Since merger, only the '72 Dolphins and '96 Packers have finished #1 in offense and defense. We now have a shot

We're first in point differential now: we're averaging 31.6 points per game on offense, we're giving up 18.7 points on defense. We rank #1 on offense, tied for #4 on defense. Denver is #1 giving up 17.3 points a game on defense.

 

Just another way that we're looking at a historically great season. I think this is yet another thing that's in reach. If only Drew Brees hadn't fuged us up in the Superdome last week, this would be a damn shoo-in after today.

Realistically, we'd have to allow less than 21 points combined against all three of our remaining opponents to have a shot at the #1 defense.  If we shut out the rest of our opponents, we'd be at about 15.75 points allowed per game on defense.  Allowing 21 points total in our next three games puts us at just over 17 points allowed per game on the year.

I don't see this happening, unless the Giants and Bucs poo the bed.

The Broncos play:

  • @ Steelers
  • vs Bengals
  • vs Chargers

So there's a chance they give up a few more points than their average.

But the other two teams ahead of us...

The Cincinatti Bengals play:

  • vs 49ers
  • @ Broncos
  • vs Ravens

Doesn't look like the Bengals give up many more points than their average

The Seahawks play:

  • vs Browns
  • vs Rams
  • @ Cardinals

Only the Cardinals are a real threat to put up some points.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
