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

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
