Another obvious observation. This time from a Glogger.

CBSSPORTS online has this on their gamecenter. Yet ANOTHER person from the outside that is baffled at the Panthers game plan or lacktherof.

After seeing Mr.Scot's post on the call girl thing and so many other people question the just flat out weirdness of this game, it makes you wonder.

The Panthers came in with all the hype, but embarrassingly got their *sses handed to them by the Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers only ran the ball 14 times on the night. They were known as one of the best running teams in the league. Because they decided to let Delhomme throw his arm dead, they lost this game. Delhomme was picked off five times, and fumbled once to make six turnovers on the night on his shoulders. I don't understand why they didn't run the ball more. It just makes no sense. The Cardinals, on the other hand, what exactly what they needed to do to win this game. Larry Fitzgerald went for 166 yards and a touchdown, while they spread out the passing and running game very evenly. Defensively, you can tell that these players were completely prepared to play this game, while the Panthers weren't at all. This is one of those situations in which the bye week hurt the favorites. The Cardinals move on to the NFC Championship, while the Panthers go home.

I think we abandoned the running game too soon as well....we got behind early and tried to pass and play 'catch up'.

I honestly can't believe conspiracy theorists haven't come out and say we were paid off to lose.

I would have mentioned it, but my belief is simply that Fox is a moron.

Several on the Huddle have said they thought Jake threw the game.

Some were kidding, I think, and some weren't.
