A Stat I Found Interesting. Games when Panthers score in all 4 quarters

So.... looking at the gamebook late last night, I was struck by the fact that Panthers scored points in all 4 quarters of the game.  Hadn't seen that too often in the Panthers last 20 or so games... so I decided to do a little research.  It's not rocket science.  Scoring points consistently leads to wins.  But even so, I was surprised by what I found.

 

*Games below is games in which Panthers scored points in all 4 quarters (includes defensive scores)

Season     Games*    W-L

2017           1               1-0

2016           3               3-0

2015           9               9-0

2014            4              3-0-1

2013            8              8-0

2012            5              3-2

2011            6              5-1

Total           36              32-3-1

 

So since week 7 of 2012, Panthers have not lost a game in which they put points on the board in all 4 quarters.  They did have the 1 tie in 2014.  Thats 26-0-1 in games when they scored in all 4 quarters. 

Note how in 2016 we had the worst frequency of scoring in 4 quarters since Cam became our quarterback....

The drop off in wins when scoring in 4 quarters vs. scoring in only 3 quarters of a game is pretty startling:

 So in our last 106 games (including postseason), Panthers have won 90% when scoring in all 4 quarters, but only 54% when scoring in only 3 quarters** of the game.  

We are a rhythm offense.  If Cam can get in a groove in the 1st quarter and keep it going, watch out!!!

 

**[Just for clarification:  When I say the Panthers scored in "only 3 quarters," it could be ANY 3 quarters of the game.  It does NOT mean Panthers failed to score in the 4th quarter.  I had someone misunderstand this on Twitter today.]

What I found particularly interesting was to note how often in 2013 and 2015 the games in which Panthers scored in all 4 quarters of the game coincided with major hot streaks, especially in 2013.

Here's what it looks like:

Look at 2013.  During our 8 game winning streak, we scored in all 4 quarters in 7 of those 8 games.  Wow.

In 2015, after beating Seattle (game 5 - in which we scored in 3 of 4 quarters), we went on to continue a pretty tough stretch of our schedule (Philly, Indy, Green Bay, Tennessee, Washington, Dallas.  In 5 of those 6 games, Panthers scored in all 4 quarters and got the win, sometimes in close nail-biters (Indy, GB), other times in pretty big blowouts (Washington, Dallas...).

Hoping we'll see the start of a similar streak in 2017 now that the offense has seemed to come alive.

If you score  a TD in each quarter with 28 points, that really should be enough for us to win 9x out of 10 with our front 7 . 

Defense needs to work on getting that opponent score per game down , 30+ in 2 games strait isn't very appealing . 

Oh definitely, 28 points per game would win most games, but I was including FGs too, so not all the 4 quarter scoring games are high scoring games.

For instance in 2013, the final 3 games of our 8 game win streak, Panthers scored 24, 20 and 27 points.  Not huge totals...

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
