Preview: Panthers at Patriots

The Carolina Panthers (5-7) travel to the New England Patriots (7-5) this Sunday. Once again Matt Moore will start for the injured Jake Delhomme as quarterback. Even though the Patriots have lost two games in a row and star quarterback Tom Brady is fighting several injuries and is questionable for the game, this will be a hard away game. We will have to rely heavily on our running game and hopefully DeAngelo Williams returns and is able to contribute. Jonathon Stewart had a great game last week against Tampa Bay and Matt Moore did what he was suppose to do in his first game starting this season, not loose it. Moore should be fine against this defense since they are ranked 28th in the league in pass rush with only 20 sacks all season, so he will have plenty of time to throw the ball. While the Patriots are not the superior 16-0 team of 2007, they are still a good team but we do have a chance of winning this game. I think we have a shot because our defense is still pretty good, especially our defensive backs who have had a lot of interceptions this season, and if Tom Brady doesn't play then we'll be in much better shape.
