#1 Offense in the NFL

[The Lone Panther]

SIAP:

Who would have thought at the beginning of the year, at week 14, we'll be sitting at 13-0 and with the #1 offense in the NFL?  

[DaveThePanther2008]

Probably the most balance offense too.

Its getting to the point that Cam is damn near unstoppable in the redzone. Can't even begin to imagine what happens when Kelvin is back.

We will have a downright filthy offense. And if Gman can keep our defensive backfield intact this offseason, we may be looking to repeat as SB champs. ;)

You are so right. Getting Kelvin back next year....wow. And, Gettleman continuing to do his magic with free agents and the draft. Look out NFL, the Panthers are here to stay.

That Yards Per Game stat right beside it is also important. We're 26th overall in yardage this year. To be the highest scoring team in the league, yet doing it among the least yardage producers says two things: we're very efficient on offense, and, more importantly, our defense and special teams are putting us in great position in each and every game.

It's really something special to have a team playing this complete of a game. Wow, we're lucky to be seeing this and it be our team.

I think the magic is already with this team. Why would anybody want to leave this chemistry. This much fun. I think Jared allen may just come back because he hasn't seen nothing like this before. Signing players may be easier just due to how connected this team is. You always make a exception for family.

Just curious, where is our scoring defense ranked?  I would imagine after a shutout we just moved up a spot or two.

[Luuuuuuuuuuke59]

Looks like we are #1 in TOP as well. That is pretty significant given how our our game plan is designed and surely helps our defense be a top unit!

Carolina also leads the league in TOP (AZ is only 18 sec/game behind) and combines the 2nd highest rushing yds/game with one of the lowest passing yds/game... the formula is working to perfection.

The way he's throwing, Cam may be nearly unstoppable from anywhere in opponent's territory right now.

One thing I'm curious to dig more deeply into in terms of stats & analysis is looking at all of our TDs this season.  It seems to me that we have a pretty significant number / percentage coming from well outside the Red Zone, due to Cam's deep throws, and Ginn's speed, etc.  I'm curious to see how this year's team compares with other elite teams, and other Panthers' seasons under Cam... 

May not get to it until after Christmas, but my impression is that Cam is scarily good not only in the Red Zone, but even from 30 or 40 yards out, and that we have a higher than normal % of non-RZ TDs.   I could be wrong on this.  It's just a sense I have as I look at the drive charts, but not something I've yet studied.

We're did you pull that bullshit out of your ass? We are 10th In offensive yards a game...

 

 

Grabbed the stats from SI.com. Found out, after the fact, that I was just reading the total yards passing for the team. My mistake, sorry about that.

The yardage in the passing game is deceiving, we are ranked low in yards but high in passing yards per attempt... 

That's fine, and it even further supports the 'efficiency' angle while also still highlighting that the running game is driving the TOP. Don't need to throw passes when the run is effective, and need to throw even fewer when the ones that ARE thrown get chunks of yardage

[FootballMaestro]

And current #10 in total yards, offense (for the Haterz that wanted to switch to that column instead for some relief/therapy).
