Panthers Pick Off Colts in 27-19 Win

The third quarter has not been kind to the Panthers this season. Whether leading or trailing at the half things tend to get worse in the 3rd quarter. So today maybe it was a good sign they were tied at 10 at the half. After driving down to the red zone early in the 3rd it seemed like more of the same after a Jeremy Shockey fumble. Fortunately the Panther ground game got rolling and DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart helped put the Colts away. It wasn't without some 4th quarter worries though.
After going up by 11 the Colts scored on a long TD to Reggie Wayne to pull within 5 after a failed 2 pt conversion. Fortunately KR Kealoha Pilares did some good work returning the kickoff down to the Colts 32. The Panthers settled for a FG but it pushed the lead to 8 and the Panthers didn't look back. CB Chris Gamble and then S Sherrod Martin ended the Colts last two comeback attempts with INTs in the end zone. It was another nail biter but we got our 3rd win of the season to rise to 3-8.
The Good
- QB Cam Newton was 20 for 27 for 208 yards with one rushing TD and 54 yards rushing
- RB DeAngelo Williams racked 69 yards and 2 TDs on 15 carries
- RB Jonathan Stewart added 70 yards on 10 carries
- KR Kealoha Pilares had a 76 yard kick return to set the Panthers up at the Colts 32
- Both CB Chris Gamble and then S Sherrod Martin had key INTs in the 4th quarter to end a Colts threats. The last came with only 30 seconds remaining to seal the win.
The Almost Great
- PR Armanti Edwards had a beautiful 45 yard return nullified by a penalty
- WR Steve Smith had a sweet reception taken away on a ticky tack OPI call
It wasn't all roses as we had a few issues but over all its positive...after the jump...
The Bad
- The Panthers run defense continued its porous ways letting Donald Brown rush for 80 yards and a TD
- TE Jeremy Shockey fumbled the ball away
- WR Reggie Wayne was the recipient of some generosity from our secondary who at times couldn't tackle him. He had 5 catches fro 122 yards and a TD
- The Panthers o-line gave up 3 sacks and at times seemed to have lunch in the Panthers backfield.

Panthers went from last to Top 5 in offense in one partial off-season
If they can do that on the defensive side this year, Carolina will be a dominate team for a decade +
Go Panthers, good win today.
hey bro, idk if its always been you but its not dominate in that context.
Its dominant! I’ve seen it at least 4-5 times on here and its bugs me. No offense plz but I had to easy something this time.

Maybe losing your helmet is a good thing. All that momentum transferred to an item that dislodges itself from your body, rather than transferring it to your skull.
It is better than...
the punters chin strap from the Colts. Go back and look at it. It is like no one ever told him how to put a helmet on.

To be fair
there were some dropped INTs today b the Colt defenders
Life is what you make it brothers....
that means they didn't intercept it.
and I know 1 of them was a tipped ball by the receiver (Smith).

I nominate Martin to represent us on Dancing With the Stars
He needed to make that play, to get the bad taste out of game watchers’ mouths, after that HORRIBLE example of a missed tackle on Wayne, giving up a TD.
That boy just can’t wrap up.
That criticism aside, it was a sweet play, to grab the tipped ball, and keep his toes off the back EZ line. Sure felt like we were going to find a way to let them tie it up.
Has to be top 5 best INTs of the year league wide, no question

That and the Bangles D...
If our D played like the Bangles D we would have a way better record. But really Dalton has gone against some pretty crappy teams. I think the wow factor of Cam will outshine Dalton’s chance at ROY… Especially if we close the season strongly.

we beat N.O.
Because they will rest their starters. ATL will be out of it after they lose to us and to N.O. Leinert got hurt today, not to sure what Houston’s qb status will be, but putting in the 3rd qb in the season can’t be good. Little time to prepare. Atlanta will lose to us and NO and Chicago will lose to GB, but both teams will win out the remaining games, which means Chicago will get the wild card, not Atlanta. and that means we go 8-8…it’s the perfect storm.

Dalton wont win ROY, Cam will hands down. Just like Pat Y says, Cam’s a lock. On this game, I will say im more happy that we didnt lose. Feel kind if meh by this game, a W is always good but I was hoping for atleast a double digit win.
Looks like the Rams lost to the Cards at home. Yea they wont win another game, unfortunatley since we have the hardest schedule we will get hit come draft day and might fall to the 7th or 8th pick becausecI think there is going to be a lot of 2-14/3-13 teams come the end of the season.
Not if Dalton takes the Bengals to the playoffs. Voters can't look past records.

