Great article on Sundays win

[cranky]

Nice article given props to the Panthers. It actually states the Panthers beat the Eagles throughout the entire game - not just the 4th qtr.

(Rivera haters may want to just skip the article)

i hate the % of winning a game. It literally means nothing and just adds shock value. 

[cranky]

Means nothing to me either but the later part of the article talks about the Panthers and highlights what they have had to overcome to be successful running this season.

There were plenty of people talking about Carolina's lack of rushing success last year, but this year, mysterious silence.

That's probably because by the time they think of something to say, Norv has it all changed up in the next game. Which IMO is not a bad thing. Which McCaffrey do you prepare for? RB, WR, ghost lol?

Ted Larsen is my favorite Panther.

I haven't read it yet but will, but when you go into the 4th down 17-0 you did not beat the other team at anything...

This makes our offense look competitive.  Like it.

The article basically explains what I saw early on in the game. 

The Panthers offense moving up and down the field all over the Eagles defense. That wasn't the problem. 

Problem was the mistakes and penalties. Combine that with the wind forcing more conservative calling at the end of those stalled drives, and it's easy to see why the Panthers weren't on the scoreboard earlier.

Great article.

This jibes with some stats I was looking at earlier. Our run explosiveness at this point in the season this year (#2 in NFL according to Sharp Football) is hugely improved from this time last year.  Look for more from me on this tomorrow. But our run game is our secret sauce for sure.

If not for questionable penalties it would have been 10-9 going into the half. The 3rd Quarter was probably our worst of the game.

And we are usually a very disciplined team in regards to penalties.
