Panthers Open As 3-Point Favorite Over Buccaneers
The Panthers have opened as an early three-point favorite to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.I expected the Cats to be favored by a bigger margin than that, but Carolina certainly hasn't been a juggernaut this year and the game IS being played in Tampa Bay.Both teams have struggled offensively this season, with the Panthers averaging just 14 points and 97 rushing yards...

Dramatically Improved Defense Key To Cats' Win
A dramatically improved defense was the key to the Panthers' 20-17 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon.Under heavy criticism for their lackluster play in the team's first three games, the much-maligned Carolina defense responded with a solid performance on Sunday, shutting the Redskins down repeatedly in key situations.The Cats allowed a couple of short-field...

Panthers' DT Sidelined By Broken Ankle
The Panthers lost another player to injury in Sunday's game against the Falcons, and once again it comes at the position where they could least afford to lose a player.Already reeling defensively from the season-ending torn achilles injury to defensive tackle Maake Kemoeatu, the Cats have now lost Kemoeatu's replacement, Louis Leonard, who suffered a broken ankle in Sunday...
