Anyone have a lot of spare time?

I would be curious to find out how the Panthers defense ranks in terms of points allowed from the first game in October on.

It looks like we are definitely higher ranked than Denver. Curious to see how high we rank.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'll look into it, I have a LOT of time on my hands.

Edit for results: Both teams had their Bye in Oct, but the Panthers held their opponents to 19 points while the Donkey's held theirs to 23.

Give me a bit and I'll compare the O's they faced.

I am a very busy man, I can't be bothered with such trifles.

I'm not guaranteeing 100% accuracy. Someone else can rank them.

The broncos only giving up 13 to the saints is pretty impressive.

Another tidbit- Hardy and Johnson with 8 sacks on the year (Tied for 3rd individually). Hardy is 4th overall in tackles @ 23, 4th in QB hits @ 11, and 4th in tackles for a loss @ 8. Doing this all in 7 games- everyone ahead of him has 8-9 games. Very, very impressive and encouraging.

Dont forget that seven points were on the offense in the BEARS game.

Hardy is tied with Peppers in sacks.

Hardy is tied with Peppers in sacks.

From October on or for the year? Hardy has 6.5 sacks to Peppers 5 for the season.

[h0llywood]

With 2,744 yards allowed for the year, that places the Panthers defense at #11, ahead of some notable defenses like Seattle, Arizona, Atlanta and Baltimore.

[Jesse]

I gotta admit, our defense has looked pretty stout since Kuechly has anchored the middle. But what I love the most is seeing TD out there making those monster tackles.
