Something that reassures Falcons fans, that bodes well for Panthers fans

Not sure if this has ever been pointed out, but Falcons fans love noting that since 2008, every team that dealt the Falcons their final loss of the season went on to appear in the Superbowl.  3 out of 5 went on to win the Superbowl.

 

2008: Arizona Cardinals - Wildcard Round

2009: New Orleans Saints - Week 14

2010: Green Bay Packers - Divisional Round

2011: New York Giants - Wildcard Round

2012: San Francisco 49ers - NFC Championship game

2013: Carolina Panthers - Week 17

 

DOES THIS MEAN THE PANTHERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL????  If the trend holds true...yes it does!

Not a stats guy at all. In the words of some professor, "if you torture data enough, it will confess"

 

Three statisticians are out hunting. Bird flies up out of the bush, and the first statistician aims and fires. Unfortunately for them, he missed, the bullet going about a foot below the bird. The second one fires, but the bullet goes about a foot above the bird.

The third statistician puts down his gun and says, "All right! We got him!..."

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
