Well, so much for making predictions! At least when it comes to football.
Unless you were completely locked away from the world over the weekend you’ve probably seen that our hometown Carolina Panthers got absolutely destroyed on Saturday night at Bank of America Stadium. And the saddest part of it all is that they really never had a chance to win.
That’s thanks mostly to the worste performance of QB Jake Delhomme’s career. He threw 5 interceptions and lost a fumble to account for all 6 of the Panther’s turnovers. Those 6 turnovers resulted in 23 points for the Cardinals and if you consider the final score was 33-13, it makes you wonder what could have been.
In addition to the heartache of Saturday night’s performance, the Philadelphia Eagles went in NY yesterday and beat the 1st seeded Giants, which means had the Panthers won, they would be hosting the NFC Championship game here in Charlotte next Sunday.
Unfortunately, we’re all left with the sting of Saturday’s loss, something we’ll have to live with until the Panthers hit the field again sometime in September. I’m hoping that over time we’ll all remember more about what a great season the Panthers had instead of the disappointment of Saturday’s painful loss.
