A quick look at pre-season points totals

I know it's ONLY preseason, so any kind of standings mean VERY little.  But given that there's not too much else to talk about, I thought I'd take a quick glance at points scored on offense and allowed by defense around the league.

Surprise surprise, Panthers are second in terms of points scored per game (Arizona & Dallas both have played a 4th game, so Panthers are ahead of them..)

Not too shabby for an offense that has been without Cam for all but 1 series, with DA looking pretty terrible, with lots of new moving pieces to fit in, with a new LT, with Ryan Kalil not playing much at all...

No surprise, we're leading the league in rushing:

On the defensive side of things, the points allowed aren't so encouraging.  We've allowed the 5th most points:

A lot of our points allowed, can of course be explained by turnovers.  We're near the bottom of the league with a -3 turnover ratio in our 3 preseason games:

Anything strike others as significant stats / factoids from this preseason so far?

Oh WOW, here's a stat Ron has to be LOVING!

We lead the league in terms of fewest penalty yards, and are near the top in terms of fewest penalties.

Last year we totalled nearly 270 penalty yards in 4 preseason games, so nearly 70 yards per game.  This season we're averaging half that.  Good to see.

I do like the penalty stats because that's something that should carry over. I'm not so sure about the other stuff.

Agree the point totals mean very little, but I do think we're moving the ball better than last season when we only averaged 20 points per game in the pre-season.. (we were tied for 11th in the league in terms of points per game)

In 2015, we were 4th in the league in terms of points per game during the preseason...

So, I don't think the big picture tendencies are totally worthless to look at.

we need to stop the bleeding on defense.

absolutely cannot carry over into the regular season.

i don't care what kyle shannahan has on his roster. that guy makes me nervous. i don't want to get burned starting out of the gate by his cast of no name players.

    • but but but PFF told me he had some "big time throws" whatever the fug that meant
    • It was a wild amount of sub-200 yd passing performances.
    • This was cringe as hell when I first read it and its even worse now.  Hopefully those stupid motherfugers wont fall for this poo again. https://www.panthers.com/news/inside-the-panthers-conviction-toward-bryce-young So what happened? Fitterer beamed while he told a story from dinner with Young when he fielded a question from the Panthers' contingent about his practice habits and weekly process. Fitterer said Young spoke with the kind of detail you can't make up, estimating his Sunday-to-Tuesday exposition took about 10 minutes. Young earnestly grinned when asked about the conversation in a press conference following his selection, saying that his weekly planning process was "a little bit long-winded of an answer; I'll save everyone from having to sit through that." But Reich, Fitterer, and Tepper didn't seem to mind it. In fact, that "long-winded" answer turned out to be a big plus. "At one point, Scott and I and Mr. Tepper kind of made eye contact, like, 'This is crazy,'" Reich said. "He got into how he was studying the film, and some of the things he said about that. I looked at Mr. Tepper; he looked at Scott. It was like, this is next-level stuff. "And listen, we've all been around, and we've all heard good stuff. The other guys said good stuff too. But this was just at a level that was different."
