I Blame the Defense More Than Jake

How do you leave Fitzgerald open all day? If the defense could have stopped the Cardinals from scoring, Jake wouldn't have had to throw the ball on every down. And once again this defense played lathargic, which is an indictment of the coaching.

I think Mike Trgovac need to be gone. The defensive game plan was inexcusable.

Panthers also need to draft a QB in the upcoming draft.

Question

Trog & Fox worked together during by week to come up with the defense !

Fox as a HC should have realized either in prep for game or early on that the defense was not getting to Warner

Sure Fox changed it at half time ,but why wait so long ?

Why not in your bye week plan on doubling FITZ

Why not plan on knocking Warner out with the Blitz, and rotating Peppers all over

If this is what a bye week does for Fox

PLEASE don't ever have a bye week again

Richard Marshall has been absolutely lost all season, and that hit its peak last night. Hey, Richard, when you are the only one attempting to switch on the crossing routes, you're doing something wrong.

Also, the 7-10 yard cushion may work on teams that throw the ball down the field, but it does not work against a quick passing team, such as New Orleans and Arizona. The key to disrupting timing routes is to throw off the timing. You can't do that when you are giving such a large cushion.

We knew our secondary sucked.

We knew Jake has good games and bad games.

We should've seen this coming. Sigh....

Some of us saw SOMETHING coming... but nothing like THIS.

I don't think it's the defensive players, I just think they are calling the wrong plays out there.

Our Defense is just too average. I hope next season we can mix this season's offense with the 2002 defense. This year's defense couldn't force Turnovers or get off of the field on 3rd down. The bend don't break scheme only works if you force TOs and FGs. This defense was giving up yards and TDs. If were going to keep Jake then we need to have a dominant defense.

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl

      If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.
