Panthers Glad to Give Fans a Chance to Cheer

There is a great article on the Carolina Panthers website talking about the Panthers second straight home win over the Seahawks on Sunday.  The Panthers had lost their first five home games of the season, and fans were beginning to wonder if they would ever actually leave their home field with the smug satisfaction that only victory can bring.  Then, somehow, the Panthers finally won a home game, and somehow they reclaimed their competitive pride.  The Seahawks were riding a five game winning streak coming into Carolina, and they left with their tails between their legs.

It’s great and very admirable that the Panthers have rediscovered their competitive fire, but it all smacks of “too little, too late,” doesn’t it?  I will never knock a team for playing out the last few games of their season when all they have left to play for is their pride.  However, it would have been nice if the Panthers could have figured things out a few weeks earlier, wouldn’t it?  Now eliminated from the playoff race, this team has a renewed energy.   Where was this energy when the Panthers still had a shot at the postseason?  I don’t know about you, but I blame David Carr.
