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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
