Favorite Defensive Stats

Figured I'd start to collect our favorite defensive stats from this year. Mine is about recovering from turnovers.

 

We've had 13 turnovers this year, and we've given up 13 points off of turnovers. That's the 2nd best in the league behind KC, which has given up 10 points off of 8 turnovers. 

 

It shows just how resilient this defense has been even when put in tough situations.

 

Oh and in the past two games we have given up 0 points in the 2nd half.

my favorite stat, is carolina is shutting teams down on 3rd down.  allowing only 33% to be converted.  39/115.  And have only allowed 1 4th down conversion.

 

And we're converting 3rd downs on offense!  Third downs used to KILL us.

Not really a stat. But I cannot think of ONE player on the defensive side that does not make a play for this team.  DTs aside and when TD and Kuechly make a play you can thank the DTs.  

 

I caught a lot of flack before the season because I thought this defense was going to be awesome and incredible.  Fought over Kuechly being better than Willis RIGHT NOW!!  And he is,  I caught flack about or defensive backfield was going to be good with the additions to this team.

 

IMO we have probably 4 Pro Bowlers on the Defensive Side.   One from each level with an extra LB.

If you do avg points per turnover we actually are better than the Chiefs.

Car: 1 pt per turnover

KC: 1.25 pts per turnover

I was gonna say Mitchell seems like a long shot, and he still might be, but I looked at his stats this year and only Earl Thomas is ahead of him in picks at FS (3 to 4) and they have the same number of FF (2)

 

It'll be interesing to see if enough people recognize to vote for him

Plus he has a couple of sack not to mention he hits like a Mac Truck.

Favorite D stat for me:

We are always Terrible late in the game and in close games!  Costly fumbles but D doesn't help either (see ATL last year Buffalo this year)

 

 

4th Quarter + 1 point Game

 

FOUR yards Total Offense in the 4th Quarter!!!!

 

 

The #Panthers held #Niners to FOUR total yards in the 4th quarter. That's the best defense in the sport.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
