Carolina Panthers defeat Arizona Cardinals 34-21

Glendale, AZ- It was all just a little bit of history repeating, but not in the way most people would have thought. The Carolina Panthers intercepted Kurt Warner five times and forced him to fumble once in a performance that mirrored Jake Delhomme's playoff collapse in 2008.
In a game that wasn't truly as close as the score shows, the Panthers played like a team possessed, spurned by the embarrassment in the playoffs last season the team turned this game into a statement; making mockery of the #1 run defense in the NFL by rushing for a team total 270 yards and two touchdowns, after Arizona allowed a meager 67.5 yards average in their first six games.
More, after the jump.
The Panthers got to a early lead marching down the field. A drive punctuated with a 17 yard reception by Dwayne Jarrett and a 16 yard run by DeAngelo Williams was finalized when Jonathan Stewart punched the ball into the endzone on a 6 yard romp. The Cardinals were quick to answer, however, with Warner leading a pass heavy drive which utilized Tim Hightower out of the backfield and finished with a 14 yard TD pass. This was the last offense the Arizona Cardinals would see until the 3rd quarter however.
The Panthers asserted their dominance with a stifling second quarter. DeAngelo Williams set the tone for the period with a blistering 77 yard run from the line of scrimmage that took advantage of safety Adrian Wilson cheating up showing blitz, after getting a good lead block Williams was off the races finally being brought down by Antrel Rolle. The drive ended with Jonathan Stewart getting the call again on 2nd and 10 scoring the Panthers' second touchdown of the day. Not resting on their laurels the Panthers forced two straight 3 and outs to regain possession and streak ahead when Jake Delhomme delivered a picture perfect pass to Steve Smith for a 50 yard TD. Jake froze the CB with a hard pump fake then showed beautiful poise delivering a touch pass to Smith to go ahead 21-7.
It got worse for an Arizona team on their heels and a silent crowd when Julius Peppers picked off a Kurt Warner pass on the first play of their drive running it 13 yards for a touchdown and giving Carolina a robust 28-7 lead. At this point the Cardinals were unable to get any offense going continuing with an 8 play drive which finished with a Thomas Davis interception, Kurt Warner's second of the day. Shortly after a Carolina punt Warner was intercepted again, this time by FS Sherrod Martin filling in for the injured Charles Godfrey he made a strong case to be named starter vs. New Orleans, but Martin's day wasn't over yet.
Carolina went to the long break up 28-7 with Arizona reeling.
Arizona scored 1st in the second half on a short pass to TE Patrick. With 6:13 left in the third quarter Jake Delhomme was injured on an incomplete pass play to FB Brad Hoover. Jake walked off the field holding his chest in clear discomfort, allowing Matt Moore to attempt his only pass of the day, overthrowing a pass out of bounds to an open Gary Barnidge on the sideline. Moore wouldn't be in the game long, as Delhomme returned after one offensive series. The next drive Brad Hoover was injured, clutching his leg he was taken off via cart and appears to have sustained an ankle injury, this closed out the third quarter.
Finishing the 1st drive of the 4th quarter it would be the last time Jake Delhomme would play in Sunday's contest. He went to the locker room clearly in discomfort and believed to be having some difficulty breathing from the injury he sustained earlier. Sherrod Martin got his second interception of the day on the Cardinals' next drive. Matt Moore did not attempt another pass with Jeff Davidson and Co. electing to stick with the run tat had been so successful all day.
John Kasay hit a 35 yard FG to extend the lead to 31-14 and after a Tim Hightower TD run the next drive it was a 10 point game in Glendale. Without a threat of the pass the Cardinals attempted to key on the run stopping the Panthers, but giving the ball right back when Julius Peppers forced a fumble from Kurt Warner resulting in another John Kasay field goal. The Cardinals had one last shot driving the field without a time out, but ultimately Kurt Warner threw his 5th interception of the day when Richard Marshall closed the game out and sealed a Carolina victory.
This was a true Carolina Panthers' football game. Running the ball 44 times and attempting only 15 passes allowed the Panthers' strengths to flourish while minimizing their weakest points. It's tough to know who a game ball deserves to go to with Julius Peppers, DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart all having stellar games, but in reality they performed up to the level we're accustomed to from these players. In this writer's mind the game ball belongs to FS Sherrod Martin who stepped into the game and made a major impact with two interceptions. What do you think?

