C3 Podcast: A Division to be Won or Lost?

Knee-Jerk Reaction to a Self-Inflicted Wound at BOA

Wow, we should have won this game.  We made so many crucial and self-inflicted errors.  I LOVE Cam Newton, but he owes his team one here.  His best play was him avoiding a safety.  And his absolute worst, which was the difference in the game, was his zone-read fumble in the Red Zone.  Points there, and we most likely win.  The D did well today, but collapsed at the end.

There were some good things however:  Norwell could Wally Pipp Amini at LG.  He has a nasty streak and he is impressive.  I also liked JSTEW, Thomas Davis, Kelvin Benjamin, and Josh Norman.  And I really liked Rookie Tre Boston getting some action at Safety.
The worst of the day were Byron Bell and Nate Chandler and the absence of Greg Olsen.  But when Cam falls short, so do we.

There were other crucial errors such as Bersin's fair-catching inside the 10 with non one near him, like committing pass-interference to extend drives, so on and so forth.  But the bottom line is this team does not look like a team that has the belief that they are going to win.  Last year we did, this year, not so much.  

Now Panther Nation, root for the Packers and know that Thursday night's game is now a must win.

Seattle -5.5 (45O/U)

Get to Know Prospect Shawn Oakman

Conventional wisdom says the Panthers need to grab either a Left Tackle or a Corner Back in the next NFL Draft.  One thing to remember (and that I hold fast to) is you fill team-needs through Free Agency and you take the Best Player Available when your team is on the clock.
