Panthers Fizzle in the Drizzle

Panthers fans just witnessed first hand the most embarassing game they have ever seen at Bank of America Stadium. Pity it had to come in the form of a playoff game.

Jake Delhomme completed more passes to Arizona defenders than to Steve Smith. I think that pretty much sums up the night. The night will go down as Jake Delhomme’s worst game as a pro. Indeed, it does not get much worse.

It is now up to Marty Hurney to take a good long look at the defense of this team, and make much needed changes. For years, the fans of Carolina have watched this talented group stumble their way through a poor scheme and worse play calling. The fact that Fitzgerald was able to run the entire first half uncovered is completely unnacceptable. John Fox will not replace Mike Trgovac, but Marty Hurney will have to consider it heavily. Its not unheard of for General Managers to fire coordinators in this league.

The Arizona Cardinals deserve all the credit in the world. They have a fine team and their fans for the most part were courteous and respectful.

Sorry we could not give you a game, Cards fans. Good luck in the Championship game.
