Hapless in Seattle: Panthers fall asleep after halftime

[Laetitia]

(By Joseph Person, [email protected]) SEATTLE -- For the first half Sunday, it looked like the Carolina Panthers were going to enjoy their five-hour, cross-country flight back to Charlotte. And then the third quarter happened. p/ After building a 14-point lead that was their biggest of the season, the Panthers saw it evaporate in a five-minute stretch that epitomized this 1-11 season #x96; with breakdowns in all three phases.

Yea that's John Fox for you. Score 3 or more points and try to sit on that lead all game.

Doesn't matter if it's only the 1st quarter.

The Panther implosion.... has happened many times before, not just this season.

Yea at least this one wasn't on a Gamble punt return.

it was funny, the broadcaster said we are not built to come from behind, I said wtf, we aren't built to play with a lead either.... and the fact that we NEVER make halftime adjustments is unreal

We made a great halftime adjustment. Fox told the guys they'd better start half-assing it if they want Luck.

We need to be in the lead by at least 35 points going into halftime to actually have a shot at winning the game.

I wish we had a more pass-oriented offense (not RUNNING on second and deathly long, no more run-run-pass and being completely predictable and easy to read) ... just to see what happens (and give smith and our wide receivers more chances..