Cam is a lock. How do you explain it that Manning can win it when he had more interceptions, only 3 wins, less passing yds, a lot lower QB rating, and 0 rushing TDs.

Because Manning is white for one, lol
As am I, that would be one way to explain. It is the reason he caught so much crap out of college. As for records, PP7 just tied the NFL record for punt return td in a season at 4. It is not a lock. Should he win it, hell yes he should, will he win it, depends on voters moods that day.
As the great philosopher Yoda said "Try not! Do you must!"
PP7 is not a factor for ROY.
4 plays does not a season make.
It’s only Dalton and Von Miller that have a chance to beat Newton for that award.
If some1 wins ROY for punt returns,
while slacking in his CB duties, you know something is wrong with the system.

Rookie of the year is for Offense and Defense…Von Miller has already locked his up imo

There is a ROY, and a DROY.
I may be mistaken, but I don’t think there’s a strict prohibition about the DROY also being able to win the other (the overall award), too, if he were that good.
ROY is offense..DROY is defense that is how it has always been since the 60’s

That's true for the AP ROY awards - 2 separate categories.
While I’m sure neither one of us is considering this, there has been another award, The Pepsi ROY, which Suh won last year – it’s voted on by fans, from a list of 5 finalists of their weekly awards.
But after looking into it, I know you’re absolutely right, and Von Miller is probably a shoe-in for the DROY, with only minimal competition from Dalton, and possibly Dallas’ Murray, for Newton, for ROY.
yeah i was talking on the AP awards. But i get where you was coming from. I think Miller and Cam have it locked. I mean Cam is going to break Manning’s passing record for a rookie and break the all time Rushing TD record. One of 5 records NFL.com said would never be broken. I fail to see how what Dalton is doing is more impressive considering it being a individual award.

I think Cam has to take responsibility for 2 of them.
The Panthers o-line gave up 3 sacks and at times seemed to have lunch in the Panthers backfield.
I am not bashing him for it because he is a play maker, but he does hold the ball too long at times.

i agree with you both times he had guys open and he had his eyes down field. Either read it or throw it away. Cant take big losses like that. Almost impossible to get the 1st

Big Ben syndrome.
Fearlessly looking to extend the play.
Better than throwing it at the cheerleaders, or curling up in a fetal position, isn’t it? Personally, I had enough of that last year.
I guess when you can avoid the pass rush you don't need to throw the ball away when the rush gets to you in 2 seconds.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
Only problem I have with it is
I saw Shockey running to his right wide open a second or 2 before his first sack. He probably would have had a first down instead of a 10 yard loss. But likeI said before, I cant bash a play maker when he fails to make a play now and then.
STICK THE KNIFE IN AND TURN IT!!!!!
It seems to me
like he is less comfortable in the pocket after being hit several times the last couple games. I did enjoy watching him step up in to the pocket to get away from pressure several times today. Good awareness, and we need him to feel comfortable back there

A win is a win but we almost gave another one away to the 2011 Colts of all teams. The Bucs lost again today so I don’t know if that put’s a chip on their shoulder or exposes an opening for Carolina. The first Newton – Freeman matchup will hopefully be exciting and down to the wire. I’ll predict CAR 24 – TB 20

After that 20 yard sack against Cam (which he should've thrown out of bounds), the O-line seemed to give him all the time he needed rest of the game...
I LOVED our running attack in this game; this is what we need more of (I know, it’s the Colts we’re talking about, but our blocking was looking pretty good for the most part). I just wish they could practice tackling more throughout the season, because piss poor tackling was the biggest reason Indy was even in this game…

5 that I recounted weeks ago.
He could/should very well have 17-18 TD passes.
Remember the long debate between BW and myself about Pilares and the kickoff returns?
My biggest complaint was he doesn’t try to return it when it’s deep. check this out, I like it.
Carolina Panthers at 08:16
1-P.McAfee kicks 73 yards from IND 35 to CAR -8. 81-K.Pilares pushed ob at IND 32 for 76 yards (1-P.McAfee).

No offense to Pilares or anything, but the blocking on that KR was perfect. Anyone in the league could have taken that return that far, someone faster would have scored.

