The Carolina Panthers are coming off a good season all things considered in 08' with a 13-3 record. Nothing wrong with 13-3, but their playoff performance looked like a completely different team.
The Panthers playoff performance against the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Divisional game, losing 33-13, was something they would like to obviously forget. Jake Delhomme threw for 5 interceptions in an awful day.
The 09' season hasn't started off like the Panthers would hope for - they are a team in disarray and the terrible game against the Cardinals seems fresh in their minds.
While the Carolina Panthers weren't the over whelming favorites to win the NFC South, no one expected them to play this badly and unorganized. When teams start out this dreadful, they will struggle the rest of the season to catch up to the leaders in the division.
For some reason, things haven't worked out this way thus far. Delhomme's not the same QB, Steve Smith has been non-existent, and the defense is not playing anywhere close to the same level as last year!
In week 1, the Carolina Panthers were embarrassed by the Eagles on their own field. They lost this game by a score of 38-10. Their defense was pitiful, and Jake Delhomme looked just as dreadful at the quarterback position.
The Panthers either have had great seasons or terrible seasons - looking back over the course of their history since 1995. Panther's fans hope the 09' season won't be disaster but a season of redemption.
Jake Delhomme can not keep throwing interceptions and putting his team in a hole if they hope to win football games. - 30542