i know he didn't put up stellar stats
but if i were Fox I’d give the gameball to Jake. God knows the poor guys been put through the ringer. He played a mistake free game for the first time in a long time. For better or worse he’s our QB and his emotion helps carry the whole team.

After that performance, I say they just take the gameball and set it up as a trophy haha
We’ve been asking for everyone to step up, at once, and I think that today they did just that. This is what Carolina is about, and the reason why every one of us clamor to this and other blogs, because we know it’s coming, it’s just a matter of time.
When even we were starting to doubt them, the Cardiac Cats came alive. Lets hope they can take this momentum into the second half of the season and finish strong.
After shredding “the number 1 rush defense” in the NFL, I see no reason to doubt our ability to run more and pass less in the future, as has been done in the past.
If we play like this again next week, I can see the Panthers handing the Saints a big L. Picking Brees off would drastically affect the game seeing as their running game isn’t terribly strong.
What a wonderful feeling to know the Panthers do still have the ability to play ball!

give Martin the game ball AND the starting job!
He deserves both. But really I can’t think of any one player that this victory belongs too – for the first time this season, all cogs in the machine worked as they should and we got our first “real” victory against a strong contender. It feels good to best a strong contender on the strength of our play, rather than squeaking out a win in spite of our weaknesses. Virtually mistake-free football feels good, I know I’ll be sleeping well tonight!

Game ball to Martin. All day.
You know the Cardinals had a game plan in place to exploit him having to step in for Godfrey, and it blew up in their face. Excellent play. He earned a starting spot in my mind today.

I disagree...
Martin had a great rookie outing. He certanly helped his team tremendously. But, if you want to talk about game-changing plays on defense, I give the nod to Julius Peppers. Love him or hate him, he scored a TD on his INT that took the air right out of Arizona and the whole crowd. He brought pressure the entire game. And then, when Arizona’s halftime adjustments threatened to allow their offense to climb back into contention, he sacked Warner and forced the fumble to ice things. To me, that’s a much greater impact than Sherrod Martin’s effort.
Nevertheless, I do think Martin deserves a heaping amount of praise for his performance, too. That was outstanding coverage against elite receivers…good tackling…johnny-on-the-spot, heads-up INTs…and certainly brought a new element to our defense in the secondary. I’m not necessarily going to annoint him as the starting FS from now on. But, I would say that there’s no need to rush Charles Godfrey back from that ankle injury against New Orleans. If Sherrod Martin can help the secondary contain Drew Brees in New Orleans, then he’s the starter hands-down. I know it’s been awhile since we’ve seen great FS play for the Panthers, but let’s see how the guy puts two back-to-back games together first.
My two-cents,

I voted for Peppers...
…and was surprised that I was not only not in the minority, but in the Majority!
Apparently a lot of others saw how he can take over a game defensively. I haven’t seen the stats, but I recall a sack, a FF, an INT, a TD, and tackles made in long pursuit, plus 4-5 times he was within a split second of more sacks. More than all that, he appeared to be genuinely enjoying it all, and being a part of the Panthers’ effort, showing me that the desire to get away from Carolina may have passed.
Sherrod Martin most certainly showed more at safety than Godfrey ever has (with the sole exception of the game saving tackle on the fake kick in last year’s Arizona game) — Martin showed great pursuit and solid tackling, as well as the 2 picks.
For a change, we had a lot of heroes, and no goats.
Now, if only Brad Hoover isn’t injured too badly…..we need him to make the run game go.

