Bill Barnwell:

4. Carolina (6-0)

It speaks to how good this Panthers defense is that Cam Newton could throw three interceptions on 24 attempts and not ever make the Panthers feel like they were in serious danger of losing. I guess the closest that Philly came during the second half was when Caleb Sturgis pulled a 50-yard field goal, but even that would have just brought the Eagles within two at 21-19 with 12:02 to go.

The Carolina offensive line, much maligned by myself and many others before the season, also deserves a lot of credit for what it’s been able to accomplish this year, especially in terms of its run blocking. Philadelphia came into this game second in the league in rush defense DVOA, and even while Carolina’s passing game was struggling, the Panthers ran all over the Eagles. The Panthers carried the ball 33 times for 204 yards, including a 43-yard end-around to Ted Ginn to set up Carolina’s second touchdown of the game.

      Saturday roll call

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      *EVERY* NFL game is aired on a local broadcast channel in each participating team's market - even if the primary national coverage is on a paid channel (ESPN, Netflix, Amazon, Peacock) For those outside the primary Charlotte or Tampa viewing areas, then ESPN may (or may not) be your only option (check local listings to confirm).   Example: Atlanta ABC is airing the game, even though it's outside those local viewing areas

      Regardless of record

      Whole point of bringing in Miller was to pair him with Slavin to cover up his defense... Injuries haven't allowed that to happen.  Which has a trickle down effect on the other pairings So what should be  Slavin/Miller Walker/Chatfield  Nikishin/Ghost   Has been Walker/Miller Nikishin/Chatfield  Some fresh bodies from the AHL   On top of that goalie play has been mostly a miss with Freddie in net and the defense in front of the goalies has been mostly trash. We probably won't get the answer to the Miller Slavin question this season (if the pairing can work at all)  Only thing can hope for is the defense to get and stay healthy and for the front office to go find a goalie and another center.
