Pertinent. 

currently third worst in the league. Playing way more cover three than anyone else, over half the time, probably because we simply don’t have the players to do anything more complex and don’t have a versatile enough front seven.  
 

compare that to the chargers, bears, and saints who are running a wide range of coverages. Adds weight to the argument the coaching staff can’t really figure out the defenses. Obviously there’s nothing Dalton hasn’t seen at this point.

They can't figure out their own D so what makes you think they are going to figure out other team's Ds?

Brutal chart

Chargers proved my point. They scored six in the second half because they didn’t need to do anything else. 

because of how like math works even if only 4-5 teams take their foot off the gas in the second half the panthers aren’t getting to the all time record. 

Chargers didn't "take their foot off the gas".  That is just how they play and Jim Harbaugh coaches - he has always been extra conservative.  They have far and away the fewest pass attempts in the NFL.  They average 17 PPG for the season.  And they scored 20 points against us in the first half.  

How does a defense giving up 20 points in one half to a team that averages 17 per game prove your point?

Currently giving up 33 PPG, good for 4th worst overall - less than 1 point away from being 2nd and a FG away from being #1.

I think I will be more surprised if we don't break the record... If we trot Bryce out there again at any point this season, I'll be even more confident we have the worst defense of all time

Because they could have scored every possession if they wanted to. Was he not extra conservative in the first half? You can’t have it both ways. 

plus, let’s wait until after five games (3 with an injured qb) before we start tossing out PPG as a metric for how good an offense is. Chargers completely handled the panthers and could have kept scoring in the second half if they wanted.

Yeah, let's just ignore the fact Herbert suffered that high ankle sprain against us that also contributed to their low output in the second half.

Nobody is having it both ways.  You said they took their foot off the gas.  I am telling you that is just how the Chargers play + Herbert getting hurt.  

Chargers offense wasn't good in Week 1 even with a healthy Herbert.  It isn't a good offense.  Their WRs outside of Ladd suck, and he's not a WR1.

This defence is abysmal. Whether there are injuries or not, back ups & practice squad players should at least be able to make a tackle at this level of football. Dan Morgan said at the begin of the season that they wanted "dawgs". This defence has no dawgs, no mongrel. Just weak as piss.

      Dude is a stud. 24+ touches a game. When Thielen comes back things will open up significantly again. His loss has meant that much.

      I just don't include the games that Bryce Young started. I think that you get a clearer picture of the team if you look at it from a perspective of erasing those two games. It's obvious that the defense is bad, but the offense has greatly improved if you remove the first two games of the season.

      I have to say, I like the fighting spirit. The team has been absolutely decimated by injuries, and yet we saw a game that was within reach until we decided to hang our hopes and fortunes on Ian Thomas. You've got a lot of PS pickups, waiver wire snags, and depth players stepping up and doing their best to contribute. Will it be a winning effort most times? No, probably not. They're bench-warmers for a reason. But they're certainly trying to make a game of it. I like to see Andy smiling and having fun, but then get big mad on the sideline. He's clearly not in this for a paycheck.   You can hardly get mad that a team that squandered its future on Bryce Young, lost it's best player on defense week 1, and is starting depth players at almost every position has only 1 win at this point in the season. But I think I can see the hazy outline of a winning culture forming. And it simply has to be said, I think we have an RB of the future to build around in Chuba Hubbard. He's rapidly going from a lunch pail contributor, to a legitimate star. That's not something I was expecting.
