I'll start with Defense

The Good

Defensive plays from scrimmage:212 (lowest in NFL)

1st downs allowed:we are 2nd lowest in NFL

Opponents first downs per game:14.8(2nd best in NFL)

Opponents third conversions per game:4(tied for 3rd in NFL)

Opponents third down conversion perecentage:33.3( tied for 6th in NFL)

Opponents Red Zone Scores per game: 1( tied for 2nd best in NFL0

Opponents passing completions per game 14.8(1st in NFL0

Opponents passing td percentage:

The Bad

Rushes over 20 yards:7 (2nd worst in NFL)

Rushes over 40 yarsD:3 (Worst in NFL)

Points per play:0.481 (Worst in NFL)

Opponents yards per pass completions:14(Worst in NFL)

What to make of it?

I'll say it again, we are playing good if not great on a majority of the snaps, getting off the field, etc. Where we are screwing up is allowing big runs and missed tackles

Noteworthy:Teams are not rushing to the left(Charles Johnsons side) and when they do they are mostly unsuccessful. However most of the success and all of the runs for over 40 yards are to the Right( Hardy's side). The middle rushes are met with average success against us, although MJD gashed us a few good times up the middle in the Monsoon. So can we please stop crying about the DT'S now?

Special Teams:

All bad here no good

Net yards per punt attempt:26.6 (worst in NFL)

2 Punt returns for TD'S against us

1 missed field goal and 1 blocked field goal

No blocking worth a crap on Punt Returns

What to make of it?

Blocked field goal attempt, I credit Peppers more than I blame anyone else

The Peterson Punt return was more inexecsubale in my eyes as we didnt even make an effort to bring him down.

Offense:

Well we all know the good so I'll omit that.Plus this thread is about what's wrong anyway.

The Bad

Naane

5 penalties that took away TD's (unofficial, couldnt find a stat on this so I'm trusting what many of you have said here0

Bottom line:

Charles Jonshon is worth every penny. Naane stole every penny we gave him. Everything is else is correctable.

And one more thing. Please get Curry we need some run support on that side, cuz Jason Williams is not cutting it.

Great post. One exception I would make is the Hardy comment. Watching in person and through the rain at the Jax game, Hardy made most of the stops on the inside running plays. He was the MVP of that game, yet MJD had a ton of yards. Perhaps Hardy is being force to cut off the inside rushes is the cause of the big runs around the corner? Also having to play second string LBs isn't helping.

I did not call Hardy out Specifically. Not everyone on this board knows that when I say to the right whos side it is. Hell, if we go back and look at tape those big runs may have occured when he came out. My main beef is with people taking the lazy approach and blaming our DT'S for everything.

I'm not saying they are doing great, cuz they are not but our coaches have schemed around it very well. Others need to step up, shed blocks and make tackles to help the rooks out IMO.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
