By the numbers: 32 things we’ve learned about the 32 offenses

Through six weeks of the 2019 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs have the top-ranked offense, according to Football Outsiders’ efficiency metrics, and the Miami Dolphins are last. Neither of those rankings is surprising, but some of the teams in between them are.

In this week’s column, we take a numbers-based look at one thing we’ve learned from each offense going into Week 7. Teams are listed according to their efficiency rankings. Numbers are courtesy of Sportradar unless otherwise noted.

22. Carolina Panthers

What we’ve learned: Their offense has been helped by their defense and special teams. The Panthers’ average starting field position on offensive drives has been their 33.42 yard line. That’s the best average starting field position for any offense.

A lot of stats get lost in football of what actually matters.

Turnovers matter a ton. Defense causing and offense none.

average field position matters a ton.

scoring touchdowns on short fields matters a ton. Stopping touchdowns matters a ton. Make them bend and break, bend and cause turnovers and not break— matters a ton

fluff stats like passer rating, passing yards, etc are all fluff if you don’t score touchdowns.

defensive stats like 1st in total yards don’t matter if you have a worst than 15th scoring defense. Worst yet again is no or really low turnovers.

You forgot an important one the Panthers are absolutely killing: penalty yards. Possessions, games literally hang on penalties. We are playing soooo incredibly clean this year and our opponents are literally killing themselves with penalties in attempting to slow down our offense and defense.

You mean like last night when people said the bears had one of the best Ds in the league but could stop the saints anywhere on the field. That's what the Panthers do to teams as well.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
