshet.  Play some backups...seriously.

[JawnyBlaze]

Of course Rivera doesn’t challenge the play he should obviously challenge. I though live it looked out of bounds. Smh

[Jmac]

No way this team can go anywhere with this defense...can't fix it this year.

Eric Washington needs to be fired. This defense is unacceptable 

Dude, what tools do you expect him to work with!?!?  It's not like he has multiple pro bowlers in every unit to work with to make a defense that isn't absolutely atrocious.../s

It’s not on TV in my area. But it sounds like the same old, tired defense. 

You would be correct. Huge runs, Dbs have no ball skills...same ol same ol

[LinvilleGorge]

This will end up being a bottom 10 defense when all is said and done. We just have to come to every game ready to win a shootout. We can't stop anything.

Reddit is your friend.  I live in Tacoma WA and games are never played here ( besides Thursday Night )

It’s not just playcaling. Our defensive tackles are getting fuging pancaked out there. This is like watching fua and McClain except we actually have talent out there. It’s like the defensive players don’t give a fug. There is no heart on that defense.

There is bend don’t break ... then there is our d : bend then break

Rivera has to fire Washington and take over play calling if we are to do anything this year.  

I agree the play calling has been bad but our front 4 is getting bullied every single down. There isn’t a magical playcall that’ll fix that 

[TheRed]

At this point if Washington goes then Ron should be following him. After the Shula debacle this is another disaster entirely on Rivera.

[CPF4LIFE]

Terrible tackling, best corner has no ball skills, derensive head coach has no awareness to challenge bad calls, defenders look lost and out of place. I hope this offense can get good enough to the point where they can carry this team on the regular. 

[ncfan]

For a Team built around the Defense under a Defensive coach.  With a Defensive built around the front 7.  Then front 7 playing among the worst in the league is flat unacceptable 

 

Someones needs to be held accountable and be gone.  And that needs to be Washington.

Its dam near the same D if not slightly better without Worley and Coleman. Yet we are Real bad.

The lack of a challenge there allowed them to just walk in on us