Holy God good Jake and the Panthers ROLFStompped a real team
I voted D. Will for the game ball, man asked for the ball (quoting the commentators here) in meetings so he could take pressure off of Jake and he delivered. Its not too often a player comes in makes a statement like that and delivers.
Peppers comes in with a real strong if not even performance to D. Will, I mean he played like the beast he is, showcasing skills that are well worth the cool million he played for tonight. I think he may have been serious about stepping up and playing like man, and I don’t think he’s done.
Martin should get the starting job and that would be better then a game ball, he out played Godfrey by a landslide the spot is now open if nothing else.
Stewart was a machine tonight great play from a great back. (did I miss it or was the “matrix dance” missing?)
An “other” the O-Line great running, good pass protection, and not too many false starts.
Lastly I was rough on Delhomme this week (as with most every week this season) and I questioned Fox’s “evaluation” of him for starting this week. And I couldn’t be happier to eat some crow right now. I still believe that if Moore isn’t the answer then we need to address the QB position in the offseason, and that Delhomme needs to be pushed for the job. Hopefully the coaches don’t change the game plan, and we may just get end the season with a winning record.

I asked last week what had happened to Sherrod Martin well he showed up big time today. Good for him, this shows a rookie can play to this level. I will say Jake player great in the first half but his passing game slipped in the second or they made some adjustments at the half, because our yardage fell off alot in the second half.
But we brought the win home.

Could be that he only attempted two passes after the start of the second half before being injured. He attempted to come back out and threw a few more incomplete passes but ended up going to the hospital instead.

This win certainly doesn't mean
that Jake is our QB, or that he is a solid starter in any way. 7 completed passes for 90 yards is surely not a good number. We still need to address the QB issue this off season, but I won’t be complaining about Delhomme as long as he can keep his int to minimum this season.
But in my opinion, Delhomme’s days as a starting QB are over after this season. We have some potential weapons in our passing game, but we’ll never know with Delhomme in the center.

Jake was 7/14 90 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 94.3 rating in 3 quarters without Muhsin Muhammad or Dante Rosario.
Pretty good if you ask me.

There’s someone who agrees that 7/14 90 yards, 1 TD isn’t “pretty good”
by Shockers on Nov 2, 2009 12:39 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
It is pretty good
In the sense that it is a good thing to only let jake throw the ball 14 times total, it is pretty good. Davidson was trying to blow it to start the second half by having jake start to throw, but luckily he got hurt on the pass attempt and Davidson (or somebody) woke the fuck up and quit passing the ball.
I wouldn’t have had Moore throw that ball either. On 3rd and short they should have RUN THE BALL!!!!!! When your’e up by 2 or more touchdowns, on the road, in the 2nd half, and your RBs are gaining over 5 yards a carry there is never any reason to throw the football. Ever. Ever. Ever!

Lets not forget that three of those incomplete passes came after the injury that eventually lead to him being taken to the hospital.
So 7/11-90-1/0 isn’t outstanding by any means of an NFL quarterback but it was exactly what we needed.
In fact, Carolina didn’t complete a single pass in the second half and still put up 6 points while sustaining drives long enough to allow the defense to keep Arizona at bay. A bunch of 3 and outs would have given Arizona plenty of time to attempt a late come back.
If our defense would have allowed it, I don’t know. Man they were all over Warner. I felt every pick, as I had started him in my fantasy league. The joy of seeing Carolina run over Arizona quickly erased that though.
I’m not saying the past half season is irrelevant by any means but if Jake can continue to play decent games (see: today), we can let Double Trouble and our D unleash.

as long as Jake doesn’t turn the ball over, I’ll be ok with Delhomme starting this season. Hopefully now the coaches realized that they shouldn’t abandon our running game! Only good things can come out of Double Trouble

his performance has merely softened a still concerning issue
jake did well enough today to deliver a victory, which is all I ask for, but as far as how much we can depend on him for the next year is still in question
we definitely need another QB ..i’d prefer to draft one in the 3rd round so we can get another threatening WR in the 2nd to lay off coverage of smitty (assuming no other WR step up, as jarrett hasn’t really done much, moore doesn’t get the chance, and rosario still lines up as TE)
besides, the QB class is supposed to be pretty deep and there are some FA that might fit better into our offense than the ones they are currently in

I agree
I don’t think anyone’s arguing Jake is the answer for the 2010 season, of course we need to bring in a QB via draft, or FA.

