Panthers Close with Win over Saints

The Panthers ended their disappointing 2006 season with a record of 8-8 after a win over the New Orleans Saints.  Although the Saints had nothing to gain by playing to win, it was a close game, ending up with a score of 31-21.  The Panthers were led by QB Jake Delhomme, who completed 23 of 27 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns.  Both of these touchdown passes went to superstar WR Steve Smith.

The Panthers will probably look back on this season with a theme of “what might have been.”  They were a talented  team that had a lot of injuries and lost more than a few games they should’ve won.  Regardless, Panthers tickets for next season will be in high demand, and StubHub is the place to go to find them.
