Carolina Panthers Clinging to Playoff Hopes

The Carolina Panthers do not have many chances left to clinch a spot in the NFL post-season. Carolina Panthers Tickets remain for those wishing to catch the Panther’s last home game of the season on December 17 when they will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tickets cost anywhere from $46 to $2,100 and will be available through Stubhub.com for the remainder of the week.

Though the Carolina Panthers opened the 2006 season on the short list of legitimate postseason contenders, their positive aura has long since disappeared. The Panthers, now missing their quarterback and top two cornerbacks, have been reduced to a mix of mediocrity and desperation. Now at 6-7, the Panthers are wondering just where things went wrong. They made it all the way to the NFC Championship game last year and then signed wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson in the off-season to give them the last piece they needed to complete the win-it-all puzzle. But even with Johnson in the game, the Panthers have not been able to put up the offense needed to win.

Drew Carter, who made a tremendous catch the other day that sent the fans at Bank of America stadium into an uproar, was in disbelief after the game when his team fell to 6-7. “We definitely wanted to win this game and it’s kind of hard right now.”
