Panthers win gives everyone hope

The Carolina Panthers finally walked into their home locker room as winners this season, ending a seven game home losing streak that dates back to last season. This win makes the Panther 5-7 and actually positions them to make a run at the playoffs. Hilariously, the NFC’s second Wild Card spot has eight different teams vying for a chance at the postseason, and not one of them is over .500 at this point in the season. The Panthers are still very much alive.

If Carolina can continue to play with the fire and intensity they displayed last Sunday, they have a legitimate shot to make the playoffs. Obviously they’ll need some help, as any 5-7 team trying to make the playoffs would, but they’re not ready to be counted out yet. Honestly, if the Panthers can just somehow keep Vinny Testaderde healthy, they aren’t a bad team at all. They’ve just had so many injury problems, it’s hard to get a real pulse on this team and find out how good they really are. But if they can get some stability at QB, we might finally get our answer to that question.
