The Panthers are averaging 8.1 penalties for 70 yards per game.

I'm stealing from another thread to let you know what I think about this.

How is this compared to the rest of the league?

Worse than most. Better than few. I looked at all the games for us. I don't have the time to do it for 31 more teams, and I don't know where to find rankings. Regardless we're giving up enough yards in penalties to equate to points.

It isn't just penalties but when they occur. How many drives were stalled on offensive penalties? On defense we have 2 PI calls in the endzone which gave Atlanta 14 points. It isn't just how many or the number of yards but how often these are momentum killers and results in 1st and 20 versus 2nd and 3.

Other teams make penalties, sure. But we seem to have a knack for doing ours at the worst possible time. We went down by two touchdowns and practically gift wrapped two touchdowns by our pass interference in the red zone...the other team only has to defeat us; we have to defeat them and stop beating ourselves.

timing is everything. we just played dumb yesterday. if it wasn't for those two penalties and that tipped INT in the endzone we could have won that game.

well...there was a lot more that cost us the game, but still those things hurt really badly.

we didn't make them work at all for two TDs, though. we helped them out a lot. we put them right in the perfect position for TDs.

KK the refs have had it in for our team since expansion. We might as well play with a flag up our ass.

I've heard that argument a lot and even thought it myself, but arguing with numbers is illogical. Take a look at the list, and see that we are penalized nearly the same amount as teams that the league supposedly loves.

21 New England

24 Dallas

26 Carolina

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
