3rd and long efficiency

News flash.. We sucked on both sides of the ball

I heard Evero was good though?

Yeah, on D, no pass rush makes that almost inevitable.  It doesn't matter how good the back side of the D is. Almost any QB in the league can find a rcvr if he's not pressured.  Hopefully, that will be Priority One this offseason and we'll also see progress from last year's draft picks.

On O, it does seem that we almost don't have a plan when we get behind schedule.  I know sacks and penalties derail many drives for all teams, but it seems like getting behind the sticks is almost a guarantee that on 3rd down we'll need 11 yards and do a check down pass to get 3 of them.  So, what's the solution?

Yeah 3rd down in general for this team on both sides of the ball is an absolute house of horrors.

And if our offense is on the field and it's anything more than a 3rd and 5 forget it.

This would be way more meaningful if it included only the games in which the panthers played.  It's a cool graph but it includes too much data to make anything other than general conclusions about a single team.

Example :  Our defense failure rate (38%) is higher than the best offenses (SF) win rate (37%).

That will lose you a ton of games.
