I know we're all gearing up for the Tampa game tomorrow, but I finally have a bit of free time this week to post my "game at a glance" table from last Sunday's Saints game.  Enjoy.

Here's the side by side tables for both teams.  I'll then post each team's table separately below.  A reminder that these tables shows the details of every drive by each team.  The numbers in the columns "return" "run" "pass"  show any "big plays" by either team on the given drive.

A few observations:

1) This week shows clearly that a team does not necessarily need "big plays" to score.  Technically, New Orleans had no "big plays" as typically tracked and defined in NFL statistics (runs 10+ yards, passes 25+ yards).  In their two scoring drives to open the game, the Saints generally relied on passes of 8 - 11 yards, and runs of 4 - 8 yards.  They got the job done, including that 2nd drive when they moved the ball 94 yards for a TD after Carolina had pinned them on their 6 yard line.

So... take "big play" statistics with a grain of salt.  Obviously the only big plays that really matter are TDs or FGs.

2) Although we didn't score on our first drive, we did get well into Saints territory on that drive. None of the typical slow start on offense.  Nice to see that we had no 3 & outs until the end of the game.  As Cam mentioned after the game, (drives and opportunities were at a premium in this game, unlike the Houston game!) and it's great to see that we able to get in a rhythm quickly and respond to the Saints early 10 points with 10 of our own. 

3) Carolina scored all 5 times we were inside the Saints 30.  We scored 3 TDs on 4 trips inside the Red Zone.  Our Red Zone Efficiency (TDs inside the Red Zone) has increased from 33% to 50% to 75% over the past 3 weeks.

4) Unlike the Saints, we relied a lot on big plays to move the ball and to score.  Those 2 50+ yard passes were beautiful to watch!  More please!

What strikes you fellow Huddlers?

Getting the ball off of turnovers and the last two drives where we went three-and-out . . . that absolutely cannot happen.  We need to start off fast (which we did) AND finish strong.  We'll need a full game of turnovers, special teams, and bookends of a fast start and clock killing first downs to beat Seattle and GB.

Agree, it is scary how close we came to wasting that J-No interception and not shutting down the game after it!

I also assume the saints midrange success was due to Luke's absence.  No way he let's them do that to us all day.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Basbear · Posted

      People forgot that the think tank thought enough of smith-wade, to cut the vet starter troy hill mid-season. Just happened smith just injuried soon after.  Personally I see no issues/PRESS THE PANIC BUTTON!!!1!1!! to take this group into TC. Of course Id love to have 5 all-pros at CB too, but this is the real world. Cuts and even trades happen once teams are going though the TC process. Just pray for health, like all other groups....

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Basbear · Posted

      I'll toss my 2 pennies(rip) into this. I was not a fan of the Dan hire, I'd say 80against/20meh. The right hand stuff and being a part of what I viewed as the sorriest panther team in history...... The deal is some of the first moves he did saved NOTHING in cap space. He waived Bozeman, Vonn Bell, and Hurst.....That to me doesn't feel like Firererererere was listening to Dan to a high degree. Dan didn't have a 1st rounder which was 1st overall due to the supreme suckage. He didn't have 2nd rounder this past year which was a early pick right where the talent of the 2025 was. Plus the cap was not in the best shape.... The QB deal was in deep water as well. If you factor this extreme mess and analyze the current OL, DL, WR, and RB groups..... I have. Use your normal realistic cues. Even without playing the first game of this season, you must see improvement, right?? He simply could not fix all the problems, but the problems he choose to tackle... He did so like it was the 2003 Superbowl all over again. Factor in depth and age, those groups check the difficult boxes. Most of the players are young, locked in contracts, and there *should* be depth behind the starters. He's not going to bat 1.000, his mistakes have been pointed out numerous times. IMO, he does need some props for what I feel he's done right. Trade wise he's been killing the value side- extra future 2nd, starter level CB that's 28 year old for 240 picked LB that's bounced around the league, and moved up without giving the classic herniay future picks to land two edges whom are only behind QBs on the most valued chart. He also got a early 2nd and 2 5ths for a 8 sack-a-year edge that got nearly 30 mill per.  Sure its got to play out and positive results are needed. Still if you know NFL and been watching since the herniay&gettlegut eras, you got to feel the process is on the up and up. Im not talking in typical off-season hopuim fluff either.... It's not over by any means either(please give him until the 2026 season end), maybe this is a real foundation in the making, us Panthers don't even know what that is...... This could be the first real long lasting winner than us fans have never had in 30 years and we are witnessing it....

      I feel like we have some depth; we just need that proven nickel. Mike Jackson is a decent #2, but ideally we'd have a proven veteran in the slot. Smith-Wade might be able to fill that role, but he's far from a sure thing.
