Update: Here is the skydrive link to the excel file. Skydrive's webapp should allow everyone to open and view the file. http://sdrv.ms/17ELwgm

 

 

This is from my own data mining from the official NFL Gamebooks.

Last week it was the defenses that were wildly different between ATL and CAR. This week the slight edge goes to the Panther offense.

 

Starting with Defense:

Thru Week 9 both defenses are actually very similar.

Panthers defense is allowing scores on 26% of all drives.

49ers are nearly identical at 27%. 

 

If we break it down we do see a difference that could make the difference this Sunday.

Panthers (13 FGs, 9 TDs, 84 drives) - allowing TDs only 11% of the time.

49ers (8 FGs, 17 TDs, 93 drives) - allowing TDs 18% of the time.

Roughly, the Panthers will give up 1 TD per game, 49ers almost 2.

 

Both teams stumbled the first few games....so by looking at winning streaks only.....

Panthers D (6 FGs, 4 TDs, 42 drives).....23%

49ers D (4 FGs, 7 TDs, 59 drives) ..... 18% (lower is better)

Both teams have allowed garbage time scores once the games were out of hand so both defenses are very good and beat down average NFL offenses. 

 

 

----------------------------------

But the 49er offense is NOT the Panther offense. Will expand on this in moment.....

At a glance, Panthers edge out the 49ers but not by much.

Panthers are scoring on 43% of all drives. (12 FGs, 22 TDs, 80 drives) Ranked 6th.

49ers are scoring on 36%. (9 FGs, 24 TDs, 91 drives) Ranked 15th.

 

Winning streaks only:

Panthers (6 FGs, 14 TDs, 37 drives) 54%

49ers (6 FGs, 19 TDs, 58 drives) 43%

 

Again, if both teams wanted to throttle the other team, these numbers could be even higher as both teams had large leads and started to kill clock.

 

The disparity comes when an offense needs to drive 80 yards to score.

49ers led off in Week 1 at a fantastic 80%. (4 scoring drives out of 5 of 80 yards or longer) against Green Bay. Since then they have fallen quite a bit and not been greater than 33% in any game.

Currently @ 28% (2 FGs, 10 TDs, 43 drives)

On the flip side..

Panthers started week 1, at 17% and have climbed near the top of the NFL since. Currently at 39%, ranked 4th (4 FGs, 9 TDs, 33 drives), tied with Chicago.

 

Given a long field, the SanFran offense has been league average. Short fields and they can score, but I think the lack of passing production does provide a weak link. BTW, Panthers are #1 in the NFL at making the opponent start at their 20 or worse. (73%, 61 of 84 drives). Compare to SanFran (ranked 10th, @58%)

 

--------------

Additional notes: Indy is the same way as SanFran. Shoft field and Indy is a TD machine...80 yards and Luck & Co. are league average.

 

May get around to creating a Skydrive acct just for this excel file so I can upload and people can view all the data in a webapp.

The keys to this game are two-fold for the Panthers to win.  They MUST make Kaepernick commit turnovers, and the make-shift O-Line MUST protect Newton.

 

Their strengths and weaknesses are being pitted against our strengths and weaknesses fairly evenly with respect to season statistics.  The last two weeks have seen the Panthers get away with mistakes that will NOT be forgiven by a 49er team that is hard and disciplined.  Strap the helmets on and get ready for a fight or this can look very bad for either side.

this is huge and could be the deciding factor. home field advantage will help, but only so much.

good work again.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
