The Meck Deck’s Jeff Taylor says stick a fork in the Panthers, while thet N&R’s Ed Hardin writes “the blowout exposed the Panthers as a team with obvious problems in key areas.”

But the game wasn’t a blowout. In fact, I thought the defense did a good job keeping the game as tight as it was into the fourth quarter. When turnovers and dropped passes keep a defense on the field too long, it eventually breaks down.
