Some Of Our Current Defensive Stats Might Shock You.

Carolina Panthers Defense through 6 weeks : 

  • #1 in sacks (27) (NE 2nd with 25)
  • #2 in interceptions (9) (NE 1st with 14) 
  • #2 in total takeaways  (15) (Tied with Steelers) (NE #1 with 16) 
  • #4 in turnover differential (+6) (3 way tie with Packers + Steelers) (NE #1 with +9) 
  • #11 in avg yards allowed per game (344) (NE 1st with 235) 
  • #9 in avg passing yards allowed per game (225) (49ers #1 with 150 damn!) 
  • #21 in avg rushing yards allowed per game (119) (Bucs #1 with 68) 
  • #14 in avg points allowed per game (22.2) (NE#1 with 8.0 holy poo.) 

What I gleaned from this , we're doing great putting pressure on opposing QBs and  taking the ball away, arguable the two most important defensive stats. Still top 10 passing D, above average almost everywhere except for rushing yards. 

I'm also realizing that the Pats defense is nasty this season. Also Niners have an elite passing (#1 in passing yards against)  and run stopping defense (#6 in avg rushing yards against) , which could be problematic.

I love switching a stout run d for a stout pass d. Those sacks are key and I fugging love them. The interceptions are the most surprising to me. Having a strong D isn't a surprise to me, it was literally the one thing we should always have under Rivera.

The only problem the defense has right now is aggregate stats that add up over time, because of the lack of consistent offensive production.

Here’s the offensive production on the day:

4 plays — (-2) yards — FG
3 plays — 0 yards — Punt
12 plays — 84 yards — Touchdown
3 plays — 0 yards — Punt
4 plays — 36 yards — Touchdown
3 plays — 3 yards — Punt
4 yards — 20 yards Punt
5 yards — 39 yards FG
1 play — 8 yards — Touchdown
10 play — 75 yards — Touchdown
3 plays — (-4) yards — Punt
3 plays — 4 yards — Punt
3 plays — (-4) yards — FG
3 plays — 9 yards — Punt
4 plays — 1 yard — Missed FG

Out of 15 drives, 13 resulted in 5 or fewer plays run. Of those 13 drives, 7 of them were 3-and-outs w/ only one of them resulting in a FG. That is NOT inspiring football on the offensive side of the ball. With our defense giving them 7 turnovers and 7 sacks, there’s simply no excuse for our offense dragging along late in the game. It’s even more ridiculous that despite the sacks and turnovers, the Bucs had a legit chance to come back near the end.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
