Panthers Fall to Cowboys, Make 0-3 Start

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys put a hurting on Jake Delhomme and the Carolina Panthers last night, handing the Panthers another loss as the team now starts off the 2009 football season with a 0-3 record. Now in their worst start to a season since going 0-7 in 1998, the Panthers are in survival mode, out to turn around that faltering record starting immediately after the team’s bye week next week, as the Panthers’ next game is against the Washington Redskins at home in Week 5 (Oct. 11).

Although the Panthers got beat by the Cowboys last night in the Monday Night Football madness, coach John Fox is still optimistic about the rest of the season, saying, “We have lots of football left. We’re not even a quarter through the season. We’ve had three-loss skids before. We have to stick together.” Jake Delhomme once again got slammed for his interception last night that helped the Cowboys nail in a 21-7 lead, but Steve Smith stepped up to say it was his fault for changing the route in a called slant that ended with the interception, saying, “I put Jake in a bad situation. The bottom line is that I (hurt) Jake.” Don’t expect the Panthers to stay in this funk they’re in now, as Jake Delhomme and Co. are ready to bounce back and become NFC competitors as the season kicks into full-gear.
