NE@CAR - some impressive offensive #s

Recommended Posts

Hat's off to the entire coaching staff and players.
Gameplan and execution were spot-on.

 

The Panthers dictated to Brady & Co how this game would be played. (a fully armed and operational Pat offense, btw) Not Patriot's lite, that most teams played.

 

Each team only had 7 offensive possessions,. 6 for the Panthers if you want to remove the end of half drive that each team just wanted to get to the locker room. To place this in context, the Oak@Hou & CLE@CIN game on Sunday had 17 possessions for each offense. Average NFL team gets about 11 possessions per game.

 

The Panthers had horrible field position the entire game.

Drives started @

Car 20, Car 10, Car 13, Car 11, [halftime] Car 19, Car 20, Car 17

Results were: Punt, TD, FG, EOH, TD, Punt, TD

 

Panthers scored on 4 of drives. And got TDs on 3 of them. The League average on scoring drives from starting at your 20 or worse is only 27%. (16% for TDs only)

 

In an odd sense, the Panthers Offense won a shootout that just so happened to only have 6-7 offensive possessions. Score doesn't have to be 31-28.

 

It may not show up in the cumulative STAT columns, but this is an elite offense.  I guarantee that the defensive coordinators crap their pants...realizing that their D can't rely on a long field to help them. And this has been a season long ability...not just 1-2 game anomaly against bad teams. Drive for drive, this offense can hang with any offense in the league.

 

There are quite a few "power-ranked" teams that have offensive issues going the distance (I'm looking at you Indy & KC).

Our offensive drive stats are stellar. Anyone who says this is a mediocre offense has no damn clue what they're talking about.

 

Good info there.

 

1st in TOP per drive, 2nd in plays per drive and 4th in points per drive. That's pretty damn good. This offense meshes with this defense perfectly IMO.

 

 

Also, according to that site, the D is first in turnovers per drive, leading in INTs per drive AND fumbles per drive. They are 2nd in points per drive.

 

Nice

 

 

This is why they are winning games folks, the Offense and Defense are in harmony with each other.

Found it. I can't make a new thread but here they are

 

ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” was a strong player on the night and was expected to dominate in key demos as well as total viewers. The New England-Carolina matchup earned an 11.2 overnight household rating in Nielsen’s metered markets, making it the top-rated “MNF” game of the TV season.

Starting field position has never been as important to us as other teams since Cam came on board. His ability to convert 3rd downs with his legs as well as his arm gives us a huge bonus.

If we had forced him to be strictly a pocket passer (as some suggested Gettleman wanted), we wouldn't be 7-3 right now.

    • Tmac= Slant boy 25 Renfrow= if 2021 maybe the best for dinkin Hubbard= found his hands in 25 Dowdle= great Rb hands Sanders= better catcher than blocker Horn/Tremay/Tremble/whoever get snaps= more than able to run short quick routes or stand in a spot close to LOS. Coker= should be able to add to the group That's plenty my friend along with two RBs with good hands. I know Dave is not Payton and BY isn't Brejesus. This group can pull off a Chinese copy of it tho......
    • The fact that we're STILL questioning if he should be starting is all that needs to be said.   If this week doesn't turn out well, the boiling point could hit soon.  Don't think 0-3 does it, but it could be soon.  Considering our schedule, it may happen if things fall off the rails.   We have 3 winnable games by week 9.  If we're just sitting 2-7 or 1-8 after the Packers game, that would be near the end point of this situation in its entirety.    It took what, a 1-10 start to can Reich in his first year?  I think a 1-8 start to Bryce in his 3rd would be reasonable to politely end his tenure in Carolina.  
    • Pressure or no pressure Bryce Young does not have the arm talent to consistently threaten defenses and open up the whole field. We have seen this throughout his 32 career starts. The Jaguars defense in week 1 only blitzed on 20% of Bryce Young's dropbacks and they still imposed their will and forced 3 turnovers from Bryce Young. I can present you information but if you choose to ignore it and what you are seeing with your own two eyes you are beyond help.
