(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) NEW ORLEANS -- Most days when you allow the opponent to hold the ball all day and win, it's hard to find the good in a defensive effort.But the Carolina Panthers' stop-side did everything possible to leave the Louisiana Superdome feeling positively about themselves, and still didn't. p/You look at the other games this year, and you say 'Hey, we made too many mistakes to win,' Panthers linebacker Jon Beason said. That's not the case this week. This one feels like it's not even fair.

Yeah but they didn't play that well either. How many times did we miss first tackles and give the Saints first downs. How many times did the Saints convert third downs? Yeah, way too many. Sure the offense helped very little but the defense had plenty of times where one tackle made in the backfield or a pass batted down instead of interference would have stopped the Saints. How many yards did we give up on the ground to no name backs? Well over 100. What about bree's completion percentage? must have been 65%.

Truth is we bent and bent and finally broke. That is the best we can say today, the team played okay but not great. For me that is not good enough. Not nearly good enough.

D may not have lost it, but the ydidn't win it, either.

When your D doesn't get people off the field... meh.

Yes, our O only had 2 good drives, again. That's a problem.

Then again, we only had 9 possessions. >.< Still need more production out of the O.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