I made it pretty clear I would accept it if he got stopped at the 10.

I can’t believe Pilares let that kicker catch him. He seems to get winded pretty quickly – needs to take a page from D-Will’s book and run every ball the distance during practice

Not sure what you mean by "letting that go".
I was complimenting how Pilares returned it from deep, before I was complaining that he doesn’t.

What I meant was
This is a never-ending debate on multiple thread. Not that I mind, just making an observation was all.
"One step at a time"
I believe the debate ended when he returned 1 for a td last week.
I just liked pointing out that he tried 1 from deep and it didn’t kill us.

McDermott said he told his defense, when backed into a corner, come out swinging. Wasn’t always pretty, but they did that at the end today.

It's time BAMF conducted a tackling clinic.
He should bring in some of his friends from the ’85 Bears team on a Monday afternoon. They can slap the kids around for a couple of hours and show them what it takes to reach the top.
Seriously, an old Navy tradition was “Ropeyarn Sunday”. It was actually Wednesday afternoon. It was a few hours off regular duties to catch up on all the training and maintenance deficiencies that had been noticed in previous drills. An afternoon or two THIS season, dedicated to tackling would benefit the Panthers defense.
Sometimes receivers need to be re-taught to “look the ball” into their hands. They spend a few hours a week with the JUGS machine. Tackling is no different.
Exactly.
This rule has been pissing me off all year. I see absolutely no way to fix problems with tackling when you are not allowed to practice it.
This is the worst rule of the new CBA.. although the kick off rule is a close second.
3rd and 3
That was a terrible play call going deep on 3rd and three instead of going for a safe first down.

He's a joke
but he can catch… so, lets try him at WR. He hasn’t made a tackle in at least three games. And no, I am not counting the one that somebody tackled and he fell on after the guy hit the ground.
Refs just called a PF on DJ Williams for pulling a helmet off an offensive player.
Officiating in the NFL is horrendously inconsistent – the same thing happened in our game and nothing was called.

The guy ripped Cam’s helmet off and threw it like 15 yards after Cam was wrapped up and defenseless.
Which one? Either way I'm sure he was the best player on the field.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
See it's funny 'cos the guys that make it to the NFL tend to be extremely gifted athletically.
And of course that shows at a young age.
In ‘soccer’ though the ones that make it are no quicker or stronger than your average person (assuming they’re in shape!), but their ball control is generally out of this world. I’ve played with a few academy rejects (i.e. taken on as promising youngsters but released because they’re not considered good enough to make the grade) who were just streets ahead of everyone else on the pitch. It’s pretty humbling.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury

That is funny, I didn’t really know that, as a typical American I don’t really follow “soccer.” Even though I did play a bit as a youngster. I guess it’s the fact that you don’t have to be physically dominant in soccer, but must have great coordination and endurance.
Pretty much. I mean it helps, being athletic, but the best play in the world is about 5'4".

The draft isn't going to be enough to revamp this defense
Live the INT’s. But Seriously… The one game they step up is the ONLY game where half of us have no clue who the QB is.

Had he slammed the brakes on, around the 40, no way the kicker could have altered his angle – he’d have fallen all over himself trying. But I guess Pilares figured he could outrun him to the sideline.
Here is a good stat to point out from todays game.
Newton threw the ball to 6 players. All 6 of them had at least 3 catches. 1 of them had 5 catches. No1 can say Newton singles out any1. He completed 20 of 27 passes.

He was able to catch it because he pushed off with both arms extended.
Not that such subtlety doesn’t always get called. Muhsin made a career of it, to get last second separation. You didn’t see Smitty complain about the call – he knew he did it.
Oh God the Broncos won. I use to like Tebow but now I’m starting to loathe him. No I’m not hater, it’s the fact that the media thinks he is god and never mentions the fact that Denver having a good D might have a little something to do with the wins.

