Do people expect a defense to be good

When the offense turns the ball over 3 times?

Talk all the sh*t you want about our defense, but we're not going to hold every team to 14 points. The defense put us in a great position to win late in the 3rd quarter when they forced a Falcons punt while up 17-14. We then put up one of the worst offensive series all game, punted them the ball and put them in great field position(on the CAR 49). The defense then forced a FG which tied the game, and our offense once again goes stale. That essentially ended the game.

Our interior line is poo. Our linebackers are poo. Our secondary is questionable(putting it nicely) at best. That doesn't excuse the offense for consistently coming up short in big situations.

we turned the ball over a poo load of times last year and our defense was a million times better in every way imaginable

PS. the last turnover was in garbage time with 0 seconds left, and the 1st one, there was pretty much no time left on the clock in the 1st half

I know I will change my post. Point still stands the offense is coming up short often.

I know our defense is absolutely horrible but our offense needs to step up. Most of it falls on the coaching. This post was by no means a slight to Cam.

says the cam nuthugger

cam can do no wrong is that right? cam had nothing to do with the failure of this team today? :rolleyes:

Please don't compare me to that troglodyte that is footballisasport.

I'm actually pretty level headed in debating about Cam.

First turnover didn't hurt the defense any and the third was irrelevant. The second one hurt, but I would say all the three and outs after we got to 17 points hurt more than anything else the offense did.

The first turnover cost us at the very least 3 points, likely 7. Momentum is a wonderful thing and a defense playing with a lead makes everything easier.

Just saying.

Tom Brady and Drew Brees throw picks all the time and you dont see them with one win. Just saying...

I would agree with you, IF our defense didn't prove you wrong every week and play like fuging swiss cheese when we have the lead....

Never said the defense wasn't partially at fault. I'm saying the offense consistently fails in big situations. You can't argue that.

We're simply not a good football team. I know it sucks to say that, but it's true. I'm hopeful that will change with a good offseason, but as for now we're probably looking at 3-13/4-12.

      [Joe Person] Jonathon Brooks had a successful 2nd ACL surgery - Expected to miss all of 2025 Season

      By TD alt · Posted

      He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.

      [The Athletic] Panthers’ offseason to-do list

      Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.

      A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
