I'm going to be a little bit of a Debbie Downer here, but 4 INT's vs. Jake Delhomme is nothing to brag about. Obviously Jake has lost his mojo. He's 34, has 8 TD's and 18INT's and a 59 QB rating. My grandmother could have snagged one of those lame duck passes. The Panthers offense is ranked in the bottom percentile in points scored, passing, and total yards. Their defense is equally as bad in points allowed and rushing defense. They are a horrible team, plain and simple.
With the aid of a whole bunch of turnovers, we only managed to squeak out a 6-17 win... in our house. That is nothing to be excited about, but it is sure better than another loss. What is there to be excited about? Rhodes showed some life. I have been a fan of him since his rookie season, and I started calling for his benching in September. He simply has played with no fire, and it has been sickening to watch. This week he showed some heart, maybe this benching will help him re-emerge as a playmaker on our defense.
Revis was amazing, and I really think that if our team had a more respectable record and was a legitimate playoff contender, Revis would be in-line for more than a probowl. He had a real shot at being the first defensive player in years to be considered for league MVP.
Again, Carolinas run defense is one of the worst in the league. Thomas Jones is having another excellent season. He only carried the ball 25 times, and only 10 touches for Greene. I really don't get it, I would have run the ball at least 40 to 50 times.
This lackluster win is behind us and in 4 days we face the Bills in Canada. It's very hard to be excited about a 5-6 team facing two teams who are also below .500 in the same week. I hope these next 5 weeks will be about evaluating who wee need to keep around and who needs to be given their walking papers during the offseason.