by adam carter on Nov 27, 2011 8:28 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
My thoughts exactly
I like the guy, but it’s ridiculous how he has all this praise heaped upon him. The Broncos win “in spite of” Tebow not “because of Tebow.”
No they win because of Tebow
I dont care what anyone says they would not be winning without Tebow’s ability to run and his playmaking ability.
They win because they're averaging 200 rushing yards per game with Tebow under centre.
That allows your D to rest up and tires out the other team. Is it any wonder he drives down the field in the 4th Q when they run it 40 times a game?
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
Outside of the Raiders game
They haven’t scored more than 18 points in any game with Tebow. The only reason they had a chance to march up the field on the Jets last week was because the Jets handed them 10 points. Sanchez threw a pick 6 and their FG was a result of starting on the Jets 34 after a 13 yard punt. The D has given up 20 ppg (15 if you take out the Lions game) since Tebow stepped in. The team around him is playing well. Tebow is not.
Yes, but he can't move the ball consistently either
The Broncos have been absolutely atrocious on 3rd downs.
I dont know what games you are watching
Iv watched like every Broncos game and the Broncos would suck without Tebow. Im not trying to be rude but I dont think you know what your talking about. Tebow passing has not been great but his running has and he delivers good passes when it counts in the 4th quarter, thats why they call it “Tebow Time”
by TS BOBCAT on Nov 27, 2011 9:43 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
Yup.
Completing 5 passes and rushing for 40 yards makes you a game changer
Panther Pride 'till I die.
Its because before him they didnt win
And with him they are. He is the only factor that changed after that 1-4 start. I mean explain that to me?
He is a game changer because teams are scared to death of him
When the ball is snapped you dont know what he will do. Hw gives the Broncos offense so many options and makes D’s have to gues if he will run it or throw it orhand it off. If he is not a game chnger and if the Broncos are winning on their own will someone please tell me why they were 1-4 before Tebow and now they have gone 5-1 and contending for the playoffs, can you explain why the Broncos werent winning on their own then? I dont mean to get too passionate about a player that is not a Panthers and I promise I get like this when anyone bashes Cam but I like Tebow and I get tired of how people treat the dude, its not his fault the media is always covering him.
I've watched what has been aired on TWC
And I watched the whole Jets game. I know he’s clutch. I know he can run. I’m not denying that. But since he’s been in, they’ve relied heavily on the run and it’s payed off. Like I said above, they aren’t scoring much but the D keeps them in the game until “Tebow Time.”
For example, the first 4 Bronco drives today ended in punts. They finally got a TD on their fifth drive to make the score 10-7. After 2 more punts, the Broncos moved the ball 57 yards in 10 plays (1 completed pass; Tebow accounts for 22 yards) and kicked a field goal. Then another punt. Finally, with 5 1/2 minutes left Tebow put together a great drive in crunchtime in which Tebow was fantastic. Then, in overtime, the first 2 Bronco drives ended in punts before they kicked the game-winning field goal.
9 of the Broncos’ 13 possessions ended in punts. 2 of the 4 scoring drives started past the Denver 40 yard line.
Sorry for the game summary.
Im not trying to say he is great
Im not even saying he is a franchise QB but the fact is since he has been starting they are winning and they werent before him. I know it isnt pretty but at the end of the day it doesnt really matter if he wins.
Surely it's 'defend'.
Dan Foute was using the word ‘defence’ in that exact context today throughout the Broncos game. It was driving me insane. Much like ‘dominate’ instead of ‘dominant’ and ‘defenced’

You're correct that strict usage would have defend as a verb, and defense as a noun.
But in the colloquial vernacular, esp. in sports, defense has gained usage as a verb, too.
Your use on an American blog of the word defence (strictly a British variation) is incorrect, however, just as if you’d sworn on your honour. Do as the Romans do.
Since you’re now self-admittedly insane, I’ll grant you passes for not beginning your last sentence with “It’s,” and for your omittance of the comma needed between ‘English’ and ’I."
Seek help before parsing the language with me again. I majored in English Lit at Columbia U. Oh, and I think Mr. Fouts would be driven insane himself, by your misspelling of his surname.
It MUST be tough being English.

They are the perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts
They don’t have tons of individual talent but they know how to play to everyone’s strengths and they put their players in a position to succeed.
They have an all world QB in a passing league
They used to have some special players on D, before the PI rules changed (or the emphasis changed, whatever). Now they get by on smoke and mirrors.
So yes most of it is the HC quite simply being a genius, but they still have a lot of good players. Those two TEs for example are pretty special.

But here’s the difference…I fully expect him to play better down the stretch than he has up to this point.
I dunno dude, over the last 3 weeks Cam has averaged 233 passing yards per game.
And the last time he went over 300 yards passing was against the Bears in week 3. I think Cam is slowing down, almost as if he has hit a mini rookie wall, except it’s only a speed bump.

