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!

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
