Carolina's "vaunted" defense (1 Viewer)

[Porter]

I'm not so sure.....to beat the Pats, they need to score points! You & me both know Brady will throw for at least or 2 TDs, if the weather permits it and probably kick a couple FGs.....are you sure Cam can do the same?

The Panthers need to score around 20-23 points to win. I'm not so sure they have the QB to do that.

Brady tends to struggle against teams that have a good defensive line(example: week 5 against the Bengals). If the Panthers defensive line plays the way they did against SF,they wont need to score around 20-23 points.

Carolina is a top 5 team and playoff bound. They are very good and if they get in the playoffs they will make ALOT of noise. I dont think we hanging 30 on them. We will split with them in a tight game.

They have the #2 run defense in the NFL and I'd say SF has a pretty good oline with RBs and they didn't do much. For us, luckily we have a slightly better QB than CK in SF.

(and yes, that was sarcasm before people flame me for the "slightly" term)

Lol that isn't a problem for Carolina. You're selling Cam short. Carolina's offense was dynamic last two years. This year they changed philosophy, more of a ball control/efficient offense now. Carolina leads the league in time of possession.

Ok so help me out guys, the last four meetings we've averaged about 35 ppg.

I know they've added Star Lotuleilei up front, but who else has been added since last year?

We didn't have a running game last year either, and Drew isn't playing as inconsistently as he did last year.

I respect those guys & we always battle with them, but I can't see them holding us to their avg, not if we play anywhere close to the way we did last week.

Ok I see he came over from Oakland, and Drayton Florence is there now but honestly it's all about the front seven as I'm sure you know. As they go so goes the team's chances from now until playoffs.

How good is Carolina's Defense? Well let's take a look.

They haven't allowed an opposing Offense a First Half Touchdown all season.

Let's think about that for a minute, to not give up a TD in the first half through 10 weeks... Imagine what our record would be if we did not give up any First half TDs?


Oh and also
12.8 Points per game - 2nd.
282 Total yards per game - 2nd.
82 Rushing yards per game - 2nd.
3.8 Yards per Rush attempt - 9th.


Yeah they are really good.

Our record couldn't be much better than 7-2 no matter what we did.

they get a lot if quick pressure on QBs and many sacks making their UDFA CBs look great