Jake is very good at doing what he did Sunday
If you don’t ask a lot of him, he can deliver you TONS in the fourth. He got injured and didn’t need to yesterday, but his entire career has been built on those guidelines.
This was the first game Davidson really called that played to his QB’s strengths. If he keeps it up, then he’ll discover that Delhomme is good at bailing the team out late, but that’s the only time you can count on him.
We’re a running team. Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, we really played like one.

I voted other, where other means Ron Meeks.
The defense has shown steady improvement over the last couple of weeks, and it culminated today in what was the most inspired defensive performance from this team since Kansas City last year, and this time it came against an actual offense.
I credit Meeks with this. The guys are really buying into his system, and the gameplan he came up with this week was stellar.

I really think people are underrating the impact not having Muhammad or Rosario had on the passing game too.
We had Steve Smith, Dwayne Jarrett and Gary Barnidge as the primary receiving threats. Combined they have 39 receptions in 2009, 30 of them by Smitty.
Furthermore, that pump fake pass to Smith is a strong candidate for prettiest Panthers play of the year.

No, the passing game sucks with our with out Moose and Rosario.
With Jake as the QB its going to be a struggle to do anything in the passing game, but that’s fine. As long the Panthers just run the ball it shouldn’t matter. The play calling mix was nearly perfect yesterday. 15 passes, 44 rushes. Ideally it would have been more like 10 passes, 50+ rushes. However, i doubt that Davidson will be able to resist airing it out for a buttload more picks this season.
I know Delhomme sucks, but i really blame Davidson for our woes. With the tools they have on the team they should be running 70%+ of the time. Davidson has been putting us in a position to lose all year with his atrocious play calling.
Seeing the game yesterday was bittersweet. yes i enjoyed the win! But damn…it’s about ten months too late! The team that played yesterday would have one the Superbowl last season! And should NOT be 3-4 so far this season!

I voted for Julius...
In my opinion, Peppers had the greater impact on the game’s outcome. To intercept Kurt Warner and return it for a TD to put us up 28-7 totally deflated Arizona and took the crowd out of the game. In addition, the kind of defensive pressure he brought all game rattled Warner and that’s what you have to do to him to take Kurt off his game so he can’t beat you with all those WRs at his disposal. To me, that kind of pressure also led to the other INTs had by Thomas Davis, Sherrod Martin, and Richard Marshall. All of that wasn’t generated by Peppers alone, of course. But, he was the most noticeable in my eye.
Also, to top off Peppers’ performance, he got the sack and key forced-fumble against Warner that cut off Arizona’s chances of mounting a comeback. They were only down by 10 points and had built momentum again in the second half. But Peppers squelched all that with a major game-changing play. At that point, Delhomme had already suffered the injury to his chest. And Arizona knew we’d only be handing the ball off to Deangelo and Stewart. So, at a time when the offense was in danger of becoming completely one-dimensional, Peppers protected the lead with that sack/fumble.
Bottom line: Two game-changing plays with the INT returned for a TD and the sack/fumble to preserve the win. Both times he completely defused Arizona’s high-powered offense. And that’s more deserving of the game ball than anyone else.
But that’s just my two-cents,
—Neil
P.S. Honorable mention, however, has to go to the offensive line. They kept the pressure off Jake, enabling him to avoid costly turnovers. But, more importantly, they blasted open holes for Deangelo and Stewart all day long. With 270 rushing yards on the ground (the second highest total in team history), we quadrupled the average rushing yards per game given up by Arizona this year. And that, combined with stopping Arizona’s offense, is what we had to do to win the game.

