Carolina's record in 4 o'clock EST games

Since this weekend's matchup with the New York Jets starts at 4:05 Eastern Standard Time (EST), I took some time to compile a little known statistic about the Panthers.  Since 2002, the Panthers are 15-13 in games with kickoff times starting at or around 4pm EST.  This is regardless of where the game was played in the country.  For example, if they played in San Diego and kickoff time was at 1pm Pacific Standard Time, it was considered a 4pm EST start time.  How that 15-13 stat breaks down:

 

  • 2-4 in 4pm games under Ron Rivera since 2011 (0-1 at home - vs Seattle in 2012)
  • 11-9 in 4pm games played AWAY since 2002
  • 4-4 in 4pm games played at HOME since 2002

The last time the Panthers played the Jets at home, it was a 4pm EST start time during Week 10 of the 2005 season.  The Panthers won 30-3.  

 

What does this mean to the game this weekend?  As the numbers show, not much.  Charlotte is located in EST so the Panthers rarely play home games with 4pm start times (the trend is less than once a season).  I thought it was interesting they have a losing record under Ron Rivera in such games.  Hopefully that trend changes this weekend.  Your interesting little stat for the day.

 

GO PANTHERS!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
