The chart below is sorted by the difference in average offensive yards per game and average yards allowed per game. Comparing this measure to each team's record alone, there are three clear underachievers through week six: Cowboys, Eagles, and Panthers. There are a few clear overachievers: Bears, Falcons, Bills, Bucs, and the Niners.

The other six columns show a few possible explanations: turnover margin, penalty yardage, and red zone efficiency.

For the underachievers:


  • Panthers: penalties and turnover margin are potential contributors


  • Eagles: turnover margin and red zone efficiency are potential contributors


  • Cowboys: deplorable red zone efficiency (scoring only one out of every three times)

For the overachievers:


  • Chicago: not much really stands out; if i included a measure of special teams i'm sure that would


  • Falcons: very effective in the red zone


  • Bucs: turnover margin is decent but horrible red zone efficiency and penalties - likely to be serious overachievers


  • Bills: tops in turnover margin and red zone efficinecy help them voercome higher average yards allowed than yards posted


  • Niners: boosted by strong turnover margin

Of course these are all generalizations, but felt compelled to share some crap I was playing around with while bored at work this afternoon. Take from it what you will.

we are the 4th most penalized team in the league.

we have the 7th highest yards gained vs. yards allowed difference -seventh best in the league.

we are tied at 25th in turnover margin at negative five.

we are 17th in the league in red zone efficiency.

to sum it up, the chart suggests we are a monster, yard-eating offense that marches down the field but can't score in the red zone, commits stupid penalties and turns ball over at terrible times while our defense can't make a stop and get turnovers.

sounds spot on if you ask me.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