Sherrod Martin, game ball.
As I stated briefly earlier, you give the game ball to the rookie here. Build him up on a solid performance stepping in for Godfrey and not just being servicable… but being in SHUTDOWN mode.
I think we either have a new starter, or we see a rotation to keep defenses confused. Either way, I feel much better about our depth at safety now.

The o-line played great
and in looking at teh tape last night trying to single any one player out I think it all started int he middle. On several of the key running plays C Ryan Kalil was driving the NG back off the LOS. On somce plays he has help but didn’t need it. RT Jeff Otah played with attitude as well. All 5 played extremely well but I thought it started in the middle with Kalil.
Nice write up James!

Looks like Jake got it...
MOORE KEEPS BALL: As he ran off the field, backup quarterback Matt Moore carried the game ball with him under his arm.
"That one is for No. 17," Moore said in the locker room before Jake Delhomme returned from the hospital. "I grabbed that one for Jake. I know he wants that one."

This game was Davidson's redemption, not Jake's
Davidson finally called a game that didn’t just take what the defense game and go with it. He had a plan that would assert our strength and force the defense to stop it. All too often this year, the defenses would go with 8 or 9 in the box and he would abandon the run. That put us in a position to lose, and we’ve lost a lot. Yesterday, against the best run defense in the league he said “So what?” and called the run anyway. And look what happened.
He still failed to make any good halftime adjustments, but I’ll take the game plan.
Jake did what Jake always does when we run more than we pass. This wasn’t his redemption at all, but if Davidson keeps calling games this way that opportunity will come. I wouldn’t give the ball to Jake, I don’t think he wants it. He just wants to lead a winning football team. The ball goes to Peppers, who had the biggest individual impact on the game. The win goes to Jake. And that should be enough.

I don't give Davidson quite the same kudos...
…I recall someone (a commentator offering postgame analysis? I can’t remember) suggesting the offensive players made some of their own recommendations regarding the playcalling. Deangelo flat out asked to carry a greater load. And the rest of the guys also had a fire in them to properly execute some plays for a change.
The run blocking was solid all day. Impressive performance from “little” man-in-the-middle, Ryan Kalil. And the WRs and TEs were throwing some good blocks, too. It also helped to have Hoover back and clearing running lanes for most of the game. Unfortunately, he injured his ankle pretty badly. And Fiammetta got his bell rung, too. So it’ll be real interesting to see what the injury chart looks like when we face New Orleans next.
As for Davidson, I think he got a little lucky. The offense was clicking on the first couple of drives…primarily, I believe, out of a desire to both support Jake and avenge their playoff loss to Arizona. Then, Davidson got a big play out of Steve Smith on the smoke-and-go route where Rodgers-Cromartie bit on the pump fake. Then, literally within seconds, he got another gift from the defense when Peppers returned his interception. Sitting at 28-7 makes it much easier from that point on. Davidson got to play with house money and a big lead for the rest of the game (and the first time this year). But even then, Arizona made halftime adjustments to hold us to just 6 points the rest of the game. So, they started figuring us out towards the end. If not for the additional big plays on defense (more INTs and Peppers’ forced fumble), the Cardinals could have climbed back into it, because they were definitely starting to stop our offense.
Meanwhile, I give Jake at least some redemption this week. He beat the team that took away his pride in the playoffs last year. He made good, accurate throws to his receivers (up until he took that shot in the chest, he was 7-11 and had a 145.8 QB rating!) He also had the long 50-yard TD pass to Steve Smith. So all that should help him regain some confidence. Is it full redemption? No. Because a regular season win isn’t nearly as important as the playoff loss we suffered. However, given everything bad that’s gone wrong with the team (and particularly Jake) this season, this win was still mega-important to everyone’s psyche. That goes double for Jake. So, whether you call it redemption or not, doesn’t really matter. What does matter is how he performs from here on out. If he’s turned the corner, things could start improving quickly.
But that’s just my two-cents,
—Neil

Game Ball
I would either give the ball to Stewart or Williams. They both had some amazing runs. Peppers in any other game doing what he did would get my vote, but I would have to go with a RB this time. www.thetrademarkcompany.com
