The 6-2 Panthers showed resilience and heart today to overcome a 17-3 deficit against a high octane Cardinals team.

The offense looked solid with the one and only Steve Smith going for 117 yards and two scores. DeAngelo Williams picked up 108 yards on 17 carries and a TD. They converted 58% of third downs and controlled the ball late, securing the win.

The defense gave up a ton of yards, but got a timely int. and had some big sacks. It wasnt pretty but it worked. The Cards O is very good.

The Cats played real hard and deserved to win against a team that was coming off a bye week and also played pretty darn good.

No looking back from here for Carolina, we got a bye then Oakland and Detroit after them.

And the Cardinals showed they can't overcome a horrible call with Smith's foot being out of bounds!

yea right take that blame the refs garbage some place else. they challenged it and lost.

we outplayed them. plain and simple

atleast their coach was smart enough to keep a timeout so they could challenge it

There should have been two or three pass interference calls on them and a big delay of game penalty (a Cardinal forcefully held Williams down inside two minutes before the half). We had that break coming :lol:

Nice win for the Panthers.

What I am most impressed with is their ability to handle all the injuries on the o-line.

(Heck, we have one o-lineman that completely changes our offense.)

I've been impressed with this too. Kahlil was playing lights out before the injury and Hangartner has stepped in and done a nice job. I can't wait to get him and Otah back after the bye.

They're doing a good job especially protecting Jake. That is key because he get's squirrley under pressure and flustered fairly easy. All that aside I thought your RBs might have stepped it up a bit more than they have with the line gelling this year. I'm somewhat surprised their only at 3.7 ypc and 113.9 yards a game. If that gets pumped up a bit and they continue to protect Jake then the Panthers will be trouble?

Panthers running game:

G Pts/G TotPts Att Att/G Yds Avg Yds/G TD Lng 1st 1st% 20+ 40+ FUM

16th Carolina Panthers 8 21.8 174 247 30.9 911 3.7 113.9 8 32T 48 19.4 5 0 2

We've only played 2 games with our favorite 4 together as a unit. Otah definitely is a be help on the right side and his run blocking is by far his best attribute. The run game is getting stonger every week and it's very visable.

It will need too to keep you guys rolling. Is it the amount of carries that's split up you think? Who do you think has shined more this season, Williams or Stewart?

I think that the split carries has a bit to do with it, but Williams has been the bright spot IMO. Not saying that Stewart hasn't done a good job, but D Will has gotten better as the season has gone on. He had some very impressive, tough runs yesterday. One thing about Fox is that he will NEVER abandon the run, even if it isn't working out.

Which opens up the pass, especially on the outside.

We sure could have used that in Philly.

Whose blaming anybody? I just said the Cardinals couldn't overcome the call which is the truth! Replays clearly showed the foot to be out don't be such a homer about it. ESPN showed a blown up version and it clearly showed his foo being 4 or 5 inches out of bounds?...Its all good call usually even themselves out. If I was you and it was the Falcons on that play I would take the win so don't sweat it man.

why would you mention the ESPN thing? they said he clearly stayed in bounds, which he did. why would you bring up something that works against you?

4 or 5 inches??????? hahahahaha yea right, your fuc,king crazy and you call me a homer

like i said the divots on the field prove it, the green grass flying in the air doesnt lie

please show me or tell me what you saw that everyone else missed

See where they circle it in Yellow? ESPN blew it up last night and it really showed how far out of bounds it was. Like for or five inches.

http://www.truveo.com/Steve-Smith-Tight-Ro...w/id/1230322978

The announcers even said "It's unclear from that angle whether his right foot was out or not." His heel was up, his toes were in bounds. Was his foot out of bounds? Yes. Was it contacting the ground? No. Was any part of his body that contacted the ground out of bounds, beyond the field of play? No. By rule, he's in bounds. Touchdown. Quit making excuses.

what jungleking said

he stayed in bounds, I know you dont like the Panthers but this is getting silly

I dont think its too silly to disagree on a disputed point.

I think most rational people would agree the call was a borderline one...on that obviously fell in the Panthers favor, but could have just as easily gone the opposite way.
