Both teams look very close except when it comes to points allowed per game. Huge difference there and likely the difference in the game on Sunday. 

The Panthers MUST figure out how to pressure a rookie QB and not make him look like a pro bowler. (as we have done in years past)

[Hoenheim]

We are truly atrocious in points per game allowed that's the most telling stat.

Turnovers.  Chargers are +1 we are -2.  After 2 games that may be the biggest difference in these 2 teams.  We win that and put pressure on a rookie QB we win this game.

Another intresting state is Chargers and there great defense are giving up more ypc than us.  Almost 5 ypc.

One day we will get a sack and it will be glorious.

[Moo Daeng]

4 of 12 categories isnt close much less very very close. 

[Jorgie]

better exercise is to compare our offensive stats to their defensive stats and vice versa, also have to take into account the teams played

Bingo and it’s one of the very few stats that matter and tell you all you need to know
