OUCH. This stat hurts!

Bill Voth has an interesting post this evening:  3 Panthers Numbers to Know

http://blackandbluereview.com/3-panthers-numbers-july-20/

Nice factoids.  But one of his numbers / stats is pretty painful.  I had no idea this figure was this low.  OUCH.  Gotta pull this figure up boys.

Since 2011, the Panthers are 8-22-1 against teams that finished with a winning record. That’s a winning percentage of just 27 percent.

Rome wasn't built in a day.  We were the worst team of the decade after tanking pre-lockout 2010.  2-14 in one score games the first two years of this regime.  We've been to the bottom.  And are now much closer to the top, not just of our division which we own, than any outside our family knows or wants to believe.  And will be on top for a LONG time.

I believe it, never fear!

2011 and 2012 were growing and developing years for both Ron Rivera and Cam Newton. We were in salary cap hell with Hurney and had terrible drafts 2009, 2010, and 2011 (minus Cam).

Since Gettleman took over, that stat is better 4-8-1 (35%) with wins over the 49ers, Patriots, Saints, and Lions. And that was with a massive re-build and a ton of injuries last season.

This franchise was run like poo for a while. Some of that is fixed...and JR finally hired people to hire people. I think as long as he doesn't meddle or delay things, which he probably will, things will get better.

No reason to freak out about a statistic like this. It has shock value, which is why it was chosen, but it really shouldn't surprise you when you sit down and think about it. Our record is just one game above .500 during that span and I suspect that our winning percentage against winning teams is not far from average among franchises that also hover around .500. Fellow NFC South teams have had a penchant for slightly below .500 records over the span (three instances of 7-9 records out of 12 combined seasons), so that is six barely missed opportunities (which we split 3-3) for games against opponents with winning records. Moreover, when you lose to a team, they are more likely to finish the season above .500 and, conversely, when you beat a team, they are more likely to finish the season at or below .500 (a 9-7 team becomes an 8-8 team if you switch a victory against us to a loss. It also makes the game irrelevant to the statistic). I'm sure the record would change (however slightly) in our favor if the stat concerned teams that finished above .500 not including their game against us. Most importantly, we've been rebuilding over those years, which happen to be the first four years of our quarterback's NFL career.

The scariest stat to this day is that we are 0-5 after a Bye in Rivera era. Against teams like the Vikings, Titans, Cardinals (during average year) too...

 

Oh...and this year our bye week is the game before we play AT Seattle..

Hey if you give Ron plenty of time to prepare and think, well that's what you get.  

 

He is at his best when he just goes on instinct and doesn't think things through.

    • Man, we're desperate around here.  I had to look at Peppers' stats to see if I'm missing something, but no, he's an average guy at best.  Nothing impressive at all in his stats.  He's not a true safety at all, and I'm kind of annoyed with the jack of all trades players at this point.  Of course I see the PFF scores and everything, but I'm old school.  I believe the stats tell more about the player than the analytics.  This ain't moneyball here. (haha)  The best players put up numbers.  And when I look at the numbers, Peppers is just another player running around on the field.
    • People see what they want.  I have also stated since the moment we drafted Bryce….a badly owned team was screwing HIM over by setting him up to fail by coach/scheme design.   Core criticism isn’t actually Bryce…it’s Carolina/front office.  I could see Bryce being good.  I could see Canales being good.  But I don’t see them as a pairing.  Football is about fit.  Board is doing what the board does.  People were idiots who dared question the All Star staff.  People raged when Fitterer was criticized.  They raged when Rhule was criticized.   Until they didn’t.       
    • Yeah and to make it weirder Moehrig is a FS, Peppers is a SS.
