Dispelling the new myth about our offense and defense

The new narrative amongst some on here is that:

"you are being misled. Our defense is fine but we have an inefficient offense that puts too much undue pressure on our defense. That is why our defense is ranked 18th in YPG but is giving giving up 26 points per game. It is because we have a very inefficient offense that is 5th in YPG but only averages 23.5 PPG!! Only smart people can see this!!11!1"

Well according to www.advancednflstatistics.com this new narrative simply doesn't hold water.

According to advanced statistics we are actually ranked 4th in overall offensive efficiency and we are ranked 29th in defensive efficiency.

Now this website uses a formula a little more complex than the YPG + PPG = efficiency formula that some are trying to push as an example of efficiency.

This website will breakdown offenses and defenses to every single snap. They take into consideration turnovers, field position (in other words scoring on a long field is weighted more heavily than scoring with a short field and vice versa for the defensive analysis), penalties, point per possession, third down conversion percentage (also weighted by third down distance), and just a ton of different variables that should go into properly evaluating and offense or defense.

Our offense hasn't been perfect. But it isn't the main problem either.

The good news is our defense is improving. We are up to 29th. We were 32nd three weeks ago.

Spin away if you must PFFL/Pantherball/ProBowler/TheOneThatStungDelhommey/Stew23/whatever new alt you come up with after your inevitable ban once again :lol:

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
