Wow. After the first half I really thought we looked so much better. Offense and Defense were starting to click. Jake was throwing the ball with touch and accuracy. The defense was beginning to stop the run and hold Dallas to 4 punts in a row after a missed field goal.
Then came the second half.
Granted, I don't believe that Jake's interceptions were completely his fault, I still think that, as the quarterback, it's your job to keep from forcing things. If a play isn't there, check down or throw it away. Could Moose have tried harder to keep the ball out of the DB's hands? Sure. Did Steve Smith break his slant route off and leave the door wide open for Newman? Of course he did.
The Panthers look uninspired and shell shocked. There is a lot of confusion on defense and missed assignments. I can't help but think that we're just not built for a Tampa 2 defense.
0-3. I don't remember the Panthers ever starting this poorly. It's going to take some monumental changes for this ship to right.
And the storm clouds are gathering.
