Statistical Perspective Green Bay Packers

[philit99]

Good Morning All,

In the NFL we tend to think about traditional powerhouse football teams as teams you worry about regardless of record. We should worry about the Colts because of Andrew Luck and their awesome offense, right? Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are the best quarterbacks in the NFL right? Our Defense needs to show up on Sunday or Rodgers will destroy us, right? I wanted to post these statistics to show that Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have similar stats to us, and surprising we have better stats in important categories. Observe.

Carolina Panthers	Stats	Green Bay Packers
8th at 27.3 ppg	Offensive Scoring	13th at 24.9 ppg
10th at 19.4 ppg	Defense Scoring	6th at 18.6 ppg
205.1	Passing Yards a game	210.1
11	Passing TD’s	15
1st at 144	Rushing Yards a game	12th at 122
8	Rushing TD’s	4
Cam Newton		Aaron Rogers
1523	Passing Yards	1568
11	Passing TDs	15
8	Interceptions	2
22	20+ yards plays	23
4	40+ yard plays	3
30.9	Attempts per game	29.1

It is amazing that Cam Newton has statistics similar to the great Aaron Rodgers. Carolina as a whole ranks higher in rushing yards a game. I think this game is a bad matchup for Green Bay. If Josh Norman covers his assignments, it will make the Packers rely on tight ends and slot receivers. If Thomas Davis and Luke can play their assignment in the dreaded 11 personnel sets, it will force Rodgers and Company to play the Flats or Wheel routes.

           So based on these Stats we average more points per game, and rush for more yards than the Packers. If our Defense plays like it has previously, this is a favorable matchup for Carolina. We can’t focus on the success of yesterday, this is the NFL right now. They play in our house, and we want payback from last year. Get pressure on Rodgers and keep him the pocket and we win. Period.

Can't turn the ball over and give them short fields....Cam MUST limit the interceptions.

So you're saying the receivers need to catch the ball and not tip it up into the air?

Got it.

wasn't shaq drafted for games like this?

disguising coverages. idk if thats still a thing right now or if he is 100% healthy or if the packers changed their offense because of nelson going down. just a thought.

10th at 19.4 ppg   Defense Scoring   6th at 18.6 ppg

If that is 'points scored by the Defense', then the respective rankings don't make sense.

It's points allow by defense. (Opponent Scoring)

GB's at 18.6 points per game is better than CAR at 19.4.. Therefore the rank is correct.

Your offensive rank was a little off, so I took these screenshots just now:

Wow that Green Bay defensive yards giving up per game is high, they are ranked 23rd. Just need to score TD's and the rest will fall into place. My stats are from NFL and are probably sorted by a different category than the one you have.

Looks like they tighten up in the red zone.  Giving up all those yards, but limiting points, which is the stat that really matters.

I want to make sweet love to those stats and reproduce a good feeling about winning this game.

but I cant

I can. The field will not be in as bad of shape as it was Monday night. I think the pass rush returns, and we win by at least a touchdown.

We match up well against Green Bay IMO.

Green Bay has been beating finesse teams and offenses.

 

They have not played a tough physical team like us yet. We will punch them in the mouth and hurt them. I am not so sure they will have an answer for our physicality.

I absolutely agree. I think we are so physical we end up hurting ourselves with injuries.
