Holy flying footballs Batman!!! Where did this Panthers team come from. A week after giving Bret Favre and the Vikings a nice spanking on Sunday Night Football, they come out and utterly destroy the Giants, ending virtually any hopes the Giants may have had for the post season.
It was another huge game for Matt Moore and the injury riddled offensive unit. They played like veterans posting some incredible numbers. Matt Moore threw for 171 yards on 15 of 20 passes with 3 TD passes. Jonathan Stewart showed his teeth running for 206 yards on 28 carries (which I believe is a team record). Unfortunately Steve Smith broke his forearm on a touchdown catch from Moore and won’t play in the final game. The defense played probably their best game all year. The Panthers are now 7-8 on the year and have an excellent shot at going 8-8 for the season.
The performance the past two weeks will more than likely help keep Fox employed but I sure hope he’s paying attention to Moore. I think if they go out and play half as good against the Saints next week that the quarterback for next season should be a given. I Fox stays and Jakes healthy I’m sure he’ll say Jake’s “his guy”, he’s nothing if not loyal to a player (usually for far too long). I guess we’ll have to wait to see which way that ball bounces.
