Miami Dolphins: 5-5 overall, 1-4 on the road.

New York Jets: 3-7 overall, 1-4 on the road.

Oakland Raiders: 2-8 overall, 1-4 on the road.

Cleveland Browns: 3-6-1 overall, 0-4 on the road.

Detroit Lions: 4-6 overall, 1-4 on the road.

Green Bay Packers: 4-5-1 overall, 0-5 on the road.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 3-7 overall, 1-5 on the road.

San Francisco 49ers: 2-8 overall, 0-5 on the road.

What do all these teams have in common? None of them are making the playoffs.

Well the main thing they have in common is poo defense and an inconsistent run game. Yeah, I think we're still relatively high in the run offense rankings, but a lot of that is Cam and trick plays involving WRs. Our base, block 'em up and grind it out, run offense is spotty at best, and worse on the road. Defense and run game is what's supposed to keep you afloat in road games, we don't have that this year.

This is actually terrifying, and it 100% goes back to our defensive problems.  The old saying "Defense travels" is showing itself to be true.

Teams giving up more than 250 points this year are 13 - 47 on the road.  Teams giving up less than 250 points are 51 - 46 - 2 on the road.

It's the pass rush. Pass rush can prop up an otherwise weak defense especially in a hostile road game environment. Panthers just don't have it this season. Last season the Panthers were killing it on the road early in the season. Started out 3-0 with a signature victory over the Patriots in New England, sacking Brady a few times. This season, without a miracle comeback, they would be 0-5 on the road. This team is not making the playoffs if they can't legit win a road game.

Agree. Would not be unhappy investing a first and third round pick in edge rushers next year. 

Good news is this draft is LOADED on the defensive line. 

Poe has lowkey been a disaster. I feared we were going to miss Star more than we originally believed and it's come true. 

Other than defensive line all our picks should got to offensive line: LT, C, G in that order

 Should defintely be a draft focused on the Oline and Dline. We have enough talent at the offensive skill positions and at LB/DB . 

Even the Oline has been pretty decent. We mainly need a long term answer at LT , a replacement C for Khalil. We dont NEED a LG but would be nice to upgrade.

Dline, I think we need two young good DEs. Mario is good but not great and Peppers will probably retire. We have almost nothing at DE and I believe its the biggest hole on the team. 

DT, I think we have enough talent but we're vastly under- performing. We just need to find a way to get the guys we have to play much better. Maybe replace Poe with a FA upgrade.

If we go  6-10 or 7-9 I honestly woundn't mind trading up for a premium pass rusher or the top LT in the draft. 

won't have to trade up for a premium pass rusher if we go 6-10

Honestly if we lose this weekend that's what I'm hoping for at this point

Fire Rivera. Hire the next McVay. Cut ties with some of the vets that are clogging our cap space. Sign a serviceable LT for next season. Draft pass rush heavy.

It's relevant because we have pretty much zero shot of winning our division. Thus, any hope of winning a playoff game rests on us being able to win a road game.

If we cannot beat TB and CLE on the road than we cannot win a playoff game on the road.

We are well past due to see how this team performs with an creative offensive HC

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.

      So Kyler Murray gets praised as the best little QB...

      By CRA · Posted

      Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.

      We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
