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.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