All rookies hit a wall after week 10.
Both mentally and physically they’re exhausted. Mainly because the college season is winding down now whereas the NFL season is in mid flow. They’re not conditioned for it.

Exactly, I'm just saying that I don't see any more 350 yds. 3 TD games this year.
I don’t think Cam has to win the game on his own anymore, now that the running game is firing on all cylinders and the WR’s and TE’s are more familiar with the offense.

I can see that
But I think he’s gonna play better in terms of better decision making. I think today was an example as he didn’t have any turnovers. He held the ball too long on a couple sacks, but I think that will get corrected. I mean, if I can see it from my seat, Cam probably knows he made a couple mistakes, too. He’s also throwing for fewer yards because we’ve been running more. So I think he’ll be more efficient down the stretch with fewer mistakes, and more clutch plays.

+1, I think decision making is going to be a place of focus for Cam, Chudz and Shula this week.

I expect him to make another jump in the offseason.
Right now he is what he is.

We've been throwing less as the season has gone on
And you can’t only look at passing stats with Cam even though he’s a QB. His rushing stats are just as important to the success of this team.
If the Chiefs pray hard enough, Tim Tebow will swoop in to save them from all their enemies.
May his name be praised.
Brandon Thompson is the new Jacoby Ford. You better pick him Panthers or you will be doomed to relive the 2010 season over and over again in the Twilight Zone.
i'd love to see it

Anyone notice how Fox is running the option late in the 4th?
And it’s winning close games at the end… But we run it in the first half, occasionally in the 3rd quarter, but never in the 4th. Just an observation… Maybe we should bring out our trick back late to win a game instead of going vanilla in the 4th.
STEVE SMITH!
I think he's saving Tebow. If he ran the option all game Tebow would be out of gas in the 4th Q.

They're making way to much of Johnsons celebration
It was funny as hell to me

I know I loved it
Maybe Plax shouldnt have been dumb and shot himself. It was a little disrespectful but im sure Plaxico has said or done some disrespectful things before, all players do. Its almost like the circle of life in football.
It's funny 'cos he dropped a game winning pass in the endzone and his team lost.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
They make too much of celebrations in general
It’s a game. It’s meant for entertainment for the players and the fans. Let them have some fun.
Agreed
I think Tony Schefflers are stupid though. They seem like desperate attempts for attention because he knows he wont be relevant long.
I laugh because they suck so much
He tries to hard

Off topic a little, but I heard the announcers say Cam is the 1stvQB ever to have 3000 passing yds through 10 games.. Didnt Brees and Rodgers have 3000 passing yards by week or 8 or am I misunderstanding?
They probably meant rookie QB

…and throw an interception.

Ding ding ding.. Palko, Gabbert and Painter walk into a bar and Tim Tebow is the bar tender…

That'd be awful
Gabbert is looking to be the worst of the class thus far.
I’ve lost a lot of respect for McShay recently
I'm just curious
Who did you want us to draft?
I’ll be honest I had
1. Green
2. Peterson/Gabbert (I didn’t trust cam at the time… Now I feel stupid)
by rscott94 on Nov 27, 2011 11:15 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
There was a lot more than just Mcshay
But yes, it does seem silly now. Only cause Cam is so damn good.
What are we gonna do with Goodson then?
I wouldn’t mind dropping him and picking up LaMichael James… But if we don’t get James then maybe we keep him?
by rscott94 on Nov 27, 2011 11:13 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I don't care about the Chiefs, but I hate Palko.
He’s the sole reason they’ve lost tonight.
On a related note, man is that a loaded team. Three very good WRs, a good RB, a good joker in McCluster and a very very talented D. They just need a QB.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
Yeah I dont want Dwayne Bowe
Dude just cost his team the game because he was to scared of getting hit in the ribs to tip the football away. I know it was a dumb desicion by Palko but still it didnt have to be an intercepted if Bowe tried.
It was high and behind him. Best he can do is tip that into the air. Horrible throw.
"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury
That was ridiculous by Bowe
No effort to catch the ball with the game on the line? That was awful. If he just puts his hand up, even without touching the ball, it probably doesn’t get picked.
I know some of you guys was big on Dwayne Bowe maybe signing here next year if he hits FA…after the game i just watched and game on the line he wouldn’t even raise his arms in fear of getting a shot to the body…ball sails and turns into a pick…No thanks
