Panthers offense just can't be as bad as it has looked

Recommended Posts

(By Tom Sorensen, [email protected]) I don't like to brag. I tire of people telling me how good they are. We know how good you are and we how good you aren't. People always know.p/Because my Carolina Panthers and NFL predictions have been so uncannily accurate, however, readers have tested my steadfast humility by insisting I set up an 800 number. They want me to offer pro football picks.

I looked at some stats from years past....(these are the only recent preseason team stats available on NFL.com)

Preseason #1 Defenses....

2008 Tampa Bay finished 9th

2007 Baltimore finished 7th

2006 NYG finished 26th

So there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to preseason rankings at all. Could be a top 10 defense, or could be a Giant turd.

How did the worst offenses do?

Our running game should help Matt Moore again unless we get behind by a couple of TDs and that is where the uncertainty lies.He was fortunate last year that the running game was on and the fact we were always in the game.His test will be when he gets in a position where he has to pass to keep us in the game.

Stewart has a better gig than Brett Favre. You know summer has ended when (A) kids return to school, (B) mornings and evenings begin to cool and © Stewart puts on pads and a helmet.

haha.

what people don't seem to see is that this season is shaping up to be perfect "fox" ball. a stout rushing attack and a relentless defense is all fox wants to play effective and most of the time ugly football. all this team needs from a qb is minimum mistakes and a big arm.

I agree.All that is expected of Moore is throw the occasional strike and not make mistakes.

My biggest worry is that we do end up with the worst offense and the best defense. It'll be a long and fruitless season if that's the case.

There's just so little correlation between the pre-season and the regular season in most cases. Locally, we were working out a lot of folks that normally won't see the field and rotating guys pretty quickly, which can be good for a defense and devastating for an offense. Hopefully things are settled in now.

Defensively, I believe that we have some great personnel in place, but even more so, the pre-season has shown that the philosophy and tactics behind that defense are very sound. I wasn't that thrilled about Ron Meeks coming to Carolina before last season. I just didn't want to see an undersized defense like the Colts played here -- it just wasn't that smash mouth persona we had going. Man, I was wrong.

I believe in Ron Meeks' skills and player preparation abilities. He proved last year he could make it work with a patchwork D-line and Julius Peppers only playing when he danged well felt like it. This year, he's got one heck of a Dirty Dozen lined up (throw Captain Munnerlyn in with the starters) that almost no one would pick to be that good. Says a lot for them and for him as well.

On offense, I don't believe the TD drought can continue. It won't, either. Smitty is back and that brings the whole dang game up a level doesn't it? Double team him, triple team him -- he'll get his catches and see the end zone when he wants to. He'll also open up the running game and the other receivers just by his presence on the field.

And last, but not least, there's something the pre-season can never have that the regular season does: outcomes that matter. With the game in the balance, I believe we'll see the offense strike it up, see DWill and JStew break those 50 yarders, see Smith carry four defensive backs into the endzone and maybe even see Armanti run a punt back for a TD.

At least that's how it looks on Sept. 9th, hopefully I can be saying the same thing about the team in late January.

Interesting article. So if that holds true then the 7-9 or 8-8 predictions should be about right. Of course averages don't explain the range of variability which can be a 4 or 5 game swing. So even on average the history says we should win 7 or 8 games, some teams with 1 win in the preseason did much better while others did much worse.

    • I was going to say the Dak Prescott scramble a few years ago in the playoffs that ran out the clock before getting one final shot at the end zone. But what happened at the end of the Bears game is a new level of incompetence. Made even worse in that the Bears used two timeouts on that final drive after the prior play was an incomplete pass. That and it sounds like Eberflus tried putting some of the blame on Caleb only for Caleb to indicate he doesn't have the capability to call timeouts and that he waited 20 seconds for him to get that playcall.  My goodness, the game ended when they still had a timeout in their pocket. I can't recall a similar situation like that ever happening.
