Does playing a West Coast team at 1 give us an edge?

A lot of people said we would have an edge over the Seahawks when they came here week 1. Whelp...

Maybe we did. An edge doesn't = a win.

 

When I go to the gym I get a better workout in the PM than I do in the AM, no matter how many times I go in the AM. I'd say if there's a benefit it'll be at the beginning of the game.

I honestly think what hurts them the most is the physicality of a cold game. The Packers played a physical brand of football on Sunday instead if finessing. Getting his continuously and as cold as it was, I think some of them are still sore from that. I imagine the travel and the cold factor will benifit us.

All this means is that we need to jump on them early. Force them to run, and force them to fight the physicality of Tolbert and Stew much like they did with Lacy.

It does make a difference and the stats back this up. Someone can look them up, but the win loss percentage is not favorable fir west coast teams traveling east for a 1 game.

 

I think win/loss is around 25% historically. vs the spread is something like 35%

 

but Harbaugh has been really good in 1EST games

The last time the Panthers had a playoff game they were supposed to have an east coast and cold weather advantage.  Oops.  Someone forgot to tell Jake Delhomme and Larry Fitzgerald.

 

this is not helping....lol

      I mean, yes, there is a difference between looking at a box score and watching film.  But PFF has a big subjective aspect to some of their grades.  That's how you get a 2/4 being better than 3/5 with a TD.  You aren't using stats at that point or factual events, but subjective analysis of plays.   And it's not like it is the same subjective analysis applying across all the players.   Same guy grading BY's incompletions (which are putting him over the top) isn't grading everyone else's incompletions and completions.  So it's different subjective takes/viewpoints applied.  There is no way everyone at PFF views grading out a play the same.  Then it all dumps into the same spreadsheet.  Hit the sort button.  Sometimes I feel it gets really weird and and collective data starts saying some weird stuff that just isn't true.

      Yeah, Sanders had a very nice debut preseason performance but the folks acting like he's arrived based on that performance are getting way out ahead of themselves.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I won't be surprised if Graham disappoints. Maybe not outright bust but never lives up to his draft status. The more I watched him at Michigan the more I came away impressed by the other Michigan DT. I think he might be the real player. Usually when you have two high level prospects in the same college unit one of them ends up getting fraud checked in the NFL as being largely carried by the other guy. Peppers and Ryan Sims at UNC comes to mind. Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown at Penn State, etc.
