SNF - Eagles vs Panthers

[Synthetic]

Not an entirely accurate picture of the Panthers. We scored 27 last night, 20 vs. Jax in the opener, and 24, 27, 37, and 27 vs. all our other opponents.

 

We're not having problems running the ball. We currently have the #1 running offense per NFL website. The percentage of plays we call that are run plays was 49.5% going into last night, which was the highest % in the league. More runs than passes called again last night, so percentage is over 50% now. The passes we do throw generally are skewed more to longer shots downfield to shake the 8th man out of the box. That's why our completion percentage isn't as high as WCO dinkers and dunkers.

 

And vs.Tampa, we were up 31-10 in the 3rd quarter and finished up 37-23 with only 1 of those touchdowns coming via INT return by Josh Norman in the 1st quarter.

 

 

How many of those points they score come off turnovers? Defense does a lot of work helping that offense.

It really depends on how well the Carolina offense plays. 

 

 

Carolina's offense often struggles from time to time, and it's not impossible to hold them below 20 points like last night.

 

It's their defense that is a big problem. if the Colts can limit their turn overs and maintain vs the blitz, I like their chances in this game. But after yesterday, I don't know what to expect from them. 

 

Carolina is a good team, but it's all on their defense. When teams turn the ball over vs them, they will turn that into points. Their offense is not bullet proof though.

 

 

 

Tampa Bay a few weeks ago, had Carolina in a very close game, until Winston's two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. They lost by 11 points. Winston's turnovers practically gave the game to them. 

 

Yeah indeed, we have no idea which Colts team will show up.  Since Carolina is one of those ugly, bloody you up type teams it's probably going to be a very bad mismatch.  Who knows, I guess we'll find out next Monday.

Plenty of teams wish their defense set them up as well as ours does, but if you want to go there, look at the Seattle game. All 4 of our TD drives were 80 yards or longer. And last night our lone INT was promptly given back by that INT near the goal line that Ginn had stolen away from him on the ground. No points off that turnover.

 

Btw, Saints got a TD via punt return in the game vs. Panthers that ended 27-22 Panthers.

And your point is?

And your point is? 

 

All teams get help from their defenses and special teams scoring points or giving great field position to the offense. Panthers don't have a patent on that (Saints have gotten 2 special teams TDs this year) and certainly don't depend on that to score.

The Monday night game will be tough and another national audience for the Colts after the NE game. I think they get a bye after this game, not sure but two tuff games after. Some are saying some personnel changes may occur during the bye week. Stay tuned.
