An Early Look at the Stats : Panthers vs 49ers

The 49ers are obviously very good right now, but not unbeatable. If the OL is doing their job and we aren't putting the ball on the ground, we have the pieces to defeat them. Our defense is going to have to continue to force turnovers whenever possible.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned much is special teams. We've seen some definite bright spots there at times this season but we need to clean things up after London. We really need a competent return man stepping in, I'm pretty tired of that being a continual thorn in our side.

one more stat:  Ron Rivera has a losing record after a bye week. (3-5)

Ron has won the last 4 coming off a bye week. 

Stats is wrong and puts too much weight on his first years as a HC

Took a quick peek.

1-3 vs Falcons when Kyle was the OC.

In 16' we were outscored 81-49.

Just two noteworthy points...

Well one of those was a 300 yard Julio Jones game.

and the second was without Luke.

Aha!

I think Luke will make this game, and I doubt Julio suits up.

Speaks to my previous point that it's the players, not the coach, who decide the outcome.

extremely well coached team with a great defensive line, plus we're going across the country to play them. 

Rivera led teams have historically been not great after a bye

I feel this game comes down to whoever wins the turnover battle and boy am I scared that we will because that d line feasts on Allen and his fumble issues

This is just not true anymore, he has won the last 4

yep, Quinn ran a all time great defense in Seattle.  All time great unit.  They basically ran one coverage all game every game.  Quinn got a HC gig because of talent.

His isn't a good defensive mind IMO.  Ron for example is way better.  Ron has as a DC had top 3-4 squads.  Top 4-3 squads.  And actually schemed up good games.

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      It's been many a year since we were in December talking about how games mattered for something other than draft order. This crazy, mixed up, unpredictable, maddening, uplifting and teeth gnashing season has certainly not been boring.

      Icky Contract Extension

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If you look at Brown and Horn's contracts, expect to pay above what he is likely actually worth. This is the Panthers suckage tax. Ultimately, much like Derrick Brown, he has steadily improved over time and that's what you want out of your young first round draft picks. He was one of the biggest and most important question marks coming into the season and he has answered it conclusively. He is "the guy" at LT. Great news, one less position of extreme importance to have to attempt to remedy.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      This is maddening because, well, it's so up and down. When the kid's on, he can be great. When he's mediocre, we can still win based on a strong running game and good defense. When he's bad, and over his history he's this more than not, then it's a sad show that no one could win with. How can anyone know what is going to happen right now? Really. It's like picking one flake in a snow globe and shaking it once a week... there is no telling where it will end up. Things I did see on Sunday from Bryce: his teammates love him; he can make the big throws with good protection and good effort from his receivers. He isn't afraid to run. He can rise up against the best in competition (but he can also sink to the level of bad competition).  All I can say is if Canales goes with an aggressive game plan for Bryce that leans on a hot-hand running game, the team can beat anyone. If there's any wishy-washy play calling, then Bryce melts and couldn't beat anyone.  Maybe the person Bryce needs to win over more than anyone is Canales.
