Get StartedAndy dalton just beat the Vikings with no defense. He's not making excuses.
Bunch of giant pussies who can’t tackle. And clueless in zone. Slow in man or miss press. Can’t turn corner in pass rush. Blitz always picked up
Even so 20 or 17 allowed if not for dumb penalty should be low enough for lions to beat panthers defense with more points
Everyone but Stafford should be embarrassed
Well, we can't expect even a defensive savant like Matt Patricia to confuse a QB like J.P. (sic) Walker or outmaneuver such a seasoned NFL coach like Matt Rhule. It was just too much to overcome.
Not about confusing them. It's about the Dline manning up and winning their matchups. They didn't and were missing people too but so were the Panthers (Okung and Miller). Same with the blitzes, all of them got picked up. CBs were slower than Moore and Anderson who are good players. Mike Davis leads the league in missed tackles forced, that continued some.
Walker had all day to throw
So it's ALL on the PLAYERS and the COACHES are blameless. Got it.
This one is mainly offense but not Stafford. Giving up 20 is actually a decent day especially given the short field on the Ragnow fumble.
And the Panthers rushed 3 and dropped 8 in coverage and it worked. Thats the thing you guys hate most of Patricia. Peterson, Kerryon, Oline sucked and all the weapons sucked. Hock was fine receiving but was terrible blocking.
Stafford blew, the OLine blew, TEs blew, WRs blew, RBs blew, coaches blew, the team blows.

All those things made it look like Stafford blew. But he actually didn't. No run game, weapon separation and drops kill any Qbs numbers. Stafford wasn't misfiring or missing open receivers. Nobody was open and the game plan was atrocious. Plus he was under pressure. When he did throw it, it got dropped often
If you are playing a team as shitty as the Panthers, a good QB shouldn't need a run game to produce. The Chargers had a similar rushing performance and Herbert (a rookie) passed for 366 yards and 3 TDs. GB had 53 yards (AR 311 / 3 TDS) Watson 55 yards rushing 344 yards 2 TDs
It wasn't one thing. If run game isn't working, you need protection, open receivers. You need to not have penalties when you throw great TDs. You need people to catch the ball and not drop it
All of things didn't happen to Herbert and Rodgers. They had protection and open receivers and people hung onto the ball. And look what happens when a receiver messes up. MVS fumbles and Green Bay loses
