Carolina vs Tennessee Stats and Early Musing for Next Sunday

[Pantha-kun]

Yes this last game SUCKED. I may be the only person posting about the Titans until Thursday but I don't care. I'm sick of the arguing and finger pointing and want to move on.

DEFENSE

• Average yards allowed per game :  *Panthers* 16th (350.3)  / *Titans* 9th (335.6)
• Average rushing yards allowed per game :  *Panthers* 27th (135.1) / *Titans* 12th (96.5)
• Average passing yards allowed per game : *Panthers* 5th (215.1) /*Titans* 15th (239.1)
• Average points allowed per game : *Panthers* 24th (26.3) / *Titans* 4th (16.5)

OFFENSE

• Average yards per game :  *Panthers* 23rd (335.4)  / *Titans* 27th (299.0)
• Average rushing yards per game :  *Panthers* 10th (129.6) / *Titans* 20th (98.3)
• Average passing yards per game : *Panthers* 25th (205.9) /*Titans* 27th (200.8)
• Average points per game : *Panthers* 13th (25.6) / *Titans* 26th (18.5)

TURNOVER MARGIN

• *Panthers* Tied for 6th (+4)  / *Titans*  tied for 2nd (+7) {Pats first with +17}

OVERALL THOUGHTS: 

• Titans win out on most defensive stats, Panthers win on all offensive stats 
• Titans have a bad offense, but a top 10 defense that gets turnovers consistently 
• Panthers overall have mediocre to bad defense, and a mediocre to bad offense

Not a clue who wins this one. I'd expect a lot of running and safe plays by both teams. And a low scoring contest decided by a field goal.

Yeah.....Uummm.....This means nothing.  Henry is looking to have a fun day going beast mode and the Panthers will all need to be wearing Depends for next game.

Must win IMO, not only for the record, but for the mental state of the team. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

Titans were smart in benching the inconsistent mariotta, tannerhil has played far better in his starts, kinda underrated as a qb imo, there run game isn’t bad either.

basically if we show up like we have most the year we win, Kyle’s gotta grow up fast and fix some of the nuances the 9ers were keying in on him. Disappointed the coaching staff didn’t go over that with him during the bye week to help further his development 

[Burnout189]

I've watched a few of the Titans games since they are the local team where I am. Their offense is about as bad as they come, excluding Henry who is just a beast of a RB.. Their defense is good, but if the team actually shows up to play this time, we should win this game by at least 14+. 

[Forty-Eight]

Gotta win this game. I expect Allen to start at QB once again. As long as we don’t turn the ball over on offense, I think we win. Win the next three games vs Ten, GB and Atl. We’ll be at 7-3 with a big game in New Orleans. 

[AggieLean]

Pretty much averaging 26 and giving up 26 points per game. Giving up 50 points really hurt.

[BurnHurnBurn]

The sads are gonna be super real.

Titans don’t have Shanahan and all the scheming on O. 

There also is a type RB that causes the Panthers issues.  It isn’t Henry’s style. 

Tenn is just a better matchup for us.

Allen is gonna be fine.  This isn’t SF. He has faced plenty of good fronts this year.  

Total overreaction going on because of one game.  We got the same team that flew out to SF.

He’s face one top 5 D, Titans are the second one he will face

This matchup is no cake walk if Allen doesn’t get over what just happened and the run D doesn’t get any better in a week.

At some point Allen is going to need to make more plays...  I give him "a pass" on the SF game in that the entire team minus CMC looked bad.  And while I don't expect him to carry us against teams like SF, he is going to need to make plays against good defenses at some point if we're going to stay competitive for the next couple weeks... Assuming Cam isn't back before December anyway.  Hopefully he is.
