I am not sure were the Panthers defense is ranked but i do know it has improved to the point it is very good and is young enough to get even better.

Would like to get a corner, mlb and another edge in this draft.  Those all should be available in the 2nd

So this Vikings-Colts got me thinking about the definition of "garbage time" as used by the tweeter, which is win probability of 20-80%. I figured most of this game would have been considered garbage time and I was right (from 1:16 left in the 1st to 2:31 left in the 4th) even though clearly a lot of that was far from what we would think as garbage. 

So then I went back and checked the Panthers-Bengals game. Once you look at the win probability chart, it makes sense the Panthers fare as well as they do. Cause by their definition, "garbage time" started at 12:26 in the FIRST QUARTER. Literally all but the first 2 and a half minutes wouldn't have been used in the calculation for the graph in the tweet, as amazing as that sounds. Part of it is that the Bengals were so heavily favored given how bad the Panthers were considered at the time that they nearly had an 80% win probability from kickoff.

With selective stats every team can be the best!

Panthers are the best team in the NFL as long as their winning the game. That lines right up there with this stat.

Good point and only needs a simple fix:

 

Garbage time only occurs in 4th quarter and still apply the 80%/20% rule.

Cant be a defensive HC and have your defense get handled like it is.

Not true today - at least in first half.  Getting bullied / punched in mouth.  O=Line and D-Line constantly going backwards. Chinn running away from tackles.  

[Snake]

Definitely not this team. 

[WUnderhill]

This is a fugging Matt Rhule stat if I’ve ever heard one.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

All this investment into this D and its still getting worked by Matt Canada and the titty kisser

[Davidson Deac II]

We have a great defense when we are playing NFC south teams on our home field.
