Remember last off season when the only player in our secondary worth a damn was Charles Godfrey?

The Huddle is going to censor this, so it won't have the same effect, but fug poo up Greg!

[UpstatePanther]

Panthers players fixin to be all like...

 

 

 

 

and from pools of blue gatorade poured from Cam Newton emblazoned bottles... 

[JBloc]

This excites me.

We NEED the offense to feel disrespected and pissed off this year. If they play as focused and angry as the defense...lawd.

[Pox 08]

It is annoying listening to all the asshats on ESPN and NFLN talk with 100% confidence that all of our WRs are going to crash and burn this season.

 

 

The worst thing that can happen is - Olsen is our #1 receiver this year.      Like he was last year.

If the playcalling doesn't improve though, folks...we're f*cked. After the scripted first drives, Shula's situational and red zone play calling last season was a monstrosity.

Those were both areas we excelled at last season. Look up the metrics.

Come on man. Really? You're thinking of a few 4th down plays. I'm thinking of the big picture. Consistent 3rd and longs, consistent red zone stalls. New Orleans game and both San Fran games come to mind.

 

It was give and take, but in our big game situations, we kicked way too many damn field goals.

That is exactly what I was going to say.

 

Shula's offense was not flashy, but was efficient.

Our TD per drive statistic was one of the best in the league....check you stats before posting.

We were also top 10 in First Down Statistics as well....plays that generated a first down.

 

Team First Down Statistics: 2013 NFL Season

 

First down statistics give an indication to how well a team is running its offense and extending drives with sets a new set of downs. Teams can be evaluated based on the total number of first downs achieved or on a rate basis by comparing to total number of plays, which shows on average how many of plays run are converted into first downs.

For first downs and first down percentage, the higher the better.

While I think that it's fair to bring that stat up, I also think that it's fair for me to say that we also probably had among the fewest plays AND drives in the league. Our offense is unsustainable. We didn't score enough points and we ran the same offense last year that worked in the 08 regular season and simply didn't in the playoffs.

 

It's unsustainable. While we may score among the best TD's PER CAPITA, it doesn't necessarily mean that we score enough of them.
