The defense is creeping up most of these rankings and it looks like the team is starting to figure this defensive philosophy out. We just have too many injuries to overcome on that side of the ball and so we can't seem to make up too much ground.

.

I was going to make a post asking about our redzone efficiency. You da man teeray.

Our offense has been developing and fine tuning all season. It's a process, I remember how bad illegal formations, false starts and holding calls were killing us in the red zone. Now unless Mare is involved we are going to score. Looking at those offensive stats and how we will improve just by having a real off season I think our entire focus should be on the defensive side of the ball.

[bauss]

That damn inefficient offense! How dare they stink up the field and be 5th in the league in TD's per drive.

[Marguide]

These stats really drive home how much different this league is compared to 20 years ago. To average almost 25 points per game and only be 10th in the league is amazing.

A bit of trivia...we have scored exactly the same number of points as Atlanta.

[redbuddha]

Teeray is it possible to post the ratings from the beginning of the season to see how we have improved.

[Ken]

To me the amazing part of the offense is the points scored despite of the field position. This means that we score on many long drives which is amazing.

I remember reading somewhere that we have the most scoring drives of more than 80+ yards or something along those lines.

[Ken]

Yeah I saw that too.

Also saw that we were up there with the most 20+ yards plays. :cool:

yep, most TD drives of 80 or more yards

I will see what I can do.

I can tell you off the top of my head that we have been pretty consistent throughout the season. Between 8th and 4th in TDs per drive, yards per drive, avoiding three and outs, and points per drive. We had a dip down to double digits in those categories after the Tennessee game, but other than that we have been top 10 in most categories every week.

The only thing that there has been a serious improvement in from the start of the season to now is red zone TD efficiency.

We were in the bottom third of the league in that category until about 5 weeks ago. Since then we have been on an amazing tear. I think in the last 5 weeks we are at about 85% in red zone TDs conversions.

I know u guys are looking to go all defense in the draft, but keep in mind carolina still needs more depth on offense. few people go down, offense suddlenly becomes very mediocre.

[teeray]

Here I will do this instead. Here is our offensive stats from 2010 so you can see how and where (everywhere :lol:) we improved over last season:

DVOA: 32

Points per game: 32nd (12.2)

Offensive PPG (actual offense): 32nd (11.7)

Yards per game: 32nd (258.4)

Yards per drive: 32nd (20.62)

Drive Success Rate (avoiding three and outs): 32nd (.556)

It is amazing what an innovative OC, talented QB, and a couple of tight ends can do for an offense :lol:

Our offense was straight terrible last year. It is amazing we even won two games.

[dos poptarts]

punts per drive: 30th (.485)

Turnovers per drive 29th (.179)

Can't believe that there were teams worse than the Panthers in these stats last year.

[CarolinaAllDay]

poo, the stats really dont lie. I didnt think we ranked as high as we did in those offensive categories. The defensive side however, i totally agree.
