Panthers Have Much to Work On
Posted by Matt Loede on August 28th, 2007 filed in OpinionsFor the second straight week, the Carolina Panthers starters were thoroughly outplayed in a 24-7 preseason loss to New England. The first team has been outscored 48-10 in back-to-back losses to the Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. The New England offense was able to move virtually at will against the starting defense. Quarterback Tom Brady completed 17-of-22 passes and had a pair of touchdown strikes. The Pats also had a productive night running the ball. Carolina could only muster 13 rushing yards in the first half. Quarterback Jake Delhomme did throw for 162 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown strike to Keary Colbert in the second quarter. The Panthers will host Pittsburgh in their preseason finale Thursday night.
