Panthers record when scoring first since 2011. SPOILER: The Panthers are really bad playing from behind

Recommended Posts

Since Cam Newton was drafted in 2011, the Panthers are a very good 39-14-1 when they score first including playoff games. That includes field goals and safeties.

In this same time period, the Panthers are 13-26 when the opposing team scores first, including playoff games.

If the Panthers score first, there's a ~74% chance the Panthers will win. If the opposing team scores first, there's a ~33% chance the Panthers win.

Pretty much in line with statistics across the NFL, according to this guy anyway. Data are from 2008 but I imagine haven't changed much since his sample size was games in 2000-2007. @hepcat, you should change your title to "NFL teams really bad when playing from behind".

The graph below is my own first cut at WP for the NFL. It is based on all regular season games from the 2000 through 2007 seasons. For the most common score differentials, it plots the WP of the team with possession of the ball. For example, the top curve, labeled +7, is the WP for a team that is winning by 7 points, and has the ball, at each minute remaining in a game. The -7 curve, at the bottom, is the WP for a team trailing by 7 points and has the ball.

It does not factor in field position or down and distance situations. So, this should be considered a baseline and not a finished product. But already we can see some interesting things.

Thanks to all of you who are posting interesting stats... so wish I could be participating more, but my work life is still utterly crazy.  There's some light at the end of the tunnel though.  Hoping that after another 7 - 10 more days I'll have a lot more flexibility in my schedule and more free time I can devote to Panthers stat crunching!

And that is exactly why it is crucial the offense gets the lead going into the half and the defense does not give up a lead in the 2nd half.

Since 2011, the Panthers have led after the 1st half in 51 of 87 games.

  • 22-3 in games leading by more than a TD at the half. (18-0 from 2012 to 2015)
  • 35-10 in games leading by more than a FG at the half.
  • 38-13 in games with any lead at the half.
  • 9-22-1 in games trailing at the half.

The Patriots, Seahawks, and Broncos are the only teams over that period that have a .400+ record when trailing at the half. The Patriots are the only team with a winning record when trailing at the half (11-9).

That is why the loses with the Panthers defense giving up leads in the 2nd half to the Broncos and Vikings were so painful - especially the 10 point lead going into the 4th quarter of the Broncos game.

Is no one going to comment how the percentages add up to 107% and not 100? #math

I think the wording is misleading. 

What the OP meant by those percentages is that we won 74% of the games when scoring first (39 wins out of 54 total games = 74%)

Also, we only won 33% of the games when not scoring first (13 wins out of 39 games = 33%)

So pretty much what is basically said here, there were a total of 93 games played. In 54 of them, we got the lead first and won 39 of them). In the other 39 games remaining, we didn't score first, and only won 13 of them.

    • Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.   
    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
