An Early Look at the Stats : Panthers vs 49ers

[TheRed]

The 49ers are obviously very good right now, but not unbeatable. If the OL is doing their job and we aren't putting the ball on the ground, we have the pieces to defeat them. Our defense is going to have to continue to force turnovers whenever possible.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned much is special teams. We've seen some definite bright spots there at times this season but we need to clean things up after London. We really need a competent return man stepping in, I'm pretty tired of that being a continual thorn in our side.

Other then their TE they don't have proven WRs I think we faced more formidable WRs this season.

one more stat:  Ron Rivera has a losing record after a bye week. (3-5)

Ron has won the last 4 coming off a bye week. 

Stats is wrong and puts too much weight on his first years as a HC

Took a quick peek.

1-3 vs Falcons when Kyle was the OC.

In 16' we were outscored 81-49.

Just two noteworthy points...

Well one of those was a 300 yard Julio Jones game.

and the second was without Luke.

Aha!

I think Luke will make this game, and I doubt Julio suits up.

Speaks to my previous point that it's the players, not the coach, who decide the outcome.

[PhillyB]

games like this are actually ron's strong point

[DeAngelo Beason]

I think we are a good bit better than the 49ers.  I don't think this game will be in doubt from start to finish.  I'm not saying we'll dominate, but I do think we'll have our foot on their throats.

[SOJA]

extremely well coached team with a great defensive line, plus we're going across the country to play them. 

Rivera led teams have historically been not great after a bye

I feel this game comes down to whoever wins the turnover battle and boy am I scared that we will because that d line feasts on Allen and his fumble issues

Pettis is good but for some reason they don't use him, only thing I can't figure out with Shanny

This is just not true anymore, he has won the last 4

yep, Quinn ran a all time great defense in Seattle.  All time great unit.  They basically ran one coverage all game every game.  Quinn got a HC gig because of talent.

His isn't a good defensive mind IMO.  Ron for example is way better.  Ron has as a DC had top 3-4 squads.  Top 4-3 squads.  And actually schemed up good games.
