The Carolina Panthers are coming off a good season all things considered in 08' with a 13-3 record. Nothing wrong with 13-3, but their playoff performance looked like a completely different team.
As strong as the NFC South is now with the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, they better start making things happen before they are looking at a 6-10 season.
The 09' season hasn't started off like the Panthers would hope for - they are a team in disarray and the terrible game against the Cardinals seems fresh in their minds.
Hopes were equally high for the team entering the 2009 season. Nearly everyone was back from the year before, and things looked to pick up exactly where they left off in 2008.
The Panthers haven't shown up as of yet, they rank in the lower 3rd of every defensive category besides passing yard defense. The last several years have shown that it is very hard to repeat as division winners in the NFC South - 02' Tampa Bay Buccaneers 03' Carolina Panthers 04' Atlanta Falcons 05' Tampa Bay Buccaneers 06' New Orleans Saints 07' Tampa Bay Buccaneers 08' Carolina Panthers. The chances are good that the Carolina Panthers won't repeat as division champs.
In week 1, the Carolina Panthers were embarrassed by the Eagles on their own field. They lost this game by a score of 38-10. Their defense was pitiful, and Jake Delhomme looked just as dreadful at the quarterback position.
WR Steve Smith is one of the best play-makers in the NFL but has been forgotten and seemingly an after thought. They don't have many other go to targets, so Steve must step up and mesh with Delhomme as quick as possible.
Jake Delhomme can not keep throwing interceptions and putting his team in a hole if they hope to win football games. - 31493
