Red Zone D stat from ESPN blog

This season the Panthers have allowed a touchdown on only 32.1 percent of opponent’s red zone drives (27.8 percent during the streak). Not only is that best in the NFL this season, it’s the best percentage since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002. 

 

 

 

Red Zone D!

Wait, the defense has only allowed opponents to reach the redzone an average of twice per game? Holy crap!

 

 

Another interesting stat to look up is how many of those redzone visits occur in the opening half.

 

I know in the past two games this defense has put the sleeper hold on the opponent.

If we end the season at the 13ppg allowed mark it will be more impressive than the 10 ppg allowed mark the Ravens set in 2000.

That's the truth, no homerism. It will never get the recognition and anyone who mentions it would be laughed at nationally, but it is more impressive. I'm not saying this defense is better, but that mark is more impressive.

The league had changed dramatically since then. The rules have drastically changed the game. I still can't believe we're only allowing 13ppg. Ron Rivera is a defensive mastermind. And to think, 90% of this fan base wanted him gone for 18+ months up until a few weeks ago.

    • yeah, I think XL gets comical fan hate at this point.   did he have some drops? Sure.  He was basically in the same ballpark as Worthy, Coleman, Mitchell, etc. of the same draft class.  Rookies.  Happens.  His career began on a team that had horrific QB play.  Improved to meh QB play.   And finished with a couple random "good" games graded on a Bryce curve.  And it was literally just a couple.  Games where Not sure what people expect to happen in that situation and Bryce isn't the naturally pairing in terms of play style for a WR like XL (which we all acknowledged when we drafted him).  I think XL leads the team in yards this year actually.  I think father time officially catches AT this year.  I think Tmac will have some legit growing pains (which is also fine).  
    • Even if it's fluffed up, this team needs some confidence and optimism. I mean, look what happened to Bryce once he got his confidence back, he balled out. Sometimes if you just feel great about yourself, you'll play great. 
    • Ayton would have been a nice get but I didn’t think it was really possible he would come here.  He is from Cali and seems to prefer that part of he country
