Now if offenses played offenses then NO would win. And if yards mattered then NO would be at the top. But points for versus points against are the only stats that matter.

Points differential-

New Orleans- -13

Panthers- +13

26 point spread.

If you average NO’s PF with CAR’s PA and vice versa, you get a final of 24.25-11.25, or in real football scores: 24-11. 

My take from this is that we will be ahead most of the game and NO will score a late TD and get the 2pt conversion, only to fail to get the ball back. Book it. Lol

btw @Jeremy Igo, Facebook is doing wonky things to this thread. The graph isn’t formatting right and it’s eye-bleed worthy. Just FYI. Looks fine on mobile.

Yeah. Looking at it either way heavily favors the Panthers. On the other hand each game is about individual matchups so all these stats won't matter once the game starts. I like our chances though and will be there to cheer on the Panthers to another victory.

Same. Lol. I’m curious where you stand on the play calling / offensive woes issue. Historically you’ve defended Shula. Still defending him?

There seems to be plenty of blame to go around. Cam not having enough reps, offensive line not gelling, offense still trying to establish an identity, injuries to key players, and questionable playcalling, poor player execution, etc. It is unfair to point to one thing or the other as the cause when there are plenty of things contributing. Offense is more about chemistry and timing which is easy to disrupt. I am taking a let's see what happens attitude. As long as we keep winning I don't care how we do it. So far the defense has carried the other two phases. I suspect this week may be more of the same but we are going to have to get more offensive production.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
