A Closer Look at Wk1 & Wk2 Drive Charts - clearly reveals Panthers Defensive DOMINANCE

I don't think you need to look all that closely lol

Very true!  It's obvious without the charts & numbers.  But those drive charts where opposing teams pretty much hit a wall at the 50 yard line (or earlier) on 80% of their drives sure ARE fun to look at!

I like this but at the same time I dont. We arent beating teams  to where they have to give up the run game and strictly pass. Lets see what the pass happy saints do. Because I think this game will test our secondary. New Orleans probably wont even think run at all in this game. We have shut the run down and it would be nothing but a wasted down for them. If we shut down Thomas, they wont score more than 6 or 7 on us. Expect our offense to find some rhythm.

Whole 2nd half vs. 49ers!!!!  In spite of having some success in the run early on, they abandoned it almost totally!

Here are the run / pass stats for both halves of the week 1 game:

                                  1st Half          2nd Half

Run Attempts           11                    4

Run Yards                 54                    -3

 

Pass Attempts           15                20

Pass Completions    11                 13

Pass Yards                88                 105

I hear you but its the 49ers. They have no receivers except Gacon and Hoyer as a qb. I get what your saying though.

@KB_fan great charts. Really enjoyed the drive charts. 

In your research, could you see what the Panthers' tendencies were regarding our offense? Without rewatching the games I felt like the following: 

1. San Fran - Lots of short passes with CMC being 1st read. 

2. Buffalo - More intermediate and long attempts with WRs being 1st read. I also felt like we ran the ball more often than not on 1st down with little success. 

I know that we are one of the worst teams on 1st down. Do you know if that is because we are bottled up running or just not passing well?

Great questions.  I'll see what I can do in regard to a closer look at our offense.

May have some answers Sat or Sunday.   I've got a big work meeting I'm leading tomorrow and still have some stuff to prepare that will keep me busy tonight & tomorrow a.m.

And here's a bit more info about all the offensive drives.  Sorry, it's just a data dump, I haven't really had a chance to analyze / draw conclusions, but I always find it helpful to look at this type of data side by side, week by week...  If anything's unclear, give me a shout.  All this is derived from gamebook data, but I sometimes have used gamebook data to calculate a few custom stats...  (e.g. field position scoring efficiency.)

Don't go out of your way for me! I just have noticed some things and wanted to see if you had since you are already doing tons of stats! :) But thank you! As always your posts are great!

    • 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
