Carolina Panthers fall to Philadelphia Eagles

The Carolina Panthers lost Monday night, 27-24, against an Eagles team that managed a late-game rally to take home the W.  Things looked bleak for the Eagles two weeks ago when Donovan McNabb went down with a season-ending torn ACL and was replaced by Jeff Garcia.  Though he struggled through the first-half against a Panthers defense that consisted of NFL sack-leader Julius Peppers chasing him nearly every play, Garcia finished 21-of-39 with 312 yards.  The Carolina Panthers will take on the New York Giants this weekend at home.  Carolina Panthers Tickets to the Giants game cost anywhere between $50 and $800.

Things just never seem to go the Panthers way, but they are still tied for the wild-card in the NFC.  The scary news now for Panthers fans is that Jake Delhomme may have a sprained right thumb.  He sat out of practice on Tuesday after hurting his thumb early in the game against Philadelphia.  Although he toughed it out to finish the game and managed to throw three touchdown passes, he also threw two crucial interceptions that cost Carolina the game.  X-rays after the game revealed no serious injury.
