And a negative scoring differential. We have scored 207 points for, and 249 given up.

Tells me a lot about this team, some of it good more of it bad.

My questions are why do we think that is? 
 

And what can we do differently to start winning more games by a wider margin. It does feel like we are much more competitive this season and for that I am grateful. We are going in the right direction. But what pieces could we add to help us be more well rounded. What can we do to score more points on a regular basis? All speculative obviously, and more future thinking than now because we can’t change what’s already happening.

But these numbers worry me a bit for our playoff hopes, because the NFC North, and the West have some pretty good teams and I could see both of those divisions sending two teams to the playoffs.

Just thought that was an interesting number when it caught my eye. What say you, you ole miserable panther fans?

I know it can’t be done, but taking out the NE and BUF games turn that differential around. Those two games alone count for a -60 point differential for the Panthers.
 

The only other loss that was a bit out of hand was the Jacksonville game, which had a -16 differential, and the first ATL win was a +30. All in all, a few lopsided games but most have been close.
 

All it says is the Panthers aren’t dominating teams when they win, and they have a complete dud of a loss every few games.

I’ve said it before. Panthers are neither a good nor a bad team… which is a GIANT leap forward from 2 seasons ago. 

They’ve gone from an embarrassing, unwatchable curb stomping on an every week basis to glimpses of competitive football and a team with actual, legit talent. Ickey, Hunt, Chuba, Rico, Tet, Coker, Moton, Lewis, Brown, Moehrig, and Horn would be legit starters on most NFL teams, so half of our starting roster. I’d dare call the special teams good this season.  In 2 years that’s incredible. With 2 more offseasons and drafts like this last one, even a journeyman QB takes this team to the playoffs. Let them kill it on the first 2 picks in the next couple drafts and find a late round gem. That’s huge. 

I don’t think the current team is as good as its record, but I’m enjoying the ride.

Parity in the league is out of whack. I think there are a lot more bad teams than there used to be. 
They play each other and the games are close. They play upper echelon and the difference shows up on the scoreboard in the form of blowouts on occasion. 
As to the OP we have to try and play those better teams close and sometimes we can. It means making a it low scoring game.

Basically if you want more points the QB has to play better. Some weeks he doesn’t play very well.

It also means we are winning close, 1-score games.

On 1 hand that can be a sign of growth and a team learning to find a way to win.

Negatively, it is a team getting fortunate bounces, and is typically not sustainable. See this year's Chiefs compared to last season.

The sign of growth is the Panthers

The fortunate bounces is the Bears (+ 16 turnover differential which is unheard of )

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
