The Carolina Panthers recorded their second win of the season against our division rival Tampa Bay Bucs. The Panthers scored the most points in a game yet this season with 28, while still allowing the Bucs to score 21, but 14 of these were allowed on special teams and by a pick 6. This pick 6 brings up the performance of Jake Delhomme: for him it was a relatively bearable game. While his numbers were nothing to be impressed by (9 of 17, 65 yards, 1 Td and 2 INT), they got the job done. So while our passing game was not existent, our running game won us this one. DeAngelo Williams ran for 152 yards and 2 TDs and Jonathon Stewart ran for 110 yards and a TD. The offense lived off the running attack this game and the game winning drive that scored a TD with about 30 seconds left was completely based off the run. So it seems that we can manage to win if our running backs are productive and we rely little on the pass, but then again this was against a win less team. To win against respectable teams, our production on the ground will have to continue so that Jake is able to start throwing the ball a little better. But regardless, we came out with a W on Sunday.
