Panthers now have the #1 pass defense in the NFL!!

The games against Arizona and New Orleans coming up will show us what we can expect from the defense for the rest of the season, IMO.

You really think this D could hang with the Colts, Saints or other high octane offense? I don't.

no i don't. i think/know the bucs and bills offenses are the 2 worst in the league. maybe throw cleveland in there as well.

face it, you stink, we stink just enjoy the games.

We are 23rd in points allowed at 24.2, 28th in Ints with a measly 3, and 32nd in passes defended with only 19. Sacks are a little better, ranking 12th with 15 and in FFs we are 7th with 8.

Lets wait until we plays some teams with good passing offenses and look again in a few weeks.

Total yards for what it is worth is a crappy stat to tell you what is really happening.

That's because no one has to throw the ball against the Panthers. They're 24th in the league in passer rating (91.3) and 12th in yards per attempt (6.6)

You look at who's number 1 in passer rating at 54.6, they're 14th in passing yards per game because teams are throwing the ball 12 more times a game against them then they are against Carolina. They're also #4 in passing yards per attempt (6.1).

The objective of a teams defense is to stop the other teams offense and so far this season we are the best against the pass and and 5th overall not matter what the haters say we are that good on defense.

You got to factor in we had a bye, some teams haven't, so we naturally going to have less yards against our defense than those teams

Too bad our defense is being Delhommed.

[Catdaddy]

Special teams have gave up scores, so that aids the defensive stats. We have been turning the ball over, giving the other teams a short field to the end zone, and thats makes the defense stats look good also. Stats are for losers, and thats what we are!

I need a link to see who's shoveling the bullsh!t this time. It's laughable only...I'm not laughing.

Heh, a prime example of how stats don't really paint a picture. You would never know it from all the touchdowns we've allowed thus far.
