Panthers are #1 Defense in the NFL

Hope to see this type of pressure continue. It’ll be interesting to see how a defense like this plays against Tom Brady who is known for quick release passing.

That is amazing. Just got my tickets for the Thursday night game against the Texans.  Let's go!

When your secondary can cover when you blitz 6 or 7, they will also be top 10.

Literally every time we blitzed, we got a sack or Winston throwaway. Some of them were coverage sacks. Really impressed with how well the coverage was today.

Great point, adding Horn was like the missing piece of the puzzle. Everyone on defense has stepped it up, especially Jackson.

Only 46.5 rushing yards per game, 25% 3rd down conversion rate. Compared to almost 50% last season. 

I'm really impressed with the huge improvement in both these stats so far.

The entire Dline has a stat in the sack column through the first 2 games ... dont think I've ever said that before. 

Seriously!! 8 players with sacks in 2 games!!! Whereas it took us 3 games last season to get sack #1!

Horn should have had 2 interception but other than that his name has been silent.

I mean this in a good way.  They just don't throw his way too often.  Talking about a stat-less ROY.   He just shuts receivers down.

I'm joking about ROY but am serious he would never been considered because he's stat-less.

I bet the entire narritive from the talking heads this week will keep talking about how the Saints lost the game rather than how we won it . Usually how it goes.

Yeah, I read the game summary @nfl and while they mention the QB play from other games and even gushed a little and made excuses for Fields 6/13 + fumble + Int, they didn't say one word about Darnold's great game. I guess that crow doesn't taste to good. I don't know because at my table they served Saints.

We'll get some love this week for sure.

Saw the potential over the off season  threw pre season. One of the main reasons i was excited about this year.

I know everyone wants to keep hyping our pass rush, but our Rushing Defense especially on the line has been insanely good. We made Kamara a non-issue. 11 less ypg rushing than the next best team(TB) and 20-25~ less yards than the first major pack behind TB.

If we came in with all those issues they would have said, "Well, it's the NFL." The first video I watched, the dude said, "Well, they had all those coaches..." Get out of here!!! You can't go into the game talking about how well coached Sean Payton keeps his players and how they do well with the next man up situations. Then blame the loss on the next man up situation.

Yeah, that wasn't an issue when they picked the Saints to win. Only 1 half of the Bleacher report picked us. Everyone else picked the Saints and everyone knew about the coaches being out.
