Panthers: number one running game in the leauge?

[PhillyB]

if not, why not?

[nosuchthingasapanther]

because overall carolina doesn't run the ball enough.

arguably. but when we do we're beast, and you could make that case that because we don't run as much as we should and we're STILL putting up these numbers, we are numero uno. or at least really close.

[Seamonk]

statistically, we're 4th now.

Tonight they were the first team in MNF history to have 2 backs gain over 100 yds each and have 2 tds each

I thought it was NFL history?

Giants and Titans have consistently run the ball better than us this year... But yea, we're looking pretty good right about now.

It was NFL history, and the proper stat was first team to have two backs with 100+ rush yards, 7.0+ ypc and 2 TDs each.

that's a pretty obscure stat... lol... but i'll take it! :biggrin5:

appreciate the correction, I heard it on the radio coming home and didn't want to overstate it

[rayzor]

we are close. we are leading in rushing TDs by 1.

giants are the best but with jacobs down or maybe just weakened we could take that over. if we run the ball (hard and often) like we did tonight i have no doubt that we could become the best running game even with a healthy jacobs in NY. atlanta and esp. tenn can make arguments but i think ours is potentially the best.

[PhillyB]

we are certainly the hottest right now, i think. this win is going to scare a lot of teams.

[carpanfan96]

only 112 yards out of first in the nfl on 17 less carries then the giants about 60 less then the falcons and about 40 less then the titans. so yes I think you could say they are one of the best running teams if not the best.

[SCpanther]

We lead the NFL in rushing TDs (23).

Statistically our rushing attack is 4th in the NFL (1,898 yds). We are behind the Giants, Falcons and Titans. However, we have run fewer times than any of those teams.

Looks like carpanfan96 beat me to it. That's what I get for not reading the whole thread.
