Yikes Panthers

The Carolina Panthers looked like through two weeks they were going to be able to push their way past the regression many thought they would go through.

2-0 has quickly turned into 2-2 and the concern about them seems to be coming to fruition. Carolina has given up 908 yards and 75 points the last two games to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.

The Panthers next seven games are vs. the Bears, at the Bengals, at the Packers, vs. the Seahawks, vs. the Saints, at the Eagles and vs. the Falcons before they hit a Week 12 bye

If Carolina doesn’t get its defense fixed immediately the season will quickly spiral out of control.
