Smoke and mirrors defense

[Jmac]

Seems to be a trend with this bunch. They never rise to the occasion and all the hype. They are average (at best). 

All the money spent on the secondary and they still get burned on a regular basis. The pass rush disappears from game to game and JAG running backs slash them up.

Is Snow's schemes at fault or is the talent over rated.....or both. I don't see them as a top defense.

Same old poo...defense shows up when offense doesn't and vice versa.  Couldn't score touchdowns, now we can and defense poos the bed

[Cam's New Arm]

With the exception of Gilmore, which was a cheap move, every move they've made this season has been to set us up better for next season. This season was never supposed to be great.

This team is trying to win while rebuilding. But we are still rebuilding.

Basically this. Like WTF were the defensive coaches doing this week?

[Shocker]

Shet happens

If they keep Ruhle around they are going to be “rebuilding” every year that bozo is on the sideline

Jax is horrible in man coverage, burns is horrible against the run, Carter gets easily blocked

btw…did Shaq play today?

When you can get 8-9 yards per rush like Washington did today it doesn’t matter what the rest of the defense is doing. Panthers got absolutely worked in the run game and it opened up everything else they did. Heinecke played efficient football and has clearly gotten better than his time on the Panthers, but the run defense is the Achilles heel and teams that can just put a man on a man and block, the Panthers don’t have the size to win. This defense is too small on the edges to compete.

Hog Mollies. Need more. Go back to 4-3 you can't rebuild with a bunch of undersized guys. You'll have a little success but not for long.

Rhule couldn't get the biggest fastest strongest guys so he relied on tweeners and overcomers.

The NFL game favors BIG guys especially up front or rushing the QB.

[MillionDollarCam]

Heinike made some plays today, no doubt… though it does make it easier to play QB when you can turn around and hand the ball off to Gibson, McKissic, an offensive lineman, and probably a fan, knowing that they’ll get at least five yards running it down our throat.

[Qu1million]

Jackson also pisses me off...his position is always in play but his effort is questionable at times and it irritates the ish out of me 

[rippadonn]

Prototypes exist for a reason. Speed over size/strength in the NFL is futile. We can be fast all we want but if our guys get trucked it means nothing.

Hahahaha please tell me what what the fug sending a draft pick for gilmore who won't be here next year does for the future? Trading a good te and draft picks for a corner thatd rather focus on a rap career does for the future? Foh apologist. Tepper wants to win now and this staff is stuck in the big east.

[GoobyPls]

This is only the second game all season where they have been overwhelmed. I’ll give them a pass
