Offense lost this game plain and simple

Our D held the panthers to 1 of 10 3rd down conversions, if our O cant score more than 13 points and expect to win then thats embarrassing

Yep,

Panthers are averaging 30 points per game at home. We held them to 17.

Our defense played their asses off.

No doubt about it. They did. Still, at the end of the game, one defense rose to the occasion and one did not.

I'm certainly not pinning the loss on the defense. There's enough blame to go 'round.

I am of a different opinion but at the same time of the same opinion.

Our Defense did play their butts off and they did do what they were asked to do. The problem is that they are consistently asked to play prevent near the end of a game when we know that is not a strength. I fully believe if they were asked/told to do what they did for 58 minutes of the game, the last 2 minutes would have been different.
