Panthers - Seahawks Primer

Here are a few tidbits I found interesting concerning the matchup Saturday in Seattle.

 

Where they are now:

 

Seahawks are on a 6 game win streak

Panthers are on a 5 game win streak.

 

 

Earlier This Year:

 

In their matchup earlier in the year, both teams had identical offensive efficiencies ( .33%) . Both teams had 9 drives. Both teams had 3 three and outs. Both teams had 2 turnovers. The difference in the game? One team scored a touchdown. The Panthers won the time of possession by two minutes.

 

Fun Facts:

 

Jonathan Stewart out performed Marshawn Lynch in the first matchup, and has since being named the starter again in December.

 

Cam Newton is tied with LeSean McCoy for 4th place in rushing touchdowns since 2011 at 33TDs. Marshawn Lynch is the leader at 48.

 

Cam Newton ranks 4th all time in the NFL for most combined rush and pass yards in their first 62 games, ahead of Dan Marino.

 

 

For the entire 2014 season:

 

Seattle ranks 6th in first downs per team. Carolina ranks 12th.

Seattle ranks 1st in fewest first downs allowed. Carolina ranks 12th.

 

Cam Newton ranked 27th on third down passer rating

Russell Wilson ranked 22nd on third down passer rating

 

 

The Seahawks are....

 

8-0 When leading at halftime.

4-4 When trailing at halftime.

0-2 When trailing after three quarters

0-2 vs a 100 yard rusher (important!)

Never has our first few posessions mattered so much.  We need to run over that front 7 early and often

 

Especially for Cam's sake. His demeanor and play really seem to sway with the breeze. It would be huge for his confidence and our momentum if we could march down and put points on the board that first drive.

Is there a reason we keep ignoring the fact that the last 3 games were in Carolina? Do you just not think that will be a factor or what? Serious question.

Because it's been shown in the NFL that a good defense travels. This defense went into ATL and NO and basically shut down their offenses. That's the reason every analyst is saying the game depends on which Cam shows up because it's a given the defense will ball out.

Exactly, I'm not worried about the defense. I'm worried about the offensive performance and if we couldn't score points against them at home how are we gonna do it on the road in the playoffs?

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
