I know there was hope that Carolina could pull it off, but I didn't expect the panthers to win either.

It comes down to pride... You've let this team come into your house, two years in a row to close out the season with a win for them.

Sure, pull Drew, pull the starters, whatever... But they played a full 3 quarters before getting benched and they still just tanked.

The int was acceptable... Not sure if it should have been a penalty or not, but it looked like Moore was tripped going for the ball. Had his feet stayed under him, I don't think the int happens.

The rest of the game... no excuse. They just stunk the place up.


It's like invasion of the body snatchers NFL style.

Yeah, if Moore doesn't trip, it's first and goal, we score a TD and it's a totally different game. The same is true of the Jones fumble on the goal line. If Ivory or PT are in they score and it's a totally different game. It's the little things that kill you in the NFL. Some of it was injuries to key players and some of it was lack of effort and execution. But, in the end, you have to beat Tampa at home even if you did pull your starters in the 4th.

Anyway, I'm not too upset because it was a meaningless game. All that really matters is what they do next week in St. Louis or Seattle. And that could either be to show up and destroy them or play a bad game and let it come down to the wire. I think they will show up and kill them, but I'm not totally confident of that the way I was last year.
