Game grades – Panthers at Falcons…

The Panthers are 1-5, but it feels like 1-6. On with the grades. Offense You know things just are not going your way when a defensive lineman makes an interception. Overall the Panthers offense was not terrible, but they did not do enough to win the game (obviously). The turnovers were costly and too much to ask of our young defense to make up for.
